FAQ

Local SEO questions

Do you work with businesses in Columbus?

Yes. NativeCode is an Atlanta-based agency that works remotely with Columbus businesses. We work over video calls, and you share photos of your space and team so your profile shows the real business.

Should I target Dublin and Westerville separately from Columbus?

If you serve them, yes. Many people search with the suburb name. Pages with real details for each area, such as projects, directions or service hours, help. Map results will still favor businesses close to the searcher.

How do football Saturdays affect local search near campus?

Searches for food, parking, bars and hotels rise around Ohio State home games. Updating hours, posting game day specials and keeping photos current helps your profile when demand is high.

Do I need schema markup on my Columbus website?

Schema is not required, but it helps. LocalBusiness schema tells search engines and AI tools your business type, address, hours and service areas in a clear format. It supports visibility but does not guarantee it.
