  • As a digital marketing professional and search engine optimization (SEO) expert, I help local businesses improve their rankings on Google and other search engines to get found online to grow their businesses. One of the most important ranking factors on Google for local businesses are relevant local links to their website, like those obtained from a local chamber of commerce. I tell my clients that joining the Reston Chamber, setting up their business profile with a link to their website, is worth the entire annual membership fee from an SEO perspective. We encourage our clients to participate in the chamber's networking activities to maximize their investment in the Reston Chamber for apparent reasons.  

    The bottom line is that for any business that wants to improve their rankings on Google and other search engines should join the Reston chamber as part of an overall local SEO strategy.
