The search data for Riverside
- 100 searches a month in Riverside for SEO agency terms, on Ahrefs' US keyword data. Local figure.
- 32.8% of 317 US commercial keywords we measured returned a local pack — rising above 93% in legal services and home services. Indexed, 2026. National figure, not specific to Riverside.
- None of the 23 local-intent keywords in that sample returned an AI Overview, against 56.5% of the other 294 — so for a business competing on "near me" searches, the map pack still decides the click. Indexed, 2026. National figure, not specific to Riverside.
What we do in Riverside. Indexed is an SEO agency working with businesses in Riverside on organic search and AI search visibility. The work is usually some combination of technical fixes, content built around what people actually search for locally, Google Business Profile and review strategy for businesses competing in the map pack, and links earned rather than bought. We report on leads and revenue rather than rankings alone, and we publish our own research on how search results are changing.
