SARASOTA, FL – July 25, 2025 – Centurion Web Designs has released a new blog article urging Sarasota and Bradenton businesses to install SSL certificates or risk losing local search visibility and consumer trust. Titled “SSL Certificates SEO: Why Sarasota Businesses Must Prioritize Security,” the article explores the deep ties between HTTPS encryption and local SEO rankings.The blog emphasizes that Google now treats SSL as a core ranking factor, especially in competitive service industries like legal, HVAC, and medical.
