Local SEO

Local SEO services for small businesses.

Get into the map box, and stay there.

When someone searches “roofer near me” or “best med spa in Newtown”, Google shows three businesses on a map. We manage everything that decides which three: your profile, reviews, listings, website and content.

From $499/mo per location. Your free audit comes with an exact quote.

Only need your Google profile looked after? Google Business Profile management is its own plan.

What's included

Every lever Google uses to rank local businesses.

Profile optimization

A scored audit of your Google Business Profile with specific fixes: categories, services, hours, attributes, photos and description. Changes are approved by you, then written straight to Google.

Weekly Google posts

Offers, updates and project spotlights drafted on a schedule, with images. Mirrored to Facebook and Instagram if you like.

Reviews & replies

Review requests by email after each job, the same request to every customer. Every public review gets a thoughtful, drafted reply, and complaints get a quick, personal follow-up.

Citations & listings

A one-time build of about 300 hand-placed listings across data aggregators, niche and general directories. Live-link checks at delivery, 30 and 90 days, and every login handed to you.

Geo-grid map scans

See where you rank block by block across your service area, plus weekly tracking for your key searches in both the map pack and organic results.

AI answer visibility

We check whether AI assistants mention and recommend you, then fix what they can't find: schema, FAQs and llms.txt.

Local SEO questions

What owners ask us most.

What is the Google map pack?

It's the box of three businesses on a map that appears for “near me” and local searches. Most local calls and direction requests come from those three spots.

I serve several towns. Can I rank in all of them?

Yes, with the right mix of profile signals, city pages and reviews. Our geo-grid scans show exactly which towns you're strong in and where to push next.

Do I need to give you my Google login?

No. You add us as a manager on your profile, and you stay the owner. You can remove access at any time.

What are citations, and why do they matter?

Citations are listings of your business name, address and phone on directories. Consistent citations help Google trust your details. We build and check them, and hand every login to you.

Do you buy reviews or post fake ones?

Never. We help you ask real customers at the right moment and reply to every review professionally.
