Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Show up in Google's map results when nearby customers need you. Google Business Profile, reviews, listings and local SEO, done for you every month.
Why does the shop down the road show up on Google and you don't?
Usually it's not because they're better. It's because their Google Business Profile is complete, they get more reviews, their name and phone match everywhere, and their website clearly says what they do and where.
When someone types "auto repair near me" or "emergency vet," Google shows a map with three businesses before anything else. Many local calls start right there. If you're not in those three, a lot of customers never see you.
Local SEO is how we get you there. It's one piece of our done-for-you monthly marketing package, and you can also get it on its own.
Getting recommended by ChatGPT and other AI assistants is a related job. That's our AI search visibility service, and it builds on the work here.
What we do
Google Business Profile
The right categories, every service listed, accurate hours and service area, real photos, regular posts, and quick replies to reviews and questions. For most local businesses this is the most important page you have, and it isn't on your website.
Reviews
Review requests by text and email after every job, so fresh reviews keep coming in. We reply to every review, good or bad, in your voice. We never buy or fake reviews.
Listings across the web
Your name, address and phone made consistent on Google, Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp, Facebook and the directories that matter in your industry. Mismatches confuse Google and cost you rankings.
Service and area pages
Your website gets a clear page for each service and each town you cover, answering what customers want to know before they call: what you do, where, when you're open and what to expect.
Fixing what's broken
Slow pages, duplicate pages, broken links, missing titles. We fix the technical problems that hold a site back, so the rest of the work counts.
Under the hood: crawl and index checks, page speed, structured data and redirects, handled by us.
Measured in calls
Each month we report calls, direction requests, website visits and leads from Google, tied to the call and lead tracking we set up. Not a screenshot of rankings.
Who is this for?
- Local service businesses that don't show up in the map results for their own town
- Owners with fewer reviews than the competition, even though their customers are happy
- Businesses that moved, rebranded or changed phone numbers and have a mess of old listings
- Anyone paying for ads who wants more calls from Google without paying per click
What we don't do
We don't buy links, fake reviews or sell ranking screenshots. We don't promise the top spot. If your site needs a rebuild instead of fixes, we'll tell you before you spend money.
How we price
It's included in our full monthly package, or available on its own. Pricing depends on your market and scope, and your plan comes with a fixed monthly price. Month to month, no lock-in.
