What is local SEO?
Local SEO is the work that helps a business show up when people nearby search for what it offers. It focuses on your Google Business Profile, local pages on your website, consistent listings, and reviews.
How do I get into the Google map pack?
Google ranks map results by relevance, distance and prominence. A complete, active Google Business Profile, local pages on your site, consistent listings and steady reviews all help, and that's the core of our local SEO work.
How much does local SEO cost?
Local SEO is included in all of our SEO plans, which start at $1,100 a month plus a one-time $750 setup. The plan you need depends on how many keywords and towns you want to target.
Can I rank in a town where I don't have an office?
Often, yes. Local service area pages help you rank in nearby towns you serve. The map pack leans on your business address, so organic results are usually where those towns show up first.
Will you work with my competitors too?
No. We don't market competing businesses for the same services in the same area at the same time.
