Local SEO

What does local SEO include?

Local SEO is the work that gets a business into the map pack, the three listings Google shows on a map for searches with local intent, and keeps it there. It has five parts: the Google Business Profile itself (categories, services, photos, reviews), the ranking work for specific searches, the directory listings that confirm the business details, the service-area setup for businesses that travel to customers, and recovery when Google suspends the profile.

Order of work

How the services fit together

They are not add-ons sold separately. The profile is the foundation; the rest raises it and protects it. The usual order depends on the situation the audit finds.

  • Profile exists, never optimized: profile optimization → Maps ranking → citation cleanup if the audit finds mismatches.
  • Profile suspended: reinstatement first; nothing else counts until the profile is back.
  • Moved, rebranded or changed phone: citation cleanup → profile optimization → Maps ranking.
  • Mobile business, no storefront: service-area setup → profile optimization → area pages on the website.
  • Already ranking, want more metros: service areas and area pages → Maps ranking per metro.

Our longest relationships are with pallet rack and warehouse equipment dealers, and the same method runs for a jeweler and a bar. What they share: customers who search with a place name and call from the results.

  • Industrial suppliers and dealers delivering across a region from one yard. Pallet rack page.
  • Trades that travel to the customer: roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping. Roofing page.
  • Storefronts where the address is visited: jewelers, restaurants and bars.

The audit

What the audit checks before naming a service

For your main search, from your city, we record the three profiles in the map pack and compare yours on each of these. The service that fits is whichever gap is largest.

  • Is the profile live? Suspended or unverified means reinstatement first, nothing else counts yet.
  • Do the details agree across the web? Name, address and phone on the website and the main directories. Mismatches mean citation cleanup.
  • Is the profile complete? Categories, services, photos, reviews and replies against the three winners. Gaps mean profile optimization.
  • Is the model right for how you work? Storefront or service-area, and the towns declared. Wrong model means service-area setup.
  • Where does it rank, and for what? Positions per target search from the target city. Eligible but not in the pack means Maps ranking.
2 daysto a written answerThe audit names the service, the plan and the first three fixes in priority order. No call is needed to get it.

Which service, by what the audit finds

  • Suspended → reinstatement, $399 one time
  • Details disagree → citation cleanup, $349 one time (included in Map Pack and Industrial)
  • Incomplete profile → Profile plan, $249 a month
  • Wrong model or too few towns → service-area setup, inside Map Pack
  • Eligible, not in the pack → Map Pack, $499 a month; several metros → Industrial, $899

Questions about the services

What is the difference between local SEO and Google Business Profile optimization?

Profile optimization is one part of local SEO: the work done inside the Google Business Profile itself. Local SEO also covers the website pages that support the profile, the directory listings that confirm your details, reviews, and the links that build prominence. The profile decides whether you appear in the map pack; the rest decides how high and for how many searches.

Which service should I start with?

Almost always profile optimization, because the categories, services and details inside the profile are the largest ranking factors and the fastest to fix. The free audit tells you if suspension, citations or service areas are the bigger problem in your case.

Do you work with businesses outside the United States?

Our work is for US businesses. Every client named on this site is a US company.

How do you report?

Monthly, with the numbers Google records for the profile — calls, direction requests, website clicks, searches that showed the profile — and the map-pack positions for the searches we agreed to target.

Are there contracts?

Month to month. Plans are on the pricing page; the audit tells you which applies before you pay anything.
