What do local SEO services include?
The work that gets a local business found on Google Maps and in local searches: your Google Business Profile kept accurate and posted to every week, listings cleaned up so your name, address and phone match everywhere, new citations, a page for each place you serve, and your Maps position tracked every week. On our plans, the profile, the listings cleanup and the tracking are on every plan, and citations and location pages start on Growth.
How much should I pay for local SEO?
Our plans run from $997 to $4,997 a month, and every one of them includes the local work: your Google Business Profile, listings cleanup and Maps tracking. Growth adds citations and pages for the places you serve, which is where most local businesses should start. Setup fees are waived right now, and the first seven days are free.
Do I need a local SEO company in my own town?
No. Local SEO is done online: the profile, the listings, the citations and the pages all live on the internet, not on your street. What matters is that the company knows your market and puts the work in writing. We work with businesses nationwide, and every page we write for your area is written for that place.
What is the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?
Regular SEO gets your website into the web results. Local SEO gets your business into the map, the short list of businesses Google shows above those results for a nearby search, and makes sure your details agree everywhere Google checks them. A local business needs both, which is why every one of our plans includes both.
Can you get my business into the top three on Google Maps?
Nobody honest can promise a map position. Google ranks local results on relevance, distance and prominence, and distance is set by where the searcher is standing. What we promise is the work that improves the other two, delivered and reported every month, with your Maps position tracked every week so you can see it move.
Does local SEO work for a business with no storefront?
Yes. A plumber, a roofer or a cleaner who goes to the customer can hide the street address on the Google Business Profile and list the service areas instead. We set that up correctly, then write pages for the cities and areas you actually cover.
How long does local SEO take to work?
Fixes to the profile and the listings go in during the first weeks. Expect movement in 60 to 90 days on most sites. Nobody honest will guarantee a position or a date. What we guarantee is the work, delivered and reported every month.
What is the best local SEO company for a small business?
The one that puts the monthly work in writing, item by item, tracks your Maps position where you can see it, and lets you leave any month. Ask every company you talk to which of the six items on this page they do, and on which plan. Then compare the answers side by side, ours included.
