Your Google Business Profile is the single most important asset in local SEO. It is what appears in Google Maps and the local 3-pack when someone searches for your service nearby, and it often decides who gets the call before a customer ever visits a website. We fully optimize and actively manage your profile so you show up, stand out, and convert.
What our Google Business Profile management covers:
- Complete profile audit, claiming, and verification
- Primary and secondary category selection for maximum reach
- Services, attributes, hours, and business description optimization
- Geo-tagged photos, cover images, and product listings
- Weekly Google Posts (offers, updates, events)
- Questions and answers seeding and monitoring
- Google Maps rank tracking by keyword and location
Profile optimization is included in every Local SEO plan. The volume of posts, review campaigns, and the number of locations managed scales with your tier.
Search engines trust businesses whose details are consistent everywhere they appear online. When your name, address, and phone number (NAP) match across every directory, Google has more confidence in your legitimacy and ranks you higher in local results. Inconsistent or duplicate listings do the opposite, quietly suppressing your visibility.
What our citation and NAP management covers:
- Full NAP consistency audit across the web
- Correction of inaccurate and duplicate listings
- Verified citations on Google, Yelp, Bing Places, and Apple Maps
- Niche and industry-specific directory submissions
- Data aggregator distribution for broad coverage
- Local business schema markup on your website
- Ongoing citation monitoring and cleanup
Citation volume scales by tier: 25 citations on Neighborhood, 75 on Citywide, and 200+ across all locations on Multi-Location.
Reviews are both a ranking factor and a conversion engine in local search. Google weighs review quantity, rating, recency, and your responses when deciding who ranks in the map pack, and customers read those same reviews before choosing who to call. We run an ethical, white-hat review program that turns satisfied customers into a steady stream of fresh 5-star reviews.
What our reviews and reputation management covers:
- Automated review request campaigns by email and SMS
- Review funnels that route happy customers to public profiles
- Professional review responses within 24 hours
- Negative review monitoring and recovery workflows
- Review monitoring across Google, Yelp, and industry sites
- Reputation reporting with sentiment trends
- Review schema for star ratings in search results
Active review acquisition campaigns are included from the Citywide tier upward, with a centralized reputation dashboard for Multi-Location brands.
Technical SEO is the website foundation your local rankings depend on. A fast, crawlable, mobile-friendly site with correct local business schema helps Google connect your web presence to your Google Business Profile and trust your location data. We resolve crawl errors, accelerate Core Web Vitals, and configure LocalBusiness structured data so your map pack and organic rankings reinforce each other.
What is included in our technical SEO scope:
- Crawlability and indexation diagnostics
- Core Web Vitals and page speed optimization
- XML sitemap and robots.txt configuration
- Schema markup (Organization, Article, FAQ, Product, BreadcrumbList)
- JavaScript SEO and server-side rendering audits
- HTTPS, canonical tags, and hreflang correctness
- Mobile usability and accessibility checks
Technical SEO is included in every plan. The depth of coverage scales with your engagement tier, with enterprise-level server log analysis and international SEO reserved for the Dominate plan.
On-page SEO is how your location and service-area pages signal local relevance to Google. We optimize titles, headers, and content around "[service] near [city]" and "near me" intent, build dedicated service-area and location pages, and structure each page to rank locally and convert nearby searchers into calls and visits.
What is included in our on-page SEO scope:
- Keyword research mapped to revenue-generating pages
- Title tag, meta description, and H1 to H3 optimization
- SERP-driven content briefs and outlines
- Search intent matching and entity coverage
- Internal linking strategy and topic cluster architecture
- AEO formatting for featured snippets and AI citations
- Image alt text, structured data, and on-page schema
Our Foundation plan ships on-page SEO for 15 priority pages. Accelerate covers up to 50 pages. Dominate supports unlimited pages plus AI search optimization for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
Off-page SEO builds the external authority and local signals that lift you in both the map pack and organic results. Local backlinks from community sites, chambers of commerce, and local press, combined with consistent citations and brand mentions, compound over time to give your business the local prominence Google rewards with top rankings.
What is included in our off-page SEO scope:
- Manual outreach for authority backlinks (DR 20+ to DR 60+)
- Digital PR campaigns and earned media placements
- Brand mention monitoring and reinforcement
- Wikipedia, Wikidata, and knowledge graph presence
- Guest post outreach and thought leadership placements
- Toxic backlink audit and disavow management
- Competitor link gap analysis
Foundation includes 15 monthly backlinks from DR 20+ sites. Accelerate scales to 20 backlinks from DR 40+ domains. Dominate delivers 40 backlinks per month with manual outreach plus digital PR campaigns for earned media coverage.

FAQs
Local SEO pricing
questions, answered
Local SEO often moves faster than traditional SEO. Most clients see Google Business Profile improvements and early map pack movement within 30 to 60 days, because GBP optimization, citation fixes, and review campaigns produce signals Google can act on quickly. Competitive city-wide rankings and sustained call volume typically build over 3 to 6 months. We share a realistic, data-backed forecast during your free local visibility audit, before you commit to any plan.
The map pack (also called the local 3-pack) is the block of three business listings with a map that appears at the top of Google for local searches like "plumber near me" or "dentist in [city]". It sits above the regular organic results and captures the majority of clicks and calls for local intent searches. Ranking in the map pack is the single highest-impact outcome of local SEO, which is why our plans focus heavily on Google Business Profile optimization, citations, and reviews, the three biggest drivers of map pack visibility.
No. Service-area businesses that travel to customers, such as plumbers, electricians, cleaners, and contractors, benefit enormously from local SEO. Google lets you configure a service-area business profile that hides your address while still ranking you for the cities and zip codes you serve. We optimize service-area settings, build location and service-area pages, and target "[service] near [city]" keywords so you appear for nearby searches even without a storefront.
Reviews are one of the strongest local ranking factors and a major conversion driver. Google weighs your review quantity, average rating, recency, and how you respond when ranking the map pack, and customers read those reviews before deciding who to call. Our Citywide and Multi-Location plans include ethical, white-hat review acquisition campaigns by email and SMS, plus professional review responses within 24 hours. We never buy or fake reviews, which violates Google's policies and risks your profile.
NAP stands for Name, Address, and Phone number. When these details are identical everywhere your business appears online, from Google and Yelp to Apple Maps and industry directories, Google has more confidence that your business is legitimate and ranks you higher locally. Inconsistent, outdated, or duplicate listings send mixed signals that quietly suppress your visibility. Every plan includes a full NAP audit, correction of inaccurate listings, and verified citations, with volume scaling from 25 citations on Neighborhood to 200+ on Multi-Location.
Yes. Every plan is month-to-month, and you can move between tiers at any monthly cycle with no penalty. Many single-location businesses start on Neighborhood to win their immediate area, then upgrade to Citywide as they expand across the city or add review and content campaigns. Growing brands move to Multi-Location as they open new sites. We recommend the right tier based on your service area and competition during your free local visibility audit.
