We optimize your Google Business Profile, build consistent listings, add local schema to your site, and target the exact "service + city" searches your customers actually type, included with every website plan starting at $799 a month.
When someone searches "emergency plumber near me" or "best salon in [town]," the three businesses in Google's map pack get the overwhelming majority of the calls. Local SEO is the work that gets you into that pack: an optimized Google Business Profile, consistent name-address-phone across the web, real local keywords on your pages, and the schema markup that tells Google exactly where and who you serve.
Customers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews "who's a good plumber near me?", and those tools pull from structured, clearly-written pages. Every site we build ships with clean schema, an llms.txt file, and plain-English pages that AI assistants can quote directly. That means you show up in the new front door of local search, not just the old one.
Most customer systems file paid search, Local Services, the maps listing and organic under one heading: Google. So the ad budget gets judged on a number that is mostly measuring your reputation.
Paid search, Local Services, the maps pack and organic are separated at the point of capture, so each one can be judged on what it actually returned.
A position on a page is interesting. Which searches turned into booked work is the number worth having.
When the sources are separated you can see whether the organic work is carrying the paid work, or the other way round.
This is what the collection layer does, and what the audit measures once it is running.
Google Business Profile improvements can show within a few weeks; broader ranking gains build over 23 months. Anyone promising overnight #1 rankings is not being honest.
Basic local SEO and Google Business Profile setup are included with every website plan. Deeper ongoing local SEO is available from $99/month.
No, and no honest provider can, Google's ranking is not for sale. We do the proven on-page and profile work that gives you the best real chance at the map pack.
We structure your site so they can. We add schema, an llms.txt file, and clearly-written pages that AI search tools can read and cite.
No logins and no access to your accounts. Send your customer list and your quotes, and we will tell you the three biggest things in it at no charge. If the numbers are not worth anything, we stop there.
