Most local buying starts with a search and ends within a few miles. If a competitor shows up in the map results and you do not, that decision is made before your site ever gets a look.
No lock-in contracts, and no monthly report full of vanity numbers
The three map results take most of the clicks for local searches. Ranking tenth on page one is closer to invisible than it sounds.
A single page listing every place you serve gives search engines nothing specific to rank for any of them.
An old address or a different phone number across directories undermines the consistency local ranking depends on.
Unglamorous, methodical work. It is also what actually moves local rankings.
Categories, services, hours, photos and posts set up and maintained properly. It is the single highest-leverage free tool most businesses leave half configured.
A real page for each service and each town you serve, with content specific enough to rank rather than the same paragraph with the name swapped.
Structured data, titles and headings that tell search engines exactly what you do and where, in the format they read.
Consistent listings across the directories that matter, and a simple routine for asking customers for reviews without it feeling awkward.
Current rankings, profile, listings and site. You get the findings in plain English, including anything already working that we should leave alone.
Profile, listings and the technical basics. This is usually where the fastest movement comes from.
Service and location pages written to be genuinely useful, because thin pages built purely for search have stopped working.
Local ranking is not a one-off. Ongoing profile activity, content and review flow, reported in numbers that mean something.
Profile and listing fixes can show within weeks. Ranking for competitive service terms takes months. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either lucky or lying.
No, and be careful with anyone who does. Nobody controls Google. What I can commit to is doing the work that reliably moves the needle and showing you what changed.
Often more so. A single location competing in one area is exactly where local SEO pays, because the field is smaller and the intent is high.
No. There is no lock-in. If it is not working for you, you can stop.
I will look at your profile, your listings and your site, and tell you what is holding you back. Free, and yours whether or not you hire me.
