Local SEO

Show up when your customers already search.

Most local searches end with a call to one of the top three results. We do the work that gets you there — keyword research, citations, Google Business Profile, content, and backlinks — month over month, until you are the obvious pick.

What's included

The whole stack. Not just tags and backlinks.

Local SEO is a stack — keyword research, on-page, citations, profile, backlinks, content. Pull one piece out and the whole thing underperforms. Foundation builds the floor. Ongoing keeps it compounding.

Keyword research & mapping

We pull the terms your customers actually search in your market — not a generic template list. Each keyword gets mapped to the page on your site that should rank for it.

Local citations & NAP

Your name, address, and phone number cleaned up and unified across every directory that matters. Inconsistent listings are one of the most common reasons a local business does not rank.

Google Business Profile

Full setup and optimization — categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A. The map pack drives more local calls than the blue links do most weeks.

Foundation backlinks

One to two high-authority backlinks at setup, then strategic monthly link building from real local and industry sources. No link farms, no penalty risk.

Content that ranks

Four articles a month written around keywords your customers search, structured to turn a reader into a phone call rather than just a pageview.

Plain-English reporting

A monthly report a human can read. Rankings, traffic, and what we shipped — no jargon dump, no vanity metrics, no forty-tab spreadsheet.

Pricing

Foundation, then compounding work.

Pay once for the floor, then a flat monthly for the work that builds rankings on top of it. No long-term contract on the ongoing side.

Starting at

  • Content strategy
  • Four articles per month
  • Profile posts and ongoing optimization

By the numbers

Slow at first. Then all at once.

SEO does not spike, it compounds. The work you pay for in month one keeps paying in month twelve — and the rankings get harder for competitors to take back the longer you stay consistent.

The process

From audit to compounding rankings.

01

Audit & keyword map

We start with your current rankings, your competitors, your technical health, and your Google Business Profile. Then we map the keywords worth ranking for, ordered by what would actually drive booked calls.

02

Foundation setup

Citations cleaned, profile optimized, on-page fixes shipped, foundation backlinks placed. This is the floor every local business needs before ongoing work pays off.

03

Content & backlinks

Every month: four articles, profile posts, strategic backlinks, and ongoing on-page tuning. The compounding work that moves rankings slowly, then all at once.

04

Track & refine

We watch what is ranking, what is converting, and what is stuck. We double down on the keywords gaining traction and quietly drop the ones that will not move.

Questions about SEO

Honest answers about ranking.

The questions every owner asks before paying for SEO — answered the way we would answer them on a call.

How long until I actually see results?

Foundation work — citations, profile optimization, on-page fixes — usually shows up in the local map pack within four to eight weeks. Real organic gains on competitive keywords take three to six months. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either guessing or about to get your site penalized. SEO compounds: the work you pay for in month one is still paying in month twelve.

What is the difference between SEO Foundation and ongoing SEO?

Foundation is the one-time $600 setup: keyword research, citations with unified listings, one to two high-authority backlinks, Google Business Profile setup, and a press release where applicable. It is the floor. Ongoing at $300/mo is what builds rankings on top of that floor — four articles a month, profile posts, strategic backlinks, and continuous optimization. Foundation is one-and-done. Ongoing is how you actually win.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No, and you should walk away from anyone who does. Google owns the algorithm and changes it constantly. What we guarantee is the work: keyword research that targets terms your customers search, technical fixes that remove crawl barriers, and content that earns links. The rankings are the output of the work, not a promise.

I already have someone doing SEO — should I switch?

Depends. If you get a monthly report you understand and your rankings are climbing for terms that matter, stay. If you are getting jargon-heavy reports, no clarity on what shipped, or rankings for words nobody would ever pay you for, that is a problem. Send us your last report and we will tell you straight whether it is worth keeping.

Why does my Google Business Profile keep losing visibility?

Three usual suspects: inconsistent listings across the web (your address differs by one character between directories), no recent posts or photos (Google reads dormancy as decline), or competitors actively building reviews while yours sit still. Foundation fixes the first two. Ongoing fixes the third, and Reputation Management hardens the review side.
