What local SEO is
Local SEO is how you show up when people nearby search for your service, like "plumber near me" or "roof repair in [your town]." Google shows those searches in two places:
- The map pack: the three businesses shown with a map at the top. Your Google Business Profile, your reviews and your distance from the searcher decide who gets these spots.
- The regular results: the website links underneath. Your website's pages, wording, speed and the sites that link to you decide these.
Local SEO works on both, so you can show up in the map and in the results below it.
What our local SEO service includes
- Google Business Profile setup and optimization: the right categories, services, service area, hours, photos and description, so you can compete for the map pack.
- On-page SEO: every page on your website written and structured around the exact words your local customers search.
- Local citations: your business listed with the same name, address and phone across the directories Google trusts.
- Technical SEO check: speed, mobile layout, broken links and the behind-the-scenes code Google reads.
- A website: both plans include one, so your SEO has a solid site to work from.
- Monthly reports in plain English: where you rank, what changed, and what we're doing next.
How it works
- Free audit and strategy call. We review your current website, Google listing and competitors, and show you what's missing.
- Website design and build. A site built around your services, usually live in about two weeks.
- SEO setup. On-page optimization, your Google Business Profile and your local listings.
- Launch. Your site goes live and gets submitted to Google.
- Ongoing reporting. A monthly update so you always know what's working.

| Local Presence | $299/mo | None | Custom website up to 10 pages, hosting and maintenance, Google Business Profile setup and monthly optimization, local SEO, Search Console setup, contact and estimate forms, missed-call text-back, automated inquiry replies and review requests, lead notifications and monthly reporting |

How long local SEO takes
Most businesses see movement within 4 to 8 weeks, with stronger results building over 3 to 6 months. How fast depends on your market: a small town with a few competitors moves faster than a big city in a crowded trade. We report progress every month, so you're never guessing. Nobody can honestly guarantee a #1 ranking, and we won't.
