Local SEO & Google Business Profile

Show up in Google Maps when nearby customers search.

5.0 on Google100+ websites launchedSince 2009

When someone nearby searches for what you do, Google shows a map and a short list of local businesses before any regular results. For a local business, that list is often where the call comes from.

Your Google Business Profile is the heart of it: your hours, photos, reviews and the buttons people tap to call you or get directions. We set it up properly, keep it current and help you earn the reviews that make customers choose you.

Then we back it up with the rest of local SEO: consistent business details across the web, and pages on your website for each town and service you want to rank for.

Profile Setup & Optimization

We claim or set up your Google Business Profile and fill in every detail: the right categories, services, products, description, service areas, hours and contact information, plus photos that show your work.

Google uses these details to decide when to show you, and customers use them to decide whether to call.

Regular Updates & Posts

Holiday hours, new services, seasonal offers and announcements, kept up to date so customers never show up to a closed door or call about something you no longer offer.

Fresh photos and posts also show Google, and customers, that your business is active.

Review Management

We monitor your reviews and help you respond to every one, thanking happy customers and answering unhappy ones calmly and professionally.

We also make it easy for happy customers to leave a review, always within Google’s rules. We never use fake or paid reviews, and we flag reviews that break Google’s policies for removal.

Consistent Business Details

Your business name, address and phone number should match everywhere they appear: directories, social profiles, maps apps and your own website. Mismatched details confuse customers and weaken your local rankings.

We find and fix the inconsistencies, and list your business in the directories that matter for your industry and area.

Local Pages on Your Website

Your profile and your website work together. Pages for the towns you serve and the services you offer help Google connect your business to local searches.

Each page is written for its own town or service, with unique, useful content, so the pages help each other instead of competing.

Insights & Reporting

We track how customers find and use your profile: how often it’s seen, and how many people call, ask for directions or visit your website from it.

You get clear reports with what we did, what changed and what we recommend next, in plain language.

What Google looks at for local results

Google says local results are based mainly on three things. Here’s what each one means, and what we do about it.

  1. Relevance

    How well your profile matches what someone searched for.

    We choose the right categories, list every service you offer and write a description that uses the words your customers actually search.

  2. Distance

    How far your business is from the person searching, or from the area they named.

    You can’t move your business, but you can be clear about where you work. We set your service areas correctly and build pages for the towns you serve.

  3. Prominence

    How well known and trusted your business is, online and in your community.

    Reviews, consistent business details across the web, links and your website’s own strength all add up. We work on each of them, month after month.

When someone nearby searches, be the business they call.

We keep your profile complete, your reviews coming in and your website backing it up.

Questions? Answered.

Showing up in Google Maps without a storefront, bad reviews, account access and what local SEO adds to regular SEO.

What’s the difference between SEO and local SEO?

Local SEO focuses on showing up for nearby customers, in Google Maps and the local results, through your Google Business Profile, reviews and local pages. SEO more broadly covers your website’s visibility in all search results. Most local businesses benefit from both, and they work best together.

Do I need a storefront to show up in Google Maps?

No. If you travel to your customers, like many contractors and home services do, Google lets you set up a service-area business and hide your street address. We set your service areas so you show up across the towns you serve.

Can you remove bad reviews?

Nobody can remove a genuine review just because it’s negative. What we can do is help you respond professionally, which future customers notice, and flag reviews that break Google’s policies, such as spam or reviews from people who were never customers.

Do I have to give you my Google password?

No. You add us as a manager on your Google Business Profile, and you stay the owner. You can see everything we do and remove our access at any time.

Is a Google Business Profile free?

Yes, the profile itself is free from Google. What we provide is the work of setting it up properly, keeping it active and growing your reviews and local visibility over time.
