SEO for Local Businesses
Search strategy built for brick-and-mortar and service businesses.
About this service
Most local businesses live or die by the Google Business Profile map pack and 'near me' searches. We focus on the fundamentals that move that needle fastest: a fully optimized Google Business Profile, consistent citations across the directories Google trusts, location-specific content, and a review-generation process — built for businesses that need results without an enterprise SEO budget.
What's typically included
- Google Business Profile setup and ongoing optimization to win map-pack visibility
- Citation building and consistency across major directories, since NAP accuracy matters more than people think
- Location-specific landing pages for businesses serving more than one area
- Review generation and management, since ratings and review volume directly affect map-pack ranking
- Right-sized technical and on-page SEO — no bloated retainer, just the work that moves a local business's numbers
