What's on the plate

Everything Google needs to trust you.

  • Keyword and competitor research for every service and city
  • On-page optimization: titles, headings, internal links and content gaps
  • Technical fixes: speed, indexing, crawl errors and mobile issues
  • LocalBusiness, Service and FAQ schema markup
  • Google Business Profile alignment with your website
  • Map Pack and organic rank tracking by zip code
  • Monthly plain-English report with calls and leads

Local SEO is how your business shows up when someone nearby searches for what you do. That means two places: the Map Pack, the three listings with the map at the top of Google, and the regular organic results under it.

Google decides both with three signals: relevance (does your site and profile clearly match the search), distance (how close you are to the searcher) and prominence (reviews, links and mentions that prove you are real and trusted). We cannot move your building, so we go hard on the other two.

What you will see

Rank tracking from real points across your service area, so you can see where you win and where you are invisible. Most clients see Map Pack movement within the first two to three months, with organic rankings compounding after that.

Questions from the table

Ask the chef.

Still chewing on it? Ask Chris directly.

How long does local SEO take?

Map Pack movement often shows in 60 to 90 days. Organic rankings for competitive terms usually take three to six months and keep compounding after that.

Do I need a physical address?

No. Service area businesses that travel to customers can rank too. We set up your Google Business Profile and site to match how you actually serve people.

Will you change my website?

Only where it helps. Most work is under the hood: titles, structure, schema, speed and new pages. If your site needs a rebuild, we will tell you and quote it separately.
