Local SEO
Local SEO for service businesses.
Local SEO is compounding proof to Google that you're the real, active, trustworthy answer to “best [service] near me.” We run monthly retainers built around technical fixes, content, citations, and review generation — not a one-time audit and a promise.
Google Visibility
Six pillars, run every month.
Your Google Business Profile and search rankings are often the first thing a customer sees — before your homepage even loads. These are the levers that actually move that visibility.
Local SEO
Ranking for "[service] near me" and every city you actually serve — not just your home base.
- Local keyword research mapped to real search intent
- Location and service-area landing pages
- Citation building across top local directories
Google Business Profile
Often the first thing a customer sees, before your homepage even loads.
- Full claim, verification, and category audit
- Weekly posts, Q&A seeding, review-response management
- Photo refresh and duplicate-listing cleanup
On-Page SEO
The words and structure on the page itself — the part Google reads before it ever ranks you.
- Title tags, headings, and copy targeted to real search terms
- Internal linking between service and location pages
- Image alt text and page structure cleanup
Technical SEO
The infrastructure Google actually crawls — invisible to visitors, decisive for rank.
- Core Web Vitals and page-speed tuning
- Schema markup: LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, Breadcrumb
- Sitemap, robots, canonical URL hygiene
Content
Monthly content that targets the terms your customers actually type.
- Service and location pages built to rank, not just exist
- Blog / resource content mapped to buyer questions
- Internal linking passes every month
Monthly Reporting
Rankings and traffic reported in numbers you can read without a decoder ring.
- Ranking position tracking for target keywords
- Traffic, calls, and form-fill attribution
- A strategy call to plan next month's priorities
Every Month
What actually happens on a retainer.
Only the volume changes by tier — the rhythm is the same for every client.
Week 1
Audit & Prioritize
Review rankings, traffic, and GBP insights. Confirm this month's content and fix list.
Week 2
Execute
Publish and optimize content, complete technical fixes, update citations, push GBP posts.
Week 3
Build
Continue citation building, an internal linking pass, and a competitor tracking update.
Week 4
Report & Plan
Compile the monthly report, hold the strategy call, and lock next month's priorities.
What we do not guarantee
- A specific ranking position or "page 1, guaranteed" — no agency can honestly promise this. Google's algorithm isn't for sale.
- A fixed timeline for results — local SEO compounds over months, not days, and the starting point (age, competition, existing signals) varies by business.
- Rankings that hold regardless of what happens on your end — reviews, response time, and service quality still matter to both customers and Google.
- Results without ongoing work — SEO is a monthly discipline. Pausing the retainer eventually pauses the compounding, too.
Capability, Not Case Studies
SEO structure, demonstrated on real builds.
These concept projects aren't running client campaigns — there's no fabricated ranking or traffic data here. What you can see is the actual SEO architecture (schema, page structure, local-intent content) built into each one.
