Local SEO

What decides who shows up on the map

Local SEO comes down to three things: proximity, relevance and reputation. Only two are within your control — we work those.

Google Business Profile

A complete profile with the right categories, hours, photos and posts.

Reviews

A simple process to ask for reviews — and to respond to every one, including the bad ones.

Location pages

One page per area you serve, with real content, not the same page with the town name swapped.

Directories & citations

Consistent name, address and phone everywhere. Inconsistency costs rankings.

Tracked calls

Knowing which calls came from Google is what tells you it's working.

Local search intent

“near me” and location searches behave differently — we treat them that way.
