    Is this right for your business?

    A good fit if
    • You serve customers in a defined area
    • You're not in the top three on Google Maps for your main service
    • You have fewer reviews than nearby competitors
    Probably not yet if
    • You sell only online, nationwide
    • You don't want to be contacted by local customers
    Worked example

    A company outside the Map Pack for its main search adds 20 reviews in three months and completes its profile. Moving into the top three typically brings more calls from people ready to book. Results vary by market and are not guaranteed.

    What is local SEO?

    Local SEO helps your business show up when people nearby search for what you do, especially in the Google Map Pack (the map and three businesses at the top of local results) and near-me searches.

    What is the Google Map Pack?

    The map with three businesses that Google shows for local searches such as 'plumber near me'. It sits above the regular results, which is why it gets so many clicks.

    How much does local SEO cost?

    US$199 (CA$249) one-time setup, then US$199 (CA$249) a month.

    Do I need a physical address to rank locally?

    You need a real address to verify a Google Business Profile, but service-area businesses can hide it and list the areas they serve. We never create fake addresses: it breaks Google's rules and gets profiles suspended.

    Do you buy or write fake reviews?

    Never. We set up an easy way to ask real customers for honest reviews and help you reply to them.

    How long does local SEO take?

    Profile fixes can show results in weeks. Steady review growth and listings usually take 2 to 4 months to move rankings in competitive areas.
