Google Business Profile
The map pack is where local searches get decided. Categories, services, hours, photos, questions, and a review flow that keeps new reviews arriving every month instead of in one suspicious burst.
Service · Local SEO
Be the business they find, not the one they scroll past.
Someone two blocks away is searching for what you sell right now. They will call one of the top three results in the map and stop looking. Local SEO is the work of being one of those three, month after month.
The work
Six things that decide local rankings
A page per service, per intent
Someone searching "emergency plumber near me" and someone searching "how much does repiping cost" are at different distances from buying. Both need a page, and they are not the same page.
Neighborhood pages that say something
A page for Santa Monica that only swaps the city name into a template is thin content and gets treated as such. If we build a location page, it says something true about that area's market.
Reviews and reputation
Volume, recency and response. We build the ask into the job flow so it does not depend on anyone remembering.
Technical foundation
Crawlability, speed, structured data, internal links. Unglamorous, and the reason competent content stops underperforming.
Demonstrated expertise
Named people with real credentials, content that shows the work rather than describing it, and clear ownership. Anonymous pages underperform, consistently.
Reporting
What lands in your inbox every month
Calls and enquiries from organic search and from your Google Business Profile, split by service. Which pages produced them. What it cost per acquired customer compared with paid channels.
Rankings appear too, but as a diagnostic — not as the headline. A number one position for a term nobody searches is not a result, and we will not present it as one.
Questions
Straight answers
- How long before SEO produces customers?
- Local map-pack movement often shows within 4 to 8 weeks. Competitive commercial terms usually take 4 to 6 months of consistent work, longer in the densest metros. Anyone promising page one in 30 days is selling something else.
- Do you guarantee rankings?
- No. Nobody controls Google's ranking systems, and a guarantee is a signal that the agency plans to rank you for terms nobody searches. We commit to the work and report on customers won from organic search.
- Can you work alongside our current website?
- Usually yes. If the platform makes basic technical work impossible, we will tell you that up front rather than bill you monthly to work around it.
- What happens to the work if we stop?
- The pages, the profile and the analytics are yours. Rankings you have earned do not disappear when the retainer ends, though they decay without maintenance in a competitive market.
