Phase 1: Local Audit & Competitor Analysis

We begin with comprehensive assessment of your current local search presence, analyzing your Google My Business profile, local citations, on-page optimization, and review profiles. We conduct detailed competitor analysis to identify ranking opportunities and gaps in your current strategy. This audit reveals exactly what's preventing you from ranking higher in local search.

Complete GMB setup and optimization forms the foundation of local SEO success. We optimize every element: business categories, service areas, attributes, photos, videos, business description, services, products, posts, and Q&A. We ensure your profile sends perfect signals to Google about what you do and where you operate.

Phase 3: Citation Building & NAP Consistency

We establish consistent business listings across 100+ directories, platforms, and industry-specific sites. Perfect NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency is critical for local rankings—we audit and correct any inconsistencies, remove duplicates, and build high-quality citations that strengthen your local authority.

Phase 4: On-Page Optimization & Schema

Technical on-page optimization ensures your website communicates location relevance to Google. We create location-specific landing pages, optimize for local keywords, implement NAP on site, and add comprehensive schema markup.

  • 76% of people who search on their smartphone for something nearby visit a business within 24 hours
  • 28% of those searches result in a purchase

Frequently Asked Questions About Local SEO

Initial improvements typically appear within 2-4 weeks as we optimize your Google My Business profile and citations. Significant ranking improvements generally occur within 3-6 months as Google validates your local authority. However, highly competitive markets may require 6-12 months to reach top 3 local pack rankings. We provide monthly reporting showing progress in rankings, visibility, calls, and directions.
The local pack (also called "map pack" or "3-pack") is the box of 3 business listings that appears at the top of local search results, above organic results. It includes a map and shows business name, rating, address, and phone number. The local pack receives 93% of clicks for local searches, making it the most valuable real estate in local search. Ranking in the top 3 dramatically increases calls, directions, and customers.
Reviews are one of the top 3 ranking factors for local SEO. Google considers review quantity, review velocity (how often you get new reviews), review diversity (across multiple platforms), rating quality, and review content. Businesses with more positive reviews rank higher and have better click-through rates. We implement systematic review generation strategies that increase both quantity and quality while maintaining compliance with platform policies.
Yes, each physical location requires its own Google My Business profile. However, service area businesses without physical locations can operate with a single profile covering multiple service areas. Multi-location businesses need careful management to maintain NAP consistency, individual optimization for each location, and coordinated review generation. We specialize in multi-location local SEO strategies that scale across franchises and chains.
Local citations are online mentions of your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) on other websites, directories, and platforms. Citations build local authority and help Google verify your business information. Inconsistent NAP across citations (different phone numbers, address variations, etc.) confuses Google and hurts rankings. We build 100+ high-quality citations with perfect consistency and monitor for any discrepancies.
Voice search is predominantly local—over 50% of voice searches are looking for local information. Voice queries are longer, more conversational, and question-based ("Where's the best Italian restaurant near me?"). We optimize for voice by targeting natural language patterns, creating question-based content, optimizing for featured snippets, and ensuring your GMB profile is complete. Voice search optimization is now essential for local visibility.
Absolutely. Service area businesses (plumbers, electricians, contractors, etc.) can still appear in local search results. Google allows service area businesses to hide their address on Google My Business while still specifying service areas. We optimize for service area keywords, create location-specific landing pages, and build citations appropriate for service businesses. The strategy differs from location-based businesses but is equally effective.
We track multiple metrics including: local pack rankings for target keywords, Google My Business insights (searches, views, calls, directions, website clicks), organic local search rankings, citation growth, review quantity and ratings, website traffic from local search, phone call volume, and conversion rates. Monthly reports provide clear visibility into ROI with emphasis on business outcomes—not just rankings. Most clients see 3-5x increase in local calls within 6 months.
