Local SEO · Nationwide

How I get you found on Google.

When someone nearby searches for what you do, there are only a few places you can show up — and a handful of things that decide whether it's you or the shop down the road. Here's exactly what those are, and what I do about each one.

Where you can show up

One search. Three places to win.

This is what a customer sees when they pull out a phone and search. The goal is simple: put your business in the map at the top and in the results below it.

What actually moves the needle

Three areas I work on.

Google’s local results depend mainly on relevance, distance and prominence. I can’t change where a searcher is or guarantee a position. These are the areas I can improve, with priorities based on your business and competition.

01

The map pack & your Google Business Profile

Local searches can show a map and a short list of nearby businesses. Accurate services, hours and contact details help customers decide whether to get in touch.

What I do: You’ll claim and verify the profile yourself — Google sends a code to the business, so that part has to come from you. After that I take it over: the right categories, every service, your hours and photos, updates published, and what customers see kept accurate and current.

02

Reviews and the trust signals behind them

The star rating in that map pack, and the quieter fact that your name, address and phone number match everywhere Google finds them. Google ranks businesses it trusts, and customers click the ones with reviews.

What I do: I set up a steady ask that reaches customers at the right moment — a few a month beats a burst — and I reply to every review that comes in, good or bad. I also clean up wrong and duplicate listings so your information never contradicts itself.

03

Pages built around what people actually search

The organic results below the map. Focused pages can answer specific service questions more clearly than a single catch-all page. Location pages should offer useful local detail, not just a changed town name.

What I do: I research the terms people in your market really type, then sharpen the pages you already have or build new ones where there’s a distinct service to explain or local detail worth writing down.

What the monthly fee buys

What I actually do each month.

Not a mystery retainer. Here's the work that happens for your $250, every month, whether or not you have to ask.

01

Google Business Profile upkeep

Weekly posts, fresh photos, questions answered, hours and services kept current — so customers can find accurate information about your business.

02

Service and location pages

I build and sharpen pages around the searches that actually bring work, and add towns as you grow into them.

03

Reviews, steadily

A quiet ask that reaches customers at the right moment, plus my reply to every review that comes in — good or bad.

04

Citations and consistency

Your name, address and phone made identical across Google, Apple, Bing and the directories, with wrong and duplicate listings cleaned up.

05

A report you can actually read

Once a month, in plain English: calls, clicks, and where you rank. No jargon, no 40-page PDF nobody opens.

Straight talk on timing

What's realistic — and what isn't.

I'd rather tell you this up front than have you feel oversold in month two.

Weeks

Map and listing fixes show up fast — most of it is information that’s simply missing or wrong today.

Months

Ranking organically for competitive terms is a longer game. Anyone promising page one in 30 days is guessing.

Every month

A plain-English report so you can see exactly what the money is buying, not just take my word for it.

SEO pricing

$250/month. Work you can follow.

Available for your existing website or as an add-on to my website plan. Month to month, cancel anytime. No annual SEO option.

Website and SEO together are $500/month when both are billed monthly. See website pricing and design options →

Questions

Local SEO questions.

What is ‘local SEO’, in plain terms?

It’s the work that gets your business to show up when someone nearby searches for what you do — both in the map at the top and in the results below it. I improve your profile, support honest review requests and build useful pages. Your location, competitors and Google’s ranking systems also affect visibility.

How is this different from the website plan?

The website plan builds and hosts the site itself. Local SEO is the ongoing work of getting that site — and your Google listing — found. They work best together, but they’re separate: you can have a great site nobody finds, or a well-optimised listing pointing at a weak site.

Do I need a website from you to add SEO?

No. If your current site is reasonably fast and decent, I’ll do the SEO work on top of it and tell you so honestly. If the site is what’s actually holding you back, I’ll tell you that too — there’s no point paying for SEO to send people to a page that loses them.

How long until I see results?

Map and listing improvements often show within weeks, because a lot of it is information that’s missing or wrong right now. Ranking organically for competitive service terms takes months, not days. The timeline depends on your starting point and the actual competition.

Can you guarantee I’ll rank number one?

No, and anyone who guarantees a specific ranking is either guessing or lying — nobody controls Google’s results. I commit to the agreed work: profile updates, requests for honest customer reviews, useful pages and a monthly report. Customers choose whether to review, and Google determines rankings.

How much of my time does this take?

I handle the ongoing work. You claim and verify the Google profile, approve details, and share real photos or updates when things change. I’ll explain what I need at the start.

Service area

Where I do this.

Local SEO follows your service area, wherever your business is based. Here are examples from my home region in eastern Idaho.
