Local SEO

Own the map pack.

Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, geo-targeted content, and review management for businesses that live or die by local visibility.

What it is, and why it matters.

For service businesses, the Google map pack (those three listings above the organic results) drives more leads than anything else on the page. If you're not in it for your core terms — or only in it on brand searches — you're leaving revenue for competitors.

Local SEO is a distinct discipline from traditional SEO. It depends on Google Business Profile optimization, NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistency across the web, local citations, review velocity and sentiment, proximity signals, and category selection. We do all of it.

Especially critical for: home services, healthcare, legal, restaurants, fitness, and any business where customers search with geographic intent ("plumber near me", "Portland divorce attorney", "dentist Lake Oswego").

Frequently Asked

Good questions. Straight answers.

How fast does Local SEO work?
Faster than traditional SEO. We often see map pack movement within 30-60 days on non-brand terms, because Google Business Profile signals are more responsive to optimization than organic rankings.
What if I have multiple locations?
We handle multi-location SEO regularly. Each location gets its own GBP strategy, local citations, and often a dedicated landing page — while keeping the brand consistent across locations.
Do reviews really matter that much?
Yes — both count and velocity. 4.5+ stars with recent reviews outperforms 5.0 with no recent activity. We set up a review generation system so getting new reviews stops being a manual chore.
Can I do Local SEO without a physical office?
Yes, if you serve a geographic area. Service Area Businesses (SABs) are a recognized GBP category — no storefront required, but you still rank in the map pack for your service area.
What about suspended GBP listings?
We handle suspension reinstatements regularly. Most are fixable within 1-2 weeks if the underlying issue is addressable. We'll tell you honestly during the audit whether yours is.
