Why this matters for your business
When someone in your city searches for what you do, three businesses get the map, the stars, and roughly two out of every three clicks. Everyone else splits the leftovers. Local SEO is the discipline of becoming one of those three, and in 2026 it runs on more than Google: ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews now answer 'best plumber near me' questions directly, citing the businesses their crawlers trust.
Our program covers the whole surface: Google Business Profile managed weekly, review velocity systems (the fastest early mover we know), city and service landing pages with genuinely local content, citations cleaned across 60+ directories, technical SEO on a hand-coded site that Google loves to crawl, and GEO work so AI assistants recommend you, not just rank you.
We publish our pricing, report real numbers (calls, directions, booked jobs, not 'impressions'), and back the work with a 90-day KPI guarantee in writing. If we miss the agreed benchmarks, we work free until we hit them. No local competitor puts that in a contract; we checked.
From first call to running system
Baseline & competitor teardown
Where you rank today for every money keyword in your city, who holds the Map Pack, and exactly why they hold it, reviews, pages, links, proximity.
Foundation sprint (weeks 1–4)
GBP rebuilt and optimized, citations corrected, technical fixes shipped, review system switched on. The compounding starts here.
Content & authority (months 2–6)
City/service pages with real local content, blog posts that feed them, and the AI-search/GEO layer so assistants cite you.
Report, adjust, compound
Monthly: rankings moved, calls generated, reviews earned, next moves. SEO is a flywheel, our job is to keep adding torque.

Local SEO, common questions
How long until I see results?
Review velocity and GBP improvements move Map Pack positions within weeks. Meaningful organic movement shows in 60–90 days, and top-3 contention for most service niches lands around month 4–6. We set the specific KPI timeline in writing before we start.
Do you guarantee #1 rankings?
No one honest does, Google decides rankings. We guarantee agreed KPIs (ranking movement, calls, reviews) within 90 days, or we keep working at no charge until we hit them. Deliverables and outcomes, not magic.
What does local SEO cost?
Local SEO is $597/month for one city: GBP management and posting, local keyword targeting, citations, technical and on-page SEO, review strategy, and monthly reporting. Growth SEO at $897/month adds multi-city targeting with area pages, monthly content, link building, and AI-search/GEO optimization.
What is GEO / AI search optimization?
Generative Engine Optimization, making your business the one AI assistants cite when someone asks ChatGPT or Google AI for "the best X in [city]". Structured data, citable content, consistent entity signals. It's where "near me" searches are migrating, and almost no local competitor is working on it yet.
I'm in a suburb, can I rank in the big city next door?
Often, yes. Service-area businesses can rank in neighbouring cities with the right page structure and review geography, and we're selective about which battles are winnable. That honesty is cheaper than a year of chasing a trophy keyword.
