For most local businesses the three map results take the calls and the rest of page one takes the browsing. $220 a month, on its own — the profile, the citations and the reviews, without buying a whole SEO retainer.
Plenty of businesses pay for SEO on a website for a year while the profile that is actually shown to somebody searching nearby sits exactly as it was on day one.
Name, address and phone identical across the site, the profile and every directory that already has you. It is unglamorous, it is boring, and it is most of the win.
The map pack moves for reasons nobody outside Google fully controls, and proximity is one of them — which no amount of work changes.
This is the piece, not the package. If you also want the website ranking, the SEO Standard plan carries both — and costs less than buying them apart.
“Our local SEO improved — we are now top 3 on Google Maps. Members book through the website, and support is always available.”
“Our old website was years behind the business. Daniel rebuilt it from scratch and now runs our SEO — one point of contact, and things move without chasing.”
Yes, and often that is the right first move. A corrected profile can move you in the pack while the website question is still open.
Profile fixes can show in weeks. Getting into the top three where somebody else is established takes longer, and depends on reviews you have to earn.
No — and nobody honest will. Buying or writing reviews gets the listing suspended. What I do is set up the asking so it is easy and it actually happens.
No. Month to month, like everything else here. If the profile is fixed and you would rather run it yourself from there, that is a perfectly good outcome and I will show you how.
Yes, with a service-area profile set up properly. Listing thirty towns you do not really serve is the fastest way to rank for none of them.
Local search is one piece. This is what it usually comes with.
Just the link. One call and I will tell you what is missing from it and what I would fix in the first week.
