Businesses with several locations range from $3,000 to $7,500 depending on market competition, and programs for six or more locations start at $7,500. The free audit sets exact pricing in writing.

Most local SEO campaigns show first Map Pack movement within 4 to 8 weeks, because Google Business Profile fixes and citation cleanup act faster than traditional rankings work. Competitive metros usually need 3 to 6 months for stable top-three positions. The gains compound: the review base and local authority built along the way keep producing after the heavy work ends.

Regular SEO targets organic rankings for searches without a location component; local SEO targets the Map Pack, Google Maps, and searches with local intent. Different systems rank each: proximity, relevance, and prominence decide local results, while content depth and links decide organic ones. A business serving a physical area usually needs both, weighted toward local first.

Google Business Profile, formerly Google My Business, is the free listing that controls how your business appears in Google Search and Maps: name, categories, hours, photos, reviews, posts, and service details. It is the foundation of local SEO because profile completeness and activity directly affect Map Pack rankings. Managing it well is ongoing work, not a one-time setup.

The Map Pack, also called the Local Pack or 3-Pack, is the block of three local business listings with a map that Google shows above most organic results for local searches. It captures the majority of clicks and calls on those searches, which is why local SEO programs treat Map Pack placement as the primary target.

NAP stands for name, address, and phone number. Consistency means those details are identical everywhere your business is listed: your website, Google Business Profile, Yelp, Apple Maps, Facebook, and every directory. Conflicting listings make Google less confident in your business data, which suppresses local rankings. Citation audits and cleanup exist to remove that doubt.

You measure it in business outcomes: Map Pack positions tracked on a grid across your service area, calls and direction requests from GBP insights, organic sessions from local queries, and tracked calls tied to specific pages. Our monthly reports carry those numbers, not activity lists, so you can connect the fee to the phone ringing.

Yes. Each location gets its own Google Business Profile management, its own location page, and its own review cadence, with centralized citation control and consolidated reporting on top. The structure keeps locations from competing against each other in overlapping markets. Programs scale from two locations to franchise systems with brand consistency requirements.

The common causes: an unverified or suspended profile, a category mismatch, duplicate listings splitting your signals, NAP conflicts across directories, or a service-area setup that hides you outside a small radius. Most are fixable once identified, and a proper audit finds the cause in days. Guessing at it one change per month wastes a year.

Ask to see grid rank tracking, not single-point rankings. Ask how they generate reviews, and walk away from anyone buying them. Ask for pricing before the sales call ends, for month-to-month terms, and for reporting tied to calls rather than impressions. Any local SEO company confident in its work will meet all four asks without friction.

Google Business Profile management, citation building and cleanup, a review velocity program, location and service-area pages, local link building, LocalBusiness structured data, and monthly plain-number reporting with call tracking. The exact mix follows the audit: a single-location business in a quiet market needs less of the system than a contested multi-location brand.

No. Local SEO programs run month to month. The work needs a fair window to show results, and we recommend judging it across at least six months, but the decision to continue stays yours each month. Clients stay because rankings, calls, and reviews improve, not because an agreement forces them to.

Suspensions usually trace to a rule tripped in good faith: a keyword-stuffed business name, an address that looks virtual, or edits that pattern-match spam. We file the reinstatement with the evidence Google asks for, fix the cause so it does not repeat, and in the meantime your location pages keep the local rankings a profile outage cannot touch. Prevention is cheaper: we keep profiles inside the guidelines from day one.
