Local SEO · map pack visibility

When someone nearby searches for what you do, be the one they find.

The map results at the top of a local search send more customers to small businesses than the rest of the page combined. This is the work that gets you into them.

For a local business, the map pack is the whole game

Someone searches for what you sell and adds a town name, or just searches on their phone. Google shows three businesses on a map before it shows anything else. Most people pick one of the three and never scroll.

Getting into that group is a different discipline from ordinary SEO. It runs on your Google Business Profile, your reviews, how consistently your business details appear across the web, and whether you have real pages about the places you serve.

Almost every local business I look at is losing on at least two of those four, usually without knowing it.

What’s included

01

Google Business Profile — claimed, fully completed, correctly categorized, and kept active with posts and photos

02

Citations — your name, address, and phone made consistent across the directories that count, and the wrong ones cleaned up

03

Local landing pages — a real page for each town or service area you want to rank in, not a list of place names

04

Reviews — a simple system for asking, plus responses to what comes in

05

Local keyword research and tracking, so you can see your position by area over time

06

A monthly report showing map rankings, profile views, calls, and direction requests

How it works

01 —

Audit

I check your profile, your citations, your reviews, and your local rankings against the businesses currently beating you.

02 —

Fix and build

Profile corrected and filled out, citations cleaned up, service area pages written and published. This is the local search overhaul.

03 —

Maintain

Ongoing posts, review responses, new pages as you expand, and monthly reporting on where you sit in the map. This is local visibility management.

Who this is for

Businesses that serve customers in a defined area. Trades, clinics, restaurants, studios, professional services, anything with a service radius.

If your customers could be anywhere and location doesn’t affect who can buy from you, this isn’t your priority. The SEO Trio is.

Packages and cost

Local search overhaul

$300–$900 · one-time

One project that fixes what the audit finds. Your profile built out completely, your citations corrected, a review system in place, and a before-and-after map report when it's done. The audit sets the price, and you approve it before any work starts.

Local visibility management

$240 · monthly

The upkeep that holds your position. Reviews answered every week, your profile kept active, your listings kept consistent, and a one-page report each month on where you rank and what happens next.

Most clients start with the overhaul, then hold the position with monthly management. Both cover one location.

Common questions

I already have a Google listing. Isn’t that enough?

Having one and ranking with one are different things. Most listings I see are half-filled, wrongly categorized, and haven’t been posted to in a year.

How many locations does this cover?

One. Multi-location businesses need a bigger scope, which we can price separately.

Can you get me more reviews?

I can build the system that asks for them at the right moment and make sure every one gets a response. I won’t buy them, and you shouldn’t let anyone else either.
