What local SEO is, and is not

When someone in Decatur searches for a plumber, a lawyer or a landscaper, Google shows a map with three businesses on it before anything else. Local SEO is the work that gives your business a fair chance of being one of them: a complete and accurate Google Business Profile, listings across the web that all say the same name, address, phone and hours, and a site whose pages say plainly what you do and where.

It is not a trick, and it is not a promise. Nobody can promise a ranking, a spot in the map results or a number of leads, and anyone who does is selling something else. What we can do is the work, every month, and show you what happened: how many people called, filled in the form or looked at your profile.

Google does not verify or endorse these services. We are not Google and we do not work for Google.

What gets done each month

Google Business Profile

The profile is filled in and kept current: categories, services, hours, photos, the towns you serve and the link to your site. Updates go up when there is something to say.

Listings cleanup

Your business is listed in more places than you know, and some of them have an old phone number or the wrong hours. We find them and make the name, address, phone and hours match everywhere, because a mismatch is one of the things that keeps a business out of the map results.

On-page work

The pages on your site get titles, descriptions and headings that say what you do and where. If a service has no page, we say so and quote it.

The monthly report

Once a month you get a short report with three numbers that matter: calls, form fills and profile views. Not impressions, not keyword positions you cannot cash. If the numbers are not moving, the report says what we are changing.

Local SEO works best on a site that is already in shape. If yours is not, start with a redesign and see pricing for both. The roofers and deck builders pages show the kind of site the map work points to.

Local SEO questions

Do you promise rankings?

No. Nobody can promise a ranking, a spot in the map results or a number of leads, and Google itself names that promise as a warning sign. We do the work each month and report calls, form fills and profile views.

Someone from Google called me. Was it you?

No. Google does not call businesses to sell listings or rankings, and we do not call in Google's name. To check a call like that, hang up, sign in to your Google Business Profile yourself and see whether anything needs attention. Google does not verify or endorse these services.

What does it cost?

From $500 a month for Decatur and the towns around it. Larger markets are quoted after a look at the competition. It is month to month and cancels with 30 days' notice.

What is in the monthly report?

Calls, form fills and profile views for the month, with a note on what was done and what is next.
