Local SEO is one of the most important strategies for any website that serves visitors in specific local areas. Especially service-based businesses.
SEO has continued to become more and more local (specific to the area someone is in when they're searching) over the years, to the point where 96% of consumers use search engines to try and find local businesses and half of all searches are local searches.
In order to account for these changes and capture the rapidly growing number of "near me" and other proximity-based searches, your business must put a strong, specific focus on local SEO, which is different from traditional SEO.
The goal of local SEO is to gain visibility in the "map pack" and top organic positions for local service and product-based searches within every market area you serve (not just the area where you have a physical location or primary focus).
If your business has a physical location or serves specific local market areas – even if you're a "national" brand – then you MUST invest in Local SEO in order to rank over your competition.
Rank for "Near Me" Searches
"[company type] near me" and "[service] near me" are massively valuable terms we can help you dominate the top positions for.
Rank for "[Service] in [City]" Searches
Rank for valuable "[service] in [city]" searches, even if you don't have a physical location in that area.
Rank in Local Map Listings
Dominate Google & Bing map packs, which dramatically increase phone calls, website visits, and leads.

We do not require our clients to sign contracts. We never want someone to be locked into a relationship they are unsatisfied with. However, we deeply value long-term relationships with our clients. We work extremely hard to grow their businesses and think of them more as partners than transient customers.
If you're looking to purchase a few months of SEO work and then cut ties then we're not the right company for you. SEO is really more of a perpetual service - a journey with no finish line. Competitors never stop innovating, search engines never stop tweaking their algorithms, and we never stop busting our humps for the businesses we represent. To stay on top, businesses have to budget for SEO just as they would any other annual business expense.
There really isn't a cut and dry answer to this question. Most businesses will see significant results within 6 months. Many times results are achieved much quicker than this, but there are so many variables involved that it is difficult to give an exact timeline without knowing more information about the website in question. In general, SEO is a long-term approach. It is a strategy that gains momentum as time passes and the work that we do begins to accumulate.
