Local SEO
Local SEO helps your business show up when nearby customers search for what you offer — in Google Search and Maps.
What this service covers
Local SEO is about relevance, proximity, and prominence: making it clear what you do, where you do it, and why searchers should choose you. My work covers the full local stack — from keyword research grounded in local intent, to location-relevant on-page optimization, to consistent business information across the web.
I don't treat local SEO as a checklist of citations. Every market is different, so I start with how your customers actually search, then build location relevance page by page — service pages, location pages, internal linking, and supporting content that earns its place.
Problems this addresses
- Your business doesn't appear for '[service] near me' or '[service] in [city]' searches
- Competitors with weaker offerings outrank you in the local map pack
- You serve multiple areas but only rank in one of them
- Location pages exist but read like duplicated templates
- Business name, address, or phone details are inconsistent across the web

FAQs
Common questions
How long does local SEO take to show results?+
It varies by competition and starting point. Technical and on-page fixes can show movement in weeks; competitive map-pack rankings typically take months of consistent work. I'll give you an honest assessment for your market, not a promise.
Do you guarantee #1 rankings?+
No — and you should be wary of anyone who does. I guarantee structured, transparent work and evidence-based reporting.
Can you help with multiple locations?+
Yes. I've managed SEO across two business locations, including location-page structure and keeping business information consistent.
Do you build citations?+
Entity consistency review is included. Large-scale citation building can be scoped separately depending on your market.
