Local SEO services

Everything that decides whether you show up nearby

Local search is now two channels at once: the map pack and Maps, plus AI answers in Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. Both read the same signals. We fix all of them.

Google Business Profile optimization

Correct primary and secondary categories, service lists, products, geo-tagged photos, holiday hours, and a weekly posting cadence. Profiles that stay active outrank profiles that were set up once and abandoned.

City + service landing pages

A real page for every service crossed with every market you actually serve, written with local detail instead of a find-and-replace city name. Thin templated pages now cost you trust rather than earn rankings.

AI search visibility (AEO / GEO)

Answer-shaped content, entity consistency across the web, and citations that language models can actually resolve — so your name comes up when someone asks an assistant for a recommendation near them.

Schema markup and technical SEO

LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, Review and Organization schema wired to your real NAP data. Plus crawl, index, canonical and Core Web Vitals work, because a slow local page loses the slot to a faster competitor.

Citations and NAP cleanup

One name, one address, one phone number across Apple Business Connect, Bing Places, the data aggregators, Yelp, BBB and your industry directories. Conflicting listings are the quietest reason businesses stall.

Review generation and response

A request flow your staff will actually use, plus written responses to every review. Steady review velocity carries about 16% of local pack weight and feeds straight into what AI summarizes about you.

Rank tracking and call attribution

Grid-based map rankings around your service area, call and direction taps from the profile, and form conversions by landing page. You see which streets you win and which you lose.

Conversion work on the pages that rank

Click-to-text, click-to-call, quote forms with spam protection, and above-the-fold answers to price, service area and availability. Rankings without calls are just a nicer-looking analytics chart.

Multi-location and service-area setup

Franchise, multi-branch and service-area businesses get a location architecture that doesn't cannibalize itself, with internal linking that tells Google which page owns which market.

Three ways in

Keep your site, rebuild it, or start clean

Most businesses don't need a new website. They need the one they have to be readable by Google and by AI. We'll tell you honestly which of these you're looking at after the audit.

Your site converts fine, it just doesn't rank

  • On-page rewrite for service + city terms

How three days actually works

You send access on Monday. It's live by Wednesday.

No discovery phase that eats a month. We front-load the research, build in one pass, and hand you the keys.

Day 1

Audit and keyword map

We pull your current rankings, map-grid position, competitor gaps and citation errors. Then we build the keyword matrix: every service crossed with every market, sorted by real search volume, mapped to the pages that will target them.

Day 2

Build and write

Pages get built and written — home, services, locations, FAQ — with schema, internal links, images and speed handled as we go. Your Google Business Profile is rebuilt in parallel so both signals line up.

Day 3

Launch and instrument

Redirects, indexing requests, sitemap, Search Console and analytics. Call and form tracking goes live. You get a walkthrough, a login, and a 30/60/90 plan you can run yourself or hand back to us.

Questions we get every week

Straight answers before you call

How long until local SEO actually works?

Google Business Profile fixes and citation cleanup often move map rankings inside 2–4 weeks. Competitive service-plus-city terms in a mid-size metro usually take 3–6 months of consistent work. Anyone promising page one in thirty days for a competitive term is selling you something.

Can you really build a website in 3 days?

Yes, for a standard local service business — home, services, locations, about, FAQ and contact, with schema, tracking and a Google Business Profile rebuild. Large e-commerce catalogs, custom booking systems or 50-location rollouts take longer, and we'll say so before you pay anything.

Do I need a new website, or can you fix mine?

Most sites can be fixed. We rebuild when the platform is the bottleneck — a page builder that can't hit Core Web Vitals, a theme that can't produce clean location pages, or a stack nobody can edit anymore. The audit tells you which situation you're in, and it's free.

What is AI search visibility, and does it replace ranking in Google?

It sits alongside it. AI Overviews and assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity now answer a growing share of local questions directly, pulling from your Business Profile, reviews, service pages and structured data. The work overlaps heavily with classic local SEO, but the content has to be shaped as clear answers with consistent entity data, not marketing prose.

Do you work with businesses outside New Mexico?

Every week. The office is in Albuquerque and the client list covers the whole country. Everything runs over text, email and a shared dashboard, so nothing about the campaign depends on being in the same city.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Builds are a fixed one-time price. Ongoing local SEO is month-to-month, and you keep the site, the domain, the profile and the analytics accounts regardless of whether you keep working with us.

What do you need from me to start?

Domain or hosting access, Google Business Profile manager access, your service list and service areas, and any existing analytics logins. If you don't have some of those, we set them up. Realistically it's about twenty minutes of your time on day one.

How much does local SEO cost?

US local SEO retainers generally run $300–$2,500 per month depending on market size, number of locations and how competitive the vertical is. Site builds and rebuilds are quoted as a flat fee after the audit. You'll get a number before any work starts.
