What's the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?
Local SEO targets "near me" and city-specific queries. It uses Google Business Profile, local citations, and service-area pages — different mechanics than ranking for nationwide terms.
-
How long until I see results?
Google Business Profile changes can show movement in 7-14 days. Organic rankings for new service-area pages typically take 6-12 weeks to stabilize.
-
Do I need a retainer or can I do this one-time?
One-time setup is included in Professional and Authority builds. Ongoing maintenance (GBP posts, citation monitoring, review responses) is the optional retainer at $400/month.
-
What if I have multiple business locations?
Each physical location needs its own GBP listing. We set up and optimize each one. Pricing scales by number of locations — typically +$200 per additional location.
-
What if my competitors have thousands of reviews and I don't?
We focus on review velocity (rate of new reviews) and quality. A site adding 3-5 fresh 5-star reviews per month often outranks a competitor sitting on 500 stale reviews.
