Local SEO Marketing Services

Local businesses like you need Google to survive. Our local SEO marketing agency has been helping businesses not just survive, but thrive and absolutely dominate in Google.  Since April 2009 our team of self-taught and passionate SEOs have been staying ahead of the curve.  We know how to get your business ranking highly in the newer AI search results, including Google's AI Overviews (AIOs), ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, Perplexity, etc.  

Local buyers trust organic results more than ads—and Google’s local algorithm is its own beast. If you’re not visible in the map pack and local organic listings, you’re losing phone calls, form fills, and walk-ins to nearby competitors. We help retail businesses win in local search reliably, without guesswork. 

We've been optimizing local businesses since Google deployed local results since 2009. And we like to win. Do you?

How Google shows local results

Google is the world’s front door to your business. For local intent, it blends two systems:

  • Map pack (Google Maps): The 3 highlighted listings with pins, ratings, hours, and directions.

  • Local organic results: Traditional listings beneath the map, driven by website relevance and authority.

Winning locally means aligning both: your Google Business Profile (GBP) signals + your website and off-site authority.

What to optimize to earn you local SEO visibility in Google

  • Google Business Profile (GBP): Categories, services, descriptions, photos, products, Q&A, hours, attributes, and UTM tracking—plus post publishing.

  • Maps ranking & proximity strategy: Coverage planning for service areas, location clustering, and “near me” query capture.

  • On-site local relevance: City/neighbor­hood pages, service pages, internal links, headings, and entity-rich copy mapped to local keywords.

  • Citations & NAP consistency: Audit and clean-up across top directories; build net-new listings and niche/geo citations.

  • Reviews & reputation: Request flows, response frameworks, profile guidelines, and spam/fake review escalation.

  • Local links & PR: Sponsorships, local news/features, chambers/associations, event pages, and resource guides.

  • Technical foundations: Mobile UX, speed, Core Web Vitals, indexation, schema for LocalBusiness/Service/FAQ, and crawl budget hygiene.

  • Measurement that matters: Call tracking, GBP Insights, UTM conventions, conversion goals, lead quality checks, and share-of-voice tracking.

Where do you rank?

Proximity is Google's strongest ranking factor. You rank different when you drive down the street. It's important to first understand how and where you are ranking. Contact us today for a free local seo audit and scan report.

who we love to help with local SEO

Organic Local SEO vs. Google Ads & LSAs (yes, we do them all). 

You have noticed by now how Google subtly monetizes their search results by placing advertisements... everywhere.

Searching for "personal injury lawyer Chicago" on desktop today yields a literal full page full of advertisements to the searcher.  Is this a good experience? (rhetorical)

49% of Americans trust organic search results more than paid results, while another 46% trust organic and paid results equally. Only 5% trust paid results more than organic. - Search Engine Land, February 2025

People trust organic results more than paid ads. As a result, people tend to skip over ads and jump straight to the organic results because Google has a good history of providing quality results. At the end of the day, Google is a public, profit-seeking company so we cannot expect ads to go away anytime soon. But having a solid organic SEO strategy, including Local SEO, is important for balancing out your channels and giving them all the proper attention.
