How long does Local SEO take?
Profile fixes can show up in days. Ranking movement in the map pack usually takes weeks to a few months, and it depends on your category, your town and who you are competing with. Anyone promising a date is guessing.
Can you guarantee first place?
No, and nobody can. Google decides ranking, not me. What I can do is fix the things Google measures and show you the tracking so you can see the direction.
How is this different from Google Local Services Ads?
Local SEO is the unpaid result. You are not charged per lead. Google Local Services Ads are the paid listings above it, billed per lead, with the Google Verified badge. Most businesses do best running both, and the ads work better once the profile is in order.
Do I need a website for this?
A profile alone can bring calls, but the website is what Google and your customer check next. If you do not have one, or it is old, a website or refresh is usually the first step.
What does it cost?
$299.90 one-time setup, then $99.90 a month for ongoing optimization, billed month to month on a signed service agreement. Cancel with 30 days' written notice. The review is free either way, and I will tell you what the work involves before anything is billed.
Do I also need the Google Business Profile Setup?
No. If you hire Local SEO and already have a profile, reviewing and optimizing it is part of the work. The Profile Setup is for businesses that only want the profile done, without Local SEO.
Do you work outside Cape Cod?
Yes. Cape Cod and Barnstable County are where most of my clients are, and I work remotely with service businesses elsewhere in the US.
Can review requests go out automatically?
Yes. The Google review workflow in the Growth and Scale plans of Live In Seven CRM asks each customer for a review after the job.
