When someone nearby searches for what you do, Google shows a map and a short list of businesses before anything else. Our local SEO work targets what decides who gets those spots: your Google Business Profile, your listings across the web, your reviews and your website.
Local SEO is for businesses that serve customers in a particular area: a contractor working out of Marietta, a law office in Midtown, a shop in Decatur. If people search for what you do and see your competitors first, the cause is usually one of a few fixable things.
None of it is mysterious. It takes steady, unglamorous attention, which is exactly what a busy owner rarely has time to give.
The right categories, your full list of services, accurate hours and service areas, real photos and a description of what you actually do. Your profile is what shows in map results, so we treat it as your most important page.
Google says local results depend mainly on relevance, distance and prominence. Someone searching from Sandy Springs sees a different map than someone in Decatur. We can’t move your office, so we work hard on the other two.
Plenty of iPhone owners search straight from Apple Maps. We make sure your business shows up there too, with the same details as everywhere else.
Directories and data sites all repeat your name, address and phone number. We correct the ones that disagree and keep your core listings consistent, so every source tells the same story.
Recent, genuine reviews help you rank and help people decide to call. We show you a simple routine for asking happy customers, or a review-request automation can text them after each job.
If you cover several parts of the metro, a page for each area you genuinely serve helps you show up beyond your own zip code. On sites we build, we plan them with you. Copy-and-paste city pages do more harm than good.
Every month you see where you appear for the searches that matter to your business, in plain English, so you can judge the progress for yourself.
A straight answer about guarantees. Nobody controls Google’s rankings, and anyone who guarantees you the top spot is guessing. What we promise is the work: a complete, accurate profile, consistent listings, a sensible plan for reviews and a site that backs it all up, with a report every month.

An emergency plumbing search and a search for a tax accountant are made in different moods, at different times, with different expectations. See what matters in yours, or how we build websites that support your rankings.
More calls from the map only help if someone answers them. Missed-call text-back replies to every call you can’t pick up.
It depends on where you start and how competitive your trade is in your part of the metro. Fixing an incomplete profile and messy listings can help fairly quickly; competitive searches take longer, and reviews build over time. Your monthly rank report shows where you stand, so you never have to guess.
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Google decides the rankings, and the searcher’s own location changes what they see. We promise the work, and we show you the results every month.
No. Businesses that travel to their customers, like most trades, can list a service area in their Google Business Profile and hide the street address if they don’t serve customers there. We set it up to match how you actually work.
Yes. SEO only looks after your Google Business Profile, Apple Maps and directory listings, which live outside your website, plus a monthly rank report. If your site is holding you back, we’ll tell you, and every website plan includes local SEO foundations.
No. Google’s rules forbid fake reviews and it removes them when it finds them. We help you ask real customers at the right moment, and we can automate those requests if you’d like.
