✦ Local SEO · Honest Pricing Up Front
Local SEO for small businesses
Real local SEO with the pricing on the table: from $500/month, itemized deliverables, and monthly reporting on calls, not vanity rankings. 90-day guarantee included.
Here's the real market, based on what agencies actually charge:
DIY tools: $0–$100/month. Good for tracking; they don't do the work for you.
Freelancers: $500–$1,500/month. Quality varies wildly, ask for client references and live ranking examples.
Agencies: $1,000–$3,000/month for legitimate, ongoing local SEO. Competitive markets cost more.
$99/month plans: automated citation blasts and PDF reports. If the monthly report never mentions a single phone call, you're not buying SEO.
Our small-business programs start at $500/month, quoted after a free audit of what your market actually needs. No setup-fee surprises, no 12-month lock-in.
The $99/month test: ask any cheap provider this, "what exactly will you do in month four?" If the answer is vague, you're looking at a subscription to reports, not a service.
What You Get Every Month (Itemized)
Vague "SEO packages" are how agencies hide thin work. Here's the actual monthly checklist:
Google Business Profile management, posts, photos, Q&A, service updates, and review responses handled for you.
Citation building & cleanup, new accurate listings plus fixing the wrong phone numbers and old addresses floating around the web.
Review generation system, automated requests after each sale or job, so 5-star reviews arrive steadily instead of randomly.
Local content, service and location pages written for your customers and structured so Google and AI assistants can use them.
Local link outreach, real links from local publications, partners, and community organizations.
Monthly report on calls, phone calls, direction requests, profile views, and rankings, plus a plain-English list of everything we did.
How You'll Know It's Working
Five tips to get real local SEO results without overspending.
Rankings are a means to an end. We report on the end:
Calls, not positions.
Every monthly report leads with phone calls from your profile, direction requests, and contact-form fills, then shows the rankings behind them.
Give any SEO effort 90 days before judging it, that's how long meaningful movement takes. Which is exactly why we guarantee measurable progress in 90 days or work free until you see it.

The smart play for most small businesses: run lean ads while SEO compounds, then reduce ad spend as organic calls take over. We help clients manage that transition instead of selling them ads forever.
The AI-Search Bonus Nobody Else Mentions
Your customers are starting to ask ChatGPT and Gemini for local recommendations, "best accountant near me," "who fixes drywall in [city]?" AI assistants answer from business data, reviews, and authoritative mentions. We structure all of it so you're the business they name. It's included in every program, because in two years it won't be optional.
90 Days, Measurable Progress, Or Free Work
If your rankings and profile metrics haven't clearly improved within 90 days, we keep working at no charge until they do. Small businesses can't afford to gamble on marketing, so we take the risk instead.

FAQ
Straight Answers.
DIY tools run $0–$100/month, freelancers $500–$1,500, agencies $1,000–$3,000. Our small-business programs start at $500/month, quoted after a free audit. Anything at $99/month is automated reports, not real SEO work.
Profile management, citation building and cleanup, review generation, local content or new service-area pages, local link outreach, and a monthly report showing calls and rankings, plus a list of everything actually done.
Judge it on calls and booked jobs: phone calls from your profile, direction requests, and form fills month over month. If a provider's report never mentions leads, that's a red flag.
Ads deliver calls immediately but stop the day you stop paying. SEO builds a durable asset that compounds. Most small businesses run lean ads while SEO builds, then reduce ad spend as organic calls take over.
The basics, yes: complete your profile, get reviews consistently, keep business info identical everywhere. That covers maybe 40% of the work. Citations at scale, link building, and technical fixes are where most owners hand it off.
