Local SEO services: pick the one you actually need

Ten services in three groups: monthly work to grow, one-off fixes for something that is broken, and programs for businesses with several locations. Each one has a published scope and a starting price.

What our local SEO services do for a local business

Local SEO is the work that puts a business in front of people searching nearby on Google Search and Google Maps: the map with three businesses at the top of the results, the business’s own Google profile, and the searches that end in a call, a booking or a request for directions. We do that work for business owners with a storefront or a service area, from one location to several.

For most businesses the monthly work is five things: keeping the Google Business Profile complete and active, ranking it in the map results for the searches your customers run, a steady flow of new reviews, directory listings that agree with each other, and neighborhood pages on your website. All five come in every monthly plan, and the plans start at $499 a month for one location. What each plan includes is on the pricing page.

If something is already broken, a one-off fix is usually the better place to start: a suspended listing ($499, refunded in full if it isn't back), verification that is stuck (from $299, refunded in full if it isn't verified), or a cleanup of old directory listings (from $799). The profile check is free.

We work with business owners directly. If you run an agency and want this delivered under your own brand, that is our white-label program for agencies.

Some of this you can run yourself, and plenty of owners do. We wrote up both routes in SEO agency vs doing it yourself, including the weekly hours the DIY version takes.

Service questions, answered.

How do I choose between an ongoing retainer and a one-time fix?

If the problem is acute and finite (suspended listing, stuck verification, citation cleanup), pick a fixed-fee fix. If you want compounding growth in rankings, reviews, and citation health every month, pick a retainer. Many clients start with a fix and add a retainer once the foundation is clean.

Can I bundle multiple services? Do you discount when I combine them?

Yes. Retainer tiers already bundle the core services (GBP management, maps ranking, citations, reviews, neighborhood pages) at one published price. For combinations of fixed-fee fixes, say a suspended-listing recovery plus a citation cleanup, we discount 15–20% on the second project. Custom multi-location and franchise programs are quoted on volume.

What if I'm not sure what I actually need?

Start with the free audit. Send us your Google Business Profile and a Google Product Expert checks it against the three businesses ranking above you nearby, then sends the fixes in writing, in order. That list usually makes it clear whether you need a one-off fix, a monthly plan, or nothing from us at all.

Can I switch tracks later, from a fix to a retainer, or the other way?

Yes. Going the other direction is rarer but allowed, if a retainer client's needs shift to a finite scope, we'll quote the project and pause the retainer.

How is enterprise pricing different from the published tiers?

Enterprise programs (10+ locations, franchises, agency white-label) are quoted on per-location or per-client volume plus a central management layer. The deliverables per location are still published, only the volume and the dashboard layer are custom-quoted. We share the deliverable matrix and a sample scope before any number gets sent.

Is there a safety net on retainers as well as fixed-fee fixes?

Yes, in two different ways. One-off fixes are paid upfront and refunded in full if the promised result doesn't happen. Monthly plans run month to month, so you can stop with 30 days' notice and there is no cancellation fee. The specifics are written into the contract, not the website.

Not sure which one you need?

Start with the free audit. A Google Product Expert checks your profile against the three businesses ranking above you, and the fixes usually show which service fits.
