FAQ

Common questions about local SEO

How much does local SEO cost?

Local SEO services start at $67/month with written agreements included. This includes Google Business Profile management, local schema markup, and monthly ranking reports. Higher tiers include more keywords and competitor tracking.

How long does it take to see local SEO results?

Most businesses see movement in local search rankings within 2-3 months. Google Business Profile optimization can show results faster, sometimes within weeks. Competitive markets take longer.

Do I need a new website for local SEO to work?

Not necessarily. I can optimize your existing website with local schema markup, better headings, and improved meta tags. If your site is outdated or slow, a redesign may help, but it's not required to start.

What is a Google Business Profile and why does it matter?

Google Business Profile is the free listing that appears in Google Maps and local search results. It shows your business name, address, phone, hours, photos, and reviews. Optimizing it is the single most impactful thing you can do for local search.
