The 6-pillar system

Six pillars run in order. That's the system.

Local SEO isn't a single tactic, it's six layers stacked. We run them in order, every month, for every client. This is the same playbook we charge five figures for, summarized.

Google Business Profile

Your free listing on Google. The most important ranking lever for any local business, full stop. We treat GBP like the most valuable asset on the internet, because for you it is.

Claim, verify (video method), and lock down the listing
Choose an accurate primary category for the actual business
Photos cadence + weekly Posts · activity signal that compounds
Review requests and responses · Honest customer feedback

Website Foundation

Your website is Google's source of truth for your business. Cross-references your GBP, validates your NAP, and decides whether you can rank at all. A weak site caps your GBP ceiling.

NAP consistency across every page and footer
Mobile-first layouts with sub-2-second LCP
GA4 + GSC + call-tracking wired before launch
Lead-capture flows that convert paid + organic the same

Technical SEO

Crawlability, page speed, schema, HTTPS. The invisible infrastructure Google reads first. Most contractor sites fail Core Web Vitals on a single hero image. We fix the boring fundamentals so the rest of the work compounds.

Crawl audit + sitemap submitted to Search Console
LocalBusiness schema with SameAs links to GBP and socials
Core Web Vitals green on mobile · LCP < 2.5s, CLS < 0.1
No render-blocking JS, intrusive popups, or duplicate URLs

On-Page SEO

Every page on your site is clearly about one specific service in one specific location. Title tags, H1s, body content, and CTAs all point at the same intent. Useful to humans, legible to Google.

Unique title tag per page · Service + City | Brand format
One H1 per page, service + city placed naturally
500 to 1,000 words of real content per service page
Click-to-call above the fold · NAP in footer, identical to GBP

Off-Page SEO + Citations

Authority that comes from outside your website. For local, relevance beats raw domain authority. We build citations on the directories that actually move map-pack rankings, not link farms that get penalized.

Top 10 priority citations · Yelp, Bing Places, Apple Maps, BBB, Angi
Industry-association placements · NADRA, NRCA, etc.
Local-relevance backlinks · Chamber of Commerce, sponsorships
Quarterly toxic-link audit · Google never sees a PBN we built

Content + AI Search

Pillar pages, cluster pages, location pages, and answerable FAQs that rank in Google AND in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Bing AI. Authority flows upward into your GBP every time we publish.

Pillar + cluster + location + blog model · authority compounds
FAQ blocks built around what AI engines actually quote
Schema + SameAs · resolves entity ambiguity for LLMs
Branded review copy · 'fixed our deck in Bucks County' = signal

How authority flows

Blog · FAQ postsCluster pagesPillar pageGoogle Business Profile

Every internal link points up the chain. Every published article fortifies the pillar. The pillar fortifies your GBP. Your GBP wins the map pack.

Local SEO questions

FAQ about Local SEO.

How does your lead commitment work?

We start with a target of 35-50 qualified leads in your first 90 days. Before you enroll, we agree your exact minimum based on your services, market and advertising budget. If we miss that minimum, we waive subsequent management fees and keep working until we reach it. Advertising spend remains separate.

How is local SEO different from regular SEO?

Local SEO focuses on map pack rankings, Google Business Profile, service-area pages, reviews, and citations. Regular SEO is about organic rankings more broadly. Their relative value depends on the business, customer needs and market.

Will this work if I have no reviews?

We can establish a review request and response workflow in either growth package. Customers decide whether to review and what rating to give; no review count is guaranteed.

How many service areas can you target?

We agree one primary business and market during discovery. Coverage must reflect real operating capacity. Separate locations or substantially wider scope require an explicit agreement.

How long until I rank?

There is no fixed ranking timeline. Starting condition, relevance, distance, competition and customer evidence all matter. We report qualified inquiries and search observations; the written lead commitment is separate from rankings.

Do you help with Google Ads too?

Paid acquisition is included in every package. The primary eligible channel is agreed during discovery. Lead & Local Growth and Local Authority combine it with ongoing local SEO. Advertising spend is separate.
