Local SEO that gets you found before your competitor.

Most local businesses lose half their leads to Google before the phone ever rings. A neighbor recommends you, the person looks you up, and either you're in the top three of the local pack — or you're not, and they call whoever is. We do local SEO for businesses that want to be the one that gets the click: Google Business Profile, citations, reviews, schema, and rank tracking that actually moves the needle.

Based in Chattanooga, serving the Tennessee Valley and remote. Monthly retainers from $499. Real rank tracking, not vanity metrics.

What our local SEO service includes

Local SEO is three things working together, not one: a properly optimized Google Business Profile, a network of consistent citations, and a steady stream of fresh reviews and content signals. Get one right and miss the other two and you stall. Here's what's in a standard engagement.

  • Google Business Profile audit, cleanup, and monthly optimization
  • Local citation building across 50+ directories (Yelp, BBB, Apple Maps, Bing Places, plus industry-specific lists)
  • NAP consistency cleanup across every existing citation
  • Schema markup on your site for LocalBusiness, Service, and Review structured data
  • Review-request pipeline so happy customers leave reviews on autopilot
  • Google Business Profile posts to keep the listing active
  • Geographic and service-area content targeting the cities you serve
  • Rank tracking for 10–25 keywords in your area
  • A monthly one-page report on rankings, reviews, and GBP insights
Why us

Why businesses choose us for local SEO

Local SEO in this market is bimodal: expensive agencies charging $2,000+/month for templated work, and Fiverr-grade citation spam that actively hurts you. We sit in the middle — agency-quality work at a price a small business can justify, written by us, reported in plain English.

We know the local search landscape

Local searches don't look like national ones — 'plumber near me,' 'family dentist Hixson,' 'best brunch Northshore,' 'HVAC repair 37404.' We optimize for the searches your customers actually make, not vanity head terms.

Monthly retainers, not annual contracts

Pause or cancel any month. Most agencies lock you into a year because the first three months are setup that should take a week. We do the setup in month one; the retainer is ongoing optimization after that.

Reporting you can actually read

One-page monthly reports: what we did, what moved, what's next. Ranking position, review velocity, GBP impressions and conversions, organic form fills. Not a 200-page pageview dashboard.

We don't subcontract to a content mill

Everything is written by us. Google's helpful-content updates penalize the generic AI-spun content most cheap local SEO ships — and it tanks rankings. We don't do that.

How it works

How a local SEO engagement runs

Month one is heavy setup. Months 2+ are steady optimization and reporting. You'll see movement inside 60 days on most local searches, and lead-volume changes within 3–4 months.

  1. 1

    1. Audit + strategy (week 1)

    We audit your GBP, on-page SEO, current citations, and your competitors' rankings. By end of week one you have a one-page strategy: which keywords, which citations, what the GBP needs, where the easy wins are.

  2. 2

    2. Setup + cleanup (weeks 2–4)

    GBP optimization, NAP cleanup, schema deployment, review pipeline setup, and a baseline rank-tracking snapshot. The foundation is in place by end of month one.

  3. 3

    3. Monthly optimization (months 2+)

    Citation building, GBP posts, a piece of geographic or service content per month, review-pipeline tuning, and rank tracking. We adjust based on what's moving.

  4. 4

    4. Quarterly strategy review

    Every three months we reset keyword targets, content plan, and citation priorities based on results and what changed about your competitors. You're never frozen on a stale plan.

Outcomes

What you get out of it

The point of local SEO isn't the rankings. The rankings are the means. The point is more of the right phone calls.

More leads from the map pack

Rank top-3 in the local pack for your service and you get the bulk of click-and-call traffic. Most clients see 2–4x more GBP calls within 90 days.

Higher-quality leads

Organic local traffic converts better than paid because the searcher already has intent. Better rankings mean better leads, not just more.

Compounding results

Citations, reviews, content, and rankings reinforce each other. By month six you're usually ranking for terms you didn't actively target.

A defensible position

Once you're top-3, it costs competitors far more to displace you than it costs you to maintain it. We get you there, then keep you there.

Steady review velocity

Our review pipeline brings in several new Google reviews a month on autopilot — the single biggest local-ranking signal.

Reports in two minutes

One-page monthly reports. You'll know in 30 seconds whether the month was a win.
