Get ranked in the local map 3-pack
Local Search Marketing
Show up in the Google map results where local customers call from. We manage your Google Business Profile, reviews and citations every month.
For most local searches, Google shows a map with three businesses below it. We call this the local 3-pack, and it is where you want your business to be. These three listings sit above the regular results, show your reviews, phone number and directions, and get the most clicks and calls. This is prime Google real estate.
What’s included
How we handle local search for you
Google Business Profile SEO
Each month: choosing the best categories, crafting your description and services, setting hours, messaging and Q&As, adding photos and weekly Google posts.
Review management
We monitor reviews around the web, help you get new ones, and deal with the turkeys who post fake reviews.
Citations
We submit your company to the major data aggregators and hundreds of the most powerful citation sites.
Inbound linking
Local links from businesses, organizations and news sites that tell Google you are a real part of your community.
On-page SEO
Titles, meta descriptions, headings and images on each page, optimized so Google and Bing know who you are, what you do and where.
Removing competitor spam
Competitors stuffing keywords into their business name or running fake listings? We report them and get them cleaned up.
Your Google Business Profile is as important as your website
Your Google Business Profile matters as much to your local rankings as your website does. It is also one of the main sources AI tools like Gemini and ChatGPT use when someone asks for a recommendation near them. That is why we work on it every month instead of setting it up once and walking away.
Reviews can make or break a local business
You need someone in your corner to monitor reviews, help you get new ones and respond the right way. Businesses with more than the average number of reviews across all review sites bring in 54% more in annual revenue.
Reviews also feed AI answers. When an assistant describes your business, it leans on what your customers wrote about you.
Easy-to-read reporting
Each month we send you simple, straightforward reporting on rankings, reviews, traffic, AI traffic, conversions and any paid ad campaign you’re running. We pull out the important points and summarize everything in plain English.
Questions
Local Search FAQ
How long does it take to rank in the map 3-pack?
It depends on your market and how far you are from the searcher. Most clients see movement in the first few months, and we show you the changes on a local search grid every month so you can see it street by street.
Do you need access to my Google Business Profile?
Yes. We ask to be added as a manager, so you always stay the owner of your profile.
