Local SEO

What's included

Google Business Profile

Your GBP is the single biggest factor in local search. I optimize every field, category, photo, and post so Google shows you first.

Local Keyword Targeting

Ranking for “plumber Richmond VA” beats ranking for “plumber.” I target the searches your actual customers make.

Reviews Strategy

More and better reviews, systematically. I set up a simple process that gets happy customers to leave 5 stars.

Citations & Listings

Consistent business info across Yelp, Apple Maps, Bing, and dozens of directories — a quiet but real ranking factor.

On-Page SEO

Titles, content, schema markup, and internal structure tuned for the terms that matter in the RVA market.

Plain-English Reports

Every month: where you rank, what changed, what I did, and what's next. No jargon, no vanity metrics.

Why it matters

The honest version

When someone in Richmond needs what you sell, they search Google — and the businesses in the top 3 map results get the calls. Everyone below that is invisible.

Local SEO is how you get into that map pack and onto page one. It's not magic and it's not instant: it's a set of concrete, provable tasks — optimizing your Google Business Profile, building consistent citations, earning reviews, and publishing content that matches what your customers search for.

I do exactly that, every month, and show you the results in plain English. You'll know what you're paying for, what moved, and why. No lock-in contracts — if the results don't earn your business each month, you can walk.

Month by Month

What ongoing local SEO actually looks like

Month one is an audit and foundation. I review your Google Business Profile field by field, fix your site's technical SEO, research the exact phrases Richmond customers use to find businesses like yours, and audit your listings across Yelp, Apple Maps, Bing, and the major directories for inconsistencies that quietly hurt rankings.

Every month after that is compounding work: new citations, review generation (a simple system that asks every happy customer at the right moment), Google Posts, content targeting one local search per month, and monitoring what competitors are doing. Local SEO is not a one-time setup — Google rewards businesses that stay active.

Google ranks local businesses on three factors: relevance (does your profile and site clearly say what you do?), distance (how close are you to the searcher?), and prominence (reviews, citations, and authority). You can't move your building, but the other two are fully workable — that's where the monthly effort goes.

FAQ

Common questions

How long does local SEO take to work?

Expect meaningful movement in 2–4 months for most Richmond businesses, faster if your Google Business Profile has obvious gaps. SEO compounds: the longer it runs, the stronger your position gets.

What does local SEO cost?

My Growth Plan starts at $600/month and includes local SEO, content, and reporting. One-time SEO setups (GBP optimization, site fixes) are available with the Website + Local SEO package at $2,500+.

What's a Google Business Profile and why does it matter?

It's the business listing that appears in Google Maps and the local results. For local searches, it matters more than your website — an optimized profile is often the difference between page one and invisible.

Do you guarantee #1 rankings?

No, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does — nobody controls Google. What I guarantee is transparent work, honest reporting, and a strategy based on what actually moves local rankings.
