Local SEO Services That Put You on the Map, Literally
Google Business Profile optimization, citations, local landing pages and review strategy for businesses that serve customers in a city or region, wherever you are.
Local SEO & Google Business Profile, done by one experienced specialist
For a plumber, a dentist, a realtor or an accountant, the most valuable search result isn’t a blue link. It’s the map pack: the three businesses Google shows with directions, reviews and a call button. Getting there is a different game from traditional SEO.
I’ve spent years doing local SEO for service businesses through an SEO agency and for my own clients. The fundamentals haven’t changed: a fully optimized Google Business Profile, consistent business details across the web, strong local pages on your website, and a steady flow of genuine reviews.
Does this sound familiar?
- Competitors show up in the map pack and you don’t
- Your Google Business Profile is half-filled or unverified
- Your address or phone number is different across directories
- You serve several towns but only rank in one
- You get reviews but they don’t seem to help
- Calls from Google dropped after a profile change

Frequently asked questions
What is local SEO?
Local SEO is optimizing your online presence so you appear when people nearby search for what you offer, especially in Google’s map pack and on Google Maps. It combines your Google Business Profile, your website, citations and reviews.
Do I need a physical address for local SEO?
No. Service-area businesses that visit customers can hide their address and list the areas they serve. I’ll set it up correctly for your situation.
How long until I show up in the map pack?
Profile fixes can have an effect within weeks. Competitive cities and categories usually take 3–6 months of consistent work.
Do you work with businesses outside Canada?
Yes. Local SEO works the same way in the US, UK, Australia and elsewhere, and I work with clients remotely wherever they are.
