FAQ

Honest answers to real questions

How is local SEO different from regular SEO?

Local SEO targets the Map Pack + "near me" queries. Regular SEO targets organic blue links. Different ranking factors — GBP, citations, and reviews matter way more for local.

How long before I rank in the Map Pack?

60-120 days for most verticals. Low-competition markets can rank faster. Medical/legal verticals in competitive cities take longer because of YMYL scrutiny.

Do you work with multi-location businesses?

Yes. We've worked with multi-location dental groups, med spa chains, and franchise systems. Each location gets its own GBP strategy + localized content.

What if my GBP is suspended?

We handle suspension recovery as part of GBP optimization. Timeline varies — some reinstatements are 48 hours, hard suspensions can take weeks.

Do you handle reviews for us?

We set up the request flow and templates. Clients send the actual review requests to their customers. We also draft responses to reviews.

How much does local SEO cost?

Request a quote. Pricing depends on market competition, number of locations, and current GBP state.
