Why local SEO needs more than 'just GBP'
The Map Pack is the highest-intent real estate in local search, but ranking there in 2026 requires entity-rich content, schema, citation consistency, and steady review velocity — not just a filled-out GBP. We run all four pillars in parallel.
Multi-location and franchise rollouts
We handle 1 location or 100. For multi-location businesses, we build a master landing-page template, deploy unique location pages with localized content, manage individual GBP listings, and centralize reporting in one dashboard.
Frequently asked
How long does local SEO take to work?
Map Pack movement starts in 60–90 days with proper GBP + reviews + local content work. Full organic rankings for competitive city queries take 4–9 months. Review velocity and citation cleanup show within the first 30 days.
How much does local SEO cost in the Bay Area?
Quality local SEO in the East Bay runs $1,500–$4,500/month for single-location businesses and $3,500–$15,000/month for multi-location. Anything under $750/month is almost always automated link-spam or template content.
Do you guarantee Map Pack rankings?
No reputable SEO agency guarantees specific rankings — anyone who does is misleading you. We do guarantee deliverables (audit, GBP work, citations, content, reviews) and we report on Map Pack movement transparently every month.
Can you help if I serve multiple cities without an office in each?
Yes. For service-area businesses (contractors, plumbers, mobile services), we set up GBP as a service-area business, build city pages anchored to your real coverage, and avoid the spammy fake-address tactics that get businesses penalized.
