A Few Companies That Trust Our Team and Process
Our Local SEO Services
Our local SEO experts use a wide range of custom services that are built around your business goals.
Keyword Research
Our local SEO services start with deep research into your business, industry, website, and competitors. Once we’re done, we’ll put together a strategy plan with a list of keywords to target, a structure for your site, and a plan for new and updated content.
Competitor Analysis
A key part of our strategy will be researching which of your competitors are ranking and what strategies they’re using to do it. This will allow us to learn from their success—and find opportunities to put your business on top.
Creating Targeted Content
The best way to reach your audience is to create evidence-based, empathy-built content that answers searchers’ questions and establishes your company as an authority in your line of work. We have a team of expert writers who are experienced in learning new industries and adapting their voice to match each business and website.
Managing Your Google Business Profile
Your Google Business Profile is what ensures that you’ll show up for local searches and Google Maps. If you don’t have one already, we’ll help you claim your Google Business Profile and improve it so it performs better than your competitors.
Implementing a CRO Campaign
A conversion rate optimization campaign will help you turn traffic to your site into leads. We’ll dive into the data to find those high-traffic, low-conversion pages on your site to create a targeted campaign that compels the visitor to take a valuable action.
Tracking Local Progress
Every strategy needs to be reviewed and adjusted as new data comes in. That’s why our team provides regular reports that track our progress using tools such as Google Analytics, SEMrush, and more. Our SEO experts will show you the data behind how our strategy is boosting rankings, driving traffic, and ultimately getting qualified leads. We’ll get input from your team on the progress you’re seeing internally to confirm that our strategy is working and learn how your goals may have shifted.

Are Local SEO Services Right for Your Business?
Not every business needs local SEO. If you’re a software company or a business consultant who works with clients nationwide, it’s probably not necessary. But there are plenty of circumstances where a business should employ local SEO services, such as if they are:
- Trying to increase revenue and brand awareness to one or multiple service areas
- Moving a physical business to a new location
- Interested in expanding services to a new city or state
- Acquiring other companies and wanting to offer a consistent customer experience
- Offering services across the country and specifically targeting states and cities
- Providing services that are greatly affected by local geography, climate, weather, laws, or regulations

How Local SEO Services Work
Implicit and Explicit Searches
Great local SEO services will target both implicit and explicit searches to find every opportunity to get their site in front of the searcher.
An explicit location search is when someone refers to a location in their keyword. Many searchers will put specific cities or regions into their searches, such as “therapists in grand rapids” or “ltl trucking michigan.” This present a great opportunity to create SEO content that targets these specific search terms.
Adding “near me” to the end of a search is another popular type of explicit request, as in “commercial construction near me” or “landscapers near me.” In that case, Google will determine the searcher’s location and show results in their area. While these search terms aren’t as specific as “landscapers in grand rapids” they can typically be served with a similar type of strategy.
An implicit search occurs when a keyword doesn’t refer to a geographic location, but Google still interprets that physical locations what the searcher is looking for. For example, if I search “haircut,” Google shows me a lot of images and links to Pinterest profiles. But if I search “hair salon,” Google guesses that I’m not looking for images, but a list of good hair salons near my location. It also places the map pack at the top of the page.
How to Build Local Trust and Relevance
In order to rank for the keywords your customers are using to search, you need to have local, service-based landing pages that match the intention of the searcher and their desired experience.
For example, if you own a pest control company, you can’t simply have one page that lists all the pests you take care of. You need a mole specific page and one dedicated to each of the service areas. That way, you’re offering the searcher an experience on your website that matches their needs exactly. Plus, this gives you the best shot at ranking high for valuable keywords.
So if you want to rank for “mole control grand rapids” or any of the millions of SERVICE + LOCATION search queries, then you need to have a page that delivers on that need better than anyone else.
On each page, you need to make sure to include:
- Your phone number and contact form present in a way that stands out and is easy to interact with.
- Titles that make it clear that you offer services that will solve the searcher’s problem in the location they searched.
- A clear explanation of the process of engaging with your services and what to expect.
- Reviews and social proof that you work with people or brands in that service area.
- Frequently asked questions (FAQs) that people have about your service.
- Additional resources such as posts related to the topic that are informational and educational.
The Map Pack
One of the main goals of local SEO strategy is getting into the map pack. Visually speaking, map pack is a huge part of the search engine results page (SERP) that takes up the entire screen. It also prioritizes your business and places your phone number, location, hours, and links to more information directly at the reader’s fingertips. Winning a spot in the map pack will require a great Google Business Profile and regularly maintaining it.
