Local SEO that wins the Google Maps 3-pack.
Most customers searching for a local business never look past the top three Google Maps results. If you are not in that 3-pack, you are invisible. We get local businesses into it — and keep them there.
Is this the right fit?
- Home service businesses — plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofing, landscaping. Anyone whose customers search "near me."
- Professional services — legal, medical, dental, accounting, financial. Local credibility wins these searches.
- Retail and hospitality — restaurants, salons, boutiques, gyms. Any business where foot traffic and bookings matter.
- Multi-location businesses — franchises and chains needing consistent ranking across multiple cities or service areas.
- New businesses within their first 2 years that need to establish local search presence from scratch.
Local search is winner-take-all.
60% of local clicks go to the Google Maps 3-pack. Another 25% go to position 1 in the regular results. That leaves 15% of clicks for everyone else — combined. If your business is not in those top spots for the searches your customers actually use, you are competing for scraps. Local SEO is the highest-ROI marketing investment most local businesses can make.

FAQ.
How long until I rank in the Google Maps 3-pack?
It depends on how competitive your market is and how strong your current local signals are. Most clients see meaningful 3-pack movement within 60–90 days. Highly competitive markets (big-city legal, dental, real estate) can take 4–6 months. We are honest about the timeline up front; the audit will tell us what is realistic.
Do you guarantee #1 rankings?
No, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. Google's algorithm is not something any agency controls. What we guarantee is that the right work gets done — the work that consistently produces ranking improvements for businesses like yours.
How is this different from just running Google Ads?
Ads stop the second you stop paying. Local SEO compounds: the work we do in month 1 keeps producing traffic in month 12 and month 24. A typical client replaces several thousand dollars of monthly ad spend within 6 months and keeps ranking even if they pause the engagement.
I have a single location. Is local SEO still worth it?
Yes — often more than for multi-location businesses, because the competition is usually less fierce. A single-location business that dominates its local 3-pack typically beats a multi-location competitor that splits its attention across 5 cities.
What does it cost?
Local SEO is delivered through monthly packages: Foundation at $350/month (3-month minimum), Momentum at $650/month, and Accelerate at $950/month (6-month minimum). Momentum is the recommended tier for most established local businesses. Every engagement starts with a free Site Health Check so you know exactly what you are investing in. View SEO packages →
