What you’re paying for each month
“Local SEO” can sound vague. It shouldn’t be. When you pay for local SEO every month, you should know what work gets done. Here’s what’s included in our Growth plan, from $449 per month, and why each piece matters.
1. Citations: consistent listings everywhere
A citation is any listing of your business name, phone number and address or service area (often called NAP) on another site: directories, map apps, industry sites, local chambers. Google compares them. When they match, it trusts your details. When they don’t, it gets less sure.
Each month we:
- Find old or wrong listings and fix them.
- Build new listings on relevant directories.
- Keep your name, phone and service area consistent everywhere.
2. Local content: pages that match what people search
Your website needs pages that say exactly what you do and where you do it. We write and improve:
- Service pages for each main service.
- City pages for the places you serve, with real local detail.
- Updates to existing pages so they stay accurate and useful.
3. Backlinks: proof you’re part of the community
A backlink is a link to your site from another site. Links from real, relevant local sources, like local organizations, suppliers, sponsorships and community sites, tell Google your business is established. We look for honest opportunities each month. No spammy link schemes.
4. Google Business Profile posting
Your Google Business Profile shows up in Maps and the Map Pack. Regular posts, like a recent project, a seasonal tip or an offer, keep the profile active and give searchers something fresh to see.
5. A monthly report
Every month you get a report in plain English: what we did and what changed. No jargon, no 40-page PDFs.

What else Growth includes
Growth isn’t only local SEO. It also includes:
- The Spotlight System: your website, missed-call text-back, instant lead replies, review requests, campaigns, on-site SEO and one inbox.
- Local Services Ads management, for eligible trades.
Results build over time
Local SEO compounds. Each month’s work adds to the last. We won’t promise rankings or numbers we can’t back up. We’ll show you the work and the progress.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract on any digital plan.
What a monthly report should tell you
A useful local SEO report answers a few plain questions:
- What did you work on this month? Citations fixed or added, pages written or updated, links earned, profile posts published.
- How is visibility changing? How the business is showing up in local search for its main services and areas.
- What’s next? The plan for the coming month.
If a report is full of charts but doesn’t answer those questions, it isn’t doing its job. Ours are written in plain English.
What you can do to help
Local SEO goes faster when the owner helps in a few small ways:
- Ask every customer for a review, or let automated requests do it.
- Send photos of recent jobs for profile posts and your website.
- Tell us about new services or areas you want to grow into.
- Mention local involvement, like sponsorships or community events, which can turn into local links.
What local SEO doesn’t do
Local SEO doesn’t buy you a top spot, and it doesn’t work overnight. It also can’t fix a business that doesn’t answer the phone or has unhappy customers. What it does is make sure Google understands what you do, where you do it and why people trust you, and it builds that understanding month after month.
How long to give it
Local SEO is a long game. Give it time to build, watch your monthly reports, and judge it by the trend rather than one month’s movement. If you need calls faster while SEO builds, Google Ads in the Dominate plan or Local Services Ads in Growth can help in the meantime.
