Set Up Once, Properly
Categories, service areas, attributes, and hours configured deliberately — the decisions that quietly cap your visibility for years.
Own the map pack in your city.
The three results above the fold decide who gets called. We set up the profile, the citations, and the local signals properly once — then keep them accurate while your competitors let theirs drift.
For a local business, the search result that matters isn't page one — it's the three map listings above it. Most people never scroll past them, and the businesses in those slots aren't there by accident: their profile is complete, their details match everywhere, and their reviews keep arriving.
The advantage is that local ranking factors are mostly within your control. The problem is that they decay — an old address on a directory, a category chosen badly at setup, six months without a new review — and nobody notices until the phone stops ringing.
Someone searching “near me” isn't researching. They're choosing between the businesses shown to them right now.
Name, address, and phone must match across every listing. Conflicting data is the most common reason good businesses rank badly.
Volume, recency, and responses all count. A steady trickle beats a burst every time — and it can't be bought safely.
Four reasons local businesses stop switching providers once they work with us.
Categories, service areas, attributes, and hours configured deliberately — the decisions that quietly cap your visibility for years.
A documented local checklist run the same way every time, with an audit trail of every listing we touch.
Schema, page speed, and location pages implemented by our developers — not left as advice for someone else to action.
Systems that make it easy for genuine customers to leave feedback. No purchased reviews, no filtering, no gating.
Everything the local algorithm reads — configured, verified, and documented.
Full setup or rescue: categories, services, attributes, hours, service areas, and photography that actually gets clicks.
Listings built and corrected across the directories that count in your country, with name, address, and phone identical everywhere.
LocalBusiness markup, opening hours, service areas, and reviews implemented on-site so search engines read them without guessing.
A request flow that reaches real customers at the right moment, plus response templates for the good and the difficult ones.
A genuinely useful page per location or service area — not the same text with the city name swapped.
Grid-based rank tracking that shows where in your city you appear, not just an average position.
What the three businesses currently in the pack are doing that you aren't — categories, reviews, and citations compared.
Every credential, listing, and decision documented, so the work stays yours if you ever move providers.
Four to six weeks to set the foundation, then optional maintenance to keep it from drifting.
Profile, citations, reviews, and on-site signals reviewed against the businesses currently in the pack.
Week 1Categories, services, attributes, and media reworked — the highest-leverage change in local SEO.
Week 2New listings built, duplicates removed, and conflicting details corrected across every directory.
Weeks 2–4Schema, location pages, and internal linking implemented by our developers.
Weeks 3–5Review flow switched on, grid tracking set up, and the first reading of map-pack position taken.
Week 6+For service businesses whose customers are within driving distance.
Dental, medical, veterinary, and wellness — where patients choose from the map pack and read every review first.
Plumbers, electricians, builders, and installers competing across a service area rather than one address.
Local firms where a single enquiry justifies the year's marketing spend.
Venues where photos, hours, and recent reviews decide the booking within seconds.
Gyms, salons, and studios living on repeat local custom and word of mouth.
Chains and franchises that need consistent data and a working page for every branch.
A fixed setup project first — the work that only needs doing properly once. Monthly maintenance afterwards is optional, and plenty of clients don't need it.
$900–1,400one-off setup
One address or one service area, competing inside a single city.
$1,800–3,500one-off setup
Several branches, or one business covering a wide service area.
$300–800per month, optional
Keeping the foundation accurate once it's built — add it or skip it.
Setup is quoted precisely after the local audit — the range reflects branch count, how messy the existing listings are, and how many location pages are needed.
Send us the business name and your city. We'll run a grid scan and show you exactly which neighbourhoods you appear in — and which ones your competitors own.
One fixed project to build the foundation properly. Monthly upkeep only if you want us to keep watching it.
Profile changes can move things within weeks; citations and reviews take two to three months to settle. Competitive cities take longer, and we say so before you start.
Never. We build a flow that makes it easy for real customers to leave feedback, and we help you respond well. Bought reviews are a suspension risk, not a strategy.
Because the heavy lifting genuinely is one-off. Once the profile, citations, and schema are right, many businesses only need occasional upkeep — charging monthly for that would be dishonest.
Watching listings for changes, responding to reviews, posting profile updates, and reporting grid position. It's optional, and you can stop it at any time.
Yes — manager access to the Business Profile, and website access for schema and location pages. Ownership stays with you throughout.
That's a standard part of the work. Duplicates get merged or removed and conflicting details are corrected across directories.
Yes. Service-area configuration is handled differently to a storefront, and getting that distinction right is one of the common setup mistakes we fix.
Grid-based rank tracking across your city, so you see which neighbourhoods you rank in rather than a single averaged position — plus calls and direction requests from the profile.
Yes, and for multi-location businesses it usually should. Local handles the map pack; Full-Cycle handles the organic results beneath it.
You keep everything — profile ownership, listings, schema, pages, and the documentation of every credential and decision.
