Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Local SEO and how it can transform your business.
How long does it take to see Local SEO results?
Most businesses see initial improvements within 4-8 weeks, with significant Map Pack ranking improvements by 3 months. Highly competitive markets may take 4-6 months for top 3 positions. The key is consistent optimization and strategic citation building.
What is the Google Business Profile and why is it important?
Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is your free business listing on Google. It's critical because it directly controls your appearance in the Map Pack and local search results. A fully optimized GBP can increase calls by 70% and drive 3x more website visits.
How many reviews do I need to rank well locally?
While there's no magic number, businesses with 40+ reviews typically earn 54% more revenue. Review velocity (how quickly you get new reviews) and recency matter more than total count. I recommend aiming for 2-4 new reviews per month minimum.
What are citations and why do they matter?
Citations are online mentions of your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) on other websites and directories. They build location signals that help Google verify your business and improve local rankings. Consistent citations across 50+ directories significantly impact rankings.
Do I need a website for Local SEO?
While you can rank with just a GBP, having a website significantly improves results and conversion rates. A website gives you control over your messaging, allows for location-specific pages, and provides a place to send traffic from your GBP. I recommend having at least a basic website for best results.
