Local SEO
Local SEO that puts your business on the map.
When someone nearby searches for what you do (or asks an AI assistant), you want to be the answer. We optimize your Google Business Profile, fix what's holding you back, and build the local signals that move you into the map pack. Based in Eugene, built for Lane County and beyond.
Why it matters
If you're not in the top results, you're not in the conversation.
Local SEO is how nearby customers find you instead of your competitor. People searching"near me" don’t scroll: they tap one of the first few results and start calling. And increasingly, they don't search the old way at all: they ask an AI assistant and trust the answer. If your business isn't in either place, the work is going to whoever is.

Plain-English reporting on rankings and calls, and we adjust as the data comes in.
Anticipate
Your customers are starting to ask AI before they ask Google.
More than half of searches now end without a click, answered by AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity before anyone visits a website. Here's the good news: the same work that ranks you in local search is what gets you cited by AI. Clear, authoritative content. Clean structure and schema. Consistent business information. Real reviews. We build for both, so when someone asks an assistant"who's the best [what you do] near me," your name is in the answer.
Straight talk: no one can guarantee an AI citation: anyone who promises one is bluffing. What we can do is stack the odds in your favor and show you where you're showing up.
The honest timeline
What to expect, and when.
SEO is a lot like the gym: you don't see much the first few weeks, a couple of months in things start to move, and a few months after that you're seeing the results you came for. Here's the realistic path, so nothing's a surprise.
Audit, Google Business Profile, citations, and technical fixes. Groundwork, not fireworks.
Rankings start to climb on the terms that matter, and the map pack comes into reach.
Visibility turns into calls and bookings you can feel, and we double down on what’s working.
The gains stack. Month six is easier than month one, and the lead keeps widening.

Is it for you?
Local SEO is a fit for some businesses, not all.
- Serve customers in a defined area, or have a clear audience you want to reach online.
- Rely on being found on Google and Maps to get calls and bookings.
- Have a website that can convert the traffic, or are ready to fix that.
- Can give it a few months: SEO compounds; it isn’t an overnight switch.
- Expect to be #1 next week. No honest agency promises that.
- Want a one-time"set it and forget it." Local SEO is ongoing by nature.
- Won't keep your business info, posts, and reviews active with us.
- Are shopping purely on the lowest monthly price.
Who you'll talk to
Talk to a founder, not a salesperson.
When you reach out, you get me (Sahen, a co-founder), not a junior account manager reading a script. I'll tell you honestly whether local SEO is your fastest win or whether your money's better spent elsewhere first, even if that’s not us.
Tell us what you're working onThe other half
Traffic is only half the job.
SEO brings the right people to your door. If your site doesn't turn them into calls and bookings, that traffic is wasted, which is why we build SEO on top of a site that’s made to convert. Most clients pair the two, and some hand us the whole system to run. And once the phone starts ringing, whether a ranking becomes revenue depends on every call getting answered: that’s the systems work in business solutions.
What it costs
Local SEO starts at $500/month.
Where you land depends on how competitive your market is and how fast you want to move: three tiers, from establishing your local presence to competing hard in a crowded market. We ask for a short initial commitment, because SEO needs a few months to show its work, then it’s month-to-month. You'll see the plan and the price before you commit.
Before you commit
Straight answers about local SEO.
How long until I see results from local SEO?
First movement often shows in weeks; meaningful, steady results usually build over three to six months. SEO compounds — month six is easier than month one, and the gains keep working as long as you do.
Can you guarantee I'll rank #1 on Google?
No. Anyone who guarantees a #1 ranking isn’t being honest with you. What we promise is consistent, measurable improvement and plain-English reporting on exactly where you stand.
I serve a wider area or sell online. Does this still apply?
Yes. Most of our clients serve a local area, but the same foundation extends to a wider radius or a national audience, like a coach who trains both in-studio and virtually. We scope it to where your customers actually are.
What's the difference between SEO and AI search?
SEO is about ranking in Google's results. AI search (sometimes called AEO or GEO) is about getting cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. Same foundation, broader target: we build for both.
Do I own my accounts and data?
Yes: your Google Business Profile, your website, your reviews, your reporting, all in your name. If we ever part ways, it all stays with you.
Is there a long contract?
A short initial commitment so the work has time to land, then month-to-month. No multi-year lock-in: if we’re not earning it, you can go.
