We claim, verify, and fully build out your Google Business Profile if it isn't already set up correctly.

Category & Service Optimization

Primary and secondary categories, service list, attributes, and business description tuned for local search relevance.

Storefront, team, and product photos uploaded and geo-tagged to strengthen your profile's visual signals.

Your name, address, and phone number verified for consistency across your website and top directories.

Monthly Google Posts

Up to 4 Google Posts a month to keep your profile active and give customers a reason to click through.

Review Monitoring & Response

We track new reviews and give you ready-to-use response templates so nothing goes unanswered.

Built for single-location businesses that just need to be found nearby

You have one physical location and serve customers nearby
Your business isn't showing up in the Google Map Pack for the searches that matter
You don't need (or aren't ready for) a full website redesign
You want a lower-cost, focused entry point into local SEO

Common problems we fix

Profile was set up years ago and never touched since — missing categories, hours, or photos.
Competitors show up in the Map Pack before you do, even for your own business name.
Business name, address, or phone number is listed differently across the web.
Reviews are coming in but nobody's responding, or there aren't enough to build trust.

Questions about Starter Local SEO

Still deciding if this is the right package? Here's what people usually ask.

Do I need a new website for this?

No. Starter Local SEO is built entirely around your Google Business Profile, not your website. If your site needs work down the line, that's a separate conversation — this package gets you Maps visibility first.

How long until I see results?

Most businesses see initial movement in Map Pack visibility within 4-6 weeks of the profile being fully optimized. Local SEO compounds over time, so consistent posting and review activity continues to help month over month.

What's NOT included in Starter?

This tier doesn't include website SEO, link building, or multi-location management. If you have more than one location or need broader organic search work, our Standard or Growth packages are a better fit.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes — Starter is meant to be a straightforward entry point. If you outgrow it or decide you need website-level SEO as well, we can move you into a larger package without starting over.
