Local SEO for Brick and Mortar Businesses

For coffee shops, restaurants, retailers, law firms, consulting agencies, salons, clinics, and more—the battleground is local: map pack visibility, accurate info, and proof that you’re the best nearby option. Our program is built to drive foot traffic, calls, directions, bookings, and walk-in revenue.

Who this is for

  • Hospitality & food: coffee shops, restaurants, bars, bakeries
  • Professional services: law firms, consulting agencies, accountants
  • Retail & specialty shops: boutiques, hardware, electronics, wellness
  • Health & personal care: dental/medical, salons, spas, gyms

What you get

    • Google Business Profile (GBP) optimization: primary/secondary categories, services/products or menus, bookings/reservations, attributes, hours (incl. holiday hours), photos, Q&A, Posts cadence, and messaging.
    • Location & service pages: conversion-first copy, local proof (photos, team, neighborhood landmarks), internal linking, and LocalBusiness/Service schema.
    • Reviews & reputation: request flow (QR, SMS/email), response playbooks, and on-site review widgets—measured for volume, rating, and keywords.
    • NAP & citations: accuracy and duplicates clean-up across major directories + niche verticals.
    • Local links & PR: chambers, neighborhood orgs, events, sponsorships, and vendor/partner features that build prominence.
    • Speed & UX: Core Web Vitals fixes so map visitors land on fast pages with clear CTAs (call, directions, reserve, order).
    • Analytics & tracking: GA4 + GSC + GBP Insights, UTM on CTAs, call tracking, reservation/order events, and “directions” clicks reporting.
