Overview

93% of homeowners search Google before calling a trade business

Most of them never scroll past the Map Pack — the three businesses Google shows at the top with a map. If you're not in it, you don't exist to the homeowner with an emergency.

Local SEO for trade businesses isn't the same as SEO for an e-commerce store or a blog. It's built on three things: a fully optimized Google Business Profile, consistent business citations across the directories Google trusts, and content that targets the exact searches your customers actually type — "emergency plumber Terre Haute" not "plumbing services."

We rank trade businesses specifically. That means we know which keywords convert into calls versus which just generate traffic, and we build your strategy around the former.

Scope of work

What's included in the SEO build-out

Google Business Profile optimization

Full setup or audit — categories, service areas, photos, Q&A, posts, and booking links optimized for trade searches.

Keyword strategy

Research into the exact terms customers in your service area use, prioritized by call-conversion potential.

Citation building

Consistent business listings across 40+ directories (Yelp, Angi, BBB, HomeAdvisor, and trade-specific sites) so Google trusts your NAP data.

On-page optimization

Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, and schema markup tuned for local service searches.

Service-area pages

Dedicated landing pages for each city or county you serve, each targeting its own local search intent.

Monthly ranking reports

Plain-English reports showing keyword position changes, Map Pack visibility, and what we're doing next.

Fine print

The details that matter

  • Local SEO is included in Rank and Dominate plans; not available as a standalone service below those tiers.
  • Ranking timelines are estimates based on typical trade-business results, not guarantees — search algorithms change.
  • Citation building targets directories relevant to your trade and country; international directories are out of scope.
  • Results depend in part on review volume and response time, which are partially outside our control.
