Be #1 in Google™ Maps

We’ll call you on the phone to discuss phrase priorities i.e. what you want to rank for, and for what city.

Typically, as part of the package, we do research into keyphrase variations.

We’ll try to always get some “quick wins” less competitive phrases first, so you get some business flowing, then move more competitive keyphrases.

Our goal is for you to be #1 on maps.google.com, which means if a “3 pack” or “5 pack” displays, you’ll be highly ranked in the google main search or appearing high with a local / city modifier, if one does not show automatically.

At first, we need it to be for the city you’re actually in.

If you have multiple locations, then yes, we can rank all of them over time – i.e. 1 business with multiple locations.

We can also set up “satellite businesses’ using another location and/or another domain in some cases (we’ll have to discuss, is not automatically included but is an option).

Google uses distance to city as a factor. Trying to rank for “Los Angeles Dentist” will be impossible if you’re actually located in Long Beach (a distant suburb), but ranking you for Long Beach Dentist is exactly what we can do.

Yes, this is common, though they should be topically related.

Google knows what topics are related, and this is a factor.

We’ll usually start tracking 3-5 keyphrases, then expand over time.

You can quit and resume anytime. There’s no lock-in contract.

If you are pretty firmly at 1st position for the phrases you want, and confident nobody is “gunning for you”, you can quit anytime. There’s no lock-in contract.

If you do resume, however, be advised the setup fee will apply, because we re-audit the case, and start fresh.

After initial setup, we’ll periodically check in with you just to check the quality of leads and what you want more of or less of.

Also, optimizing your profile by adding photos, news, sales, reviews is helpful so we do recommend you pay some attention to this – we’ll make it easy by periodically sending you your link.

We also have reviews packages (separate), which clone a review from 1 location (say, Facebook) to other locations (i.e. Google, or from Google to Yelp + Facebook) – this is “reputation management” but there’s some overlap here: better reputation = more clicks.

On an ROI basis, it’s fairly common; for absolute traffic it is dropping, due to voice and AI. Marketing is always evolving.

It also has to do with page layout, and the search term, and the device.
