FAQ
Google Business & local SEO FAQs
How much does local SEO cost?
Between $200 and $800 USD as a one-time setup, or A$300 to A$1,100. Ongoing work is optional and usually runs $150 to $500 USD a month depending on how many locations you have and how competitive your category is. A single plumber in a mid-size town needs far less monthly work than a dental group with four clinics in a capital city.
How long until we rank in the map pack?
Expect three to six months for a competitive term in a metro area, and two to eight weeks for a less contested suburb. Profile completeness and review volume move fastest. Citation cleanup and on-page work take longer to show. Anyone promising first position in 30 days is either targeting a term nobody searches for or planning to game the system, which gets listings suspended.
Can you guarantee we will appear first on Google Maps?
No, and nobody can. Map rankings depend on proximity to the searcher, review count and recency, category accuracy, and what competitors are doing that month. What we control is the full set of signals you can influence. We will show you the ranking movement week by week so you can judge the work on evidence rather than promises.
We already have a Business Profile. Is this still worth doing?
Usually yes, because most profiles we audit have at least three fixable problems: the wrong primary category, services listed as products, hours that no longer match reality, or unanswered reviews going back two years. Fixing those costs very little and lifts visibility. We will audit yours first and tell you plainly if the profile is already in good shape and you should spend the money elsewhere.
Do reviews count, and can you get us more?
Reviews are one of the strongest local signals, and they need to come from real customers. We write the request wording, set up a short link, and add a QR code for your counter or invoice. We do not buy reviews or write them on your behalf. Fake reviews get filtered or trigger a suspension, and recovering from a suspension takes weeks.
What happens after the setup is finished?
You keep full ownership of the profile, the citations and the landing page. The first 30 days of support are included, which covers anything that does not work as agreed. Local SEO is not a one-time job in practice, because competitors publish, hours change and Google keeps altering the interface, so most clients take the monthly option once they see the first ranking report.
