(01)What is the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?
Local SEO targets searches with geographic intent and competes for the map pack as well as the organic results. It depends heavily on your Google Business Profile, listing consistency and reviews, which do not affect standard organic rankings at all.
(02)Can you handle more than one location?
Yes. We currently manage over 30 live locations across client accounts, including a multi-location dental group and a multi-site pharmacy group.
(03)How long before we appear in the map pack?
Profile improvements can move things within weeks. Competitive terms in dense areas take longer. We track map pack position by area rather than as a single national number, because it changes street by street.
(04)Does our address affect rankings?
Yes, significantly. Proximity to the searcher is one of the strongest local ranking factors, which is why one office cannot rank everywhere and anyone claiming otherwise is selling something.
(05)What if we have no storefront?
You set up as a service area business, hide the address and rely on profile configuration, reviews and page coverage. It works, it just works differently.
(06)How important are reviews?
Very. They influence both ranking and whether anyone clicks you over the listing above. Review generation is part of local SEO, not a separate service.
