Search · Local SEO
Local search and SEO that nearby customers can find.
Three different things get called SEO. One sets up your Google presence so people nearby find you. One adds a page for a specific town or service. One is an ongoing campaign for businesses competing for the same searches as someone else. Here is what each one is, what it costs, and which one you probably need.
What you get: a Google Business Profile that is complete and optimized, your name, address and phone consistent across the directories Google checks, Search Console verified and reporting, and a written map of the searches that matter for your business — plus, if you go on to SEO Growth, monthly work and a monthly report on what moved.
Who this is for
Businesses that depend on customers nearby: a contractor, a clinic, a restaurant, a cleaning or landscaping company, anyone whose customer types a service and a town into Google. Businesses whose Google profile exists but was never finished. Businesses whose website is “there” but does not show up. If a customer has ever told you “I couldn’t find you online,” this is the service.

Three things, priced separately
Local Search Setup — $950, one-time
Google Business Profile optimization, local keyword mapping, directory and citation setup, and checks that your name, address and phone match everywhere Google looks. Search Console verified and indexing confirmed.
Service-area page — $350 each
One page written and built for a specific town or service: Norwalk, Greenwich, a trade you want to be known for. Bought one at a time, added only where it makes sense — never a batch of doorway pages.
SEO Growth — from $950 a month
Ongoing work for businesses competing for organic visibility. Local search work, technical upkeep, competitor and ranking monitoring, monthly reporting, and one written page or post each month. Three-month minimum; additional content quoted separately.
With every site I build
Foundational SEO, included
This is what makes a site ready to be found. It comes with every site I build, at no extra cost. It is not a ranking campaign — that is SEO Growth above — and it does not come with a migration, which moves an existing site rather than building one.
- Page structure and heading hierarchy
- Title tag and meta description on every page
- Clean, readable URLs and internal linking
- Image alt text and sensible file naming
- XML sitemap generated and submitted
- Google Search Console set up and verified
- Analytics installed and reporting
- Indexing checks, so pages actually appear
- Mobile rendering and load speed verified
- Business name, address and phone marked up

Questions about search
Local search setup is $950, one-time. A service-area page is $350. SEO Growth is from $950 a month with a three-month minimum. Foundational SEO — the on-page basics — is included with every site I build, at no extra cost.
You need it if you are competing for the same searches as someone else nearby. If you are not, the one-time local setup is usually enough, and I will say so after the review.
The foundational part is: page structure, titles and descriptions, sitemap, Search Console, analytics, indexing checks and structured data for your business. It is not included with a migration, which moves an existing site rather than building one, and it is not a ranking campaign.
Google Business Profile changes usually show within weeks. Organic search takes months, and nobody honest promises a position. What you get is a report of what was done and what moved, so you can decide whether to keep going.
Yes. The review comes first, because a site that cannot be indexed properly needs fixing before any search work is worth paying for. If that is the case, you will hear it before you spend anything on setup.
