intro to local search
What is Local SEO?
SEO has continued to become more and more local (specific to the area someone is in when they're searching) over the years, to the point where 96% of consumers use search engines to try and find local businesses and half of all searches are local searches.
In order to account for these changes and capture the rapidly growing number of "near me" and other proximity-based searches, your business must put a strong, specific focus on local SEO, which is different from traditional SEO.
The goal of local SEO is to gain visibility in the "map pack" and top organic positions for local service and product-based searches within every market area you serve (not just the area where you have a physical location or primary focus).
If your business has a physical location or serves specific local market areas – even if you're a "national" brand – then you MUST invest in Local SEO in order to rank over your competition.

Local SEO Process
How Does Local SEO Work?
Local SEO Research
By researching your market, your competition, and the exact terms and phrases your ideal customers are searching for, we can get a crystal clear understanding of what pages your site needs to have and what content needs to be placed on those pages in order to rank #1.
SEO-Optimized Sitemap
The second step of our local SEO process is to take the raw data and create a search-optimized sitemap for your website. This sitemap serves as a visual game plan for your website's pages, sub-pages, and keyword targeting.
Dominate Google My Business (GMB)
Step three of our local SEO process is to make sure your Google My Business profile is claimed and optimized. Making sure your Google My Business listing is perfectly optimized is the key to getting your business to show up in the coveted "map pack" for local searches.
Rank Service & Product Pages Locally
Once your Google My Business profile is correctly optimized, we turn our attention to your website. We follow the sitemap we created earlier and start building out all the necessary services pages and sub-pages your site needs to have and we make sure each one is perfectly optimized to rank.
Rank Service Area Pages (SAPs)
You can only rank in the "map pack" in cities where you have a physical location. But, what about all the surrounding areas you serve? We rank #1 in those "service areas" by creating strategic Service Area Pages (SAPs) for each geographic region.
Increase Brand Trust Signals
As we continue adding service pages and Service Area Pages, we work to increase your brand trust and brand prominence in the market. At the end of the day, Google prefers trusted brands over all others, so we work to make sure that your brand is elevated as much as possible.
Track & Optimize
As you would expect, the entire local SEO campaign we run for your business is tracked meticulously. We analyze daily ranking updates, traffic reports, and brand signal reports to make sure everything is always trending in the right direction and we report these results to you for full transparency.

The Leads Are Already Coming In
I hired Digital Gravy to build the website for our brand new fence company. The whole process was seamless. They built a clean, simple website for us that just works. Immediately after we launched the site we set up some PPC ads and we're already booking jobs. Very happy with the results!

Local SEO Questions & Answers
With half of all searches being local searches, local SEO is critical for getting your small business in front of the consumers who want and need your services. Even if you're a national service brand, the only way to gain national search visibility is with local SEO.
Unlike traditional SEO, results can be achieved at a local level in a matter of weeks verses months or years. That's not to say that *all* results are achieved in weeks, but traction in local happens much faster and continues to build over time. A good goal is to dominate local search within 12 months.
Every local SEO campaign is different because the scope changes depending on where a business is currently at and what their market demands. Small businesses should expect to pay $1000/mo to $5000/mo on the lower end. A tremendous amount of work goes into doing SEO the right way and the return on investment is extremely high when the ranking objectives start getting met.
Nothing in the world of SEO is guaranteed. All we can guarantee is that we will follow best practices and leverage every ounce of our experience and expertise to get you results.
Local SEO is critical for service-based businesses, whether you're confined to a geographic area or are a national service brand. This is because service-based searches are almost always local in nature.
As for product-based businesses, local SEO is critical if you sell to a specific geographic area. National product-based businesses who can sell to any given region are better off with a traditional SEO campaign.

The first thing we always do for new local SEO clients is an SEO Discovery campaign which consists of an SEO audit of your existing website; market research, competitor research, and keyword research; the creation of a search-optimized sitemap; and a strategy session to review our findings. A discovery campaign runs $750 to $1250 and will reveal the SEO potential for your business, define a clear strategy for the campaign, and help us getting a better understanding of the overall campaign cost to achieve our objectives.
If the campaign ends and results are unsatisfactory, we will extend your campaign for an additional 6 months at no cost to you. Our mission is to get you results and we will continue to fight for the growth of your business, even if we have to do it free of charge. Thankfully, we've never had to do this with any client, but this commitment to excellence and results still stands as our guarantee.
