Local SEO &
Google Business Profile
agency.

We're a boutique local SEO agency focused on one thing: searches that make your phone ring. Full Google Business Profile optimization, map pack rankings, and on-site alignment for service businesses. One high-intent search for "emergency HVAC repair" is worth more than a month of vanity metrics.

We chase revenue.
Not vanity metrics.

Most SEO agencies will hand you a traffic report and call it a win. We don't. Because a thousand visitors who never call mean nothing, and one high-intent search for "emergency HVAC repair" that converts is worth more than a month of vanity metrics.

At SEOArmy, we build local SEO strategies around what actually moves the needle: the searches that make your phone ring. Calls, form submissions, booked jobs, and revenue tied directly to the organic presence we build for you.

Your Google Business Profile, your website, your citations, and your reviews all have to work as one system. We align every signal Google uses to decide who shows up in the map pack, and we do it every month, because local SEO is a living system, not a one-time project. And because local visibility increasingly overlaps with AI search, we build your authority for both engines at once.

Why map pack matters

46%

Of all Google searches have local intent. For service businesses with physical service areas, the map pack isn't a nice-to-have, it's prime real estate. The top 3 spots get the majority of clicks, calls, and direction requests.

  • Top map pack result gets 44% of all clicks
  • 88% of local mobile searches result in a call or visit within 24 hours
  • "Near me" searches have grown 500%+ over the last 5 years
  • Map pack conversions cost a fraction of paid search CPA

Every signal Google uses
to rank you, optimized monthly.

Most businesses set their Google Business Profile once and forget it. We treat it like the living, breathing sales tool it actually is, because in local search, the map pack is prime real estate, and we intend to own it for you.

01

Google Business Profile optimization

Your GBP is the most underutilized asset in local search. We rebuild it from the ground up, primary and secondary categories, service menus, service area definition, attributes, Q&A, products, and booking integration. Then we maintain it every month with fresh posts, new photos, and optimization for the latest signals Google is weighting.

02

On-site local SEO alignment

Your website and your GBP have to sing from the same sheet of music. We align your NAP (name, address, phone), schema markup, location pages, service pages, and internal linking with the exact signals your GBP is broadcasting. Agencies that only focus on one are leaving rankings on the table.

03

Review velocity & reputation management

Google rewards businesses with consistent, recent, high-quality reviews. We build review generation workflows tied directly to your customer journey, respond to every review (the good and the bad) with SEO-optimized responses, and handle reputation repair when it's needed.

04

Money keyword strategy

Not all search traffic is equal. Our data shows local searches for high-ticket services, HVAC installs, roofing replacements, addiction treatment, surgical procedures, carry extraordinary commercial value per click. These aren't browsing searches. They're buying searches. We identify the money keywords in your market and build your authority around them.

05

Local citations & directory cleanup

Inconsistent business listings across the web confuse Google and tank your rankings. We audit every citation across the major data aggregators, clean up duplicates, fix wrong phone numbers or addresses, and build new citations on the platforms that actually move the needle for your vertical.

06

Call tracking & ROI measurement

Every call, every form submission, every booked appointment tracked back to the search that generated it. We integrate call tracking numbers into your GBP and website, tie organic conversions to revenue in your CRM, and report ROI monthly, so you know exactly what your local SEO is worth.

Most businesses set their GBP and forget it. We treat it like a living, breathing sales tool. Because in local search, the map pack is prime real estate, and we intend to own it for you.

From day one
to market dominance.

We're confident enough in our approach to prove it before you pay for it. Qualified businesses get the first month free, no strings, no pressure. Here's how that month unfolds.

01

Full audit

A complete audit of your GBP, website, local rankings, citations, and review profile. We document every gap, every missed opportunity, and every quick win, with specific URLs, keywords, and priority rankings.

02

Competitive analysis

We map the top 5-10 competitors in your local market. Where they rank, what they're doing differently, what gaps they're leaving open. Your playbook is built around what actually works in your specific market, not a template.

03

Keyword mapping

Every money keyword in your market identified and scored by commercial value. We build a keyword-to-page map that covers your priority services, service areas, and high-intent buyer queries, structured to compound over time.

04

ROI projection

Before you commit to a long-term engagement, we deliver a clear ROI projection: expected lead volume, projected call volume, realistic timeline, and cost per acquisition vs. paid alternatives. If the numbers make sense, we move forward. If they don't, we'll tell you.

Traffic is a byproduct.
Revenue is the goal.

Every metric we report ladders directly to something you can take to the bank. No rankings screenshots, no impression dashboards, no vanity.

01

Calls & form submissions from local search

Tracked at the source, tied to the exact keyword or GBP action that generated the contact.

02

Map pack visibility for high-intent keywords

Position tracking for the queries that drive real buying behavior, not vanity keywords.

03

Revenue attributed to organic search

Integrated with your CRM, so every dollar from local SEO is traceable to its source.

04

Cost per lead vs. paid alternatives

Direct comparison with your Google Ads and LSA spend so you know what's actually cheapest.

05

ROI against your monthly retainer

Net-of-fees return reported monthly. The only number that matters in the final analysis.

Local SEO
FAQs.

Google Business Profile optimization usually shows movement within 30 days, map pack positions shift fast. Broader on-site SEO compounds over 3-6 months. Most clients see meaningful lead flow within the first 60-90 days, with significant compounding at the 6-month mark. Many clients pair local SEO with paid lead generation to fill the pipeline during the ramp-up. We give you a realistic timeline in the ROI projection before any commitment.
No ethical SEO agency can guarantee specific rankings, Google's algorithm has too many variables outside any agency's control. What we guarantee is execution: we'll do the work, optimize every signal, and report transparently on what's working. In most markets, our clients do land in the map pack for their priority keywords, but we promise effort and quality, not specific positions.
Local SEO focuses on geographic-intent queries, "plumber near me," "best HVAC company in Phoenix," "emergency dentist." The signals Google uses are different: proximity, GBP signals, citations, local links, and reviews carry more weight. Regular (national) SEO focuses on topical authority for non-geographic queries. For service businesses with physical service areas, local SEO is almost always higher ROI than broad national SEO.
No. We offer category exclusivity by geographic market. If we take on an HVAC company in Phoenix, we won't take on another HVAC company in Phoenix for the duration of our engagement. That's part of why we only accept a limited number of clients, and part of why we can deliver real results.
Multi-location businesses are actually an ideal fit for our approach. Each location gets its own GBP optimization, location-specific landing page, and local citation strategy, while sharing your domain's authority and brand signals. We've built the playbook for single-location businesses up through regional operators with 20+ locations.
Every engagement is custom-quoted based on project complexity, the traffic and lead value in your market, average lifetime customer value, our service costs, and other factors specific to your business. Qualified prospects get a detailed proposal during their free first month. Every qualified prospect gets a custom ROI projection and full scope breakdown before any commitment, with a free first month so both sides can confirm the fit before signing.
