Local SEO services with pricing by number of locations

What actually moves local rankings

According to Google's own help page on local ranking, local results are driven by relevance, distance and prominence.

The work happens in relevance and prominence: the right primary category, a complete services list, accurate hours, real photos and reviews that get answered.

That is why we do not promise a map position. Two people searching from different streets see different results, so a single rank number is not a meaningful local metric. We work on what you control: category, details, photos and reviews.

What our Google Business Profile management includes

For a business people walk into, the profile often matters more than the website: it is where customers find your phone number, directions and reviews. The table separates where each part of the work happens.

How a local SEO engagement runs

If a profile already exists, nothing new is created. We connect to it with your authorization and ownership stays with you.

Google recommends working with only one third party at a time, because your business can only appear once on Google (Google Business Profile Help: working with third parties).

Google Business Profile management, field by field

Every empty field is a missing relevance signal. A wrong primary category can keep you out of the exact search you want; outdated hours send customers to a closed door, and they write about it.

Setup completes these fields:

• Primary and secondary categories chosen to match real services.
• Services and opening hours kept current, including special hours.
• Real photos of the premises.
• Google posts: updates, events and offers.

NAP consistency

NAP stands for name, address and phone. They should be written identically on your profile, your website and directories.

"St." versus "Street" or a phone number in a different format looks minor, but it can make one business look like two records and split the local signal.

We settle on one official spelling and apply it everywhere. On your own site, our AI visibility audit checks whether business identity and contact details are visible on the home page:

• Is an Organization or LocalBusiness schema defined?
• Can a phone number, email or address be found on the page?

Review replies with a human in the loop

Reviews feed prominence, but more importantly they are a public conversation. A reply on Google stays under the review, and the next customer reads it.

Replies are toned by star rating:

• 1 and 2 stars: an apology and a fix.
• 3 stars: solution-focused; this customer was not pleased, but not angry either.
• 4 and 5 stars: a warm thank-you.

We do not auto-reply to negative reviews. At three stars and below, a draft is prepared and a person approves it, and the server enforces that rule too. Negative reviews get a response within 24 hours.

Drafts are scanned against your sector's prohibited claims and your own banned list, and risky phrases are flagged. In regulated fields like healthcare or law even one sentence can count as advertising.

For four and five stars, sending without approval can be switched on if the risk scan is clean. Wider tracking of brand mentions runs under online reputation management.

Posts and Google's own metrics

The post screen publishes three types and asks for required fields up front, because Google rejects incomplete requests:

• Update: text of at least 10 and at most 1,500 characters.
• Event: a title and a start date are required.
• Offer: a coupon code or an offer link is required.

Each published post shows its live Google link, so you know it went out without searching for it. Google also reviews posts, and a post stays pending while the profile is unverified (Business Profile posts).

If your Instagram account is connected, you can bring an Instagram post over. The text is trimmed to Google's limit and edited on screen before publishing, so a pile of hashtags never lands on your profile. Instagram itself runs under social media management.

Multi-location pricing

Location count drives the fee because each location is its own Google listing and review stream. The steps are one location, a cluster of up to 5, city scale up to 20 and chains up to 100.

Locations are pulled live from Google, so opening a new branch does not require reconnecting. Each location keeps its own profile work and review stream, so a lagging branch does not disappear into an average.

• Included: profile completion, one official NAP spelling, review replies, posts, per-location management, monthly report.
• Not included: ad spend, on-site photo shoots, any promise to remove reviews.
• Networks above 100 locations are quoted. The chart comes from our pricing engine, matches the scope builder and excludes VAT.

AgentFabrica, an agency or a freelancer

All three can work. Which one fits depends on your number of locations, whether you need on-site photos and how busy your review stream is.

If you want on-site photography and a citation team, an agency fits better. If you have one location and someone who knows the area is enough, a good freelancer will do.

Our strength is work run location by location, human-approved review replies and a published price. The month-end report is built on our reporting engine.
