Overview
How the map pack is actually won
Google Business Profile optimization, service-area pages, technical fixes and local citations — the work that gets you into the three-result map pack and keeps you there.
When someone in Ferndale searches "furnace repair near me," Google shows three businesses in a map before anything else. Those three get most of the calls. Everyone below them splits what is left.
Local SEO is the work of becoming one of those three. It is unglamorous and it compounds: a correctly categorized Google Business Profile, a real page for each service in each city you cover, consistent name-address-phone details across the directories Google cross-checks, structured data that spells out who you are, and a technical foundation that does not leak crawl budget.
We do that work monthly and report on what moved. No jargon dashboards nobody reads — a one-page summary of rankings, calls and what we are doing next.
Best fit for
- Service businesses covering multiple metro Detroit suburbs
- Practices competing against national directory listings
- Anyone invisible on Google Maps outside their own city
- Businesses whose paid ads work but cost more every year
What you end up with
- Map pack visibility in the towns you actually serve
- More calls and form fills from organic search
- A Google Business Profile that is complete and active
- Technical errors cleared and staying cleared
- A clear monthly read on what your money bought
What is included
Everything in local SEO
No line items held back for an upsell conversation later.
Google Business Profile overhaul
Categories, service list, service area, hours, photos and Q&A set up properly — then posted to regularly, because activity is a ranking signal most businesses ignore.
Service-area pages
A genuine page for each service in each town you cover, written to be useful rather than spun. This is how you rank in Troy when your address says Royal Oak.
Technical SEO fixes
Crawl errors, duplicate titles, broken redirects, slow templates, missing schema, orphaned pages. We fix what is quietly capping your ceiling.
Citations & consistency
Your name, address and phone made identical across the directories and data aggregators Google uses to verify a local business is real.
Review generation system
A simple, compliant flow for asking happy customers at the right moment, plus response templates. Review velocity moves map rankings faster than almost anything else.
Monthly reporting in plain English
Where you rank for the terms that matter, how many calls and forms came in, what we did last month and what is queued next. One page, no jargon.
