Local SEO

Local SEO services that put you in the Map Pack

If customers search “near me” and find your competitor, you are losing the highest-intent traffic there is. We fix that — Google Business Profile, reviews, citations, location pages and local links — for US and UK businesses.

Why local SEO wins

  • 97% of consumers read reviews for local businesses — and 41% now read them every time (BrightLocal, 2026).
  • 45% now ask AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity for local recommendations — up from 6% a year earlier (BrightLocal, 2026).
  • 93% of local-intent searches trigger a Map Pack, and the pack takes roughly 42–44% of clicks (Moz, Backlinko).
  • In the Map Pack, pin #1 takes ~47% of clicks — position 4 is effectively invisible (Visionary Marketing, 2026).
  • 47% of consumers won’t use a business with fewer than 20 reviews, and 74% only weigh reviews from the last 3 months (BrightLocal, 2026).
  • Businesses with 50+ reviews are 266% more likely to appear in the Local Pack (BrightLocal/Shopify, 2026).
  • 78% of mobile local searches lead to an offline visit within 24 hours (Visionary Marketing, 2026).

What we do

  • Google Business Profile: full optimisation — categories, services, attributes, posts, Q&A and photos.
  • Reviews: a repeatable review-velocity system (the single biggest Map-Pack lever).
  • Citations & NAP: consistent listings across Yelp, BBB, Bing, Apple and industry directories.
  • Location pages: a dedicated, schema-rich page per city and service — materially unique, not templated.
  • Local links: editorial mentions and sponsorships that build local prominence.
  • AI visibility: FAQ/AEO structure so ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews cite you for “best [service] in [city]”.

We run this on our own site

Guided Success Academy isn’t theory. We run this exact playbook on our own site — here’s our own Google Search Console data, unedited:

15,668
impressions · last 90 days
42
clicks · avg position ~16
0.27%
our own CTR — the bottleneck we fix

Like many sites, our own bottleneck is CTR — impressions without clicks. That’s the exact Revenue-Leak problem we fix: same data, same method, on our own property first. We don’t sell a service we don’t use.

Frequently asked questions

What is local SEO?

Local SEO is how a business wins Google’s Map Pack and local results for searches like “dentist in Austin” or “emergency plumber near me”. It is driven by your Google Business Profile, reviews, citations, location pages and local links.

How much does local SEO cost?

GSA local SEO starts with a $99 Local Leak Audit, then $499/month for the Starter programme and $999–$1,499/month for Growth. Multi-location businesses are quoted separately.

How long until I rank in the Map Pack?

Most local businesses see Map-Pack movement in 30–90 days once the Google Business Profile, reviews, citations and location pages are in place. We commit to process, not guaranteed positions.

Do you work with US and UK businesses?

Yes — the US and UK are our primary markets, with India as an add-on. Pricing is shown in USD and GBP.

What do you do each month?

Google Business Profile optimisation and posts, citation building, review-velocity campaigns, location pages, local link building — plus a monthly report tracking Map-Pack movement, calls and direction requests.
