Show up when people nearby search for what you do
For most local searches, Google shows a map and three businesses before any website. Getting into that spot depends on how complete and active your Business Profile is, how consistent your details are across the web, and what your reviews say.
What is local SEO?
Local SEO is the work that helps a business show up when people nearby search for what it sells, mainly in Google's map results. A2B completes and maintains your Google Business Profile, corrects your listings on other directories so they agree, and adds location and service pages to your website.
How do you manage a Google Business Profile?
Correct categories, services, hours, photos, products and a description that sounds like you. Then regular posts and photo updates so the profile stays active, plus fast answers to questions people leave on it.
Why do directory listings need to match?
Your name, address, phone and hours should read the same on Google, Apple Maps, Bing, Facebook, Yelp and the directories that matter for your industry. We find the old and duplicate listings and clean them up.
Do local pages on my website help?
Pages for your services and the areas you cover, written for people rather than for search engines, so the profile and the site support each other.

Questions about Local SEO & listings
How long does local SEO take to work?
Fixes to a profile can show up in weeks. Moving up in competitive map results usually takes months and depends heavily on reviews and how close searchers are to you. We won't promise a ranking.
Do I need a physical storefront?
No. Service-area businesses can have a Google Business Profile with the address hidden and a service area set instead.
