Part of our SEO service.

When a Canadian searches for a plumber, dentist, lawyer or contractor, Google shows a map with three businesses. Local SEO gets you into that map pack and keeps you there. Better Businesses optimizes your Google Business Profile, builds consistent citations, grows and manages reviews and creates location pages that rank across every city you serve.

Local SEO is also one of the strongest signals for AI assistants: consistent name, address and phone data, verified reviews and clear service-area content help ChatGPT, Gemini and Google recommend you when someone asks for 'the best X near me'.

What is local SEO?

Local SEO is the optimization of a business's online presence to appear in location-based searches, including the Google Maps 'local pack', localized organic results and voice or AI assistant recommendations.

FAQ

Local SEO: your questions.

Straight answers on pricing, timelines and how we work. Still curious? Ask us anything.

How do I rank in the Google map pack?
Rankings depend on relevance (categories, services, content), distance and prominence (reviews, citations, links). We optimize all three and create content for each area you serve.
Can I rank in cities where I do not have an office?
Yes, in organic results through well-built service-area pages. Map pack rankings favour proximity, so multiple verified locations help there.
How important are Google reviews?
Very. Review quantity, velocity, rating and keyword content influence rankings and conversion. We set up systems to earn reviews consistently.
