Own the searches happening in your backyard
Local SEO gets your business in front of customers searching nearby: in the Google map pack, in local results, and in AI assistants recommending businesses like yours. Markitors handles the whole stack, from your Google Business Profile to reviews and citations.
Google weighs three things. We work all three.
Relevance
Business listings, on-page keywords, and schema markup that tell Google exactly what you do, so you match the searches that matter.
Distance
Location pages, local keywords, and a tuned Google Business Profile so you show up for "near me" searches across your service area.
Prominence
Reviews, citations, and local links. The signals that decide who gets the three map-pack spots everyone fights over.
Local SEO, handled end to end

- Review strategy: getting more reviews and responding the right way

Frequently asked questions
What is local SEO?
Local SEO helps a small business get visibility on search engines for local searches related to its products and services. It shows up most visibly in Google Maps, the local map pack, and "near me" results, and increasingly in AI assistants recommending local businesses.
How does Google determine local search rankings?
Google says local rankings are determined by relevance, distance, and prominence: how well your listing matches the search, how close you are to the searcher, and how well-known and well-reviewed your business is. Our local SEO work targets all three.
What are local citations and why do they matter?
A citation is any online mention of your business name, address, and phone number, such as a Yelp or Yellow Pages listing. Consistent citations across directories confirm to Google that your business is real and located where you say it is.
How do I improve my local SEO rankings on Google?
Start with a complete, accurate Google Business Profile, consistent citations, a steady flow of reviews, and location keywords on your pages. That is the core of what we implement, and the free audit shows you which piece is holding you back.
How much does local SEO cost?
It depends on how many locations you have and how competitive your market is. A single-location business costs less than a multi-city franchise. We scope it after the free audit and give you the price before you commit to anything.
Does local SEO matter for AI search?
Yes. When someone asks ChatGPT or Gemini for the best plumber in Phoenix, those answers draw on the same signals local SEO builds: reviews, listings, and clear structured data. Strong local SEO is how you show up in both the map pack and the AI answer.
