The strategy and the team to execute it, under one roof.
Your customers are searching nearby. Are you showing up?
Someone in your service area is searching right now for exactly what you offer. They're typing "near me," they're checking the map, they're scrolling the three businesses Google shows them and picking one. If you're not in that list, you're not in the running, no matter how good your work is.
You know this. You also know you don't have time to figure out Google Business Profile optimization, chase reviews, fix inconsistent listings across the internet, and build local content on top of actually running your business. Local SEO gets pushed to "next month" indefinitely, and meanwhile a competitor with a worse product but a better profile keeps getting the calls that should be yours.
You don't need a lecture on local search algorithms. You need a local SEO company that takes it off your plate and gets you showing up where it counts: the map, the local pack, the first page.
What you get
Full Google Business Profile optimization: categories, services, photos, posts, and the details that influence local ranking
Citation and listing cleanup so your business name, address, and phone number are consistent everywhere customers might find you
Review strategy that builds the volume and quality of reviews local search rewards
Local content built around your actual service area and neighborhoods, not generic city pages
On-site local SEO: location pages, schema, and structure that signals relevance to your market
Ongoing monitoring of your map rankings and local visibility, with monthly updates in plain language
Results, not just activity
It's easy to confuse local SEO with busywork: posting on your profile, collecting a few reviews, checking a box once and forgetting it. None of that means much if you're still invisible when a real customer searches nearby.
We build your local SEO around one outcome: showing up when someone in your area is ready to call or book. Every part of the work, from your Google Business Profile to your review strategy to your location pages, is built to move you into the map pack and keep you there. We track rankings because they're a signal, but what we're actually after is the phone ringing and the calendar filling.
How it works
We learn your business.
We look at your service area, your current Google Business Profile, your listings across the web, your reviews, and where your local competitors are beating you. We learn how customers in your market actually search.
We build the plan and the work.
We fix what's broken, build what's missing, and put together the local content and structure that gets you ranking. You don't get a checklist to execute yourself, you get the finished work.
We run it.
We monitor your map rankings, keep your profile active, manage your review flow, and adjust the plan as your market shifts. You get a clear monthly update on what changed and why.
What's included
Local SEO services for small business covering your Google Business Profile, listings, reviews, and on-site local signals
Local SEO for service businesses with multiple towns, zip codes, or a defined service radius
Ongoing optimization to help you get found on Google Maps and stay there as competitors shift
Monthly reporting tied to your actual local visibility and lead flow
The same team running your local SEO can also run your other marketing under one roof: your broader SEO, your content, your ads, your email and SMS, your website. Your local presence and your brand stay consistent because one team is building both.
Who this is for
Local and service-area businesses (home services, medical, legal, contractors, salons, and similar) who depend on nearby customers finding them
Owners who know they're invisible on Google Maps but don't know where to start fixing it

Anyone juggling review requests, profile updates, and local content on top of running the business

FAQ
Is local SEO worth it for a small business?
Yes, particularly if your customers come from a defined area: a city, a few towns, a service radius. Most local searches result in a call or a visit within a day, which makes local SEO one of the most direct paths from search to revenue that a small business has. If you depend on nearby customers, this is not optional marketing, it's foundational.
How much does local SEO cost?
It depends on how competitive your local market is and how much work your current listings and profile need. A business with a clean foundation costs less to optimize than one with years of inconsistent listings and no review strategy. We'll walk you through exactly what your market requires and what it costs before you commit to anything.
Local SEO vs doing it myself, which makes more sense?
You can manage your own Google Business Profile and listings if you have the time to learn what actually moves rankings and the discipline to keep it updated every month. Most owners start there and watch it slide as soon as the business gets busy, which is usually right when local visibility matters most. Done for you local SEO means the work happens on a schedule regardless of how busy your week gets.
How is this different from hiring a freelancer?
A freelancer can update your profile, but local SEO touches listings, reviews, content, and technical site signals, often more than one person can keep up with consistently. Social Hackettes runs all of it as one coordinated effort, with a team behind it instead of a single person's available hours. And because the same team can run your broader marketing, your local presence never drifts out of sync with your brand.
How fast will I see results?
Some local SEO fixes, like correcting listings and optimizing your Google Business Profile, can show movement within weeks. Ranking consistently in the map pack for competitive searches usually takes a few months of sustained work, especially in crowded markets. We'll give you a realistic timeline for your specific area before you start.
