What we do
How we work
Google Business Profile Optimization
Complete GBP setup and optimization: accurate NAP (Name, Address, Phone), primary and secondary categories, business description with target keywords, service areas, business hours (including holiday hours), attributes, products/services listing, Q&A section management. Weekly Google Posts with offers, events, updates and products. Photo optimization, listings with more photos tend to get more calls. Review response within 24 hours for every review.
Local Citation Building
Consistent NAP data across 50+ Romanian and international directories: firme.info, paginiaurii.ro, listafirme.ro, cylex.ro, europages, hotfrog, yelp, foursquare and industry-specific directories. Citation audit to find and fix inconsistencies. Structured citations with full business details and unstructured mentions in local news, blog posts and community content.
Review Strategy & Reputation
Systematic review generation: post-service email sequences, QR codes at physical locations, SMS review requests, and staff training for in-person asks. Response templates for positive reviews (thank and reinforce) and negative reviews (acknowledge, empathize, resolve publicly, take offline). Review monitoring across Google, Facebook, industry platforms. Reputation score tracking and improvement plan.
Local Content & Landing Pages
Location-specific landing pages for each city or area you serve, not duplicate content with city names swapped, but genuinely unique pages with local information, landmarks, service specifics and area-relevant testimonials. Local blog content covering community events, local industry news and area-specific guides. Geo-targeted schema markup with LocalBusiness, Service and GeoCoordinates. Local link building through community involvement.
LocalBusiness schema and on-site signals
We implement the structured data that ties your website to your local presence: LocalBusiness with address, coordinates, opening hours and service area, identical to your Google Business Profile, plus visible contact data and correct review markup.
Local rank tracking and reporting
Local positions vary by the searcher's location, so we track them properly: local pack appearances, organic positions for city queries and Google Business Profile actions (calls, direction requests, website visits). Monthly plain-language reporting.
Local SEO without a local office
Google's map only shows businesses with a real presence in the area, but local organic results remain open: a serious company can win service-plus-city searches through genuine local pages, proof of work delivered there and reviews from clients in that area. We tell you honestly from the start what is realistic: where you have an office you compete on the map too, where you do not, we build organic visibility.
Local keywords & real intent
Not all local searches look alike: plumber Timisoara asks for something different than how much does a plumber cost. We research the real phrasing used in your market, from Search Console, Google suggestions and actual client questions, then map each search group to a single target page. This prevents cannibalization, the most frequent reason local sites plateau.
Local links & mentions
Local authority is built from sources your competitors ignore: suppliers and partners who can mention you, clients with their own websites, local press, professional associations, sponsored events. We identify the opportunities genuinely within reach for your business and build a realistic acquisition plan, without link schemes that risk penalties.
What ranks the map pack
Map pack positions are decided on three axes: proximity, relevance and prominence. Proximity cannot be influenced, but the other two can: correct and complete profile categories, services described in detail, steady reviews with answers, real photos, updated hours and consistent signals between your profile, your site and the rest of the web. That is what we work on systematically, month after month.
Genuine local pages, not doorways
Google penalizes city pages multiplied with the same text and a different town name. A local page that actually climbs has substance: services described for that market, work delivered in the area, real questions from local clients and verifiable contact data. We only build pages that pass the test: they would make sense to a human, not just to an algorithm.
Suspended profile or wrong map data
Google Business profile suspensions, duplicates and unsolicited data edits are more common than you think and they hurt exactly where clients come from. We recover access, document the case for reinstatement, clean up duplicate profiles and set up monitoring so edits made by the public or by competitors never go unnoticed.
Deliverables
What you get
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us
What is local SEO?
Local SEO is the optimization that makes your business show up when someone searches for your service in a specific area: on the Google map, in the local pack and in organic results for service-plus-city searches. It combines optimizing your Google Business profile, your website and your online reputation.
How is it different from classic SEO?
Classic SEO targets national visibility on broad topics; local SEO targets clients from a precise geographic area, where additional signals come into play: your Google Business profile, reviews, local citations and contact data consistency. For a business serving one city, local brings clients faster.
How fast can I show up on the Google map?
If you have an office or a correctly declared service area, an optimized profile can climb within weeks for low-competition searches. For head terms in large cities the process takes months and depends on reviews, authority and competition. We do not promise positions: we report real, correctly measured progress.
Does it work if I serve multiple cities?
Yes, with a service-area strategy: genuine local pages for each area you serve, with real proof, not multiplied templates. The map stays tied to your physical address, but organic visibility can be built for every city where you actually deliver.
How much does local SEO cost?
It depends on how many locations and areas you target and on your starting point. We work on a monthly retainer with clear deliverables: profile optimization, citations, review strategy, local content and a rankings report. Ask for a free evaluation and you get a fixed-price plan within 48 hours.
Do reviews really matter for rankings?
Yes: review volume, velocity, rating and your answers are among the heaviest local signals, and they decide the click even when positions are equal. We build processes through which happy clients actually leave reviews, at a natural pace, without forbidden incentives.
