SEO & AEO

Local Starter

Entry-level local SEO for tight budgets. One keyword category, 5 target keywords, 25 tracked keywords, on-page optimization, locally relevant content, and local citation building. Startups cover their basics without overextending.

What You Get

This is the starting point for local search. You’re targeting one keyword category – five specific keywords we’ll optimize for, and we’ll track 25 total keywords to monitor where you show up. Every month I’m recommending or performing optimization on your website pages. We’re building backlinks from local directories, setting up business listings, and creating citations so Google knows where you are and what you do.

Content work is ongoing. Industry-specific editorial posts, website content updates, whatever it takes to move you up in local search results.

The Process

Site Assessment and Intake

I audit your website and your current online presence. I need to know your target audience and what you’re trying to accomplish.

Keyword Research

We research the best 5 keywords based on your industry and your physical location. These are the terms that will bring you the most relevant traffic. You approve the final list before we start.

Content and On-Page Optimization

From the audit and keyword research, we implement content optimization to engage visitors. Extensive on-page work includes Google tools integration, plagiarism check, page load time and mobile-friendly check, page title, meta description, header tags, internal linking, local schema setup, image alt tags, and hyperlink optimization.

Local Optimization

Once the on-page work is done, we focus on building local presence. That means submitting your business to top local search engines and directories – Google Business Profile, Bing Local, Apple Maps, Facebook, and more.

Monthly Link Building

Ongoing link building through editorial content, local citations, and authority business listings. We’re building a backlink portfolio that ranks your website for your target keywords.

Common questions.

What should I expect after I place an order?

Once your order is placed, I’ll reach out within 24 hours to get things started. We’ll launch your campaign on the dashboard, and I’ll work through the deliverables as listed. You’ll get weekly and monthly updates on progress and any changes needed to improve performance.

What’s the difference between Local SEO and National SEO?

National SEO is location-neutral. It’s for websites generating revenue exclusively online or building awareness through a wide audience. If you’re running a nationwide campaign or an e-commerce site, that’s the right approach.

Local SEO targets local search specifically. Your audience is within a few miles of your business location, and your online presence is meant to drive foot traffic to a physical establishment. We do this through geo-centric keywords, locally relevant content, citations on local directories, and more.

Does SEO work for every type of business?

Yes. As long as you offer a viable product or service, SEO can move your website higher in search rankings and drive more sales.

How long does it take to see results?

Good SEO takes time. Many customers start to see positive momentum in 3-4 months. Results depend on your industry, your competition, and the work we’re able to do on your site.

What tactics do you use to improve website rank?

How are the keywords chosen?

The keywords I suggest are unique to your business and based on extensive research. I consider your specific products or services, industry, location, competition, and more. The goal is to find the keywords that will provide the most impact for your business.

How does a client know the SEO is working?

You get total transparency into the work being performed. You’ll have access to your BMG dashboard showing every SEO action performed on and off your website. You can track every action, monitor keyword movement, and review overall performance. Weekly and monthly updates keep you informed on campaign activity and progress toward your goals.

How do I cancel my subscription?

All services are on a prepaid subscription basis. Depending on the amount of work completed at the time of cancellation, you may receive a full refund, a partial refund, no refund, or owe additional fees. To cancel, reach out to me directly.
