Simplifying your journey through the digital landscape with clear and concise answers to the questions we frequently encounter.

How long does it take to see results from SEO efforts?

SEO is a long-term investment. While some improvements, like increased website traffic, can be seen within the first 45 days, more significant results like higher rankings and client conversions may take 6–12 months or longer, depending on the competition in your area.

What is the "Google Map Pack?"

The Google Map Pack, also known as the Google Local Pack, is a section in Google’s local search results that highlights the top-ranking businesses in a specific area. It typically appears at the top of search results when users look for local services or businesses, displaying a map along with three business listings. Let's make sure you're in it!

Why is optimizing my Google Business Profile important?

If your business is not getting found on Google Search or Google Maps then you're missing out on 90% of your potential customers. This is because 90% of people are finding businesses on Google. Furthermore, 80% of those people are picking one of the top 5 ranked business profiles they see.

How does Google Business Profile Optimzation differ from traditional SEO?

GBP Optimization ensures your Google Business Profile appears in search results when potential clients search for related services in your area. Traditional SEO is falling in popularity compared to this type of local SEO for several reasons:

  • Only an estimated 16% of people click on websites when looking for local businesses
  • Traditional SEO can take years to work, and SMBs often can't afford the risky longterm
    investment. GBP optimization only takes a few months to see results for most businesses.
  • Traditional SEO for local businesses is nearly impossible now that large global brands (Yelp,
    TripAdvisor, etc.) are usually in the top 2/3 of the top spots.
  • Google doesn’t allow global companies (Yelp, TripAdvisor, etc.) to compete on Google
    Maps which makes GBP optimization possible to succeed for SMBs.
  • GBP optimization services can be offered at a much lower cost than traditional SEO services.
