Local SEO Services
Improve traffic to your website, phone calls to your business, and foot traffic to your store for less than you’re likely spending now.
Local Search Fuel is an affordable small business marketing solution to help you get found in Google Search, Google Maps, and hundreds of the internet’s most influential and trafficked business directories.
Small businesses can’t match the budgets of large companies that constantly run ads, create content, and do traditional SEO work. That’s why we focus on the area where small businesses can win, a space where the playing field is far more even and where your marketing budget as a small business can go much further—local search results.
Local Search Fuel includes both Google Business Profile optimization and local citation optimization in one affordable package.
Google Business Profile Optimization
Google Business Profile, formerly Google My Business, is one of the most powerful tools for small businesses to reach new customers, period. We optimize your GBP listing to put you in the best position to be found by local customers looking for the products or services you offer.
Citation Building Services
Local business citations are the foundation of local search optimization. Claiming and optimizing your business listings across the web creates consistency that Google and other directories use to validate your business so they can include you in search results with confidence.

The Power of Local Search
Be There When It Matters Most
When customers search “chiropractor near me” or “bar and grill in Omaha,” they’re looking for the solution or services you have to offer. Being visible at that exact moment leads to customers choosing you.
Highly Actionable
Local searches on Google trigger prominent results that allow customers to visit your website, call your business, or get driving directions with one click.
Local Businesses Only
If you don’t have a physical location in the area, you can’t be featured in local search results. This gives small businesses a space where they can be found without competing against powerful ecommerce and aggregator websites.

Understanding Local SEO
What Is Local SEO?
Local SEO, often referred to as local search optimization, is the process of optimizing businesses for search queries that are specific to a location. “Car mechanic near me” or “personal injury lawyer in Memphis” are examples of these types of searches. Local SEO helps businesses be more visible for searches relevant to their products or services through their Google Business Profile listing on Google Search and Google Maps, as well as on business directories across the web.
Why Is Local SEO So Important?
Because the businesses shown in local search results must have a physical location in a specific area, local search evens the playing field for small businesses going up against large online businesses. Not to mention, optimizing for local search typically provides a greater return on investment for small businesses compared to traditional SEO and paid advertising on Google, Facebook, and other channels that require larger budgets to compete.
Another important aspect of local SEO is how powerful being visible in local search results is. Customers performing these searches are ready to take action. According to Hubspot, 72% of consumers that conducted a local search visited a store within five miles. In addition, 88% of mobile searches for local businesses result in the searcher calling or visiting the business within 24 hours.
Who Needs Local SEO?
Any business that has a physical location and serves a local customer base can benefit from local SEO. That means restaurants, medical facilities, lawyers, retail stores, home services like electricians and plumbers, and many more.
Need a Website?
Local SEO services help small businesses gain visibility online, but your website is just as important. If your website isn’t up to speed, we can help with that, too. We build beautiful, affordable small business websites that are optimized to perform.
