Local SEO Services in Marietta, GA
46% of all Google searches have local intent. If your business is not showing up when people in your area search for what you do, you are invisible to nearly half of Google. We change that.
The Problem
Google Cannot Figure Out What Your Business Does
Here is something we discovered working with local businesses around Marietta. Most of them have all the right pieces individually, but Google does not connect them. Your website says one thing, your Google Business Profile says something slightly different, and your directory listings say something else entirely.
Google's job is to give searchers the best answer. When your business information is scattered and inconsistent, Google does not trust you enough to recommend you. That is why your competitor with the worse website shows up higher.
Local SEO is about making it ridiculously clear to Google exactly who you are, what you do, and where you do it.
Our Approach
Entity Alignment: The Foundation of Local SEO
We use an approach called Entity Alignment. Think of it this way: Google does not just read words on a page. It builds a mental model of your business as an entity. Your name, your services, your location, your reviews, your website, your social profiles. All of these are data points.
Entity Alignment means making all of those data points tell the same clear story. When everything lines up, Google gets confident about recommending you. When things are messy, it recommends someone else.
We helped a deck builder go from invisible to number one in Google Maps in just 3 weeks using Entity Alignment. Not paid ads. Not tricks. Just making everything line up perfectly.
Google Business Profile
Your Most Important Digital Asset
For local businesses, your Google Business Profile is more important than your website. That is not an exaggeration. Most local customers will see your GBP before they ever visit your site. It is the first impression.
We optimize every single piece of your profile. Categories, services, attributes, photos, posts, Q&A, and products. Most businesses fill in maybe 30 percent of what Google offers. We fill in 100 percent because every field is a signal to Google about what your business does.
Citations
Clean, Consistent Business Listings Everywhere
Citations are mentions of your business name, address, and phone number on other websites. Yelp, BBB, industry directories, data aggregators. Google cross-references these listings to verify your business information.
If your address is listed as "Suite 200" on your website but "Ste 200" on Yelp and "#200" on the BBB, that inconsistency confuses Google. Multiply that across dozens of directories, and it becomes a real problem.
We use specialized tools to audit every mention of your business across the web, fix inconsistencies, and build new citations on the directories that actually matter for your industry.
Reviews
Reviews Are Rocket Fuel for Local Rankings
Google uses reviews as a major ranking signal. Not just the number of reviews, but the quality, recency, and whether you respond. We help you build a system that generates reviews consistently.
Generate More Reviews
We set up automated review requests that go out after a job is completed. The timing and wording matters. We have tested what works and build it into your workflow.
Respond to Every Review
Responding to reviews shows Google and customers that you are engaged. We help you craft responses that are professional, authentic, and include relevant keywords naturally.
Handle Negative Reviews
Negative reviews happen. How you respond matters more than the review itself. We help you turn negatives into opportunities to show your professionalism.

FAQ
Questions About Local SEO
How long does local SEO take to see results?
Most businesses start seeing meaningful improvement in 60 to 90 days. Some see results faster, especially with Entity Alignment. We helped a deck builder reach number one in Google Maps in just 3 weeks. But that is not the norm. We set honest expectations based on your specific competitive situation.
What is the Google Business Profile and why does it matter?
Your Google Business Profile is the panel that shows up when someone searches your business name or when you appear in Google Maps. For local businesses, it is often the first thing a potential customer sees. We optimize every piece of it, from categories and services to photos and posts.
What are citations and do they still matter?
Citations are mentions of your business name, address, and phone number on other websites. Yes, they still matter, especially for local SEO. But accuracy matters more than volume. If your name or address is different across directories, it confuses Google and hurts your rankings.
How do reviews affect local SEO rankings?
Reviews are one of the top ranking factors for local search results. Not just the number of reviews, but the quality, recency, and whether you respond to them. We help you build a system for consistently generating new reviews from happy customers.
Can you help us rank in areas outside our physical location?
Yes, to a degree. We can build location-specific content and landing pages for surrounding areas. It is harder to rank in cities where you do not have a physical address, but with the right strategy, we can extend your reach significantly beyond your immediate location.
