Local SEO: common questions

mouse Scroll down
How much does Google Business Profile management cost?
caret-down-black
From US$350 per month per location. A one-time cleanup of an existing profile costs about US$250.
Can you change my business address in Google?
caret-down-black
We can, but any address change triggers re-verification of the listing, so we only do it when the address really changed.
How fast will my business show in the map pack?
caret-down-black
In our experience, changes in map rankings show within 1 to 3 months. Distance from the searcher always matters, so results vary by neighbourhood.
Do I need a website for local SEO?
caret-down-black
A profile works on its own, but a website with service and area pages helps the profile rank and converts visitors into calls.
Can you remove negative reviews?
caret-down-black
Only reviews that break Google's policies can be reported for removal. For the rest we write calm, factual replies.

Local SEO in Ottawa: what matters most

Pick the primary category carefully: it carries the most weight. Add every service you offer, real photos and your hours, including holidays. Ask every happy client for a review and reply to each one.

Keep your name, address and phone the same everywhere: on the website, on Google, on Yelp, Yellow Pages and industry directories.
