Trusted by Local Business Owners Like You
We work with real business owners—contractors, shop owners, service pros—people who just want their phones to ring and websites to actually bring in customers. Here’s what some of them have said about working with us:
“I’m not great with tech, but they walked me through everything and made it easy to understand. I went from not even having a profile to getting regular calls.”
Tony M., HVAC technician in San Antonio
"I paid for ads for a long time just to show up. We Rank Local helped my business finally show up on the map, and now I’m not only saving money every month, but I make more."
Melissa D., dog groomer in Fort Collins
"I couldn't get people to visit my site or click on it. Now I’m on the first page for most of my local services and people are actually booking appointments through the site. Thanks, Matt!"

Local SEO, Built for the Real World
At We Rank Local, we help small businesses show up where their customers are searching—Google, Maps, and beyond. Whether you’re in plumbing, roofing, landscaping, or repairs, your next customer is already searching. Our job? Making sure your business shows up online when people need you most. Better rankings and digital strategies that actually make sense.
Why Local SEO Matters Now More Than Ever
Right now, someone in your area is Googling what you do. If they don’t see you? They’ll pick someone else. That’s it. That’s the game.
Local SEO is what puts your business on the map (literally) and keeps you in front of people when they’re ready to buy.
Search habits have changed. People expect fast answers, trusted results, and businesses they can find right now. If your listing is buried—or worse, missing—you’re not even in the race.
Local SEO helps your business stay relevant, visible, and chosen over the competition.
76% of local searches result in a visit within 24 hours.
You either show up—or get passed over.
Let’s Build Your Plan
No two businesses are the same—so why would we sell the same plan to everyone?
At We Rank Local, we build every SEO plan from the ground up based on what’ll actually get you results. Some clients just need their Google Business Profile cleaned up and some smart content on their site. Others need a full maps-focused SEO push, better site structure, and ongoing local content to stay ahead of the competition or generate affiliate sales.
Here’s what a custom plan might include:
-
Google Business Profile setup or cleanup
-
Local directory optimization
-
On-site SEO fixes
-
Landing pages for service areas
-
Review building strategies
-
Competitor research & rank tracking
-
Content planning & publishing
-
Monthly performance reporting
Whether you’re a one-person shop or growing a full team, we’ll put together a plan that fits your goals, your budget, and your pace. No one-size-fits-all templates—just smart strategy built around what’ll actually work for you.

Local SEO FAQs
What exactly is local SEO?
Local SEO is how we help your business show up in Google Maps, local search results, and “near me” searches. It’s all about making sure nearby customers can actually find you when they need you most.
How long does local SEO take to work?
Some changes, like fixing your Google Business Profile, can show results in a week or two. Full strategies usually take 1–3 months to really gain traction, depending on how competitive your area is.
Can’t I just run ads instead of doing SEO?
Sure, but ads stop working the second you stop paying. Local SEO builds long-term visibility that keeps working in the background, even when your ad budget takes a break.
Do I need a website to rank locally?
Technically, no. But having a well-optimized website helps big time. It adds trust, gives Google (and other search engines) more content to work with, and boosts your rankings for more competitive terms.
What’s included in a local SEO audit?
We look at your Google listing, citations, on-page SEO, review health, site speed, keyword targeting, and more. Then we break it all down so you know exactly where to start.
How do I know if local SEO is right for my business?
If your customers are local and they find businesses like yours online, then yes, local SEO is a smart move. We’ll help you figure out if it’s the right focus for where you’re at now.
I tried SEO before and didn’t see results. Why try again?
SEO fails when it’s done blindly. We focus on your specific goals, your local market, and your actual customer behavior, not generic tactics. The difference is strategy that fits you, not everyone else.
I’m not tech-savvy, can you still help me?
Absolutely. Most of our clients are business owners, not marketers. You won’t need to learn SEO—we’ll handle the heavy lifting and walk you through everything in plain English.
