Local SEO That Gets You Into Google’s Top 3
Local SEO in Long Beach comes down to one job: getting your business into Google’s top 3 when someone nearby searches for what you do. That’s the only thing I sell. Everything on this page is how I get you there, and how I keep you there.
What Local SEO Actually Is
When someone nearby searches for a plumber, a roofer, or a tree guy, Google shows a map with three businesses at the top. Local SEO is the work that gets your business into those three spots and keeps it there.
Google decides who makes the top 3 by looking at four things:
Your Profile
Your Google Business Profile, the listing on the map.
Your Website
What you do, where you do it, and how fast it loads.
Your Listings
Your name, address, and phone matching across the web.
Your Reviews
What real customers say, and how you reply.
If those are incomplete, out of date, or don’t match each other, Google picks someone else.
You don’t need to understand any of it. You just need someone to handle it. That’s me.
Everything That Goes Into It
Your Google Business Profile
Categories, services, service area, hours, and real photos set up right, then kept active so it never looks abandoned.
Real Reviews
An easy way to ask happy customers for reviews, and help replying to every one. I never buy or fake reviews.
Your Website
Clear pages for your services and the cities you serve, so Google knows exactly what you do and where you do it.
Behind-the-Scenes Fixes
Matching business details, code that tells Google who you are, fast pages on a phone, and one-tap calling.
Listings Across the Web
Your name, address, and phone correct on the directories and map apps that matter, with old and duplicate listings cleaned up.
Ongoing Work and Reports
Steady work to keep you in the top 3, and plain-English updates on what I did and what it did for your phone.
[PLACEHOLDER: Anything to add about how the work is done, for example whether you build new websites, whether listings are done by hand or with a tool, and how often reports go out.]
Why the Top 3 Is the Whole Game
Think about the last time you needed someone to fix something at your house. You searched, looked at the three businesses on the map, and called one of them. Your customers do the same thing. The top 3 get the most clicks, the most calls, and the most jobs.
Getting there takes all the pieces working together. A great profile with a weak website, or a great website with a messy profile, leaves you stuck at number six. That’s why I handle all of it instead of selling it in pieces.
Staying there takes steady work, because your competitors aren’t sitting still and neither is Google.
Everyone Else
Getting to the top 3 is the start.Staying there is the job.

FAQ
How long until I see results?
It depends on your trade, your area, and how much competition you have. Some fixes help quickly, others take longer to build. That’s why the guarantee gives it 90 days: if you’re not in the top 3 for your main search by then, I keep working for free until you are.
Do I need a storefront?
No. If you go to your customers, like most trades do, you can have a service-area Google Business Profile and keep your home address hidden. I’ll set it up the right way so it follows Google’s rules.
Will you buy reviews or post fake ones?
Never. Fake reviews break Google’s rules, can get your profile suspended, and they’re dishonest. I help you get more real reviews from real customers.
Do I need a new website?
[PLACEHOLDER: Your answer, for example whether you build new sites or work with the one the client already has.]
Do I keep ownership of my Google profile and listings?
[PLACEHOLDER: Your account ownership policy, for example: Yes, they’re always yours, and I’m added as a manager.]
Is there a contract, and how much does it cost?
[PLACEHOLDER: Contract length and pricing, or that the free audit is where you quote it.]
