Frequently asked questions
What's included in your local SEO services?
Every engagement includes a full local presence audit, Google Business Profile optimization, citation building and cleanup, local content creation, local pack rank tracking, and monthly reporting with a strategy call. We tailor the scope to your market and goals.
How do you improve our Google Business Profile?
We start with a full audit: categories, attributes, service areas, hours, photos, posts, Q&A, and products. Then we optimize every element, build a recurring posting schedule, and monitor your profile for changes, spam edits, and competitor activity.
What are citations, and why do they matter?
Citations are mentions of your business name, address, and phone number across directories, review sites, and industry listings. Consistent, accurate citations tell Google your business is legitimate and well-established. Inconsistencies like old addresses, wrong phone numbers, and duplicate listings actively hurt your rankings.
How does local content drive qualified leads?
We create geo-targeted service pages, blog posts, and landing pages built around the specific search terms your ideal customers use. This content ranks in organic results and drives people who are actively looking for your service in your area. Not tire-kickers, but prospects ready to call or book.
How long until we see results?
Most clients see measurable ranking improvements within 60 to 90 days. Significant gains in local pack visibility and lead volume typically happen in months 3 to 6. Competitive markets may take longer, but we set clear benchmarks so you always know where you stand.
Do you lock us into a long contract?
No. We work on month-to-month agreements after an initial 3-month onboarding period. We keep clients because the results speak for themselves, not because of a contract.
How is NearbyNine different from a general marketing agency?
We specialize exclusively in local search. We don't spread ourselves thin across PPC, social media, and web design. Every person on your account lives and breathes local SEO, and that focus shows up in the results.
