What is local SEO, in plain words?
Local SEO helps your business appear when people nearby search for what you offer, both on Google Maps and in the regular results below it. Google looks at how relevant you are, how close you are and how well known and consistently referenced your business is around the web.
What is a citation?
A citation is any mention of your business name, address and phone number on another website, such as a local directory, an industry listing or a map site. When many trusted sites list the same details, Google can be more confident your business is real and where it operates.
Will this get me into the top three on Google Maps?
Nobody can honestly guarantee a map position. Distance to the searcher, your reviews and your competitors all play a part. The Local Stack strengthens the parts you can influence: consistent details, more local references and a stronger website. Rankings usually move gradually as Google finds and processes the new listings after delivery.
Is this a monthly service?
No. The Local Stack is a one-off order. You pay once, we build the parts you selected and send you the report. There is no contract and nothing renews.
How long does it take?
Typical delivery is 2–4 weeks, depending on the parts you choose and how quickly publishers process listings. Ranking changes follow after that, once Google has crawled the new references.
What’s the difference between a press release and a guest post?
A press release is syndicated across news and finance sites, and those links are nofollow. A local news guest post is one article on one city or regional paper you choose, with a dofollow link and no sponsored label. It costs more per placement but carries more weight in that market.
I serve customers at their address. Does that work?
Yes. Service-area businesses such as plumbers, cleaners and roofers are a very common fit. Tell us the towns you cover and we focus citations and local references on that area.
Which countries do you cover?
Citation coverage is strongest in the US, the UK, Canada and Australia. We also run campaigns for businesses in the EU, with fewer available directories per country.
I have several locations. What should I order?
Order one stack per location. Each address needs its own consistent listings and map references, and separate orders keep each report clear.
Do I need to give you any logins?
No. We only need your business details, your website and your Google Business Profile link. We never ask for access to your profile or website.
