Local SEO
Local SEO that puts you on the map when somebody nearby searches.
Somebody a few streets away reaches for their phone and searches for what you sell. Three businesses appear on the map above the ordinary results. Getting into those three is a different job from ranking a website, and it is the one that brings people through your door.
The three results on the map decide it.
Most people never scroll past the map. They tap one of the three businesses shown, look at the reviews, check that you are open, and call. If you are not in that box, the search is over before your website is ever seen.
Getting into those three is not the same work as ranking a page. Google weighs how close you are, how complete your listing is, and what other people have said about you. Most of the profiles we open were created automatically and never touched since, which is how businesses no better than you at the actual job end up above you.
Google Business Profile, finished properly
Claimed, verified, categorised and filled in, because a half-complete profile ranks like one.
Reviews that keep arriving
A simple routine your team can run, so new reviews come in every month instead of once a year.
The searches people near you actually type
Built from what your customers say, not from a keyword tool guessing at your market.
Hours, photos and services kept current
Wrong opening hours cost you the visit and the trust in the same afternoon.
A page for each area you serve
If you cover three neighbourhoods or three towns, each one gets a page worth ranking.
The directories worth an afternoon
A short list that helps here, rather than fifty listings nobody in Cameroon reads.
What is included
What a local setup covers.
Local SEO is not a smaller version of national SEO. It is a different job, aimed at one box on one screen, and it is usually the fastest thing a shop, clinic or workshop can do to get found.
Profile setup and verification
We claim the profile, get it verified, choose the categories that match what you sell, and fill in every field Google gives you.
Map pack ranking work
Location signals, service areas and the details Google uses to decide which three businesses it shows.
Review system
A request that goes out after the job, so asking for reviews stops depending on somebody remembering.
Local landing pages
One page per area or service, written for the way people search in that part of town.
Local citations
Your name, address and phone number consistent across the directories that carry weight here.
Monthly ranking check
Where you sit on the map for your main searches, and what moved since last month.
How we work
Four steps to the map pack.
Audit
We look at your current profile, your competitors on the map, and what people near you are searching for.
Fix
Profile, categories, service areas and the details that are wrong or missing get put right.
Build
Local pages and the review routine go in, so the profile has something behind it.
Watch
Rankings checked monthly, with the changes explained in a page you can read in two minutes.
Pricing
One-off setup, or the monthly plan.
A one-off local setup is 100,000 FCFA and covers the profile, the local pages and the review routine. If you want the rankings watched and worked on every month, that is the SEO retainer from 75,000 FCFA. Both are published in full.
Questions
The things people ask first.
Local SEO is the work that puts a business into the three results Google shows on the map when somebody nearby searches. It covers your Google Business Profile, your reviews, your categories, and pages written for the areas you serve. For a shop or a clinic it is usually the fastest result available.
A profile that was never claimed often moves within two to four weeks, because the easy wins are large. A competitive category in a big city takes two to three months. Anyone promising you the top spot next week is guessing.
Usually yes, and it is often cheaper. Most listings we see were auto-created or half filled in: wrong category, no service area, no photos, no reviews. Fixing an existing profile is quicker than starting from nothing.
You can rank in the map pack without one, but you will convert far fewer of the people who find you. The profile gets you seen. The website is where somebody decides you are worth calling.
You ask once, at the right moment, right after the job is done and the customer is happy. We set that request up so it goes out on its own. Most businesses here do not ask at all, which is why one competitor with nine reviews is beating everyone.
Yes. Each branch needs its own profile and its own page, otherwise they compete with each other. We will tell you before we start whether your locations are far enough apart to be worth separating.
