      Working with Josh has been the best experience. My website is flowing and so well designed. I have worked with several other companies and designers and through the years of learning more and more, this was hands down the easiest and simplified way to work with a designer who knew exactly how to communicate back and forth and make it all come to life! I highly recommend Josh and his team for any marketing needs or website development. I recommend him to all my business friends already because everyone could use a website revamp as well as his personal approach to marketing. HIGHLY IMPRESSED

      Kyle Eisenreich's Review Sourced from Google

      Jose with Solorio designs was very helpful in creating a website design for our needs with our blog and events. He was and to get on phone calls in the beginning to discuss what we wanted and then zoom calls to go over edits and revisions to the website before going live. He is reasonably priced and is there throughout the year for a minimal monthly fee to answer questions and help maintain the site. I would recommend Jose if you need a little web design help. I tried for a while to do the website on my own, but realized having somebody on my side that has the training and background in web design would be very useful. Definitely suggest at least talking to him regarding what you need!

Frequently Asked Questions

What services does a local SEO agency offer?

It provides specialized search engine optimization and digital marketing services designed to help businesses appear in Google Search, Google Maps, and other local search results when potential customers look for nearby services. 

The goal is to increase visibility, drive traffic, and convert local searchers into local customers.

  • Google Business Profile optimization: Creating or claiming the Google Business Profile, selecting the correct categories, adding photos, services, and products, optimizing descriptions and business attributes, managing Q&A and updates, and monitoring insights and engagement
  • Local keyword research: Conducting keyword research to determine what people search for in a specific city, region, or service area, such as "plumber in San Diego", "Atlanta SEO services", "best dentist near me", "web design New York City". The research identifies high-intent keywords that drive local customer traffic and guides the agency's SEO strategy.
  • Website optimization: Local SEO companies optimize a business website, so it can rank in both organic search results and location-based searches. 
  • Technical SEO: Website audits, page speed improvements, mobile optimization, schema markup for local businesses, internal linking improvements, and local landing page creation.
  • Local link building: Building backlinks through local media coverage, partnerships with community organizations, local sponsorships, content marketing, and digital PR.
  • Local landing page creation: For businesses targeting multiple cities or service areas, agencies create location-specific landing pages, such as "SEO services in Los Angeles", "web design agency in New York City", "home services in San Diego".
  • Content marketing for local search: Providing content marketing services that target local keywords and answer common search queries.
  • Local citations and directory listings: Building and managing local citations, i.e., mentions of a business's name, address, and phone number (NAP) across directories and platforms, including Apple Maps, Bing Places, Yelp, local business directories, and industry directories.
  • Review and reputation management: Monitoring reviews across platforms, responding to customer feedback, implementing strategies to generate more reviews, and analyzing review sentiment for insights.

What is the difference between local SEO and SEO?

The main difference between local SEO and general search engine optimization (SEO) is the geographic focus of the search results.

Search engine optimization aims to improve a website's visibility in Google Search for broad keywords that can attract users from anywhere. It focuses on tactics such as technical SEO, content marketing, and backlink building to rank in global or national search results.

Local SEO focuses on helping a local business appear in local search results, especially in Google Maps and the Google Business Profile listings. It targets location-based queries such as "home services near me" or "web design in New York City," leveraging strategies including Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, and location-specific keyword research.

The difference is important because local search behavior is extremely common:

  • About 46% of all Google searches have local intent.
  • 86% of people look up business locations on Google Maps, and 42% of local searches click results in the Google Map Pack.

How much do local SEO services cost?

Local SEO services costs vary widely depending on the level of competition, the number of locations, and the scope of search engine optimization work required.

Businesses can expect to pay between $300 and $3,000 per month for most small and mid-sized businesses targeting local search results in Google Search and Google Maps.

According to multiple local SEO company sources, businesses in the United States usually pay a monthly retainer model: 

  • Basic packages: $300-$900/month for Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, and basic keyword research.
  • Mid-tier local SEO services: $600-$2,000/month for technical SEO, content marketing, and broader local search optimization.
  • Advanced campaigns: $2,000-$5,000+ per month for competitive markets or multi-location local businesses.

Other pricing models that a local search engine optimization company may offer include:

  • Hourly consulting: $75-$250 per hour for SEO specialists.
  • One-time projects: $500-$5,000 depending on the scope of the SEO strategy. 

How do local SEO companies measure results and provide transparent reporting?

They measure performance using data from Google Search, Google Maps, and Google Business Profile to track visibility in local search results. Core metrics include keyword rankings, website traffic, and user engagement with listings.

Local SEO agencies monitor actions such as profile views, website clicks, phone calls, and direction requests through Google Business Profile Insights to determine whether an SEO strategy is improving visibility and attracting local customers.

To ensure transparent reporting, agencies typically deliver monthly reports that show trends in rankings, traffic, conversions, and reputation signals such as review growth and average star ratings. Reports may also include conversion data, like form submissions or phone calls, to show how search visibility translates into real leads.

How does Google Business Profile optimization improve local search rankings?

Google Business Profile optimization helps businesses rank higher in local search results and Google Maps by improving the relevance, completeness, and credibility of a listing. Google uses relevance, distance, and prominence to determine which businesses appear in local results, and an optimized profile helps signal that a local business is active and trustworthy.

Optimized profiles include accurate categories, services, photos, business descriptions, and consistent contact information. 

According to Google, listings with photos receive 42% more requests for directions and 35% more website clicks than businesses without images. Additionally, review management plays a key role: businesses with strong ratings and frequent reviews tend to rank higher and attract more local customers.
