Local SEO Services

When you buy more than the Barebones package, you will receive hourly labor that goes toward the following:

• Local Organic Keyword Research – Get a report that shows all local keywords and how people search for companies like yours in your local market
• On-Page SEO – We will use those optimal keywords to revitalize old content, craft new copywriting, and develop brand new pages. This strategy will help you connect with even more potential buyers
• Competitor Research – Discover how your top competitors are performing. Learn what you need to gain an advantage or balance the competition

Keyword research finds the exact keywords local people are using to find businesses in the area. We sort and analyze them for accuracy. Then, we provide them to you for your own use. This also shows you the optimal phrases and questions that people are using today.

All these services take time, so the choice is up to you – how many hours would you like us to work for you each month?

Your Google Business Profile (GBP) and Bing Places are the top local SEO tools for people and AI models. Our local directory submission software pulls most of its information from GBP, so keeping it up to date is very important.

Improve these profiles by adding quality photos, product listings, service details, and engaging posts. This builds trust and boosts user engagement.

Regular posting, gaining local citations, responding to those citations, and adding FAQs with questions that would help a newcomer show activity and credibility. AI/LLM models love natural Q&A sections as well, which bring a brand-new value to FAQ content.

All this helps both customers, Google, and AI improve your local rankings. Finally, it will increase customer interactions, such as calls, directions, and website visits.

We will manually add you to over 30 different local directories that will get your business listing in front of more people. Some of these directories are called aggregators and feed into other directories, so you get a cascading effect that builds more backlinks over time.

Your business information is shown everywhere. It’s accurate and up-to-date. Plus, your website gains valuable backlinks, which help improve your search rankings.

Do you run a very successful business but find yourself unable to reply to everyone who reviews you? Would you like to be able to respond in a polite and timely manner to negative reviews? Are you one of the many business owners who do not respond to reviews whatsoever?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, we hate to say it, but Google looks at how timely and often you respond to your Google reviews! Customers also like it when you respond back to them regardless of whether they’re upset or not; it builds reputation and rapport. So now is the time to start responding, and we have the tool for you!

Choose based on your monthly marketing budget and how much hands-on optimization you want. Also, factor in whether you have many locations.

Barebones ($150/mo) is a one-and-done deal. It’s perfect for startups that need basic visibility. This plan ensures your profiles and local directories are established.

Summiting ($2,500+/mo) is designed for enterprises, multi-location needs, or high-demand situations. It offers discounted hours and optimizes per location. Do you need truly dedicated service? This is your plan. Custom plans are also available if your needs don’t fit neatly into our tiers.

Barebones plan is foundation-focused and does not include any hourly labor.

Any price above the Barebones plan will include some amount of guaranteed monthly labor.

This is what we mean by “scalable” SEO: you are essentially buying X amount of labor hours each month.

These hours fuel the work that moves the needle.

  • Explore strategies to outpace them

You decide how many hours we work each month; plans above Barebones include set or discounted hours.

GBP and Bing Places are your top local visibility assets in the modern day.

Early ChatGPT versions mainly used Bing Places data for local searches. Google has boosted local ranking authority and added AI Overview/Gemini coverage to clients’ GBP profiles.

We keep our content complete and fresh. This includes photos, detailed product and service descriptions, posts, and FAQs. We do all this to build trust and boost engagement. Many LLM models pull data from GMB and Bing Places, so keeping things consistent across all platforms and accurate matters.

We submit your information to 60+ local directories, some of which feed others. This broadens your visibility, ensures consistent NAP data, and earns valuable backlinks. Altogether, this leads to increased calls, direction requests, and website visits.

Submit your healthcare and wellness practices to our medical directory. This helps you connect with new patients today.

Absolutely no contracts here at Apex SEO. All services are available hourly, as a one-time option, or month-to-month. You can also choose quarterly or annual performance reviews.

For monthly retainers, we need a commitment of at least three months. This ensures you see real, meaningful, and lasting results. Consistent profile enhancements, regular posting, and timely review responses all compound over time. Google classically takes its time indexing content, so there’s a certain amount of wait and patience that is needed.

Monthly reports are included. Some plans also offer an online dashboard for real-time visibility.
