Not sure which plan is right for you? Talk to us — we’ll recommend the right fit based on your market and competition.
We don't use a one-size-fits-all approach. Every strategy starts with understanding your market, your competitors, and your customers.
We assess your current rankings, GBP status, citations, on-page health, and competitors to understand exactly where you stand.
We build a custom plan targeting the local search terms your customers actually use, mapped to your service areas and city pages.
We optimize your GBP, website pages, schema markup, and citation profile — laying the technical foundation for map pack rankings.
We build citations, earn local backlinks, and implement a review acquisition system to compound your authority month over month.
Every month you receive a transparent ranking report and strategy update. We adapt based on data — not guesses.
Let’s see where you stand. We’ll audit your local SEO for free — no commitment, no sales pressure.

Your Name, Address, and Phone number must match exactly across every directory, your website, and your GBP. Even small differences (St. vs Street) confuse Google and suppress your rankings.
An incomplete or unoptimized GBP is like having a storefront with no sign. Photos, categories, hours, services, and weekly posts all affect whether Google shows you in the local pack.
Review volume, rating, and recency are all local ranking factors. Businesses that don’t actively generate and respond to reviews steadily fall behind those that do.
Over 70% of local searches happen on mobile. A slow or hard-to-navigate mobile site not only frustrates visitors — it’s a direct ranking penalty in Google’s eyes.
One generic “Service Area” page won’t rank you in multiple cities. You need dedicated, optimized pages for each city or area you serve — each targeting local search terms.
LocalBusiness schema tells Google your hours, location, services, and more in a language it understands perfectly. Most small business websites have none of it — giving you an easy edge.
Based in Auburn Hills, we serve small businesses across Oakland, Macomb, Lapeer, Genesee, and Livingston counties — and beyond.

Local SEO focuses specifically on improving your visibility for location-based searches — things like “plumber Auburn Hills” or “dentist near me.” While traditional SEO targets national or global rankings, local SEO optimizes your Google Business Profile, local citations, and on-page signals so you appear in Google’s map pack and local organic results when nearby customers are searching.
Most businesses see meaningful movement in rankings within 3–6 months, depending on the competitiveness of your market. GBP improvements and citation work can show impact in as little as 4–8 weeks. Local SEO is a compounding investment — the longer you do it, the stronger and more stable your rankings become.
Our local SEO packages start at $149/month for the Starter plan, $399/month for Standard, and $599/month for Premium. The right package depends on your market competitiveness, how many cities you serve, and how aggressively you want to grow. We can recommend the right fit after a free audit.
The Google local pack (also called the map pack) is the block of 3 business listings with a map that appears at the top of Google results for local searches. Studies show the top 3 map pack results receive over 44% of all clicks for local queries — significantly more than organic results below. Ranking in the local pack is often the single highest-ROI thing a local business can achieve in digital marketing.
You can make progress without a website through GBP and citation optimization, but a website is essential for long-term local SEO success. It gives you control over location pages, schema markup, on-page content, and link building — all of which directly influence your rankings. If you need a website, we can help with that too.
Yes — a Google Business Profile is the single most important asset for local SEO. It’s what determines whether you appear in Google Maps and the local pack. If you don’t have one, setting it up is step one. If you have one but it’s incomplete or unoptimized, that’s often the fastest path to ranking improvement.
Google Ads (paid search) shows your business at the top of results immediately, but you pay for every click and stop getting traffic the moment you stop paying. Local SEO builds organic visibility that you own — rankings that persist even if you pause your investment. Many businesses use both: Ads for immediate leads while SEO builds long-term authority. We offer both services at Finepoint.
