Ongoing retainers start around $300\/mo for content and go up when link outreach is included.

You get a fixed number after a short call, not a range that changes later.<\/p>\r\n      <\/details>\r\n      <details>\r\n        <summary>What is a service area business and why does it matter?<\/summary>\r\n        <p>If you travel to your customers rather than having them visit you, Google treats you as a service area business. Your address stays hidden, your service area needs to be set honestly, and proximity to your registered base still drives most of your ranking. Two mistakes cost people the most: publishing a home address, and padding the service area with every town within driving distance. Both weaken the profile, and the second is why so many service businesses plateau without knowing why.<\/p>\r\n      <\/details>\r\n      <details>\r\n        <summary>Do I need a new website for local SEO to work?<\/summary>\r\n        <p>Not always. If your current site is reasonably fast and editable, I can often optimize it in place with service and area pages, better titles, and technical fixes. If it&rsquo;s slow or was never built for search, a redesign may be better value. I&rsquo;ll tell you honestly which applies after a look.<\/p>\r\n      <\/details>\r\n      <details>\r\n        <summary>What&rsquo;s the difference between local SEO and Google Ads?<\/summary>\r\n        <p>Ads buy you the top spot for as long as you pay, and stop the moment you do. Local SEO earns you visibility in the map pack and organic results that keeps working without a per-click cost. Many service businesses use ads for an immediate push while local SEO builds the lasting foundation underneath.<\/p>\r\n      <\/details>\r\n      <details>\r\n        <summary>Can you just set it up and leave me to it?<\/summary>\r\n        <p>Yes. The one-time setup fixes your foundations and you can run it from there. But local ranking rewards consistency, fresh reviews, active profiles, ongoing content, so most service businesses see the best results keeping a retainer going.
