Local SEO
Local SEO services optimize your Google Business Profile, citations, reviews, and location pages so your business ranks in the Google map pack and local results when nearby customers search — the same playbook Wave9 built winning map packs for Canadian service companies.
The map pack takes the top of nearly every local search. If you're not in the top three, you're funding the competitors who are — because 76% of people who search for something nearby visit a business within 24 hours. 'Ranking on page one' means nothing if the map eats every click first.
We report the map block by block with a geo-grid — you see exactly where you rank across your service area, not a single flattering number.
Brick-and-mortar and service-area businesses — cleaners, plumbers, HVAC, dentists, law firms — competing in a defined city or region, plus multi-location brands that need every location ranking, not just HQ.
Local Audit & Geo-Grid Baseline
A geo-grid rank scan of your real map visibility across the service area, plus a full GBP, citation, and review audit.
GBP Domination
Categories, services, description, photos, posts, and Q&A optimized to Google's three local factors: relevance, distance, and prominence.
Citations, Reviews & Pages
NAP consistency across 50+ directories, review-velocity systems, LocalBusiness schema, and geo-targeted location and service pages.
Track & Tighten
Monthly geo-grid reports show map rankings block by block — we push into weak zones until the grid turns green.
