Local SEO for New Albany & Kentuckiana businesses

So your neighbors can finally find you.

If you live by walk-ins, lesson signups, and "do you have anyone Saturday?" calls, Google has to know you exist. I make sure it does — for one flat number, not a black-box agency contract.

What's included · the kit

Everything you need to open the doors.

No surprise add-ons or "phase two" bills. Every site I ship comes with the things below — for one flat number I agree on up front.

01
Google Business Profile setup

Categories, services, hours, photos, posts, Q&A — every field that matters, filled in like a person did it (because I did).

02
Citations & directory cleanup

I fix the 30+ places your address, phone, or name show up wrong online. Consistency is half of local search.

03
Keyword + competitor research

I look at what your neighbors are actually winning for, where you can sneak in, and where it's not worth the fight.

04
On-page SEO

Page titles, headers, schema, image alt text. The plumbing search engines look for — already correct on your site.

05
Review strategy that doesn't feel gross

A simple system for asking happy customers — plus I monitor and respond, so you don't have to refresh your phone.

06
Monthly reporting (in English)

A one-page report you can actually read. Where you moved up, where calls came from, what I'm doing next month.

How it goes · the timeline

From hello to launch,
in about 4 weeks.

I move at a steady working pace, with a weekly review you don't have to chase me for. I'm a texter, so quick questions get quick answers. Every step has a deliverable; nothing's a mystery.

Week 0
Audit

I pull the current standing — GBP, citations, on-page — and tell you what's broken and what's missing.

Week 1
Cleanup

Fix every inconsistency I find. This is the unsexy work that quietly does most of the heavy lifting.

Weeks 2–3
Build

Keyword targeting, GBP optimization, on-page work, schema. Set the foundations for the next 12 months.

Ongoing
Tend

Monthly check-ins, fresh GBP posts, review monitoring, and adjustments as the map shifts.

FAQ · the usual questions

Things folks tend to ask.

Don't see your question? Text me — I usually answer the same day.

Expect real movement (rankings, calls, map appearances) in 4–8 weeks. GBP fixes happen fastest; deeper keyword work takes a quarter or two. Anyone promising you page-one in two weeks is making it up.

No. I ask for a 3-month minimum because SEO needs runway to show its work, but month-4 forward is month-to-month. If I'm not earning my keep, you can leave any time.

Both. Local SEO is GBP-heavy, but the website still matters: page titles, schema, page speed, and content. I work both sides because they reinforce each other.

You can rank on the map without one, and I’ll do that work. But I’ll also tell you straight when it’s time, and I can build it (see Web Design).

I set up the asking system and monitor incoming reviews: you get a notification, I draft a reply, you approve. Bad reviews get a human reply within a business day.

Paid ads (Google Ads / Meta). That's a different muscle, and I'd rather refer you to a specialist than dabble. Same for international SEO. I'm local-first, on purpose.

Ready when you are

Let's build you a
spot on the map.

Free 30-min call. I'll listen, ask a lot, and tell you straight if I'm the right fit. If not, I probably know someone who is.
