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.
Everything Google checks before it sends folks your way.
Most of local search is unglamorous: listings that match, a complete profile, pages that say where you are. Here's every piece I handle.
Categories, services, hours, photos, posts, Q&A: every field that matters, filled in like a person did it (because I did).
I fix the 30+ places your address, phone, or name show up wrong online. Consistency is half of local search.
I look at what your neighbors are actually winning for, where you can sneak in, and where it's not worth the fight.
Page titles, headers, schema, image alt text. The plumbing search engines look for, already correct on your site.
A simple system for asking happy customers, plus I monitor and respond, so you don't have to refresh your phone.
A one-page report you can actually read. Where you moved up, where calls came from, what I'm doing next month.
A few small businesses worth showing off.
Hometown Realty
A homepage with the same front-porch welcome this Kentuckiana team gives in person.
The Coffee Truck Girl
A homepage as cheerful as the flower truck itself, with this week's stops right up front.
Cesar's Total Lawn Care
A homepage as sharp and dependable as the lawns Cesar's crew leaves behind.
RoSully & Co Wellness
A calm, unhurried homepage that greets you the way the barn does. No rush, no noise.
Caleb M. Keller
A one-page introduction that does the handshake before the meeting starts.
Big Beautiful Screens
A product site that gets out of the way and lets the screens do the talking.
Start with the audit, stay for the tending.
The audit stands on its own: you get the checklist and can run with it. If you'd rather I do the work, it's a flat monthly, quoted up front.
You want the diagnosis. I give you the checklist and you take it from there.

What folks ask about showing up on Google.
Don't see your question? Send me a note. 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.
