Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What exactly do you do to help my business rank higher on Google Maps?
We optimize your Google Business Profile with accurate info, photos, keyword-rich content, and consistent citations across directories. We also manage reviews and track performance using tools like Search Console and geo-grids.
2. How long does it take to see results from local SEO efforts?
Most clients start seeing measurable improvements within 30 to 90 days, but stronger results build over time as optimizations take hold and reviews increase.
3. Can you guarantee that my business will appear in the Google Local 3-Pack?
We don’t make guarantees (and no one should), but our proven strategies significantly increase your chances of ranking in the top results — especially in your immediate area.
4. Do you only work with businesses in Upstate New York, or can you help others too?
While we’re based in Saratoga Springs, we help businesses across the U.S. If you serve a local market, we can help you dominate it.
5. How is your Google Maps ranking service different from running Google Ads?
We focus on organic visibility — not paid ads. That means once you're ranked, you keep getting traffic and leads without having to pay for every click.
6. Do you help claim or fix my Google Business Profile if I don’t have access?
Yes. We can help recover, claim, or rebuild your listing to ensure it's properly optimized and under your control.

We set up an automated review request system that sends personalized messages to your customers after a sale or service — making it easier for them to leave positive feedback.
8. Can you help remove or respond to negative reviews?
We help you flag reviews that violate Google’s policies and craft responses that protect your reputation while showing professionalism.

We troubleshoot the issue — whether it’s a suspension, duplicate listings, or incomplete data — and work to get you re-listed and visible again.

We look at local ranking position, call volume, profile engagement, website clicks, and review growth to gauge performance.
