The Problem: Hard to Compete in Local Search
When customers search for services, they usually add “near me” or their city name.
But showing up in those results isn’t easy:
- Google Maps and “local pack” rankings are competitive.
- SEO keywords are constantly shifting.
- Most businesses don’t know what people are actually searching.
- Competitors that post more content get the edge.
The result? You’re buried under bigger players, even if you’re the better choice.

Local SEO in Plain English

AI shows you where to put those signs — and helps you keep them updated as the neighborhood changes.
