Be the obvious local choice.
When someone nearby searches for what you do, three businesses get shown on the map and everyone else gets skipped. We build the relevance, proximity, and proof signals that put you in those three - and turn the visibility into calls.
Local SEO that's accountable to your phone ringing
Local search is where high-intent buyers make fast decisions. Someone searching "IT support near me" or "marketing agency Doral" isn't researching - they're choosing. The map pack and local results capture the majority of those choices, and the gap between position three and position four is the gap between a ringing phone and silence.
Most local SEO is done lazily: claim the profile, blast some directory submissions, call it a month. We treat your local market like what it is - a winnable competition with a scoreboard. We reverse-engineer who currently owns your map pack and why, then systematically out-build them on the three factors Google actually weighs: relevance, distance, and prominence.
And because local data now feeds AI answers too - when someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI for "the best MSP near Miami," the answer is assembled from the same profiles, reviews, and citations - the work compounds beyond the map pack. We're based in Doral and compete in South Florida ourselves. This isn't theory we sell; it's how we get found.

What you get with Amped
Every engagement covers the full local stack - because skipping any one of these is how businesses stall at position five.
Google Business Profile management
Complete build-out and ongoing management - primary and secondary categories (the single highest-leverage setting in local SEO), services, products, photos, Google Posts, and Q&A. Profiles aren't set-and-forget; Google rewards active ones.
Local keyword & competitor mapping
Search volume and intent research for every city and neighborhood you serve, plus a teardown of who currently holds the map pack and exactly which signals put them there - so we know what winning costs before we start.
Citations & data cleanup
A name-address-phone audit across the directories and data aggregators that feed Google, with duplicates removed and inconsistencies corrected. Unglamorous work that moves rankings - and feeds the AI engines the same clean data.
Review velocity system
A repeatable process for asking every happy customer at the moment of a win - not a plea in your email signature. Plus response management for every review, positive or negative, and review schema so the stars show in search.
Localized landing pages
A genuinely useful page for each market you serve - local proof, local specifics, local intent - written to convert calls, not the thin doorway-page spam Google has been burning for years.
Local rank & lead tracking
Geo-grid map tracking so you see your position block by block, profile insights, and call and form tracking - reported monthly against leads generated, not just positions moved.
What actually moves local rankings now
Google's local algorithm still runs on three factors - relevance, distance, and prominence - but how each one is measured has shifted, and most local SEO advice is years out of date.
Relevance is now an entity problem, not a keyword problem. Google needs to be certain about what you do, where you do it, and for whom - and it cross-references your website, your Business Profile, and every third-party mention to check the story matches. One wrong primary category or a services list that contradicts your site quietly caps your visibility.
Distance you can't fake, but you can stop losing searches you deserve. In dense metros like Miami-Dade and Broward, neighborhood-level targeting - Brickell, Coral Gables, Aventura - frequently beats fighting head-on for the city-wide term, because Google draws a tighter radius than most businesses assume.
Prominence is where markets get won, because it compounds and most competitors are lazy here. Review recency and velocity, response rates, local links from chambers and associations, and real engagement with your profile all feed it. It's also the factor AI assistants lean on hardest when they name businesses in answers - which is why the same work now pays twice.

Frequently asked
Local SEO moves faster than national SEO. With a focused push - profile rebuilt, citations cleaned, reviews flowing, local pages live - most businesses see measurable map-pack movement inside 60-90 days. Highly competitive categories in dense markets take longer to crack the top three, and we'll tell you honestly on the audit call what your market requires.
Yes - from a single shop to multi-location brands. Each location gets its own profile management, its own local pages, and its own geo-grid tracking, because Google ranks locations independently and so do the customers choosing between them.
That's step one, and it matters more than most agencies let on. Conflicting name, address, or phone data erodes Google's confidence in your business and quietly suppresses rankings. We audit every listing that matters, correct or remove the bad ones, and fix the data at the aggregator level so errors stop re-spawning.
More than ever. When someone asks an AI assistant for "the best IT company near Miami," the answer is assembled from Google Business Profiles, reviews, citations, and local content - the exact assets local SEO builds. Clean local data is how you get named in AI answers, not just map results.
Pricing depends on how many locations you have and how competitive your market is - we scope it on the strategy call after seeing your audit results. Engagements are month-to-month with no long-term lock-in, and you own your Google Business Profile, your website, and every account we touch. If we're not earning the retainer, you can walk.
