What Local SEO Should Actually Do

Local SEO isn’t about tricks. It’s about making it easy for homeowners to:

  • Find you in your service area
  • Trust you when they land on your listing
  • Contact you without friction

That’s what we build.

What’s Included in Our Local SEO Service

We focus on the parts that move the needle for a solo handyman:

  • Google Business Profile setup/cleanup (categories, services, service area, photos, description)
  • Trust signals (reviews strategy + proof elements that increase calls)
  • Local keyword targeting (based on what homeowners search in your area)
  • On-page local SEO for your website (titles, headings, service areas, internal linking)
  • Citations + consistency (name/address/phone cleanup where it matters)
  • Tracking basics (so you can see calls, form fills, and direction requests)

The #1 Local SEO Mistake Handymen Make

Most handymen try to rank with a generic homepage and a list of services.

But Google (and homeowners) respond better when your site has:

  • clear service pages
  • clear service area signals
  • consistent business info
  • strong proof (reviews + photos)

If your website is the foundation, local SEO is how people discover it.

Our Simple 3-Step Local SEO Plan

  1. Fix the basics (Google Business Profile + consistency)
  2. Build local relevance (service areas + service pages + on-page improvements)
  3. Grow trust (reviews + proof + ongoing optimization)

Who This Is For

Local SEO is a fit if you:

  • want steady leads without relying on referrals
  • serve a specific area and want to dominate it
  • have a website (or want us to build one first)

If you don’t have a solid website yet, start here.

What Happens If You Ignore Local SEO

Without local visibility, you’ll keep dealing with:

  • competitors showing up above you
  • slow weeks you can’t predict
  • “tire-kicker” leads from random platforms

A solid local presence helps you get found by homeowners who are already looking for help.

FAQs

How long does local SEO take?
It varies by market and competition, but the goal is to build a foundation that grows over time—not quick hacks.

Do I need a physical address?
Not necessarily. Many handymen use a service-area setup. We’ll set it up the right way for your situation.

Can you help me get more reviews?
Yes. We’ll give you a simple review system that fits how handymen actually work.

Do you do Google Ads too?
Yes. If you want leads faster, ads can work well when local SEO and the website foundation are in place.
