Frequently Asked Questions
What is the core strategy and how does it work?
This product includes Google Business Profile optimization, regular citation building on directories and citations, and Google Map stacks creation. The goal for this is to help improve the performance of the GBP listing within a geo-circle that expands over time. The team will identify 2 core keywords to work on per location, which will be used in creating stacks (citations) directly on the maps.
The stacks the team creatives help improve proximity, which is one keyword ranking factor on local pack. We do these by building citations on Google Maps itself. Our Google stacks will complement the best practices for GBPs and will help boost results. Please take note that this product will help in pushing the efforts on GBP listing through regular citation building and optimization, but is not meant to replace on-site SEO.
How long do positive rankings shifts take to see?
Improvements and tangible ranking increase on the core keywords we track would depend on the competitiveness of a keyword but on average, ranking improvement takes 2-4 weeks to evolve. Other factors that may affect performance include previous penalties and suspensions of the listing.
Who is this product best suited for?
Our package is best suited for business with an active Google Business Profile listing. One key steps on our stacks is building directions to and from the listing to help with proximity, so a Google Business Profile with an address would benefit more from this.
How is this different from traditional onsite SEO?
An onsite Search Engine Optimization package gives more emphasis on helping a website’s visibility rather than the GBP listing.
Though our traditional onsite SEO touches GBP – it does not revolve thoroughly around it. Our Google Maps Optimization package focuses on helping with visibility of your Google Business Profile. This product complements a traditional onsite SEO as onsite optimization helps with organic desktop and mobile rankings and this new one helps boost keywords on local pack and local finder.
