Overview

Local SEO helps nearby customers find and choose you when they search “service + city” (e.g., “lawn care in Abilene”).
For home pros, most jobs are hyper-local, intent-driven, and time-sensitive; so showing up in Google’s local results (Maps + organic) is the difference between idle crews and booked calendars.

What Is Local SEO

Local SEO is the practice of improving your visibility in local search results; especially the Google Maps/Local Pack and nearby organic listings, so people in your service area discover your business, trust you, and contact you.

Why It Matters

  • High-intent traffic: People searching “near me” or “in [city]” are ready to call or book.

  • Maps Pack visibility: The 3-pack (Top three nearby businesses results in Google) can capture the majority of local clicks and calls.

  • Trust signals: Recent reviews, project photos, and clear contact options turn views into leads.

  • Compounding effect: Each new review, service page, and project post strengthens future rankings.

Core Ranking Signals (Simplified)

  • Proximity: How close you are to the searcher or queried city/area.

  • Relevance: How clearly your site and profile explain the services you offer in the areas you serve.

  • Prominence: Your reputation and activity; reviews, responses, fresh photos/posts, and consistent citations.

How Rebolt Helps

  • Company → General: Centralize Name/Address/Phone (NAP), industry, socials, and credibility badges; Rebolt pipes this across your site for consistency.

  • Website → Services & Areas: One page per service and one page per service area (auto-created) to satisfy “service + city” searches.

  • Website → Goals & Lead Capture Tool: Clear, site-wide CTAs (Call, Book, Text, Email) to convert more visits into leads.

  • Social Media → Posts (Automation): Rebolt prompts you for a quick photo + description, then publishes to connected channels and builds a Project page; steady, local, fresh content.

  • Google Profile Optimizer (GBP): Connect, score, and improve your Google Business Profile with actionable recommendations.

  • CallSync & Leads: Track calls/forms, get AI summaries and lead scoring, and see which CTAs/pages drive results.
