Get found by the customers already searching for you.
Rankvero helps local service businesses climb Google Maps and organic search — with clean technical work, real citations, and content built for how people actually search today.
No contracts to sign before you see what your site actually needs.
Local search, done for service businesses
Everything your rankings need, in one place
Five pillars. You do not need all of them on day one — the audit tells you which two to start with.
Audit, keywords and technical groundwork
Before anything else, we find out what is actually stopping you. A site that cannot be crawled or a profile in the wrong category will not be fixed by more content.
- Full local visibility audit against three named competitors
- Keyword map with intent, difficulty and build order
- Core Web Vitals, crawl and index fixes
- Schema and structured data validated
Start here if you are stuck
Most businesses that feel stuck have a foundation problem, not an effort problem. The audit tells you which.
Pages that answer the search
A page ranks when it clearly answers what someone typed. We rebuild the structure so each page owns one intent and points at the next.
- Titles, headings and meta rewritten for intent
- Keyword cannibalisation resolved
- Service and area pages written properly
- Internal linking map across the site
Already have content?
Usually better. Fixing and focusing existing pages beats starting over, and it works faster.
Google Business Profile and citations
Three businesses take most of the local clicks. Getting there is category strategy, completeness, consistency and review velocity — not luck.
- Primary and secondary category strategy
- Services, attributes, posts and Q&A built out
- Citation audit, duplicate cleanup, NAP fixed
- Review request flow and response templates
Where local revenue actually comes from
Maps converts faster than organic for service businesses. It is usually the first place we look.
Manual links and real authority
Links still decide a lot — but only the ones a human would click. Everything is manually placed, relevant, and reported to you as a live URL.
- Niche and local relevance checked before outreach
- Manual outreach, no templates blasted at scale
- Natural anchor text distribution
- Live link report every month, no PBNs
No automated networks
Private blog networks are a footprint waiting to be found — and the penalty lands on you, not the vendor.
Be the answer, not the tenth result
People now ask assistants what they used to type. Those answers come from pages structured to be understood and quoted.
- Entity and topic mapping for your business
- Question-first page structure
- LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ and HowTo schema
- Visibility tracked in AI results, not just classic SERPs
The part most agencies skip
Not a replacement for SEO — a layer on top of it. Both, or neither works.
Three reasons local businesses stay unfound
Almost every stuck local business is losing on one of these — usually without knowing which.
You’re not in the Map Pack
Google shows three local businesses above everything else, and most people never scroll past them. If you are not one of the three, the customer never learns you exist.
Your details don’t match
A different phone number on one directory than on your site tells Google it cannot fully trust either. Small mismatch, real and compounding ranking cost.
Your pages don’t answer the question
Search moved on. AI overviews and voice answers pull from pages structured to be quoted — not pages padded with keywords and a team photo.
Search changed. Most agencies didn’t.
When someone asks an assistant for “a plumber near me”, the answer is assembled from pages built to be understood — not pages built to be crawled. That is a different job, and almost nobody selling local SEO is doing it yet.
We structure your site with proper schema, clear entity signals and question-first content, so you appear in the answer — while still ranking the traditional way underneath.
Entity mapping
Your business resolved as one consistent thing across the web.
Question-first structure
Answer in the first two sentences, then expand.
Validated schema
Four markup types, tested rather than pasted.
Tracked in AI results
Because “probably working” is not a metric.
How we are different from the agency that called you last week
Small client list
We take a handful of clients at a time. That is a business decision, not modesty — local SEO rewards attention, and attention does not scale to fifty accounts.
No guarantees we cannot keep
Nobody sells #1 rankings because Google does not sell them. We guarantee the work, the reporting, and that you always know what was done.
Built and tested on our own sites
We rank our own local properties in US markets. Nothing gets recommended to a client that has not been paid for and tested with our own money.
Reporting a human can read
Rankings, calls, form fills. Not a forty-page PDF nobody opens, and not a dashboard that hides the flat months.
Manual work, end to end
No automated submissions, no link networks, no AI-generated bulk pages. Slower to build, far harder to lose.
Honest timelines
Sixty to ninety days to first movement, four to six months for meaningful change. If that does not fit your runway, we will say so upfront.
How a Rankvero engagement runs
No mystery, no monthly dashboard theatre. You always know which phase you are in.
Free Audit
Your site, your Google Business Profile and three named competitors, benchmarked. Written, yours to keep, no charge and no obligation.
Plan
A prioritised list: what to fix first, what moves the needle, what can wait a quarter. Sequenced, with reasons.
Build
Technical fixes, on-page rewrite, profile optimisation, citation cleanup. The unglamorous part that actually moves things.
Grow
Ongoing content and manual link building, month over month, at a pace that looks natural.
Report
Rankings, calls and form fills. Plain numbers, including the flat months.
Review
Every quarter we re-benchmark against competitors and adjust the plan rather than repeating it.
Built for service businesses
The mechanics of local search are the same everywhere. The keywords, the seasons and the urgency behind the search are not.
Local SEO for Plumbers
Keyword sets, seasonality and page structure built for how plumbers actually get found.
Local SEO for Landscapers
Keyword sets, seasonality and page structure built for how landscapers actually get found.
Local SEO for HVAC
Keyword sets, seasonality and page structure built for how hvac actually get found.
Local SEO for Roofers
Keyword sets, seasonality and page structure built for how roofers actually get found.
Local SEO for Electricians
Keyword sets, seasonality and page structure built for how electricians actually get found.
Local SEO for Cleaning Services
Keyword sets, seasonality and page structure built for how cleaning services actually get found.
Not on the list? Local search works the same way for any business with a service area.
Straight answers before you book
01How long until I see results?
Local SEO usually shows movement in 60 to 90 days, with meaningful change by month four to six. Anyone promising week-one rankings is selling you something else — usually links you will later pay someone to remove.
02Do you work with businesses outside your country?
Yes. Local SEO is location-specific but the work is remote. We currently handle US, UK, New Zealand, Australian and UAE businesses the same way, using the directory sets and search behaviour of each market.
03Do you guarantee a #1 ranking?
No, and neither should anyone else. Google does not sell placement and cannot be made to. What we guarantee is the work, the reporting, and that you will always know exactly what was done and why.
04What if I already have a website?
Usually better. Fixing and focusing what exists is faster and cheaper than rebuilding, and an older domain carries history that a new one does not.
05Are the backlinks manual?
Every one. Manually prospected, manually placed, and reported to you with the live URL. No automated networks and no private blog networks — those are a footprint waiting to be found, and the penalty lands on you.
06What does the free audit include?
A technical scan of your site, your Google Business Profile reviewed against the businesses currently in your Map Pack, a citation consistency check, and the three things we would fix first. Written, yours to keep, whether or not you hire us.
07What does it cost?
It depends on your market and where you are starting. We quote after the audit, because quoting before it means guessing — and a guess is how people end up paying for links when they needed their site fixed.
08Can I stop whenever I want?
Yes. No long lock-in contracts. If the work is not showing up in your reporting, you should not be obliged to keep paying for it.
