Local SEO for Howard County and Baltimore-area businesses

When someone in Ellicott City searches for a plumber, Google usually shows a map with three businesses near the top of the page. I work every month to put yours in that group.

What I do each month

• Set up your Google Business Profile, then keep its hours, services, and photos current.
• Ask your happy customers for reviews, and reply to every review you get.
• Make your name, address, and phone match everywhere you're listed online.
• Add pages to your website for the towns and services people actually search for.
• Send you a short monthly note: where you show up, and how many calls came from Google.

What to expect

Real movement takes two to three months. Anyone who promises the top spot next week is selling something else.

Where I work

Howard County, Baltimore County, Baltimore, Anne Arundel County, Montgomery County, and Carroll County. I'm local to Howard County, so I know these towns.
