Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about SEO for local businesses. Have another question? Email us.
What is local SEO?
Local SEO is the work of getting your business to show up when people nearby search for your service, whether that's in the Google Map Pack, regular Google results and, increasingly, AI answers. It covers your Google Business Profile, your website's local pages, reviews, citations and technical health.
How long does SEO take to work?
Most businesses see early movement in 6 to 12 weeks once technical fixes and Google Business Profile improvements are live. Competitive keywords and new websites usually take 4 to 6 months to reach page one. We show you progress every month so you're never guessing.
Do I need a new website?
Not always. Many sites just need technical fixes, better page structure and local landing pages. If your current site is slow, hard to edit or can't be indexed properly, we'll tell you plainly and explain the cost of fixing versus rebuilding.
Do you only work with businesses in Frankfort and Will County?
Our focus is Chicagoland, including Chicago and the southwest suburbs like Frankfort, Mokena, New Lenox, Joliet and Tinley Park. We also work remotely with service businesses elsewhere in Illinois and across the U.S.
Do you offer video services?
Yes. We shoot business promo videos and social media content (Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts), and we offer editing-only services if you already have footage. Video on your website and Google Business Profile also helps you stand out in local search.
What does AI search optimization mean?
Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews now answer questions directly. We structure your site with clear service information, schema markup and trustworthy content so these systems understand who you are, where you work and when to recommend you.
