How Google decides local results

Google says local results are based mainly on three things: relevance, distance and prominence. Relevance is how well your profile and pages match what the person searched for. Distance is how far you are from the searcher, or from the location they typed. Prominence is how well known you are, based on reviews, links, mentions and your overall web presence.

You cannot change distance, so local SEO work goes into the other two: making your profile and pages an exact match for what customers search, and building the reviews, citations and links that show you are an established business.

Local SEO for businesses with several branches

Each branch needs its own verified Google Business Profile with its own address, phone number and photos, and its own page on your website. Sharing one profile across cities, or pointing every branch to the home page, is one of the most common reasons multi-location businesses stay invisible on the map. We set up and manage profiles and pages branch by branch, and report each one separately. Multi-location work usually falls under the Growth package.

Who we have done local SEO for

Our local SEO work has covered healthcare providers, colleges, interior design firms and service businesses in Bengaluru and Mangaluru. You can see client examples on our Bangalore SEO page. City-specific pages: Mangalore, Mysore, Hubli and Shivamogga.

Local SEO questions

What do local SEO services include?

Local SEO covers Google Business Profile optimisation, local keyword research, on-page fixes for service and location pages, citations on Indian and global directories, review collection and replies, local schema markup, and monthly reporting on map rankings, calls and direction requests.

How much do local SEO services cost in India?

Our Local SEO package for a single-location business runs from Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000 a month, plus GST as applicable. Multi-location businesses and competitive categories move to the Growth package at Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000 a month. The full rate card is on our SEO pricing page.

How long does local SEO take to work?

Most local businesses see movement in three to six months. The first month goes on profile clean-up, citation fixes and page work, so early gains show up as more profile views and calls before they show up as top map positions.

Can you rank my business in the Google map pack?

We work on the factors Google says decide local results: relevance, distance and prominence. Distance from the searcher is outside anyone’s control, so no agency can promise a map pack position. We improve relevance and prominence and report your actual ranking every month.

Do I need a separate Google Business Profile for each branch?

Yes. Each branch that serves customers in person needs its own verified profile with its own address, phone number, category and photos, plus a matching location page on your website.

Do you provide local SEO outside Bangalore?

Yes. We work from Bengaluru, Mangaluru and Mysuru, and handle local SEO for businesses across Karnataka and the rest of India. Location pages and profiles are built for each city you serve.
