Why it hurts

Why most local businesses lose to weaker competitors.

The local pack does not reward the best business — it rewards the best-optimized business. Which is why the plumber with three trucks and mediocre reviews outranks the family-owned firm that has been in town for thirty years. Four reasons this happens, over and over.

01

Incomplete Google Business Profile

Half the fields blank, wrong primary category, no service list, five photos from 2019. Your competitor filled it out properly and now gets 4× your map pack impressions.

02

Stale, inconsistent citations

Your NAP — name, address, phone — is different across the sixty directories Google checks. Every mismatch is a small trust signal working against you.

03

Unmanaged reviews

Nobody asks for reviews on a schedule. Nobody replies within a business day. Google notices; so does every prospective client reading before they call.

04

Vanity keyword targeting

Your team chases "roofer" (impossibly broad) when the money is in "TPO roof repair Cypress" and eleven similar phrases nobody in your city is optimizing for.

Why bundle

One system, not five checklists.

Most local SEO agencies sell services the way a restaurant sells sides. GBP over here. Citations over there. Reviews on a separate invoice. Each with a different account manager, a different dashboard, and a different weekly email. It is efficient for the agency and expensive for you.

We bundle because these five deliverables are the same system. A well-optimized GBP is worth twice as much when your NAP is consistent across the directories Google cross-references. A review flow is worth three times as much when the responses use the local keywords your service pages are already ranking for. A link built on the wrong page moves nothing; a link built on the page we just wrote for that keyword moves everything.

You get one dashboard, one Friday recap, one monthly call, one direct line to the humans doing the work — and one number at the bottom of the report that either went up or did not.

What's included

Five deliverables, one strategy.

The five moving parts of every Local SEO Strategy engagement. Each can be audited on its own — most owners want to see the audit before deciding what to prioritize.

01

Google Business Profile

The single highest-ROI asset in local search — and 80% of them are set up wrong. Category audit, service list, weekly Posts, geo-tagged photos, Q&A management and review response scripts.

View deliverable
02

Local citations & directories

Consistent NAP across the sixty directories that actually move the needle — and pruning the ones that do not. Chamber of Commerce, industry directories, local business associations.

View deliverable
03

Review management & reputation

A system that makes asking effortless, responding consistent, and one-star reviews a minor event. Review-request flow tied to job completion, response templates, sentiment reporting.

View deliverable
04

Local keyword research

Not what a keyword tool fantasizes about — what people in your city, at 9pm on a Tuesday, are actually typing. Neighborhood-level intent, service-specific pages, seasonal patterns.

View deliverable
05

Local link building

Partnerships, local press, sponsorships. Real relationships in your city — not bought, not begged, not from a PBN. The kind of links that hold their value five years from now.

Weekly reporting & owner call

A five-line Friday recap you actually read to the end. One monthly strategy call. One dashboard tracking rankings, calls, forms and booked jobs — attributed to the query and neighborhood.

What clients say

The scoreboard, not the slide deck.

"We stopped guessing what was working. Within a few months, the right calls were coming from the right neighborhoods, and we finally hired the second crew we'd been putting off for two years."
Dana Ruiz
Owner, Ruiz & Sons HVAC, Houston TX
"I've worked with three agencies before. Code to Conversion is the first that showed me a scoreboard I actually understood — and the first that made changes I could point to in the same week."
Michael Park
Owner, Park Family Dental, Sacramento CA
"They fixed the mobile site and connected it to our Google Business Profile in three weeks. Booked landscaping jobs doubled by month four. We're already discussing year two."

About the founder

I stopped chasing pretty websites. Started chasing clients for my clients.

I spent the first eight years of my career shipping websites that won design awards and did nothing for the business paying the bill. Beautiful hero videos. Nobody clicking the CTA. Elegant portfolio grids. Nobody calling.

Code to Conversion is what I built after I decided that was the wrong game. Every engagement starts with one question: what does a booked job cost you today, and can we cut that number in half? Local SEO is the answer for most of the businesses I work with — plumbers, dentists, designers, contractors, med spas — because the buying intent is already there, sitting in a search someone typed at 9pm on a Tuesday.

If you are tired of paying for marketing that does not measurably return the check you wrote for it, I would rather bore you with specifics on a call than sell you on vague. That is the whole pitch.

FAQ

What people ask about our Local SEO service.

The direct answers most owners want before signing anything. If yours is not here, ask on the discovery call.

How fast do I see results?

Google Business Profile and citation work usually shows visible movement in 2-4 weeks. Competitive terms — the ones that convert to paid work — take 3-6 months. Anyone quoting faster is either buying it in ads and hiding the cost, or lying. The audit sets a realistic per-keyword expectation before you sign anything.

Can I buy these deliverables individually?

Yes. Each of the five is available standalone. But the bundle gets better pricing (about 30% cheaper than five separate scopes) and the deliverables reinforce each other — a link built on a page we already optimized moves twice as much as one built on a page we did not.

Do you sub-contract?

No. Every engagement is handled directly by one of our two senior partners plus one SEO and web development generalist. No offshore content mill, no rotating juniors, no account manager who knows your name and nothing else. When you email us, one of us replies.

Do I need a new website?

Most of the time, no. We audit what you have, fix the technical SEO issues that are dragging rankings, and add the schema and conversion elements that are missing. A full rebuild is a separate conversation, and only the right call if your existing platform is actively fighting the SEO work.

Are there long-term contracts?

Three months to start — that is how long it takes for the work to stop looking like effort and start looking like results. After month three it is strictly month-to-month. Cancel with 30 days' notice and keep every asset we built for you: pages, dashboards, review flows, everything.

What if I already run paid ads?

Local SEO builds the 3-6 month pipeline; paid ads deliver leads today. Most of our clients run both. The organic data we surface (which queries convert, which neighborhoods respond) usually makes the paid ads better within 60 days.
