Local SEO and proximity marketing

Local SEO agency:
get found by customers
in your area

We’re a local SEO agency: we rank your business on Google Maps and in “near me” searches, so people looking for what you offer in your city walk into your store, venue or practice.

Why does local marketing
happen online today?

The paradox of today: to win customers in your neighborhood or city, you need to rank well on a global channel like Google.

Computers and, above all, smartphones get closer to your potential customers than any form of traditional advertising.

Everyone has a phone in their hand: at work, in their free time, while they wait. That’s why it’s the foundation of any local SEO strategy that works.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about local SEO

What is local SEO?

Local SEO is the set of actions that make a business appear in geo-located searches on Google and Google Maps, such as “dentist in Rome” or “restaurant near me”. It covers optimizing your Google Business Profile, your website, your reviews and your local citations.

How long does local SEO take to show results?

The first improvements on your Google Business Profile and on Maps are often visible within a few weeks. Stable rankings for the most competitive searches in your area usually take 3 to 6 months, depending on the competition and your starting point.

What is Google Business Profile and why does it matter so much?

It’s Google’s free business listing (formerly Google My Business) that appears on Maps and in local results with your address, opening hours, photos and reviews. For a business with a physical location it is often the first point of contact with a customer, so it must be complete and kept up to date.

How important are reviews for local SEO?

Very. The number, quality and frequency of Google reviews influence local visibility and, above all, customers’ decisions. We help you collect reviews the right way and reply professionally, including to negative ones.

Do I need a website for local SEO?

It’s strongly recommended. Your Google Business Profile performs better when it links to a fast, clear website with consistent name, address and phone number (NAP), and pages dedicated to your services and the area you serve.

Does local SEO work for businesses with several locations?

Yes. For businesses with several stores, clinics or offices we create a Google Business Profile and a dedicated page for each location, so each one can rank in searches for its own city or neighborhood.

Does local SEO help you appear in AI answers?

Yes. ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews use local data such as business listings, reviews and citations on trusted websites to recommend local businesses. Consistent, complete information everywhere increases your chances of being cited.
