Step 1 of 3
Signs it’s time
Signs Scottsdale customers aren’t finding you
You show up in some neighborhoods and vanish in others
Map results change with where the searcher is standing. You might rank near your shop and be invisible a few miles away, where half your customers live.
Newer competitors outrank you
A business with fewer years and fewer jobs shows up first because its profile and pages are better optimized. Experience doesn’t rank on its own.
Your Business Profile is doing the bare minimum
One category, a few old photos, no services listed, no posts. Google has little reason to show it.
Your reviews don’t match your reputation
Customers who never get asked don’t leave reviews. A competitor with steady new reviews looks more active and more trusted.
What’s included
What a Scottsdale SEO company should actually do
Local SEO is a set of specific jobs, not a vague monthly retainer. This is what ours includes. For the full service, see local SEO services.
Service pages that match local searches
One strong page per service, written the way Scottsdale customers search, so Google has a clear page to rank for each thing you sell.
Technical SEO fixes
Speed, mobile usability, indexing, structured data and site structure fixed so Google can read and trust your site.
A review system you’ll actually use
On Professional and Growth plans, we set up a simple way to ask every customer for a review after the job: a review link, QR code and email and text templates. We monitor new reviews and help you write responses. You send the requests.
Local citations and listings
Your name, address and phone made consistent across the directories and data sources Google checks.
Completed-job content with FieldPins
Each finished job becomes a short, photo-backed record of the service and where you did it, which shows Google and customers the work you do across Scottsdale. Learn about FieldPins.
If your website itself is the problem (slow, dated, missing service pages), start with Scottsdale web design. SEO works best on a site built to convert.
Up close
Scottsdale search is crowded and close
Scottsdale is compact and competitive. In most service categories, many businesses sit within a few miles of each other and compete for the same searches. In a tight market like that, small advantages decide who makes the map pack.
Relevance
How well your business matches the search.
What we work on: Categories, services, service pages and on-page content.
Distance
How close you are to the person searching.
What we work on: We can’t move your business, so we track where you rank across your service area and build content for the areas you serve.
Prominence
How well known and trusted you are.
What we work on: Reviews, citations, links and steady profile activity.
Because results shift from block to block, we don’t report a single ranking. We scan a grid of points across your Scottsdale service area and show you where you’re winning and where you’re not.
Results
Results we can show you. Measured, not promised.
We don’t have a Scottsdale client result to show yet. Here’s how we measure, using our own business and a client project, both labeled by location.

Scottsdale SEO questions
The questions Scottsdale business owners ask before starting SEO.
What is SEO?Local SEO for contractorsWhy HVAC websites need SEOHow much does SEO cost for a Scottsdale business?
Plans start at $149 a month for one city with Local Starter. If you also serve nearby cities like Phoenix, Tempe or Chandler, Local Professional ($349/mo, up to three cities) or Local Growth (from $749/mo, up to six) covers them. Every plan starts with an audit of your site, Business Profile and rankings, included in your first month. There’s a 3-month minimum, then it’s month to month. See all three plans on the pricing page.
How long does it take to rank in Scottsdale?
Business Profile and technical fixes can show results within a few months. Ranking for competitive services usually takes longer, and the more businesses competing for a term, the longer it takes. Your monthly report shows the progress.
Can you get me into the Google map pack?
We can’t guarantee it, and nobody honestly can. Google controls it, and results change with the searcher’s location. What we can do is fix everything that holds you back and track your position across your whole service area.
Do I need an office in Scottsdale to rank there?
Map results favor businesses close to the searcher, so your verified business location matters. If you serve Scottsdale from nearby, we build service-area pages and content to compete in organic results, and we’ll tell you honestly where the map pack is realistic.
Are you a Scottsdale-based SEO company?
No. We’re based in Yuma and work with Scottsdale businesses remotely. All the work happens online anyway: your profile, your website and your reporting. You work directly with Greg.
Do I need a new website for SEO?
Not always. Many sites can be fixed. If yours is slow, hard to use on phones or missing service pages, start with Scottsdale web design.
Do you work with businesses in Phoenix, Tempe or Chandler?
Yes, across the Valley. See Phoenix SEO.
What’s in the monthly report?
Where you rank across your service area, Business Profile views and actions, website traffic, calls and form fills, plus what we did and what’s next. Written in plain English.
