When someone nearby searches for the work you do, the first thing Google puts in front of them is a small map with three local businesses on it. Rise Marketing HQ runs local SEO for contractors and service businesses across the US, so yours is one of the three.
Plans start at $1,000 a month, run month to month, and come with our 60-day guarantee.
Each number below comes from the client's own Google accounts or call tracking. Different trades, different towns, the same kind of work.
An electrician in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. On 1 May 2025 Lehmann held an average map position of 1.9 for "Wauwatosa electrician", and calls are up roughly 600% since we started. It's the same map-pack work behind our SEO for electricians.
See Lehmann's full resultsAuto repair in Milwaukee. After four months on the shop's Google Business Profile and SEO, the profile was producing 300 to 500 calls a month at the six-month mark, against 50 to 60 before.
See First Rate's full resultsA roofing and general contractor in Madison that came to us in April 2026 getting one or two calls a month. Today it averages 18+ calls a month, plus 10 to 15 online leads. More on local SEO for roofers.
See Buckshot's full resultsA remodeler serving Waukesha and the surrounding metro. Six months into local search work, inbound calls were up 125%.
See T&J's full resultsGoogle picks the three map results by relevance, by distance from whoever is searching and by how well known the business is. Distance is out of anyone's hands, so we put the effort into relevance and reputation.
Primary category, services, service areas, photos, hours and weekly posts. The profile carries more weight in the map results than anything else you control, so it is the first thing we fix.
A simple way for happy customers to leave a review, and a reply to every one. Fresh reviews and real replies tell Google, and the next customer, that you are active.
Every directory and data site should show the same business name, address and phone number. We track down the outdated listings and correct them.
Pages on your website for each service and each town you actually cover, so your profile and your site back each other up.
Links and mentions from local organizations, suppliers and industry sites. They are the signals that make a business look established to Google.
Tracked phone numbers and form tracking from the start, so you can see how many calls the map listing and the website bring in each month.
This page covers local SEO as a whole, for businesses anywhere in the US. Two related services, and our general SEO work, have their own pages.
If your website is in good shape and you just want someone to manage your profile every month, see Google Business Profile management.
We have a version of this page written for Milwaukee businesses, with local examples: local SEO in Milwaukee.
Rankings for your website beyond the map, in the regular results, are part of our SEO services.
Most of our local SEO clients are contractors and shops that get their work from people searching nearby: electricians, roofers, remodelers, general contractors and auto repair. If your phone rings because someone typed "near me", this is for you.
Where you are doesn't matter much. Clients a few miles from our Brookfield office and clients in other states get the same calls, video meetings and monthly reports.
Your first call is always with Christos Karampetsos, who founded Rise. Week to week, Filipos Maziotis runs your account, and the rest of our eight-person team works on listings, pages, writing and links.
A plain report with the calls, form fills, map rankings and profile views from the past month, plus what we're doing next and why. Questions get an answer within one business day.
Map results can move faster than regular rankings, but they still take steady work. This is the usual order.
We start with the free 24-hour audit, then fix your Business Profile, correct your main listings and set up call tracking.
We build or improve the service and town pages your profile points to, and start a steady routine for asking customers for reviews.
We work on local links and mentions, then go through the numbers with you: map rankings, profile calls and form fills against where you began.

With Rise, between $1,000 and $5,000 a month. A single location usually fits one of the lower plans, and businesses with several locations need the top one.
Profile and listing fixes often show within the first couple of months, which is why our guarantee runs 60 days. Holding a top-three map spot in a busy market takes longer, usually several months of steady work.
Yes. We're in Brookfield, Wisconsin, but nearly all local SEO work happens online, so clients in other states work with us by phone, video and shared reports.
The block of three businesses with a map that Google shows above the regular results for local searches. Getting into it is the main goal of local SEO, because it sits above everything else on the page.
Profile management is one part of local SEO: running the profile itself. Local SEO also covers reviews, listings, your website's service and town pages, links and tracking.
No one honestly can. Google decides the order, and the distance to each searcher changes it. What we do guarantee is noticeable results within 60 days, or your money back.
