Where are you on Google?

Hard to find, or found for the wrong jobs?

Most owners we talk to are in one of three spots. Wherever you start, we aim for the same finish: the call for your money job. And we do the work, so you never have to become an SEO expert.

1Not found yet

Google barely knows you're there.

No profile, an unverified one, or one with no photos, no reviews and no website behind it. People who need exactly what you do call someone else, and you never hear about it.

We put you on the map: a verified, complete profile built around your money job.

2Found nearby

You show up, but only around the corner.

Near your shop you look fine. A short drive away you disappear, usually behind shops with more reviews. Most of your city never sees you.

We spread your reach across your whole service area, and map it for you every month.

3Found for the wrong jobs

You're doing OK, just not for the jobs that pay.

You come up when people search for your trade, so the phone rings for small repairs and price checks. The search for your best-paying job goes to someone else.

We aim Google at your money job: the work you'd take every day.

Same business. Two searches. Very different calls.

Example
4The goal

You don't need more searches. You need the right ones.

The closer a search gets to one job in one place, the closer that person is to calling. Fewer people search for it, but each call is a big ticket, and often nobody nearby has a real answer for it yet.

Questions owners ask us.

Straight answers about money jobs, Google, reviews, AI search, pricing and how we work. 46 questions, grouped by topic.

Is this right for my business?

What does Find Me Locals actually do?

Find Me Locals helps local businesses win more of the jobs that pay them best from Google. We pick your money job, then build your Google Business Profile, reviews, listings and website around it, so people searching for that job anywhere in your city find you and call. You see every bit of the work in a short weekly email.

What's a money job?

Your money job is the service that pays you best and that you'd happily do all week: an AC replacement instead of a filter change, a full roof instead of a patch, a custom cake instead of a cupcake. We start with that one, because one more of those a month is often worth more than ten small calls.

Can you focus on more than one service?

Yes, one at a time. We start with your money job so the work is focused and you can see it moving on your monthly map. Once it's winning, we can add a second service. Your profile still lists everything you do the whole time.

If you focus on one job, will I lose my other work?

No. Your profile still shows all your services, and better reviews, photos, listings and a stronger profile help your whole business. We simply lead with the job that pays you best, so more of the calls you get are the ones you want.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

We work with local businesses that serve customers in a city or service area: trades like plumbers, HVAC companies, roofers, electricians, tree services, landscapers and cleaners, and professional firms like notaries, accountants, bookkeepers and small law and advisory practices. If customers search Google for what you do plus “near me” or your city name, we can help. We don't build online stores with large product catalogs.

Do you work with notaries, accountants and other professional firms?

Yes. Professional firms have money jobs too, like real-estate closings for a notary or a monthly bookkeeping client for an accountant. We follow your professional order's rules on advertising and testimonials, and any AI assistant we set up only takes messages and books appointments. It never gives professional advice.

I already get a lot of word of mouth. Do I still need this?

Yes, because even referred customers usually look you up on Google before they call. If they find few reviews, old photos or the wrong hours, some will pick someone else. We make sure what they find backs up what they heard, and we bring in people who have never heard of you.

I'm a small business. Is local SEO worth the money?

It depends on what your money job is worth. If one job brings in a few thousand dollars, one or two more a month can cover the cost, and the calculator on this page lets you check with your own numbers. Your free audit shows how often people in your area search for that job, so you can judge before spending anything.

What's in the free audit, and is it really free?

Yes, it's free with no obligation. Tell us the job you want more of, and we send a short screen recording showing how often people in your city search for it, where you show up for it, who wins those calls today and how their reviews compare with yours, plus the three fixes that matter most.

Google Maps and local SEO

What is local SEO, in plain English?

Local SEO is the work that helps your business show up when people nearby search Google for what you do, especially on Google Maps. It covers your Google Business Profile, your reviews, your listings on other sites and your website. Done well, more of the right people find you and call.

How do I get my business to show up on Google Maps?

Start with a verified Google Business Profile that's filled out properly: the right categories, services, service areas, hours, photos and description. After that, steady new reviews, regular posts, consistent listings across the web and a website that backs it all up help Google trust you and show you more often. We handle all of it.

Why does my competitor show up above me on Google?

Usually because Google sees them as more relevant, closer to the person searching, or more trusted. Common reasons are more and newer reviews, better categories, a more complete profile and more consistent listings. Your free audit compares you side by side with your top three competitors so you can see exactly where the gap is.

Why do I only show up near my shop and not across the city?

Google weighs distance heavily, so many businesses rank well close to their address and fade out a few miles away. We map your position across your whole service area, then build relevance and trust with reviews, keywords, posts and service-area pages so you show up further out. Your monthly city map shows the spread.

I work from home and don't have a storefront. Can I still show up on Google?

Yes. Google lets service-area businesses hide their address and list the areas they serve instead. We set that up correctly so you can show up across your service area without showing your home address. You still need a real address for Google's verification.

Can you help me show up in nearby towns I serve?

Yes. We add those towns as service areas, build pages on your website for your main services there, and work them into your posts and review replies. Showing up in a town far from your address is harder than showing up nearby, so we'll be straight with you about what's realistic.

What is a Google Business Profile, and do I need one?

It's your free business listing on Google Search and Maps: the panel with your name, reviews, photos, hours and call button. For a local business it's often the first thing customers see, and many call straight from it. If you don't have one, or it isn't verified, that's the first thing we fix.

Do I need a new website to rank on Google?

Not always, but we recommend letting us build and manage it. Your website holds your money-job page, your service-area pages and the code Google reads, and it's where add-ons like a chat assistant or online booking plug in. When we run it, we make changes the same week without waiting on another developer. If you'd rather keep your current site, we'll work with it as long as we can get access.

Do you build and manage websites?

Yes. We build fast, simple websites for trades and professional firms and keep them running: your money-job page, service-area pages, contact and booking forms, updates, fixes and hosting. We don't build online stores with large product catalogs.

I lost access to my Google profile, or it got suspended. Can you help?

Yes. We help you recover ownership or file a reinstatement request with Google, and fix whatever caused the problem. Google makes the final decision on suspensions, so we can't promise the outcome, but we know what Google asks for and how to present it.

Google reviews

How do you get me more Google reviews?

We send every customer a short, friendly review request by text or email after the job, with a direct link to your Google review page. We can also invite past customers back. Plenty of happy customers will leave a review when someone asks at the right moment and makes it easy.

Are the reviews real? Do you buy or write reviews?

Every review comes from a real customer. We never buy, fake or write reviews, and we don't offer customers rewards for reviewing you, because Google forbids it and can remove reviews or penalize your profile. We simply make it easy for happy customers to say so.

Can you remove bad reviews?

We can't delete reviews; only Google can. We flag reviews that break Google's rules, such as spam, fake reviews or reviews from people who were never customers, and Google decides whether to remove them. For honest negative reviews, we help you post a calm, professional reply, which future customers notice.

Will you reply to my Google reviews for me?

Yes. We reply to every review in your voice, thanking happy customers and responding calmly to unhappy ones. Where it fits naturally, replies mention the service and the area, which helps Google understand what you do and where. You can approve replies to negative reviews before they go out.

Will my reviews mention my money job?

Often, yes, in your customers' own words. We send the review request right after each money job, so that's the job on their mind, and many mention it and their area on their own. We don't tell customers what to write: Google's rules say businesses shouldn't ask for specific content in a review. We put your keywords in the places you control instead: your replies, your profile, your posts and your website.

AI search

What is AI search, and does it matter for a local business?

AI search is when people ask tools like ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews or Perplexity to recommend a business, such as “who's a good roofer in Tampa?” These tools draw on your Google profile, reviews, website and other listings. If that information is thin or inconsistent, they're less likely to mention you.

How do I get ChatGPT to recommend my business?

Make sure the facts about your business are complete, consistent and easy to read everywhere AI tools look: your Google profile, reviews, listings and website, including clear FAQ answers and structured data. We do that work and check every month what the main AI tools say about your trade in your area.

Can you guarantee AI tools will recommend my business?

No. Nobody controls what ChatGPT or Google's AI says, and anyone who guarantees it is guessing. We make sure these tools have accurate, strong information about your business, and we show you each month what they say about your trade in your city.

Results and timing

How long does local SEO take to work?

Profile fixes and new reviews usually start showing within the first month. Spreading your reach across a whole city usually takes a few months, depending on your trade, your city and your competition. You'll see progress on your monthly city map and in your weekly email.

Can you guarantee I'll rank #1 on Google?

No, and be careful with anyone who does. Google decides rankings, and they change by search and by where the person searching is standing. We promise the work, show you every bit of it, and track your position across your city every month.

How will I know local SEO is working?

Every week you get a short email listing exactly what we did: posts, photos, review requests, replies and fixes. Every month you get a map of where you show up across your city, how your reviews compare with competitors, and what AI tools say about you. Google's own stats also show calls and direction requests from your profile.

What happens if I don't see results?

We tell you early and plainly. Your monthly city map shows whether your reach is growing, and if something isn't moving, we explain why and what we're changing. There's no contract, so you're never locked into a service that isn't working for you.

Pricing and contracts

How much does local SEO cost with Find Me Locals?

Our Get Found plan is $1,000 a month, built around your money job. It covers your Google profile, a website page for that job, posts, review requests and replies, listings, AI search checks and reporting. Smaller local businesses may qualify for our scholarship program, and we'll tell you on your audit call if yours does.

Is there a contract?

No. You pay month to month and can cancel anytime with a quick email. Your price stays locked for as long as you stay with us. If you cancel and come back later, it's the standard rate.

How do I pay, and is it safe?

You pay by card through a secure checkout page that we send by text or email. You type your card details in yourself; we never ask for a card number over the phone. You get a receipt from Find Me Locals by email right away, and there's no contract.

Do I have to pay for Google ads too?

No. Our core plan is about showing up in Google's free map and search results, not paid ads, so there's no ad spend. If you run Google Ads or Local Services Ads, that budget is paid directly to Google and is separate from our fee.

Do I have to buy add-ons like text-back or an AI assistant?

No. They're optional and priced separately. Most businesses start with getting found. Once more customers are calling, we show you how many calls or messages you're missing and whether text-back, online booking or an AI assistant would pay for itself.

Working with us

How much of my time will this take?

Very little. In the first week you give us access to your Google profile, approve the updates, and send some job photos and a customer list if you have one. After that, you read a short weekly email and send new job photos when you can.

Do I need to learn any software?

No. We set everything up and run it for you. You never have to log into anything; the weekly email tells you what we did.

Who owns my Google profile and accounts?

You do. Your Google Business Profile stays in your name, and we're added as a manager so we can do the work. If you ever leave, you remove our access and keep everything: your profile, reviews, photos and history.

Is Find Me Locals part of Google?

No. Find Me Locals is an independent local marketing company, not affiliated with Google. Google never calls to sell you anything, so be careful with anyone who says they're calling from Google. We work on your Google profile with your permission, as a manager you can remove at any time.

Do you work with my competitors?

We limit how many companies in the same trade we take on in each area, and we'll tell you honestly who we work with near you. Each client's data, reports and customer lists are kept completely separate.

Do you post on Facebook and Instagram for me?

No. Our work goes where it brings calls: your Google profile, your reviews, your listings and your website. Social posts rarely change who shows up on Google Maps, so we don't fill your accounts with generic content.

Where is Find Me Locals based, and where do you work?

We work with local businesses across the United States and Canada, and all of the work is done remotely. For each client we focus on the city and service area where your customers actually are.

Missed calls and bookings

Can you help me stop missing calls?

Yes, as an add-on. With missed-call text-back, anyone who calls while you're on a job gets a text within a minute, so they don't move on to the next business. In the US, business texting needs carrier registration, which can take a few weeks, so we start that paperwork on day one.

Can customers book or order through my website?

Yes. We can add online booking and order forms, plus AI assistants that take bookings and custom orders day or night, such as a custom-cake order assistant for a bakery. Your team gets every request and confirms the details before anything is final.

Will my customers know they're talking to an AI?

Yes. Our AI assistants and receptionist always say they're automated. They take details, answer common questions and pass everything to you, but they never confirm prices or promises you haven't approved.
