Local SEO

Rank in Google Maps and AI Overviews for every service in every city you serve.

Local SEO is one of Reimagine's two flagship services (alongside Content and SEO), and it is the area where our co-founder Andre Alves has a track record most Central Florida agencies cannot match. Andre has personally taken Google Business Profiles to the top 3 of the map pack across multiple contractor verticals and metros, and has placed client websites on page 1 of Google for competitive local keywords that homeowners actually search. Every GBP we manage, every city page we publish, every schema block we ship is built by Andre or under his direct technical ownership. Nothing is outsourced to junior analysts. Nothing is outsourced offshore. That is the entire difference.

Every month, homeowners in your service area run thousands of searches that never reach your business. 'Roof leak Tampa.' 'Garage door spring broken Brandon.' 'Paver sealing Orlando cost.' If you are not in the top 3 Google Maps results or the AI Overview panel, those searches go to competitors who invested in Local SEO while you were hoping referrals would keep the phones ringing. Local SEO is where contractors either compound their authority year after year or stay invisible forever. There is almost no middle ground.

Local SEO for contractors is a multi-front discipline. It is your Google Business Profile, your city pages, your citation consistency, your review velocity, and increasingly your schema markup and llms.txt file that determine whether ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend you by name. We handle all of it as a single system because none of the pieces work in isolation. Every piece reinforces every other piece, and missing one is like trying to run an engine with a cracked block. The car moves, but slowly, and not for long.

Our approach comes from running this exact playbook on Rocket Garage Door Services, the contractor Andre and Dr. Kebar started from scratch. We took Rocket from invisible on Google Maps to ranking in the top 3 across 11 of 12 Polk County target cities in under 12 months. We took the Rocket website from zero indexed pages to over 9,500 monthly organic visitors. Every tactic you pay us for has been tested, refined, and proven on our own revenue first. That is not a promise. It is the condition for any tactic even being in our playbook.

How It Works

The 6-step process
behind every engagement.

01

Discovery and audit

We pull your current Google Business Profile, audit NAP consistency across 40 plus directories, map your real service area against your current city page coverage, and identify the 20 to 50 highest-value local keywords you are missing. You get a written report before we touch anything.

02

Foundation cleanup

We fix NAP inconsistencies, consolidate duplicate listings, update your GBP categories and service list, add service area polygons, and embed schema markup on every existing page. This is the boring work that unlocks every tactic that comes next.

03

City and service page build

We produce unique, useful city pages for every metro you serve and every service you offer. Not thin templates with city names swapped in, real pages with local references, photo galleries, and FAQ sections tied to actual questions homeowners ask.

04

Review and Q&A engine

We set up automated review requests after every completed job, respond to every review within 24 hours with custom templates, and seed your Google Q&A with the questions your future customers will ask. Review velocity drives map rankings more than any other single factor.

05

AI engine optimization

We publish and maintain llms.txt, add FAQ and HowTo schema, and structure your content so ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite your business by name. This is new territory for most agencies. We have been doing it since early 2025.

06

Rank tracking and reporting

Weekly rank reports for every target keyword in every target city. Monthly strategy calls. Direct access to a shared dashboard so you can see your pipeline health at any time without asking.

Questions

Local SEO FAQs

Who actually does the Local SEO work on my account?+
Our co-founder Andre Alves, personally. Andre has a documented track record of ranking Google Business Profiles in the top 3 of the map pack and placing client websites on page 1 for competitive local keywords across multiple contractor verticals. He is the one writing the GBP posts, editing the categories, shipping the schema, building the city pages, and auditing the citation consistency. Nothing is outsourced to a junior analyst, and nothing is sent offshore. This is extraordinarily rare in Central Florida contractor marketing, where almost every agency runs Local SEO through templated VA teams with zero senior oversight. With Reimagine, your account is handled by the same person whose own contractor ranks top 3 across his entire county.
What is Andre's actual SEO track record?+
On our own contractor, Rocket Garage Door Services, we took the business from invisible on Google Maps to ranking in the top 3 across 11 of 12 Polk County target cities in under 12 months, and grew organic traffic to over 9,500 monthly visitors. On client accounts under NDA, we have ranked service-area businesses on page 1 of Google for primary keywords in competitive markets, and have closed the review gap with entrenched competitors from 19 vs 247 reviews to 68 vs 247 within 6 months. These are not guaranteed outcomes for every client, but they are the range of results a disciplined engagement can produce when the foundation is built right.
How is your methodology different from other Local SEO providers?+
Three differences. First, we treat Local SEO as a single integrated system, not a checklist of disconnected tactics. Every GBP post reinforces a city page, every city page reinforces a schema cluster, every schema cluster reinforces the review engine. Miss any piece and the others compound less. Second, we are AI-native. We were publishing llms.txt and FAQ schema for AI citation in early 2025, while most contractor agencies were still ignoring ChatGPT and Perplexity as referral channels. Third, every tactic in our playbook has been validated on Rocket Garage Door Services before it ever touched a client account. We do not experiment on your revenue. We experiment on ours.
What does a typical week of Local SEO work look like on my account?+
Every week we ship fresh GBP posts tied to your actual service area, respond to every review within 24 hours with custom copy, audit your rank changes city by city, monitor new competitor movement in your map pack, and queue the next batch of content. Every month we ship one or more new city pages or service page expansions. Every quarter we do a deeper competitive audit and a methodology refresh against whatever has changed in the Google local algorithm. The cadence matters as much as the work itself. Weekly fresh signals plus monthly new content is how rankings compound. Sporadic bursts of activity followed by silence is how rankings stall.
How long before I see results from Local SEO?+
You will see movement in 30 to 60 days on secondary keywords in smaller cities. Primary keywords in competitive metros take 4 to 6 months to break into the top 3 map pack. Anyone promising faster results is either lying or running black hat tactics that will get you penalized.
Do I need Local SEO if I already run Google Ads?+
Yes. Google Ads gives you instant traffic but stops the moment you stop paying. Local SEO compounds. Contractors who run both usually see the best economics because Ads fills the pipeline while SEO builds a permanent asset underneath.
What happens to my Local SEO if I cancel?+
Everything we built stays yours. The city pages, the schema, the GBP optimization, the citation consistency, all of it remains in place. What stops is the ongoing review velocity, fresh content, and rank monitoring. You keep the foundation and lose the momentum.
Can you guarantee first page rankings?+
No, and neither should any honest agency. What we guarantee is the work we will do, the transparency of reporting, and a process refined on our own contractor. Rankings depend on competition, review velocity, and Google updates that nobody controls.
How many city pages will you build?+
Starter gets 1 per month, Intermediate gets 2, Growth gets 3, Scale gets 4 plus service pages and blog content. The number is less important than the quality. Thin templated city pages actively hurt your rankings in 2026 because of the Google helpful content update.
Do you work with competing contractors?+
Never. Territory exclusivity is contractual. One contractor per vertical per metro. Your Brooksville roofing competitor cannot hire us to attack you. This is non-negotiable.

Why It Matters

80 percent of homeowners research services on Google before calling. If you are not in the top 3 map results and on page 1 of Google search, you are invisible to the majority of your market. Local SEO is the only marketing channel that compounds month after month without additional spend, which is why it is Reimagine's flagship service and why Andre personally handles every client engagement himself.
