Do you want to rank better in the local search results, stay visible there, and actually get more paying customers out of the deal?
If so, it will probably take long-term work – especially if you’re in a competitive market. (More detail here.)
Your site will need better content, you’ll need solid links, and you’ll need more reviews from happy customers – for starters. You’ll also need to weather Google’s constant changes and deal with competitors who want to take your seat at the local Feast. This post and this post have a little more detail on the basic process.
If you’d like world-class local SEO help from a guy with world-class experience, recognition, and happy clients, I’d like to take the journey with you.
Just fill out this questionnaire and send it to phil@localvisibilitysystem.com. I’ll look at your situation and let you know how I can help.
Or you can read on if you’d like a little more detail first.
“What problems can you help me with?”
Pretty much anything that stands between you and more local customers. Most likely, we’ll need to work on a combination of basic one-time work and on longer-term steps. To be a little more specific: I can help you with frustrating issues like:
- How to get more local visibility and solid leads even when you’ve done everything you can think of. I can help you get through the plateau.
- Figuring out why you don’t get enough customers from whatever rankings you do have.
- How to get reviews in tricky situations (e.g. you’re a divorce lawyer or a psychotherapist).
- Finding link opportunities and doing link-outreach in order to get those links.
- Making an old, clunky website local-search-friendly and appealing to customers – if you can’t get a new website just yet.
- How to create content that impresses customers and gets you ranking for relatively high-payoff, low-competition keywords. (“City pages” or a well-crafted “Near me” strategy might do the trick.)
- If you do AdWords, getting your AdWords campaign to perform better – or weaning your business off of AdWords. (This isn’t local SEO, but I’ve done AdWords for almost a decade and can probably help you.)
- How to redesign your site and not lose rankings.
- How to rank in markets where you don’t have a physical location.
- Keeping spammy competitors in check, or wiping out their Google Maps spam altogether.
“What do you work on for me, exactly?”
Your local rankings/visibility depend on 4 main moving parts, all of which I can help you on:
- Your site. I’ll make sure it’s technically sound, well-optimized, doesn’t make visitors hit the “back” button, and that it has tons of in-depth info on all the services you’re trying to rank for.
- Your links. You need links from other, relevant sites to your site. Good link opportunities should take digging and/or work. I’ll find those opportunities and help you do what it takes to get those links.
- Your local listings. I’ll make sure your Google My Business page is set up correctly, and that you’ve got accurate local listings on the other sites that Google and customers expect to see you on.
- Your reviews. Good rankings without good reviews are often a waste.
Also, reviews can help your rankings in the first place. I’ll help you get dialed-in on reviews.
All the local SEO work I’ll do for you will be for one of the above steps. The work on the site and on your listings generally is one-time work, or it tapers off after a few months. Longer-term, most of our efforts will go to racking up good links and reviews, and possibly to cleaning up your competitors’ Google Maps spam.
If you want, I can also help you with other parts of your local/online marketing, like improving your conversion-rate optimization and making your AdWords campaign more profitable and easier to manage. (That would be part of my standard ongoin service, and would not cost extra.)
“Why can’t we be like a Hollywood ‘power couple’ and just part ways after, say, 3 months?”
I suppose it’s possible you won’t need me after 3 months, if we plan the work and really work the plan. Depends what your goals are. But more often than not, it takes a longer-term push to create all the content your site needs, earn some good links, get happy customers to write reviews, and for Google to digest all that work.
“How does this compare to your other services?”
The “Local Visibility X-Ray” is a local SEO audit: I give you all my suggestions for how to meet your local visibility goals, and it’s up to you to run with the suggestions.
My “Mastermind” service is an hourly consultation. Perfect if you want some local-search troubleshooting or just have some questions you want answered for good.
My Long-Haul service (what I’m talking about on this page) is for you if you’re in an extra-competitive market, aren’t really a do-it-yourselfer, or just need bespoke service.
“How much does your ongoing service cost?”
My standard version is $900/month.
But what you need to invest depends on how much work you need from me month to month. You may need more help. Again, that’s where my questionnaire comes in, so I can understand your needs – and tell you whether my ongoing service is even what you need in the first place.
There are no contracts. We’ll work together for just as long as you clearly see the value every month. Every month I will send you a clear and plain-English summary of the work I did.
“Why should I choose you?”
I’d say the ideal situation is that you’ve tried some of the suggestions in my emails and blog posts, found that they work pretty well, and realize that I could probably help you even more personally.
Or maybe you’ve read my testimonials and online reviews and want to work with someone well-known in the industry and experienced at helping business owners
Or maybe you saw me speak at a conference.
Or maybe a friend recommended me.
Whatever the case, I’d love to know your reasons for choosing me.

“Unparalleled” (Part 1)
“A five star review does not give justice to Phil. Phil’s work ethic and SEO knowledge is unparalleled, and in all honesty, my legal practice in Boston would not have come this far but for Phil’s attention and expertise. Phil and Local Visibility System is not your traditional SEO Company – Phil really listens to your goals and delves into your business to provide the best possible and personalized SEO strategy. I was relieved to find someone who genuinely cares about my business goals, and makes every possible effort to make me feel comfortable and informed along the way!”

“Generated So Much Business” (Part 2)
“Phil is the real deal! We reached out to Phil for his local SEO abilities and to help drive more traffic to our website, and working with him has represented huge success for our law firm.
He is methodical, professional and most importantly, he’s honest. Phil will tell you if something is a waste of your time or if you’re better off re-channeling your energy into something else. He will give you the full picture: The best case scenarios, the worst case scenarios, and everything in between. I can’t emphasize enough how much his analytics and suggestions have helped us in our business.
Phil always answers all of our questions quickly and is genuinely always giving us ideas, feedback and different approaches to drive more traffic to our website. We will soon be starting Google ads with Phil and are excited to see the results that come out of that. We have generated so much business because of Phil, and we look forward to continuing to work with him indefinitely!”

“Doing Extremely Well Once Again, Despite the Pandemic”
“Thanks to Phil, I experienced a dramatic influx of clients within a relatively short amount of time, and my business continued to thrive for the next 5 years, until the pandemic hit. At that point, I lost two-thirds of my clientele practically overnight, and re-engaged Phil. As a result, my business is doing extremely well once again, despite the pandemic. Phil’s phenomenal expertise, professionalism, enthusiasm, and wit are just a few reasons why it’s a real pleasure to work with him. In my experience, he truly cares about helping businesses catapult to success, and is a powerhouse in the SEO world. I can’t thank him enough.”

“Wish We Had Made the Switch Sooner. Our Sales Have Increased Every Single Month”
“We hired Phil and his Company to handle our Google AdWords account and our SEO after working with another company for a few years. It was a big decision to leave the old firm that we were working with, but Phil was able to give us a good degree of comfort in making the switch. All I can say is that I wish we had made the switch sooner. Our sales have increased every single month since he took over 1 year ago. Lately our sales have been through the roof. So much so that we turned off all of the Google ads that we were paying for the clicks. He has saved us thousands of $$$ per month. I am not sure what Phil is working on at 2:00 am in the morning, but it sure is magic. Don’t hesitate for a second to hire Local Visibility System!”

“Highly Effective”
“Over the past seven years I’ve contracted with several SEO agencies to assist with search marketing for my business and on behalf of my clients. They all ultimately failed to deliver what they promised and it was hard to determine what actual work they had performed. I’ve worked with Phil for almost a year now and his services have been highly effective. He builds high-quality links and has provided great content and on-page SEO advice. He is easy to work with and the services he delivers are completely transparent. In my 30+ years in business it has been rare to work with a vendor who provides as much value for the money as Phil does.”

“My Website Is the Only Local Website Ranking Higher Than Big Companies”
“Phil has been exceptional to work with. I first inquired Phil for local SEO work & help building my website. This was about 3 or 4 years ago. I have an electrician business in San Diego and the competition online in San Diego is one of the highest for my type of work in all of the States. After about a year of working Phil he managed to rank number one organically. My website is the only local website ranking higher than big companies such as Yelp. Angie, thumbtack ect… it’s amazing at the things that Phil can accomplish with just a little patience. I would highly recommend having Phil do all your SEO and website work if you’re lucky enough to find him!

“Seen Results”
“Phil is the most accessible, knowledgeable, and honest professional I have come across for local SEO services. After sifting through pages of valuable content on his site, I decided to try his X-Ray service. I provided some information about my company, Marshall Building & Remodeling, and he produced a comprehensive list of action steps for me to improve our rankings, build links, strengthen our website, and increase visibility and business. I started in on the list and realized, as a business owner, I didn’t have time to execute these important items on my own. So I hired Phil for his ongoing monthly service. He’s easy to work with, detailing his plan and communicating along the way. We’ve seen proven results and I’ve gained a greater understanding of SEO and how to leverage it for growth. In the everchanging SEO world, Phil stays current, which is so important. He’s a great resource to improve your local rankings and achieve your business goals.”

“Allows Me to Focus on What I Do Best”
“At this point I consider Phil a partner in my business. He sets em’ up, and I knock em’ down! I can no longer imagine my business without Phil’s services. I certainly wouldn’t be where I am today without my visibility to local customers. I profit more than I used to because I’m better able to focus on what I do best (landscaping) by allowing Phil to do what he does best (getting me found).”

“Phil and his team are excellent at what they do. My therapy centre continues to grow as a result of what Phil does for my business. He not only does a great job on local SEO but also manages our Google ads in a way that means we do not spend a fortune on trial and error attempts. His approach is methodical and professional which helps grow our client intake numbers during the pandemic which has been the most difficult time to keep things going. He has a wealth of business acumen and experience around when to expand, where to find clients, how to budget for marketing, how to build a solid online presence and is a really helpful and easy person to work with. Well worth the investment and I look forward to continuing to grow my therapy centre with the support of Phil and his team.”

“To the Top We Went”
“Once we worked with Phil on Google Places, we shot up to the top in no time. We have had a great return on our investment….. When we ask new patients how they heard about us, they say that our listing was the top search for ‘Fresno Dentist,’ and seeing that we were at the top of each category, they knew that our office was right for them. Thanks for your help in taking us to the top Phil! Your work is absolutely appreciated.”

“Phil is a top-notch guy to work with in every sense of the word. He is super knowledgeable and stays on the cutting edge of everything related to online marketing. Phil’s passion for his work…and MY SUCCESS…has been obvious from day one. I’m from the ‘Show Me State’ and I must say I was a bit skeptical at first. But Phil has done just what he promised – Shown me the RESULTS! After just 2 months of working with Phil, my online business jumped 220% and I’ve been setting records ever since.”

“Business Has Picked Up”
“Let’s face it, running a business is not an easy task. Most days spent dealing with customers, paperwork, and figuring out how you’re going to fit a decent meal in between. I’ve had to learn through the years to take a step back and really think about what I can and can’t do for my company. Websites, reviews and Google Places is not my strong suit.
I met Phil and his team some years back through a gentleman that built my website. They have done numerous projects together and I have seen the evidence of what Phil does working for many businesses, not just my own. After hiring Phil and his team to work with one of my sites I got to really work hand in hand with him. His communication skills, patience and expertise are top notch. I’ve never gone without a return phone call or email to one of my genius questions I seem to have from time to time. Business has 100% without a doubt picked up because of the work Phil and his team have done with my site. I highly recommend Local Visibility System to anyone that is looking to ‘Step it Up a Notch’ for their business and knows when to take a step back and realize we can’t do everything that has to do with our business. Phil is honest, upfront and will walk you through the whole process. That’s why he’s already worked on our second website and continues to work with us on other projects.”
