The short answer
What does a local SEO agency do?
It works on everything that decides whether you appear in Google Maps and local search, and reports what that brings in.
A local SEO agency manages the signals that decide whether a business appears in Google Maps and local search: the Google Business Profile, citations, reviews, on-page local content and local links. A good one names the person running your campaign and reports calls, direction requests and form fills.
- Price: $750 (Starter), $1,370 (Growth) or $2,750 (Authority) a month for one US location, month-to-month, no setup fee. Optional prepay: 5% off 3 months, 10% off 6, or 12 for the price of 10.

How we work
Why a small, specialist agency works differently
A plumber in Phoenix does not need the same campaign as a dental practice in Chicago. At scale, those differences get smoothed out.
Benchmarked against your real competitors
Your campaign is built around the businesses currently outranking you in your market, not an industry average.
Reporting tied to enquiries
Monthly reports show calls, direction requests and form fills alongside rankings.
Month-to-month terms
Cancel with 30 days written notice. You stay because it is working, not because you are locked in.

Report
Rankings, calls, direction requests and form fills, compared with your start.
- A statement of workYour deliverables are listed before work starts, so you can check each month what was done.
- Month-to-month termsCancel with 30 days written notice. Fees prepaid for months that have not started are refunded in full.
- Optional prepay discountPay 3 months upfront for 5% off, 6 months for 10% off, or 12 months for the price of 10. If you stop early, every month up to and including the month your cancellation takes effect is kept at the standard monthly price, because each month's team and tools are committed when it starts. Every month after that is refunded.
- Your approval firstNothing is published on your website, profiles or ad accounts without your sign-off.
- You keep ownershipYour accounts stay in your name, and the content made for you is yours once paid for, including after you cancel.
- One named specialistYou work directly with the person doing the work, not a rotating account team.
- No passwordsYou add Rankure as a manager on your profile and accounts. You never share your passwords.
- No ranking guaranteesGoogle controls rankings. Treat any provider who guarantees a number one position as a warning sign.

Questions
Questions about our local SEO agency
How much does a local SEO agency cost?
Rankure's local SEO plans are $750, $1,370 and $2,750 a month (Starter, Growth and Authority), month-to-month with no setup fee. The free audit recommends a level for your market. See pricing.
How do I choose the right local SEO agency?
Ask who specifically runs your campaign, what the monthly report shows, who owns your Google Business Profile and website accounts, and what the contract terms are. A good agency answers all four directly before you sign.
How long before I see results from a local SEO agency?
It depends on your market's competition and where your profile and rankings stand today. The free audit sets a benchmark for your market, and every monthly report shows the movement, so progress is visible rather than promised.
Does Rankure serve businesses outside the US?
Yes. Rankure works with businesses across the US, UK and UAE. See local SEO for Dubai and the UAE.
Do you work with multi-location and franchise businesses?
Yes. Multi-location work needs one verified profile per staffed location, consistent business details across all of them, and location pages that each say something specific. See multi-location local SEO.
Who owns the accounts you set up for us?
You do. Google Business Profile, Analytics, Search Console and the website remain in your ownership, and Rankure works as a manager on them.
