SERVICE — Local SEO and Google Maps

Local SEO and Google Maps: we bring you the patients and clients searching nearby.

When someone types "dental clinic near me" or "visa consultancy in Kadıköy", Google shows the map first. We set up your Google Business Profile, review system and website to be found in those searches, and we measure the calls and direction requests they bring.

Summary

Local SEO helps your clinic or consultancy office get found in location-based searches. We set up your Google Business Profile, review system and website information together and measure the calls and appointment requests they bring.

If you're not on the map, customers go to your competitor

Problem 01

Your profile is incomplete

Wrong category, empty services, outdated opening hours. Google can't match you with relevant searches.

Problem 02

Few reviews, no replies

Your competitor has 200 reviews, you have 12. Users compare on the map.

Problem 03

Your website and profile disagree

Different address, different phone, different name. Google doesn't know which to trust.

Problem 04

You don't measure calls

You don't know how many people called, asked for directions or clicked through to your site from the profile.

GUIDE

Who is it for?

Service businesses with a physical office or clinic that win customers from their area or city: dental and aesthetic clinics, health tourism offices, visa and education consultancies, courses and exam-prep centres. For e-commerce brands selling online, local SEO is not the right tool.

How does Google decide local rankings?

According to Google's own explanation, local results are determined by three factors. On the same page Google also states clearly that local ranking cannot be improved by paying or by requesting it. So the work is to strengthen these three factors systematically.

  • Relevance

    How well does your profile match the search? Complete and detailed business information decides this.

  • Distance

    How close is your business to the searcher? We can't change this factor, but we can support visibility in nearby districts with your website and content.

  • Prominence

    How well known is your business? Review count, rating and links to you across the web affect this.

What we don't promise

We don't give a "number one on the map" guarantee. Google says clearly that rankings can't be bought; an agency that gives this guarantee is either misleading you or putting your profile at risk. What we guarantee is the work in our control: a complete profile, a working review system and a transparent monthly report.

Frequently asked questions

What is local SEO?

Local SEO is the work of getting your business to appear in "near me" or city-name searches, especially in Google Maps results. At its centre are your Google Business Profile, reviews and consistent business information on your website.

How long does it take to rank higher on Google Maps?

Once profile gaps are fixed, the first improvements usually show within a few weeks; in highly competitive areas lasting results can take 3–6 months. Because of the distance factor, it isn't possible to rank first for every search from every location.

Can you pay to rank higher on Google Maps?

Organic map rankings can't be bought; Google states this clearly. The paid option is to connect your business profile to Google Ads and appear as "sponsored" on the map.

Is buying reviews or offering discounts for reviews a problem?

Yes. Fake or incentivised reviews break Google's rules and can get your profile restricted. We automate asking real customers for reviews at the right time.

Can local SEO work without a website?

A Google Business Profile works on its own, but profiles with a website look more trustworthy and match more searches. If needed, we also build a conversion-focused page.

I have several branches. Is each one handled separately?

Yes. Each branch should have its own verified profile, its own reviews and its own page on the website. Fees depend on the scope of the work and your goals. In a free 30-minute call we clarify what you need and send you a written proposal. We charge no setup fee. Your ad budget is always separate and paid directly to Meta or Google; we never touch that money.
