  • "Phenomenal work environment with lots of opportunities for growth and learning. The WebFX campus is like something from Silicone Valley and has so many unique elements that make it a really special place to work. You will not find a long-term career that will really push you to live out that work hard/play hard mentality like WebFX!!"
  • "Our small business has been with WebFX for three months. We have been positively amazed at the quality of the services provided to us. Milestones are accomplished on time. The WebFX team is knowledgeable and responsive. And the proprietary WebFX tools included in their services are beyond what we imagined we would be receiving. We interviewed five (5) local and national SEO providers. In the end we selected WebFX and are very happy we did. Their team has performed to such a high level we are able to turn our attention to other aspects of our small business."
  • "WebFX has done a great job outlining an SEO strategy, and executing that strategy. We are seeing the results we were expecting, and appreciate the transparency our account manager is providing."

  • "Can not thank Boostability enough for their help, guidance and expertise in helping my business with its SEO needs. We went from being on 6th to 10th pages of google on all our keywords to the first page of Google for multiple keywords within 3 months. We have seen an increase in our organic traffic on our website all thanks to Boostability. Seriously, can not say enough about this incredible service."
  • "Boostability was able to get my keywords in 2 months time on the 1st page of Google."
  • "As a small business with limited budget I can not say enough good things about Boostablity. One year ago after a Google update I went from the 1st page of Google to the 11th page - new clients stopped overnight. I started looking at SEO companies to help get me back to the 1st page. After speaking with many SEO companies I choose Boostablity because of their experience, prompt responses and ability to deliver within my budget. Fast forward 7 months and I'm back on the 1st page of Google."

  • "Contacted Thrive over the summer about marketing for our business in Las Vegas. Tate Causey responded, and a meeting was set up to discuss our options and what Thrive does/how they operate. We had our web conference, and I was told I would receive a proposal shortly thereafter. I never received anything, and in fact, I had forgotten about it altogether until today when I ran across my notes from my meeting. I posted a 1 star review after realizing I had emailed over an inquiry about the proposal, and not receiving an email response. Tate reached out immediately to apologize and said that we had spoken over the phone about how they didn't feel they would be a good fit for the local market we were trying to target, since they didn't have an office here. I immediately responded, and adjusted my review. While I cannot speak to their marketing talents, I can absolutely say that they have been extremely professional in all of our communications, and am actually a bit disappointed that we aren't able to work together after their quick response to my mistaken negative review. I am hopeful that sometime in the future we will be able to use Thrive Marketing."
  • "We reached out to this company for cooperation. After filling out form, manager of the company responded very fast and we had a call on the next day. Manager Jeff gave presentation very well and answered all questions. It was felt that the company was experienced and knew its business. Excellent communication with clients! We recommend this company for cooperation!"
  • "Talented crew, they think outside the box, exceptional results."

What does a local SEO agency do?

A local SEO agency helps businesses improve their visibility in localized search results, like “escape room near me.” Compared to other SEO companies, local SEO companies will focus on optimizations like claiming and optimizing local listings, researching keywords with a localized intent, and creating content that targets those keywords.

From a broader perspective, a local SEO service provider should help you achieve your goals while also saving you valuable time.

How much do local SEO services cost?

Local SEO services can cost $300 to $2,000 per month or $300 to $1,500 per project. Factors tied to your business and your agency will determine your local SEO costs. For example, a franchise with hundreds of locations will pay more for local SEO than a mom-and-pop shop with one location.

What determines how much a local SEO company costs?

How much a local SEO company costs depends on factors like:

  • Your agency’s location
  • Your agency’s experience
  • Your project duration
  • Your number of locations
  • Your strategy

Companies vary in posting their prices online, so prepare to ask for custom quotes.

Are local SEO services affordable?

Yes, local SEO services are affordable, and cost significantly less than SEO services.

How do I choose a local SEO agency?

In today’s era of technology, choosing the best local SEO agency can be difficult. Since SEO is an internet-based service, there’s no real need to have a physical office location. While a local office can provide some benefits, such as knowing the local audience (and thus, what they want and need) better, it’s not as common nowadays due to the nature of the work.

That being said, it’s still possible to find the best local SEO agency if you take the time to look hard enough! Let’s walk through how to do just that below.

Determine your needs

Before you reach out to an SEO agency, make sure you know what SEO work you need to do. For example, you can fully optimize your website or webpage for SEO, or you can partially optimize it and keep it sounding “natural.” Even if you don’t know much about SEO, you should have an idea of how you want your final product to appeal to your target audience. Your SEO agency can handle the rest!

Research your options

If you want to find the best local SEO agencies, your best bet is to do lots and lots of research. There may not be many SEO agencies located in your physical area, so you may not have much to pick from. If you live in or near a large city, you may have better luck.

However, don’t forget to ask your colleagues and other industry professionals for help, too. By asking a company who’s worked with them in the past, you can get a firsthand account of the agency’s quality. 

Regardless of whether you end up moving forward with a local agency or not, your next step is to make sure the agency measures up to the results you want. Any SEO agency worth working with will have a portfolio of successful SEO work. 

Contact your top picks

Once you’ve narrowed down your search to a few of the best local SEO agencies, it’s time to reach out. The companies will most likely want to call you to understand what you need. They’ll also use this phone call to determine if they’re a good fit for your project. If they are, the local SEO firm should follow up with a quote.

Based on their quote and your initial experience, you can decide if it’s worth proceeding.
