Where you show up changes from street to street.

Google Maps ranks businesses by where the person searching is standing. The same search from three places nearby gives three different first threes, so Watson checks from all around you.

Watson or an agency

How Watson compares with a local SEO agency.

An agency usually checks your Maps ranking once a month and posts on your listing now and then. Watson checks from dozens of streets around you every week, posts every week and asks for a review after every visit.

Questions

Questions about Google Maps ranking.

Google Maps ranking is where your business appears when people nearby search for what you offer, and it changes from street to street. Watson checks it from the streets around you every week and works to move you into the first three.

A complete and accurate Google Business Profile, steady new reviews, regular updates and a website that matches your listing all help. Watson works on each of these every week.

It is the three businesses Google Maps shows first when someone searches for something nearby. Most people choose from these three.

Google Maps ranks businesses differently depending on where the person searching is. Watson checks your position from points all around you, so you can see where you show up first and where you do not yet.

Every week Watson searches for what you offer from a grid of points around your business, and records where you show up from each one.

Yes. Watson shows you the businesses in the first three from each street, with their reviews, how often they post and how complete their listing is, so you know what to work on.

It depends on your area and how far ahead the businesses above you are. You can see the change week by week.

Yes. Each location has its own Google Maps ranking, so Watson checks and works on every branch separately.

Local SEO is the work that gets your business found when people nearby search for what you offer, mostly on Google Maps and in the three businesses Google shows first. It covers your Google listing, your reviews, regular updates and a website that matches your listing. Watson does this every week.

Local SEO is about showing up on Google Maps for nearby searches. SEO is about showing up in Google's search results for what people type, wherever they are. Most businesses need both, and Watson does both.

Watson does the work a local SEO agency does. It checks your Maps ranking every week, keeps your listing updated, asks for reviews and watches the businesses above you. You see your position change week by week.

Watson is priced as a custom quote after a short demo, based on your business and how many locations you have.
