Rankeo is a local SEO agency that puts small businesses in the Google map pack, in the regular results and in the answers people get from ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. We optimize your Google Business Profile, build the city and service pages Google needs and rank you for searches in English and in Spanish. Every project starts with a free audit and is quoted in USD.
A local SEO agency makes your business show up when someone nearby searches for what you sell: in the Google map pack, in the regular results and in AI answers, without paying for each click.
When a homeowner types “plumber near me” or a parent asks their phone for a “pediatric dentist open Saturday,” Google shows a map with three businesses before anything else. Google’s Business Profile Help Center explains that local results are ranked on three factors: relevance, distance and prominence. You can’t move your building closer to every customer, so local SEO works on the two factors you can control: how clearly Google understands what you do, and how much evidence the web offers that customers trust you.
That evidence lives in many places at once: your Google Business Profile, your website, your reviews, your listings on Apple Maps, Bing Places and Yelp, and the local sites that mention you. A local SEO company keeps all of it accurate and consistent, then adds what’s missing: a page for each service and city, answers to the questions customers ask before they call, and a steady flow of new reviews.
Many of the agencies that rank for this search are built for franchises and companies with large marketing departments. Rankeo was built for the owner who runs the business and still answers the phone: a dental office, a law firm, a contractor, a restaurant, a clinic, a salon. You talk directly with the people doing the work, in English or in Spanish.
Many of your customers search in both languages, sometimes on the same afternoon. We build your local presence so they find you either way.
The U.S. Census Bureau counts more than 65 million Hispanic residents in the country (Vintage 2023 population estimates), and its American Community Survey reports more than 40 million people who speak Spanish at home. Plenty of them search “dentist near me” one day and “dentista cerca de mí” the next. If your site and profile only exist in English, those Spanish searches go to the competitor who took the time to do it right.
Our team is bilingual and based in Mexico, so Spanish is written by native speakers, never pasted in from a translation tool. We research keywords separately in each language, because people don’t search with literal translations. “Abogado de accidentes” and “accident lawyer” have different volumes, different competitors and different questions behind them, so each page is written for the way that audience actually searches.
If you or your team prefer to read in Spanish, we have guides for you en español: SEO para negocios hispanos en Estados Unidos, plus city pages for Houston, Los Angeles and Miami.
Small business SEO services built around the map pack, your website and the places where customers check you out before they call.
Google Business Profile optimization is usually where the fastest movement comes from, so that’s where we start. We review your primary and secondary categories (the setting with the most weight in the map pack), fill in every service with a plain description, set accurate hours and attributes, upload real photos of your work and team, and publish posts on a schedule. We also watch the profile for suggested edits from strangers, which can change your phone number or hours without warning.
Then we fix the website so it backs up the profile. Google needs a page that clearly matches each service and each city you want to rank in. A roofing company that serves five suburbs needs more than a single “Service Areas” list. It needs pages with real local details: the neighborhoods you work in, the jobs you have done there, the permits and conditions that are particular to that city.
The first three months follow the same order for every client, because each step depends on the one before it.
Week 1
Audit and keyword map
We review your profile, site and the businesses that rank in your map pack today. You get a keyword list by service, city and language, with monthly volume.
Week 2
Google Business Profile
Categories, services, photos, hours and description are fixed. If the profile is suspended, duplicated or unverified, this is where we sort it out.
Weeks 3 to 4
Website and technical base
Speed, mobile, indexing and schema. If you have no website, the Website + SEO + GEO project builds one that is ready to rank.
Weeks 5 to 8
City pages, Spanish pages, listings
New service and city pages go live, the Spanish versions follow, and your details are cleaned up across the main directories.
Weeks 9 to 12
Reviews and content
The review request flow is running, every review gets a reply, and we publish answers to the questions your customers search for.
Month 4 onward
Report and adjust
A monthly report, new content, and changes based on what the data shows: which pages and cities are moving and which need more work.
Map pack movement usually starts showing between weeks 4 and 12. Steady organic traffic to the website takes longer, typically between months 3 and 6, and depends on how competitive your city and industry are. We tell you what to expect in the audit, before you pay anything.
Every month you get a report with numbers you can check yourself, in accounts that belong to you.
Google Search Console shows the exact searches that brought people to your site, with clicks, impressions and average position by page. We split English and Spanish queries so you can see both audiences grow.
Google Business Profile Performance shows calls, direction requests, website clicks and the searches people used to find your profile. For many local businesses, calls from the profile matter more than website visits.
Grid rank tracking checks your map position from many points across your service area, using tools such as Local Falcon or BrightLocal. A single ranking from your office tells you little, because a customer three miles away sees a different map.
Bing Webmaster Tools covers the searches that run through Bing, and its AI Performance report shows when your pages are cited in Microsoft Copilot and Bing’s AI answers. Google Analytics 4 tracks forms, calls and WhatsApp clicks, including visits that arrive from ChatGPT or Perplexity.
Local businesses where customers search, compare and call within the same hour.
Local SEO pays off fastest when one new customer is worth a lot, or when people come back for years. That describes most of the businesses we work with. It also works for service-area businesses that don’t have a storefront, like contractors, cleaners or mobile mechanics. Google lets you hide your address and show a service area instead, and we build city pages around that area.
If you have several locations, each one gets its own profile, its own page and its own place in the report.
We quote every U.S. project in USD after your free audit, so the price fits your city, your competition and what you already have in place.
The price depends on how many locations, cities and services you want to rank for, whether you need a new website or Spanish pages, and how crowded your map pack is. A family dentist in a small town and a personal injury firm in Houston are very different projects.
That’s why we quote after the audit and not before. The audit is free, comes with no obligation and doesn’t require a credit card. You get the diagnosis, the keyword map and a fixed price in USD, and you decide from there. You can see what each format includes on our pricing section, or request your free audit now.
Ask for proof you can check yourself: a diagnosis of your own profile, keyword data with a source and a written monthly plan.
“Best local SEO agency” lists are useful for finding names, but many of them are paid placements. Compare agencies on what they will show you before you sign. A serious local SEO company can tell you which keywords it would target, how many people search them each month in your city and who is ranking for them now.
Be careful with anyone who guarantees the number one spot in the map pack. Google says plainly that nobody can guarantee a ranking, and the map changes depending on where the searcher stands. Also make sure you own your Google Business Profile. An agency should be added as a manager, never as the primary owner, so you keep the profile if you ever part ways.

Changes to your Google Business Profile can show up in the map pack within 4 to 12 weeks. Steady organic traffic to your website usually takes 3 to 6 months. Crowded markets, like personal injury law in a large city, take longer.
It’s the work of making your free Google listing as complete and accurate as possible: the right primary and secondary categories, every service described, correct hours, real photos, regular posts and replies to reviews. Categories and reviews have the biggest effect on where you show up in Google Maps.
Yes. Our team is bilingual, so we research Spanish keywords separately, write Spanish pages with their own URLs and connect them to the English versions with hreflang tags. Many customers search in both languages, and Spanish results are often less crowded.
You can show up in Google Maps with only a Google Business Profile, but a website gives Google much more to work with and lets you rank for each service and city. If you don’t have one, our Website + SEO + GEO project builds it.
For most businesses that serve a specific area, yes. People who search for a service near them usually want to hire soon, and you don’t pay for each click. Local SEO builds over time and keeps working when you stop spending, unlike ads.
Google says local results are based on relevance, distance and prominence. In practice that means your profile categories and services, how close the searcher is, and how well known you are: reviews, links, mentions on other sites and your position in regular search results.
Yes. Contractors, cleaners, movers and other businesses that go to the customer can hide their address on Google and show a service area instead. We build city pages for that area and track your map position in each part of it.
Yes. We work remotely with businesses across the U.S. and Mexico, by video call, email and WhatsApp. Most of our U.S. clients serve both English- and Spanish-speaking customers.
