When someone searches near you, there are two places where you win or lose the customer: the Google Maps local pack and, increasingly, what ChatGPT or Gemini answer when asked for a good spot in the area. We work both. An optimized profile, reviews, consistent data and AI visibility.
Local SEO is the practice of optimizing your business to show up when someone searches near their location. Its target is Google’s local pack (that map block with three businesses), Google Maps and AI answers about nearby places. It rests on three things few people handle well together: a well-optimized Google Business Profile, identical contact data across the web and real reviews. It is the difference between your customer finding you or finding the place around the corner.
We optimize your listing end to end: the right categories, hours, photos, attributes and reviews. This is the piece that decides whether you show up on the map.
We work the signals that order the local pack: proximity, relevance and prominence, so you appear when someone searches near you.
Content for each city or location with the local intent resolved and consistent NAP data, so Google and AI know exactly where you operate.
A simple flow to earn real reviews and respond to them well. Reviews carry weight in local ranking and are the first thing your next customer reads.
When someone asks ChatGPT or Gemini for a good spot nearby, a new map is in play. We optimize your brand to show up there too.
Calls, directions, clicks to your site and conversions by location. We report what reaches the front door of the business, not loose impressions.
For years, winning local SEO meant winning the Google Maps local pack. It is still key, but it is no longer everything. There is a generation of customers who open ChatGPT or Gemini and type "recommend me a good place for X near me", and never see a map.
What is interesting is that both worlds drink from the same source: your profile, your reviews, your data consistency and your brand mentions. Felipe Gallo and JC Espinosa design your local SEO so those signals work in both the Google map and the AI answers at once, instead of optimizing for one and leaving the other to chance.

Unlike general SEO, its target is Google’s local pack (the map block with three businesses), Google Maps and, increasingly, the answers AI assistants give about nearby places. It rests mostly on your Google Business Profile, the consistency of your contact data and your reviews.
Google orders local results by three factors: proximity (how close you are to the person searching), relevance (how well your business fits the search) and prominence (how known and trusted you are, based on reviews, links and mentions). You cannot control where your customer is, but you can work on relevance and prominence: a complete profile, exact categories, real reviews and a NAP that stays consistent across the web.
The Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is the free listing that shows your business on the map and in search results: name, address, hours, phone, photos and reviews. It is the foundation of all local SEO. If it is incomplete, miscategorized or full of inconsistent data, it is very hard to appear in the local pack no matter how good the rest of your site is.
NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone: your business name, address and phone number. When those three details are identical on your site, in your Business Profile and in every directory you appear in, it tells Google you are a real and consistent business. NAP inconsistencies are one of the most common causes of poor local ranking, and almost no one checks for them.
Yes, and that is where the work changes the most. For multiple locations or cities you build one local page per location, each with its own content, its own NAP and, where it applies, its own Business Profile. That way Google understands you operate in each place instead of diluting everything into a single generic page. It is the foundation for competing in each market separately.
More and more people ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity for local recommendations instead of opening Google Maps. Those models build their answers from your web presence, your reviews and your brand mentions. The good news is that the same signals that make you strong in the local pack help you show up in those answers. Optimizing for both worlds at once is what we call GEO.
