Local SEO setup from ROVQIX costs $399 to $899 as a one-off. It covers Google Business Profile configuration, local structured data on your site, service and area pages where genuinely warranted, directory consistency and a review process you can run yourself.
Most local SEO is sold as an open-ended monthly retainer. The foundations are actually a finite job that can be done once and maintained by you.
One-page site
Live and working
Domain and content
Care plan is monthly
Categories, services, attributes, photos and hours configured properly. The highest-impact item.
LocalBusiness markup on your site with accurate hours, address and services.
A real page for each service worth ranking for — not one page per town.
Name, address and phone matching across the directories that actually matter.
A short link and a simple routine, since reviews are a major local ranking factor.
What to do monthly, written down, so you are not dependent on a retainer.
Proximity, your Google Business Profile, and reviews. Website factors matter, but less than most agencies imply.
| Factor | Impact | Can you control it? |
|---|---|---|
| Proximity to searcher | Very high | No |
| Google Business Profile setup | High | Yes, fully |
| Review quantity and recency | High | Yes, with effort |
| Primary category | High | Yes, immediately |
| Website relevance | Medium | Yes |
| Directory consistency | Low to medium | Yes |
| Backlinks | Low for local | Slowly |
For a single-location small business, the foundational work is genuinely finite. Once the profile is configured, the structured data is in place and the service pages exist, the ongoing work is collecting reviews and posting occasionally — which you can do yourself in twenty minutes a week.
Far fewer than most agencies build. A page for each area you genuinely serve, with real local content, works. Fifty near-identical pages with the town name swapped is a recognised spam pattern and can hold your whole site back.
If you cannot write two hundred genuinely specific words about working in an area, do not make a page for it.
Profile changes can show within days. Review-driven improvement takes months of consistent asking. Anyone promising fast results in a competitive category is guessing.
For a single-location business, usually not. We do the foundations once and give you a checklist. Multi-location or highly competitive markets are a different conversation.
No, and neither can anyone else. Proximity to the searcher is the biggest factor and it is outside anybody's control. Be sceptical of guarantees.
Your Google Business Profile, then reviews. Both are free. We charge for doing them properly and quickly, not for access.
It is a template we adapt to your business — your colours, photos, services and words. It is not a custom design from scratch, which is what makes $349 possible. If you want fully custom, that starts around $2,500 and we will tell you honestly which one you need.
Your logo if you have one, some photos of your work or your shop, your services and prices, and your opening hours. If you do not have photos, we will tell you what to take with a phone — it is usually enough.
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the content is yours, and you can move it elsewhere at any time. We do not hold your site hostage on a care plan.
You keep the site and the domain. You would need to arrange your own hosting, which is usually $5 to $15 a month, and we will help you move it across at no charge.
Indicative ranges in USD. Every engagement is quoted to a written scope before work starts, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
