to pay Google for a better local ranking. It has to be earned
No way
Sound familiar?
People search for what you do. They find someone else.
Nobody can buy their way to the top of local search. You earn it with a complete profile, a website Google understands and real reviews. That’s the work we do.
-
A half-finished profile
“My Google listing still has old hours and three blurry photos. I set it up years ago and forgot about it.”
-
Nowhere to be found
“I search for what I do in my own town and I’m nowhere. My competitors are right there.”
-
Burned before
“I paid someone for SEO once. They promised page one and I never saw a thing.”
How it works
What is local SEO?
Local SEO means making sure that when someone near you searches for what you do, Google has everything it needs to show your business: a complete, verified Business Profile, a website built around the words people actually search, and reviews. Google says local results are based mainly on relevance, distance and prominence. We work on the parts you can control.
-
Step 1
Research first
We learn what people near you search for and who shows up ahead of you.
-
Step 2
Your profile, done right
Add us as a manager and we fill in every part: category, hours, service area, services, website and real photos.
-
Step 3
Verified, together
Google may ask for a short video of your business to verify it. Only the owner can record it, so we do it together.
-
Step 4
Pages that match
Titles, headings and service words on your website that match what people search, and match your profile.
What's included
Set up to be found, the honest way
Everything here comes with every build. We do the work, you stay the owner.
Honest about time.
Your profile updates show once Google reviews them, and verification can take up to five business days. Ranking higher on Google takes longer. Google’s own video guide to hiring an SEO says that in most cases it takes four months to a year to see results. It also depends on your reviews, your competition and how long you’ve been in business. We tell you what to expect up front.

The honest comparison
Doing it yourself, a "page one" promise, or us
An honest look at the usual ways businesses try to show up on Google.
| Doing it yourself | A "page one" guarantee | CreoHaus | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your Google profile | Whatever you have time to fill in | Varies | Every part filled in, with real photos, matching your site |
| What you are promised | Nothing | Page one, fast | The truth: it takes months, and nobody can guarantee #1 |
| Who owns the profile | You | Sometimes the agency | You. We are only a manager |
| Research | Mostly guesswork | Varies | What people near you search for, and who ranks ahead of you |
| Your website | Separate from your profile | Often separate | Built around the same searches, matching your profile |
What it doesn’t do: we don’t guarantee a ranking, and we never buy reviews or create fake listings. Google says no one can guarantee a #1 ranking, and there’s no way to pay for a better local ranking.
Straight answers
Questions about Show Up Local
Straight answers, including what nobody can promise and what happens if we part ways.
Some things work right away: your complete profile and your new website start the day they go live. Ranking higher on Google takes longer. Google’s own video guide to hiring an SEO says that in most cases it takes four months to a year to see results. It also depends on your reviews, your competition and how long you’ve been in business. Anyone who promises the top of Google next month is guessing.
No, and be careful with anyone who does. Google says it plainly: “No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google.” Google also says there is no way to pay for a better local ranking.
No. In your Business Profile, you add us as a manager with our email. Managers can update the profile, but only the owner can add or remove people, so you stay in control.
We set it up with you and help you verify it. Google may ask for a short video of your business, which only the owner can record, so we do it together. Verification can take up to five business days.
Google asks businesses to use their real-world name, and customers check: over half look at the business’s website after reading good reviews. When your name, services, hours and photos match everywhere, you look like one solid business.
Yes. Google says more reviews and positive ratings can help your local ranking. One-Tap Reviews makes asking every customer easy.
No. It’s included in every build, and keeping your profile up to date is part of the Haus Plan’s monthly updates.
Your Google Business Profile was always yours. We’re added as a manager, never the owner, so you just remove us, and every photo, post and review stays on it.
The research we did on your market is yours too. We hand it over.
