What's included in our local SEO service

Built for the trades and local service businesses. Local SEO isn't one thing — it's your Google Business Profile, your listings, your reviews, and your website all telling search engines the same story. We manage the whole system on a monthly retainer, so you can stay on the job.

Why hire developers to do your local SEO?

  • Technical SEO Is Native, Not Outsourced

    Most local SEO agencies stop where the website starts. We build websites for a living — schema markup, page speed, and site structure are things we fix ourselves, not tickets we send to someone else.

  • 20 Years in Business, Right Here

    We've been building and growing Washington businesses online for two decades. We're a Puget Sound team, these are our home markets, and we'll still be here next year — unlike the SEO telemarketers who call your shop every week.

  • Transparent Monthly Reporting

    Every month you see what we did, where you rank, and what it produced — phone calls, direction requests, and booked jobs. No vanity metrics, no mystery invoices.

  • No Long-Term Contracts

    Month to month. We keep clients by getting results, not by locking them in. If it isn't working, you can walk — that keeps us honest.

Finding Ravenna was a game-changer. From the start, they understood our challenges and provided a clear, strategic path forward. No request ever felt like too much. They were always transparent about the impact and offered better alternatives when needed.

Common questions about local SEO

How much does local SEO cost?

Most of our local SEO retainers run between $750 and $2,500 per month depending on how competitive your market is and how many locations you have. A plumber in Everett and a law firm in downtown Seattle are very different fights. We scope it after a free audit, so you know the number and the plan before you commit to anything.

How long until I see results?

Honest answer: 90 to 180 days for meaningful movement, with early wins (Google Business Profile improvements, review velocity) often showing up in the first month. Anyone promising page one in two weeks is selling you something that ends in a Google penalty. Local SEO compounds — the businesses that win are the ones still investing in month twelve.

What's the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?

Regular SEO competes for anyone searching anywhere. Local SEO competes for the map pack and 'near me' results in your service area — which is where customers with immediate intent are looking. It leans heavily on your Google Business Profile, reviews, citations, and location signals, not just your website content. If your customers are within driving distance, local SEO is usually the better dollar spent.

Do you only work with Seattle businesses?

No — we work with businesses across Washington, including Everett, Tacoma, and Spokane. We're based in the Puget Sound area, so in-person meetings are easy on the west side, and everything about the service works just as well remotely for eastern Washington.

Do I need a new website for this to work?

Usually not — local SEO works with the site you have. But if your site is genuinely holding you back (slow, broken on phones, impossible to update), we're one of the few SEO providers who can actually fix that too, because building websites is our core business. We'll tell you straight either way in the audit.

What about showing up in ChatGPT and AI search results?

Great question — that's a related service called answer engine optimization (AEO). AI assistants increasingly answer 'best X near me' questions directly, and the businesses they recommend are the ones with strong structured data, reviews, and consistent local signals. Many of our clients bundle local SEO and AEO together, since the work reinforces itself.
