The Problem

Every Store Looks Different on Google, and Nobody Owns the Fix

It tends to surface after a holiday, an acquisition, or a new opening, when one store's mistake shows up on the map and nobody at head office knows who changed it.

  1. Holiday hours

    Each store edits hours its own way, so closures show wrong.

    Holiday hours

    One data sheet updates every profile's hours together before each holiday.

  2. Duplicates

    Old and acquired stores have duplicate profiles competing.

    Duplicates

    We merge or remove duplicates and keep one profile per staffed location.

  3. Thin pages

    Location pages share the same text with the city swapped.

    Thin pages

    Each page gets its own staff, services, photos, and directions.

  4. Blind spots

    Head office can't see which stores rank or ring.

    Blind spots

    Reports show rank grids and calls for every location, weakest first.

Your Tuesday starts with a call from the Riverside store: Google says they're closed, and they're not. Someone at the Oak Street location changed the profile's phone number last month. Two stores you bought last year still show their old names. Your location pages all say the same thing with the city swapped. Head office can't see which stores get calls from Google, and every fix happens store by store, so nothing stays fixed.

We start with one location data sheet: every store's name, address, phone, hours, categories, and store code, agreed with you once. That sheet feeds every profile in a single business group and every location page on your site. Then we work through the stores in order of opportunity, giving each page its own staff, services, and photos. You get one report covering every location, instead of chasing managers one by one.

  • One sheet for every store

    Hours, phones, and categories set once, then pushed to each listing at the same time.

  • Profiles in one business group

    Every location under one owner account, with store codes and the same brand name.

  • Rollout ordered by opportunity

    The stores with the most to gain get attention first, not whoever calls head office loudest.

Our Multi Location SEO Services Process

From One Data Sheet to Every Store Ranking in Five Steps

You confirm the store data once, approve the rollout order, and get one monthly report that shows how every location is doing on the map.

  1. We pick three locations with you, usually your strongest, your weakest, and your newest. We run rank grids around each and compare their profiles and pages. We send a written summary of the patterns across stores and walk you through it on a call.

What's Included

What You Get With Multi Location Local SEO

The data, profiles, pages, reviews, and reporting a chain needs, run from one sheet so every store changes the same way at the same time.

  • Location data sheet

    Every store's name, address, phone, hours, and store code in one sheet that feeds each listing.

  • Grouped Business Profiles

    All profiles in one business group with one brand name, store codes, and the right manager access.

  • A page for every store

    A page per staffed location with its own staff, services, photos, parking notes, and directions.

  • Crawlable store locator

    A locator with plain links to every location page, so Google can find and index each one.

  • Reviews for every location

    Request links for each store and reply drafts, so no location's reviews go quiet.

  • Reporting by location

    Rank grids, calls, and review counts for each store, with the weakest locations flagged first.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have built websites, apps, and platforms for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why Chains Trust Us With Every Location

Small mistakes repeat across every store, so we work from one source of truth and treat each store as its own business.

  • One source of truth

    Every change to hours, phones, or categories starts in the data sheet, not on a single profile. That's how holiday closures and moves stay right across every location.

  • One profile per real location

    We keep one profile for each staffed location and remove duplicates from old or acquired stores. Google's guidelines allow one profile per location, so duplicates put both at risk.

  • Pages that truly differ

    Each location page gets details only that store has: staff, services, parking, photos, and directions. Pages that only swap the city name tend to struggle together.

  • No profiles without staff

    We won't create profiles in cities where you have no staffed location. Service-area pages can cover those towns without risking a suspension.

  • Biggest opportunities first

    We work through stores by revenue at stake and how close each is to the map pack. Your best wins come early rather than in alphabetical order.

  • Your accounts, your group

    The business group, profiles, tracking numbers, and pages all stay in your company's name. Store staff keep the access they need, and you control the rest.

Good fit

  • Restaurant and retail groups

    Your group runs eight restaurants, and each manager edits hours differently, so holiday closures show wrong on half the profiles.

  • Clinic and practice groups

    You added three clinics through acquisitions, and each still shows its old name, phone number, and website on Google.

  • Service businesses with branch offices

    Your cleaning company has four branch offices, and each needs to rank in its own towns without fake addresses.

  • Lone marketers at growing chains

    You handle marketing for 15 locations alone and need SEO for multi location business growth that runs without daily store calls.

  • Agencies with chain clients

    Your agency won a 12-location retail client and needs a multi location SEO agency to run the profiles under your brand.

Not a fit

  • Franchise system

    You're a franchisor and each location has its own owner. Franchise SEO Services covers brand standards, franchisee access, and opening playbooks.

  • One or two locations

    You run one or two locations. Local SEO Services covers your profile, pages, and reviews for less, starting at $850 per month.

  • More than 25 locations

    You run more than 25 locations. A listing platform with an in-house team usually fits better than these plans.

  • Budget under $950 a month

    Your budget is under $950 per month. A one-time Local SEO Audit of your weakest store shows what to fix first, from $350.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on what the work covers, ranking in several cities, costs, timelines, and choosing a partner.

  • Multi location SEO is local search work for one business that runs several staffed locations. Each location needs its own accurate Business Profile and its own useful page on the website, all kept consistent from one set of data. The goal is for every store to rank in its own neighborhood without the locations competing with each other.

  • Give every staffed location its own page, linked from a store locator, and connect each page to that location's Business Profile. For towns you serve without an office, write service-area pages with real details about the work you do there. Map rankings follow distance, so cities with no location rely mostly on organic pages.

  • Plans start at $950 per month for up to 5 locations. The $1,600 plan covers up to 12 locations and adds call tracking per store, more pages, and review reply drafts. The $2,400 plan covers up to 25 locations with bulk verification help and a location template rebuild. You get a fixed proposal after a free review of three locations.

  • The data sheet and profile cleanup take about 2 weeks, and the first improved location pages follow within a month. Map gains usually build over 3 to 6 months, faster for stores in quieter areas and slower downtown. Because the rollout follows opportunity, your strongest candidates tend to move first.

  • An agency takes over the work head office can't keep up with: the data sheet, every profile, location pages, reviews, and reporting. The value is consistency, since one team changes hours, categories, and pages the same way everywhere. Head office can finally see which locations bring in calls.

  • Good ones run campaigns from a shared location sheet and a monthly rollout plan. Each month, the stores with the most to gain get new pages, profile updates, and review pushes, while every store gets a rank grid and call count. Holiday hours, openings, and closures go through the sheet first, so every listing changes at once.

  • Ask how they handle three situations: a store closing, holiday hours across every location, and duplicate profiles after an acquisition. Ask for a sample report by location, and whether they've used bulk verification, which Google offers for 10 or more storefronts of one business. Vague answers about rankings without those details are a warning sign.

  • The best partner is the one whose process fits how your locations are run. Company-owned chains need central control of profiles and one data sheet, while franchise systems need brand standards that owners follow. Ask for reporting by location and listings that stay in your name. If your locations are franchised, our Franchise SEO Services page fits better.

  • Look for firms whose reports and pricing are built around locations rather than single websites. Pricing by location count, a shared location data sheet, and rank grids for each store are good signs. We price in location tiers up to 25 stores and report on every one, and we'll tell you if a listing platform suits you better.

  • Yes. The business group, every profile, the location pages, the data sheet, and the tracking numbers stay in your company's name. When the work ends, we hand over the latest data sheet and reports, so your own team or a new agency can carry on without rebuilding anything.
