FAQ

Local SEO services, common questions

What's the difference between GBP optimization and Google Maps SEO?

GBP optimization is the on-profile work, categories, services, photos, attributes, posts, descriptions. Google Maps SEO is the broader ranking work, citations, reviews, off-profile signals, content marketing, competitive benchmarking. We bundle both into our standard plans because Map Pack ranking needs both. New to the terminology? Our local SEO glossary and Google Business Profile FAQ explain every term in plain English.

Do you only offer monthly plans?

Most of our work is monthly subscription (Basic, Pro and Enterprise). Suspension recovery is a flat-fee one-time engagement. Standalone full audits are also a one-time service. Citation expansion can be added a la carte.

How do I pick the right service?

If you want ongoing optimization: pick a monthly plan which bundles the core services. If you have a specific problem (suspended profile, duplicate listings, fake reviews), use the matching standalone service. The free audit recommends the right starting point for your situation.

What's included in every monthly plan?

Full GBP optimization, 80+ NAP-consistent citations, review acquisition system, monthly Google Posts, monthly performance report, email support. Higher tiers add active review response, more frequent posts, dedicated account manager and quarterly competitor benchmarks.

How long until results show up?

Most businesses see Map Pack movement in 60-90 days. High-competition metros (NYC, LA, Houston Med Center, dental, attorneys) take 4-6 months for sustained top-3 placement. Suburban categories often hit top-3 inside 90 days.

Are there contracts?

No. Every monthly plan is month-to-month, cancel any time. Suspension recovery is the one fixed exception (flat fee, no fee if we cannot recover) and is not a subscription.

Do you offer custom enterprise scope?

Yes, for 10+ locations, franchise systems, or regulated industries, we build a custom Enterprise scope and quote. Email info@gmbexperts.us with your location count and we send a tailored proposal.

What is NOT included in any plan?

Website design or development, paid Google Ads management, organic blog content, social media management and PR are all outside our scope. We focus exclusively on Google Business Profile and local SEO so we can do it deeply.
