Why local

94% of local searches result in a purchase within 24h.

When a user types 'seo agency in Brussels' or 'restaurant near me', Google first shows the local pack: 3 Google Business Profile cards + a map. These 3 spots capture 60% of clicks. If you're not there, you're invisible, regardless of your classic organic ranking.

Our approach: Google Business Profile worked like a mini-site (categories, attributes, photos, weekly posts, Q/A), consistent NAP citations across the 50 major directories, clean LocalBusiness schemas, structured 5★ review collection. Result: top 3 Map Pack, +73% calls and direction requests.

  • It's the box of 3 Google Business Profile cards + map that appears above classic organic results on local intent queries ('hairdresser in Brussels', 'restaurant near me', 'seo agency Liège'). These 3 spots capture 60% of clicks on this query type. Being there means tripling your visibility. Not being there means being invisible regardless of your pure organic rank.

  • 8 to 16 weeks on average for a GBP starting from scratch. Faster if the profile already exists (3-6 weeks to move from 8th to 3rd position). Factors: GBP optimization (30% weight), consistent NAP citations (20%), reviews and engagement (25%), local backlinks (15%), local content on the site (10%). We work on all 5 levers in parallel.

  • 3 levels. (1) Legitimate review: professional public reply within 24h, proposed resolution, private contact for follow-up. (2) Unjustified but real review: factual reply that re-establishes context (future customers will read too). (3) Manifestly fake or defamatory review: report to Google with evidence. We get removal in 30-40% of cases. We never pay to have reviews removed (illegal and ineffective).

  • We've supported networks up to 220 stores. For multi-store, we use the Google Business Profile API to sync hours, photos, posts and attributes across the network, with site personalization (local offers, events). Consolidated dashboards for HQ + individual access per franchisee/local manager.

  • Not mandatory but quasi-essential if you have local clientele (restaurant, shop, practice, proximity service). Even if you're 100% online, it's useful for 'X agency in Brussels' searches that trigger the local pack. It's free, takes 30 minutes to create (but weeks to optimize well).

  • Classic SEO targets organic results (the 10 blue links). Local SEO targets the local pack (3 GBP cards + map) appearing BEFORE organic results on geo queries. Levers differ: classic SEO = backlinks + content + technical. Local SEO = GBP + NAP citations + reviews + geographic proximity. Both complementary: a well-organic-ranked site reinforces its GBP, and vice versa.

  • 5 main KPIs: (1) Map Pack position on target queries, (2) GBP views (direct vs discovery search), (3) GBP actions (calls, direction requests, site clicks, messages), (4) average rating and review volume, (5) attributed conversions (call tracking + UTM on GBP links). Numbered monthly dashboard with actions → revenue correlation.
