Your Google Business Profile comes first
When someone nearby searches for what you do, the map results with stars and a phone number usually come before any website. Those come from Google Business Profiles. Ours is a $149 one-time setup: the complete profile, the right primary and secondary categories, your services, hours and service area, photos, and local optimization, so you show up properly on Search and Maps.
If Google asks you to verify the business (by video, phone or post), we walk you through it.
SEO built into every website
Every Valdra site ships with the basics done properly:
- A clear title and description for every page, written for the searches that matter to you.
- Headings that say what you do and where you do it.
- Structured data (schema) that tells Google your services, prices, hours and service area.
- Fast loading on phones, and a page that works for people using screen readers.
- Content that AI assistants can read, even the ones that do not run JavaScript.
The Premium website adds deeper SEO and schema work page by page. See web design in Asheville for both plans.
Ongoing local SEO
Search is long-term work. In the Digital Marketing plan ($1,499 a month) we manage your Google Business Profile, keep working on SEO, run Google Ads and social media, and send a monthly report so you can see what is working. Ad spend is billed separately.
What actually moves local rankings
- Reviews. Real reviews, steadily over time, ideally mentioning the service and the town (“they cleaned our cabin in Weaverville”).
- The same name, address and phone everywhere. Your site, Google, Facebook, Yelp and directories should all match exactly.
- A page for each thing you do. One page trying to rank for everything usually ranks for nothing.
- Being mentioned elsewhere. Local news, directories, partners and suppliers linking to you.
We will not promise you the number one spot. Nobody controls Google’s rankings, and anyone who guarantees them is guessing. We promise the work, done properly, and a report that shows what changed.
Questions
Is Google Business Profile free?
Google’s Business Profile itself is free. Our $149 one-time setup is the work: the full profile, the right categories, photos and local optimization, so you show up properly on Google Search and Maps.
How long does local SEO take to work?
It varies with your industry, your town and how established your competitors are. A properly set-up Google Business Profile can start showing up for local searches fairly quickly; ranking higher is steady work over months, not days.
Do you guarantee first page rankings?
No. Nobody controls Google’s rankings. We do the work properly and report what changed every month.
