Local SEO · Colorado

Local SEO for Colorado businesses.

Get found in the Google map pack, in AI Overviews, and in ChatGPT/Perplexity answers. Local SEO is built into every ProxMedia website — and we run ongoing optimization for businesses that want to dominate their service area.

What it is

Local SEO, defined.

Local SEO is what gets your business into Google's 3-pinned map results, into AI answer boxes, and into the organic results below the map when someone searches a service in your city. It's a combination of on-site optimization (schema, FAQ, content), off-site signals (citations, reviews, links), and your Google Business Profile. We build the on-site layer into every website and run ongoing optimization as a retainer.

Who it's for

Built for Colorado service businesses

Service businesses on the Front Range that depend on local search — and that's basically every service business. If your customers Google '[service] near me' or '[service] in [city]', you need local SEO.

What's included

The full Local SEO offer

Foundation (included with every site)

LocalBusiness schema, FAQPage schema, sitemap.xml, robots.txt (AI crawlers allowed), llms.txt, canonical tags, NAP in footer, Google Search Console setup, GA4 — every Launchpad and Scale build ships with this on day one.

Google Business Profile setup

Profile claim or migration, full optimization — categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A — and a review-request system. Most local rankings live or die on GBP.

Citations + directory listings

Consistent NAP across Yelp, Bing Places, Apple Maps, BBB, Angi, Thumbtack, plus Front Range chambers of commerce. Inconsistent listings actively suppress rankings — we sweep them.

Ongoing optimization

Monthly GBP posts, review monitoring + responses, schema updates as services change, location/service page expansion. Available as a retainer.

How it works

Our process

1

Audit

We audit your current local presence — site, GBP, citations, reviews, competitor positions. You see exactly where you rank and what's holding you back.

2

Fix the foundation

On-site schema, FAQ, NAP, sitemap, robots, llms.txt — anything missing gets added. Usually included with a website build.

3

Claim + optimize GBP

Google Business Profile claimed (or migrated), categories set, photos uploaded, services listed, review-request flow wired.

4

Build citations + reviews

Directory listings cleaned and submitted. Review-request system sends to every completed customer.

5

Monitor + scale

Track rankings, AI citations, and GBP performance monthly. Expand into more cities and services as the wins compound.

FAQ

Local SEO questions, answered

How long does local SEO take to work?

Map-pack movement: 2–4 weeks after GBP optimization. AI Overviews / AI chat citations: often 1–3 weeks. Competitive local terms: 3–6 months. Set expectations honestly — local SEO compounds.

Do I need a Google Business Profile?

Yes. GBP is the only way to win the 3-pinned map pack. A site without a GBP can still rank in organic results and AI answers, but it can't win the map pack.

How is this different from regular SEO?

Local SEO targets searches with local intent — '[service] near me' or '[service] in [city]'. It weighs proximity, GBP signals, reviews, and citations more heavily than national SEO does.

Is local SEO included with a ProxMedia website?

Yes — the on-site foundation is built into every Launchpad and Scale build. GBP setup and ongoing citation/review work are separate offerings.

What's 'AI SEO' or 'GEO'?

Getting cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. About 48% of Google searches now show an AI Overview. Our builds ship with the schema, FAQ structure, and clean content AI engines need to quote you.

Can you rank a brand-new business?

Yes — but it takes longer because Google trusts older businesses more. We start with low-competition terms (specific service + specific city) and expand as authority builds.
