03 How we work
Three things we do differently
Local SEO usually goes wrong in three places: a half-finished profile, a handful of reviews and listings that don’t match. Here’s how we fix each one.
Your profile
A Business Profile that does the selling
Your profile is often the first thing people see. We fill in every category, service and attribute, add real photos and keep posts and Q&A active, so Google has every reason to show you.
Categories, services and attributes
Photos, posts and Q&A
Profile suspensions sorted out
Reviews
More reviews, without the awkward ask
The easiest time to ask for a review is right after the job. We set up an automatic text or email with a direct review link, plus a QR card for the counter or the van.

The same name, address and phone everywhere
Google trusts what it can confirm. We build and clean up 40+ listings on Bing, Apple Maps, Yelp and industry directories, so your details match everywhere they appear.

Next Nova, a local agency or doing it yourself?
An honest look at the three usual ways to do local SEO.
| Question | Next Nova | Typical local agency | Doing it yourself |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | From $390 a month | Varies widely; often a monthly retainer | Free, but costs your time |
| Contract | Month to month | Often 6–12 months | None |
| Reviews | An automatic request system | Varies | You ask each customer |
| Listings | 40+ citations, kept consistent | Usually included | One at a time |
| What you see | Calls from Google, tracked monthly | Reports vary; ask for a sample | Your profile’s own stats |
| Who owns the profile | You, always | Usually you; check the contract | You |
Where we’re not the best fit
If you serve one small town and already have plenty of reviews, a well-kept Business Profile may be all you need, and you can do that yourself. And if you need someone local who knows your town by name, a local agency may suit you better.

09 Is it right for you?
Who local SEO is for, and who it isn’t
Local SEO works best for businesses that serve a place. Here’s how to tell.
A good fit if you…
Serve customers in a town, city or region, at their place or yours.
Get calls from people searching “near me”.
Have happy customers but not enough reviews to show it.
Want to know which calls came from Google.
Probably not a fit if you…
Sell online across the country. SEO is the better fit.
Need leads this week. Ads to a landing page are faster.
Don’t have a website that converts yet. Start with a new website.
Want to be named by ChatGPT too. Add AI search optimisation.
10 Questions
Straight answers
Still unsure about something? Message us. A real person replies.
Ask on WhatsAppWhat is the Google map pack?
The block of three businesses with a map that appears for local searches. It gets a large share of clicks for “near me” searches.
How do I get more Google reviews?
Ask every happy customer with a direct review link right after the job. We set up an automatic text or email that does this for you.
Do I need a physical address?
No. Service-area businesses can hide their address and list the areas they serve.
Can you help if my profile was suspended?
Yes. We fix the cause and file the reinstatement request with evidence.
How much does local SEO cost?
Plans start at $390 a month, billed monthly with no long contract. More locations or a competitive market need more work each month.
How long does local SEO take?
Most businesses see more calls from Maps within 2–3 months. Reviews and listings keep building after that.
