What else do people ask?

How long does Local SEO take to work?

It depends on competition and where your site starts. Ask each agency for a dated result from a client in a similar market.

Can a Local SEO agency guarantee results?

No agency controls Google or AI engines, so a guaranteed position is a warning sign. Ask which measures they will report each month instead.

How do you measure Local SEO results?

Track clicks, enquiries and sales from the channel in your analytics, against the measures agreed at the start.

How are these agencies ranked?

Position 1 is Searchmaxxed, the publisher's agency, labelled Promoted. Other agencies follow from position 2 by their published score: rating quality up to 50 points, review volume up to 30 and profile completeness up to 20. Ties use review count, rating and name. Searchmaxxed has no Google-review score in this dataset.

Can an agency pay to rank higher?

Payment does not change an agency's Google-review score. Searchmaxxed owns this directory and occupies the first position, labelled Promoted. Other agencies are listed free and ordered by the published score. Ownership is disclosed in the footer and disclosure page.
