Got Questions?

Real answers about local SEO pricing, timelines, and what actually happens once you sign up, written for plumbers, roofers, HVAC companies, and other home service businesses, not generic agency talk.

What does SMBify do?

SMBify is a local SEO company built specifically for home service contractors. We optimize your Google Business Profile, build local citations, run backlink campaigns, and help your business show up in the map pack when homeowners search for a plumber, roofer, HVAC company, or similar trade in your area.

What trades does SMBify work with?

We currently work with plumbing, roofing, water damage restoration, solar installation, dumpster rental, tree service, and HVAC businesses. We don't take on every industry, staying focused on home service trades is what lets us actually understand how your customers search.

Do you only work with businesses in the USA?

Yes. SMBify serves home service contractors across the United States only.

How is SMBify different from a general digital marketing agency?

Most agencies split their attention across every industry and every marketing channel, from social media to paid ads to web design. SMBify does one thing: local SEO for home service contractors. That focus means our strategy is built around how homeowners actually search for a plumber or HVAC company, not a generic template pulled from an unrelated industry.

How long does local SEO take to show results?

Most clients start seeing ranking movement within 30 to 60 days. Local SEO is not instant, it's a compounding process built on citation accuracy, Google Business Profile signals, and ongoing optimization, so early gains tend to build over the following months.

Do you work with businesses that have more than one location?

Yes. Local SEO pricing is $299 a month per location, so multi location contractors can scale the same process across each service area.

What exactly is included in your local SEO service?

Local SEO covers full Google Business Profile management, on page optimization for your website, and monthly rank tracking so you can see exactly where you stand for the search terms that matter to your business.

What is a local citation campaign, and why does it matter?

A citation is any online listing of your business name, address, and phone number, think directories like Yelp or Angi. Inconsistent or missing citations quietly hurt your local rankings. Our citation campaign builds and corrects these listings across the directories Google actually trusts.

What kind of backlinks do you build, and are they safe?

We focus on targeted local and industry relevant backlinks that build authority for your website without the spammy, mass produced links that can put your rankings at risk. Backlink campaigns are custom priced based on the scope of work.

What is your press release service, and how does it help my rankings?

A press release gets your business featured through legitimate press coverage, which builds credibility with both homeowners researching your business and Google's ranking systems. This is custom priced per project depending on distribution scope.

What are AI citations, and why do I need them?

Homeowners are increasingly asking tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews for local recommendations instead of typing a search into Google. AI citations work to get your business named in those AI generated answers, not just traditional search results. This service is custom priced per project.

Do you build or redesign my website?

No. SMBify focuses exclusively on local SEO, meaning your Google Business Profile, citations, backlinks, and on page optimization. If your website needs a redesign, that's a separate conversation we're happy to have, but it's not part of the core local SEO service.

Do you manage my Google Business Profile for me?

Yes. Google Business Profile management is a core part of the local SEO service, including category selection, photo strategy, review response guidance, and keeping your listing accurate and active.

Can you help me rank in specific cities I serve, not just my home city?

Yes. If your plumbing, HVAC, or roofing business serves multiple cities or a wider service area, we build out your Google Business Profile and on page strategy to target those specific service areas, not just your main location.

How much does local SEO cost?

Local SEO is a flat $299 a month per location. No setup fees, no bidding on ad spend.

How much do citations cost?

Citations are priced per link at $1 each, so cost depends on how many directories your citation campaign covers.

How much do backlinks, press releases, and AI citations cost?

These three services are custom priced per project based on scope, since backlink volume, press distribution reach, and AI citation targets vary by business. We'll walk through pricing on a call before starting any of these.

Are there setup fees or long term contracts?

No. There are no setup fees and no long term contracts on the local SEO service. You stay because the rankings are improving, not because you're locked into an agreement.

What payment methods do you accept?

Confirm accepted payment methods, such as bank transfer, cards.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Since there are no long term contracts on the local SEO retainer, you can cancel at any time.

How do I get started with SMBify?

Book a meeting through our booking page. We'll get on a call, talk through your business and current local rankings, and figure out together whether local SEO is the right fit before anything moves forward.

What information do you need from me to begin?

Just your business name, service area, current Google Business Profile access, and a sense of which services or cities you want to prioritize. We'll walk you through the rest during onboarding.

Do you provide an audit before I commit to anything?

Our discovery call includes a look at your current Google Business Profile and rankings, so you'll know where you stand before deciding whether to move forward, not a lock-in decision made blind.

How do I track my rankings and results once I'm a client?

You get monthly ranking reports showing where you stand for your target search terms, along with visibility into your citation status and Google Business Profile activity.
