Review Generation & Reputation
Automated post-visit review request sequences, negative review monitoring, and response strategy. Consistent 4.5+ star ratings across Google, Yelp, and industry platforms drive local pack rankings.

Local Search Has 4 Surfaces Now. We Cover All of Them.
Google Maps Local Pack
The top 3 businesses for every local query. GBP management is the primary driver. 60–70% of local search calls come from here.
Google AI Overviews
AI-generated summaries appearing above traditional results on 40%+ of queries. FAQPage schema + E-E-A-T + GBP data = AI Overview eligibility.
ChatGPT & Perplexity
When patients ask AI tools 'best dentist near me', these engines pull from GBP, authoritative directories, and on-site FAQ content. LLMs.txt + citations + AEO content = AI citation.
Bing Places + Apple Maps
Powers Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, and iPhone navigation. Most agencies skip these entirely. We set them up and maintain them as standard.
Local Search Facts Every Business Owner Should Know
Nearly half of all local searches convert to an in-person visit the same day. Ranking in the local pack isn't a nice-to-have — it's the primary patient and customer acquisition channel for local businesses.
The Google Maps local pack (top 3 results) drives the majority of calls to local businesses. If you're not in the top 3, most searchers never see you — regardless of your organic ranking.
One of the lowest search difficulty scores on the entire commercial keyword list. High commercial intent, $33 CPC, 720 monthly searches — and almost no competition. Seal Global is building for it.
Dentists, plastic surgeons, restaurants, law firms, contractors — every local business eventually searches this. It's the highest-volume entry point into local search marketing services.
With consistent GBP management, citation building, and on-page optimization, most single-location businesses see meaningful local pack movement in 3–6 months. GBP changes can show impact within weeks.
