Frequently asked questions
Navigating the world of local online marketing can bring up many questions and sometimes a few misunderstandings. We've compiled answers to the most common queries we receive to help clarify our process, our philosophy, and how we deliver tangible results for your business.
How long does it take to see results and what if it doesn't work?
Most businesses start seeing movement within 2–4 weeks, and more meaningful results within 60–90 days. While we can't guarantee specific rankings (no ethical SEO company can), we guarantee our dedicated effort, transparent reporting, and a focus on sustainable strategies to significantly improve your local visibility and customer engagement.
What common misunderstandings do people have about local online marketing?
A frequent misunderstanding is that a beautiful website is always the top priority. For local customers, your Google Business Profile often matters more than your website. Most choose straight from Google Maps, making your GBP the most critical asset for local searches, driving direct calls and visits to your business.
What makes Smooth's Local Optimization's approach unique?
We focus on the one place local customers actually choose who to call: Google Maps. Instead of spreading effort across ads, social media, and complicated, broad SEO strategies, we optimize what you already own — your Google Business Profile — to get you more visibility, more calls, and ultimately, more customers for your business.
What should I expect when starting with Smooth's Local Optimization?
Our typical process begins with a comprehensive audit of your existing Google Business Profile and local online presence. Once onboarded, we implement targeted optimization strategies. You'll start seeing initial movement within 2–4 weeks, with more significant, measurable results and increased customer engagement within 60–90 days.
