Local SEO Retainer

The local SEO template for agencies serving multi-location service brands.

Local SEO is its own discipline — Google Business Profile, citations, review velocity, local content, geo-targeted landing pages. This template prices per location so multi-location prospects can see exactly what they pay for the 1st location vs the 25th. Built for service businesses, franchises, and regional operators.

Investment structure

Three pricing tiers, edit-in-place.

Setup fee + monthly retainer. Round numbers. Each tier includes everything below it plus specific upgrades. The middle tier is recommended — most clients pick it.

How to price local SEO in 2026

Foundation: $1,200/mo + $1,500 setup, single location, GBP optimization, 30 citations, on-page, ranking report. Growth: $2,800/mo + $3,500 setup, up to 5 locations, review system, local content, 3 quality links/month. Scale: $6,500/mo + $8,000 setup, up to 25 locations, custom landing pages, automated review acquisition, dedicated strategist. Volume discounts kick in past 5 locations.

Common mistakes this template fixes

1) Pricing the same for 1 location vs 50 — you bleed money on the latter. Tier by count. 2) Ignoring review acquisition (it's the #1 lever in 2026). 3) Treating GBP as set-it-and-forget-it. 4) No local content — generic city + service pages convert badly. Build content for actual neighborhoods and intents.

When to use this template

Multi-location service business (dental, legal, home services, fitness, restaurants) or franchise with 3+ locations. Their map-pack visibility is weak and they want to dominate their service area, not just "do SEO."
