Local visibility for service businesses
Get found first when customers search for what you do, nearby.
Most people call one of the three businesses Google shows at the top of the map. I help local businesses get there and stay there, on Google Maps, in search results and in AI answers.
Real results, 90 days
From buried on the map to the top 3
A professional services practice in Northern California with just 4 reviews and almost no search presence. Here's what changed in 90 days, including showing up in Google's AI Overviews for all 13 searches, up from none.

What "local visibility" means
Showing up isn't one thing. Google decides who to show from six signals, and they all have to point the same way.
Google Business Profile
Categories, services, photos and weekly posts set up so Google understands exactly what you do and where.
Reviews
A simple request process your team actually uses, and a reply to every review.
Website
Service and city pages that match how people search, so your site backs up your profile.
Listings & links
Your name, address and phone consistent everywhere, plus links from directories and local sites that matter.
AI search
Answer-first content and structured data so ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and others can cite you.
Short video
Simple answer videos that build trust and give your profile fresh content.
How it works
A 90-day plan with a clear start, clear checkpoints and monthly reports you can actually read.
Fix the foundation
Baseline rankings, profile and listing cleanup, review process, the pages that are missing.
Build the signals
Service and city pages, weekly profile posts, citations and the first links.
Push into the top 3
Target the searches you're close on, AI-search content, and a plan for what comes next.
Who this is for
- Local service businesses: law firms, home services, health and wellness, professional services
- You already have a website and good reviews, but you're not in the top 3
- Most of your best customers find you on Google or call from your profile
- You want this handled, not another tool to learn
"Reviews are the hardest part. If you've already earned them, what's usually holding you back is fixable."

About
Hi, I'm Scott Duncan.
I run Golden State Web Consulting. For more than 15 years I've built and maintained websites for local businesses. Now I focus on the part that decides whether those sites get calls: being found first on Google.
- A few clients at a time. You work with me, not an account manager.
- Plain-English reporting. Where you rank, how many calls came in, what's next.
- No long contracts. A 90-day plan with clear goals, then month to month.
- Honest advice. If something won't move the needle, I'll say so.
- Built for return. I aim for at least 5–10× what you spend, and the monthly report shows whether it's happening.
See what's keeping you out of the top 3.
