    Local & multi-location SEO. Rank in every market.

    Multi-location SEO is the hardest discipline in the industry. We audit location templates, NAP consistency, GBP optimization, review velocity, and the local content that actually moves the map pack.

    Most multi-location brands ship the same location-page template across 50+ markets and wonder why none of them rank. Local SEO rewards uniqueness, proof, and operational signals — not template copy. We audit every layer.

    // Templates

    Location page template & uniqueness

    We audit template uniqueness, local proof, and the content depth that separates a #2 from a #14 in the local pack.

    // GBP

    Google Business Profile optimization

    Categories, services, attributes, posts, photos, and Q&A — across every location, audited and prioritized.

    // Reviews

    Review velocity & response

    Review volume, recency, and response rate are now ranking signals. We audit your review operations end-to-end.

    // Schema

    LocalBusiness schema & NAP consistency

    Schema-level consistency across site, GBP, and citations — the foundation that lets the rest of local SEO compound.

    // Frequently_Asked

    Questions about this engagement.

    How many locations can you audit?+

    We've audited from 5 to 5,000 locations. Multi-location pricing scales with location count and template complexity.

    Do you handle Google Business Profile management too?+

    We audit GBP and prescribe the playbook (categories, services, posts cadence, photo strategy, Q&A). Day-to-day GBP execution can be done by your team or, for multi-location brands, by our in-house local-ops team as an add-on.

    How important are reviews for local rankings now?+

    Critical. Volume, recency, response rate, and keyword diversity inside reviews are all live ranking signals. We audit review velocity per location against competitors and build the operational playbook to close the gap.

    Do AI Mode and AIO surface local results?+

    Yes — increasingly. "Plumber near me", "family law firm in [city]" now routinely return AI answers that cite a handful of local providers. Brands with clean LocalBusiness schema and strong review velocity dominate these citations.

    How do we make sure our company shows up on AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini?+

    Three layers, in order. First, entity clarity: one canonical Organization with @id anchors, sameAs links to authoritative databases, and knowsAbout coverage of your real expertise. Second, extractable content: atomic answer blocks, comparison tables, transparent pricing and specs, and FAQ blocks on every commercial page. Third, corroboration: mentions in the roundups, directories, review platforms, and trade publications those engines retrieve. Measure it by probing a fixed set of buying questions monthly and tracking citation frequency per engine.

    What actually makes a page get cited by AI instead of just ranked?+

    Citability. AI engines lift passages that answer one question completely in 40–80 words, in plain language, with a concrete number, definition, or list. Pages that bury the answer under narrative rarely get quoted. We rewrite key pages so every important question has a self-contained answer block, wrapped in schema that labels what it is.

    Is SEO still worth investing in now that AI answers so many queries?+

    Yes, because AI answers are built from indexed pages. Every major assistant retrieves from a crawled index, so pages that aren't crawlable, renderable, or structured never enter the candidate pool. Classic SEO is now the entry requirement for AI visibility, and the two programs share almost all of the same work.

    How quickly can we expect results from an Arise GEO engagement?+

    Technical recovery and on-page work typically show movement in 30–60 days. AI citation lift on long-tail and comparison queries usually lands in 30–90 days. Category-level authority and head-term rankings are a 6–12 month curve. Every engagement ships a sequenced 90-day plan so early wins fund the long work.

    What do we get, and what does it cost?+

    You get a forensic audit, a prioritized 90-day execution plan with effort and impact scoring, and optional done-for-you implementation by our engineers and editors. Pricing is scoped per engagement based on catalog size, locale count, and whether you want execution included. Implement our 90-day plan and if you don't see results in 3–6 months, we refund you in full.
