Question 1

What happens in a free audit?

Accepted Answer

We review the information you provide, look for incomplete or inconsistent profile and website details, and send practical priorities you can act on.

Question 2

Can you guarantee a Google ranking?

Accepted Answer

No. Google says local results are mainly based on relevance, distance and prominence. Competition and the searcher's location also vary, so no responsible provider can guarantee a position.

Question 3

Do you build and host websites too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Local Boost provides mobile-first website design and hosting alongside Google Business Profile and local SEO work. Scope and ongoing needs are agreed before work starts.

Question 4

Do I keep ownership of my Google Business Profile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You retain ownership. When access is needed, Local Boost should be added with the appropriate profile permission rather than taking ownership.

Question 5

How do review requests stay within Google's rules?

Accepted Answer

Ask customers for honest feedback without incentives, pressure, or filtering by expected sentiment. We do not recommend review gating.

Question 6

How is progress measured?

Accepted Answer

Useful baselines can include profile completeness, website actions, calls, direction requests and search visibility data available to the business. We agree on relevant measures before implementation.

Question 7

Which areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Local Boost is based in Baldwin and works with businesses across Long Island, New York City and beyond when the service is a good fit.
