THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE EVIDENCE

Measured on devices.
Matched to your market.

SEO Local uses its device network to run searches and capture Google Maps results. Your target service, location and measurement method are agreed before the trial begins.

The useful part isn’t a rack of phones. It’s a result you can inspect for a keyword your business actually cares about.

Questions about your business?Ask Russ directly
When will I pay?

Only after an approved keyword reaches Google Maps positions 1–3 within 90 days of activation, we send the agreed device-verified evidence, and you affirmatively confirm you want to continue at $299/month. Applying or saving a card does not itself start billing.

Why is a card required later?

After your business and keyword scope are approved, secure Stripe card setup is required to activate for $0. It confirms your commitment before work begins. We do not ask for a card on this application, and the card is not charged just because it is saved.

What if no keyword reaches the top 3?

If no approved keyword achieves the agreed qualifying result within 90 days of activation, you pay nothing under this offer. There is no automatic charge at the end of the 90-day window.

Do I need a website?

You can apply without one. We review your business and Google Maps eligibility before proposing a plan. If your listing or business details need attention, we’ll explain the next step instead of silently activating an unsuitable trial.

Which keywords and locations count?

We propose up to five terms for your actual services and agree on the location, starting rank and measurement method before activation. You approve that scope. A term already in the top 3 at baseline cannot count as a newly delivered result. Rankings can differ across locations and devices.

Can I choose not to continue?

Yes. Receiving ranking proof does not automatically start a subscription. You choose whether to continue at $299/month. Contact Russ to cancel or ask about your application. If you continue, the paid subscription terms are shown again before you authorize it.

START WITH YOUR BUSINESS. NOT YOUR CARD.

Proof first.
Payment by your approval.

$0 to activate. $299/month only after a qualifying result and your confirmation.
