Local SEO for small businesses in the Philippines
Show up in the map pack and the near-me searches that bring calls, walk-ins, and bookings. I work on your Google Business Profile, citations, reviews, and the local on-page signals that decide who ranks first. Built and tested on this site before it was offered as a service. Remote-first, built around how local search actually works in the Philippines.
What it covers
What local SEO actually moves.
Google Business Profile and the map pack
- Categories, services, hours, and photos set up to match what people search.
- The signals behind the local 3-pack: relevance, distance, and prominence.
- Posts, products, and Q&A that keep the profile active.
- A review approach: getting more of them, and responding so they count.
Local on-page and citations
- NAP consistency: name, address, and phone matching across the web.
- Citations and directory listings that back up your profile.
- Location and service pages built for near-me and city queries.
- Local schema and internal links that tie the whole thing together.
How I work
Audit first, then a plan you can act on.
I start by checking your profile, citations, reviews, and local pages by hand, not just a tool score. Then you get a short, ordered plan: what is holding your local visibility back, why it matters, and the concrete fix, with the high-impact items first.
1. Audit
Profile, citations, reviews, and local pages checked by hand against how the map pack ranks.
2. Plan
A prioritized list: the local problems that matter, ranked by impact, with the concrete fix for each.
3. Fix
Do it yourself with the plan, hand it to your team, or have me implement the high-impact items.
4. Track
Watch movement in Search Console and the map pack: impressions, calls, directions, and position.
What I need from you
Read-only access to start. Nothing more.
The site you want ranked, plus the exact business name, address, and phone you use everywhere.
Add the email I send you as a restricted Viewer. That is read-only: I can see your data, not change anything. It is enough to start. Prefer not to share? A few exports or screenshots work too.
Manager access only comes up if we move from the plan to actually making fixes on the profile. Not needed for the audit.
The cities or areas you serve, and who outranks you locally. Useful context, not a blocker.
To start, read-only access to Search Console is enough. I never need your website password or profile manager rights to find the problems. Profile access only comes up if you later ask me to implement the fixes, and even then it is a separate, agreed step.
The honest differentiator
Built and tested on this site, not on your money.
Tested on my own site first
The methods here are the ones I run on floxolab.com before anything is offered as a service. Same tools, same checks, proven on a real site. No client used as practice, and no tactics I have not run myself.
You own everything, no lock-in
Your profile, your Search Console, your site, all yours. Access is read-only to start and you can revoke it any time. No long contract, and no platform you cannot walk away from.
Honest scope
What this is, and what it is not.
What it is
- A clear, prioritized plan for local visibility you can act on.
- Real work on profile, citations, reviews, and local on-page.
- Remote-first, built around the Philippine local market.
What it is not
- Not a ranking guarantee. Nobody can promise the top of the map pack.
- Not fake reviews or spam citations. Those get profiles suspended.
- Not a long lock-in contract or a black-box package.
FAQ
Straight answers before you ask.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No. Anyone who does is lying. Local rankings depend on Google, your competition, and your profile and reviews over time. I can make your local setup as strong as it can be, but nobody can promise a position.
Do you need access to my Google Business Profile?
Read-only access to Search Console is enough to start. Google Business Profile access only comes up if we move from the plan to actually making fixes.
Is this only for businesses in the Philippines?
The service is built around Philippine market conditions, but the work is remote-first, so I can help businesses elsewhere too.
