How buyers search
How customers find small businesses on Google and in AI
A small business gets found in three places. The first is the map pack, the few local businesses Google shows on a map for searches like “plumber near me”. The second is the regular results below it, where articles and service pages answer questions like “how much does a new water heater cost”. The third, more and more, is AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews, which answer the question and name a few businesses or sources.
The map pack depends mostly on your Google Business Profile, your address, your reviews and how close the buyer is. The other two depend on your website: whether it has pages that answer what buyers search, whether Google can read them and whether other sites link to it. That is where SEO services for small business do their work, and it is the part we do for you.
This holds for shops with a storefront and for service-based businesses alike. If you run a service area business that visits customers, such as a cleaner or an electrician, your pages about each service are how buyers find you outside the map, so SEO for a service-based business leans even more on the website.
What's included
What our SEO for small businesses includes
Everything a small business needs from SEO, done for you, without hiring anyone or learning a tool.
Research on what your buyers search
We read your site, your market and your competitors, then find the searches your buyers use, including the words people add when they look for a local business, like “near me”. Keywords that name a country you do not sell to are filtered out.
30 articles a month
One a day, written to your brand brief, with images, schema and internal links to your own pages. Publish live, or receive drafts and review them first.
Your site, fixed
Empty titles, meta descriptions and alt text filled, your sitemap switched on, broken addresses redirected and schema for your business added. You approve each batch and can undo it.
Links from other real businesses
90 credits a month in our backlink exchange. The matcher looks for partners in your niche first, prefers sites close to your site's strength and never pairs you with a competitor you track.
AI recommendations tracked
Every week we ask 70 questions your buyers ask in the AI assistants, and show whether you are named, who is named instead and which sources the answers trust.
A person to ask
A dedicated account manager for your project and priority 24/7 support. Every request gets a ticket number and a reply from our team.
Who it's for
Who our small business SEO agency is for
Think of us as a small business SEO agency without the agency invoice. Most SMB SEO companies sell to the same owners we work with. We fit best when:
- Your buyers search for what you sell, but your site rarely shows up
- Nobody on your team has time to write articles every week
- You have no SEO person on staff and do not want to hire one
- You run a service-based business and want buyers in your area to find you
- You sell online and want product searches to reach your store
- Your site runs on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow or another platform we publish to
- You run several sites and want 10% off every site once you have two
- You want to see the work as it happens, not wait for a monthly report
Example
Example content plan for a small business
An illustration for a made-up plumbing company, to show the kind of plan you get. Yours is built from your own keyword research, your services and your market.
| Week | Article | The search behind it | Why it is in the plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | How much does a water heater replacement cost? | water heater replacement cost | Buyers comparing prices are close to calling someone |
| 1 | Tankless vs tank water heater: which one fits your home? | tankless vs tank water heater | A comparison asked right before a purchase |
| 2 | Why your drain keeps clogging, and when to call a plumber | drain keeps clogging | A problem search that turns into a service call |
| 2 | How to choose a plumber: questions to ask before you hire | how to choose a plumber | Earns trust from buyers ready to pick someone |
| 3 | Signs your sewer line needs repair | signs of sewer line damage | Reaches homeowners before the problem is urgent |
| 4 | What to do when a pipe bursts | what to do when a pipe bursts | An urgent search where a clear answer wins the call |
A real month holds 30 articles. Each one targets one search, is sized against the pages that already rank for it and links to your own pages. Before writing, we check whether one of your pages already ranks in the top 10 for that search, and pick another topic if it does.
Local SEO
Local SEO for small businesses
Local SEO has two halves. The first is your Google Business Profile: your categories, hours, photos, reviews and address. That half is yours. We read your profile in the dashboard, but we do not manage your reviews or your address, and we cannot put a business into Google's map pack ourselves.
The second half is your website, and that is ours to do. We research the searches buyers make in your market, the local ones included, write articles that answer them, add schema for your business so Google reads your details correctly and earn links from other real businesses, in your field first.
For more local signals, two add-ons open once your plan is paid: Local Citations, which lists your business in 15 to 100 directories for $144 to $960, paid once, and Online Directory Submission for $299 to $1,199, paid once.
AI assistants
How small businesses get recommended by AI assistants
When someone asks ChatGPT for a good accountant nearby or the best running shoes for flat feet, the answer names a handful of businesses and cites a few pages. Those answers lean on pages that rank in search and on the sources the assistants trust.
So the work is the same as for Google, done with AI in mind: articles that open with a direct answer, FAQ markup, a clear structure and an llms.txt summary of your site for AI assistants. Then we measure it. Every week we ask 70 questions your buyers ask in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, and show which ones name you, who is named instead and which pages the answers cite.

Best SEO services for small business: your options compared
There is no best SEO company for every small business. It depends on your budget and how much you want to do yourself. An SEO consultant for a small business is a good fit when you want advice, but you or your team still do the work. A small business SEO expert on staff costs a salary. We sit in between: the work is done for you, and a person is on your account.
| SeoVision | Local SEO agency | SEO consultant | Doing it yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $149 per site | Often $500 to $1,000 or more | Often $100 to $150 an hour | About $130 to $500 for tools, plus your time |
| Who does the work | We do, every day | The agency's team | Often you, with their advice | You |
| Articles | 30 a month, published for you | Depends on the package | Rarely included | You write them |
| Technical fixes | Written on your site after your OK | Often a report, sometimes fixes | A list of recommendations | A list of errors from a tool |
| Google Business Profile | Read in your dashboard, managed by you | Often managed for you | Advice | You |
| Meeting in person | No, we are remote | Often possible | Sometimes | Not needed |
| Contract | None | Often 6 to 12 months | Varies | Monthly tool plans |

What we do not do for small businesses
We do not manage your Google Business Profile, answer your reviews or change your address, and we have no office in your city, so we cannot meet you in person. We cannot put a business into Google's map pack ourselves. What we do is everything on your website that helps buyers find you.
We do not build websites or promise rankings. If you need a new site first, start there and come back when it is live. A free audit shows what your site needs before you pay anything.
Questions
SEO for small business: frequently asked questions
How much does SEO cost for a small business?
Surveys of SEO agencies put the most common retainer at $500 to $1,000 a month, and Backlinko's 2025 survey puts the average monthly cost at $1,000 to $2,500. SeoVision costs $149 a month per site, with research, 30 articles, technical fixes, backlinks and AI tracking included.
Is there an SEO package for small businesses?
Our one plan is the small business SEO package: $149 a month per site, no contract, everything included. When you need more, you can add 30 more articles for $80 a month, and every site costs 10% less from the second one.
How do I optimize SEO for a small business?
Start with what your buyers search, then give each search one clear page that answers it. Make sure Google can crawl your site, fill your titles and descriptions, add schema for your business, keep your Google Business Profile complete and earn links from relevant sites. Then keep publishing, because SEO rewards steady work.
Can I do SEO on my own?
Yes, and many owners start that way. It takes hours every week and usually a tool subscription of about $130 to $500 a month. If you would rather spend that time on your business, we do the work for you for $149 a month.
Why is SEO so expensive?
Because most of it is skilled work done every month: research, writing, technical fixes and link building. Agencies bill it as hours, so Ahrefs found the most common retainer at $501 to $1,000 and agencies averaging about $3,200. We do the daily work with software and keep our team for checks and support, which is how the price stays at $149.
How long does SEO take for a small business?
Expect your first articles live and checked for indexing in the first weeks, and impressions on specific searches over the next months. Competitive searches take longer. Nobody can promise a position on Google by a date.
What does service area mean?
A service area is the set of cities or zip codes a business serves at the customer's location, like a plumber, a cleaner or a mobile mechanic. On Google, a service area business shows those areas instead of a public street address.
How do I verify a service area business on Google?
You verify it in your Google Business Profile, where you hide your street address and list the areas you serve. Google chooses the verification method, such as a video, a phone or text code, or a postcard. We do not manage your profile, but we read it in your dashboard.
