Local SEO in Houston: Show Up in Google Maps, Search and AI Answers
Local SEO is the work that gets a Houston business into the Google Maps results and the local listings for the services it sells. KUYA's Local Search plan covers your Google Business Profile, service and city pages, on-page and schema fixes, citations, review requests and a monthly ranking check. It is $397 setup plus $597/mo. If you only need your Google profile set up or cleaned up, that is $397 one time.
What local SEO covers
What local SEO covers
- Google Business Profile: the right categories, a complete services list, an accurate description, service areas, hours, photos and a booking link.
- Service and city pages: one page per service you sell, plus city pages only where you actually work.
- On-page and schema fixes: titles, headings, internal links and structured data that state your business facts clearly.
- Citations: the same name, phone and website on Bing Places, Apple Business Connect and the main directories.
- Reviews: a steady flow of review requests to every customer.
- Monthly checks: rankings for your target searches, Google Search Console clicks and impressions, and Google Business Profile calls and website visits.
Google Business Profile
Google Business Profile optimization
For many Houston service businesses the profile matters more than the website for "near me" searches. We set categories and services to match what you sell, write a description that follows Google's rules, add service areas (up to 20), and connect booking. Service-area businesses keep their street address hidden; we set that up correctly so the profile stays compliant. Setup or cleanup is $397 one time.
Reviews
Reviews that follow Google's rules
Our Review Engine sends a review request by text and email after every completed job, to every customer, not only the happy ones. Google does not allow review gating, discounts for reviews or reviews from staff, so we do not do any of those. We draft replies so every review gets an answer. Review Engine is $297 setup plus $197/mo. If your profile has old unanswered or unfair reviews, Reputation Recovery ($697 one time) covers replies, reporting reviews that break Google's policies and restarting requests.

How we work
How we work
Three steps, from the audit to a monthly loop you can see.
- 1
Audit
We check your profile, site, citations and reviews against the searches you want to win, and pull your current Search Console and profile numbers.
- 2
Fix list
The highest-value fixes go first: usually profile categories and services, missing service pages and inconsistent listings.
- 3
Monthly loop
We make one set of changes, measure it at 7, 14 and 28 days, and keep what moves calls and inquiries. You get the numbers, not a vanity report.
