The fastest way to hit $100k/month for a local business:

1. Stop trying to rank nationwide.

Most local businesses waste time chasing keywords like “best plumber.”

You’ll never win that game.

Instead, go all-in on local intent:

- “Emergency plumber in Dallas”
- “Best sushi near me”
- “Personal injury lawyer in Atlanta”

The customers you want? They’re searching locally.

2. Optimize my Google Business Profile (GBP) FIRST.

80% of local businesses ignore GBP until they realize they’re invisible on Google.

Big mistake.

- Add real photos (not stock images)
- Get 10+ reviews ASAP (ask past customers)
- Fill out everything - hours, services, business description

If your GBP isn’t optimized, you’re invisible.

3. Build a ‘money page’ for core service.

Most local sites just list services with zero intent to rank.

Create a power page targeting:

- “[Service] in [City]”
- “Best [Service] near me”
- “Affordable [Service] in [City]”

Example: Instead of a generic "Plumbing" page, we’d create "Drain Cleaning in Austin – Fast & Affordable Service"

4. Optimize for ‘near me’ searches.

People don’t type exact locations - Google does the work.

How to trigger “near me” rankings:

- Embed a Google Map
- List nearby landmarks in content
- Mention local zip codes naturally
- Add “Serving [Nearby Cities]” in the footer

5. Get backlinks from real local sources.

Most businesses rely on spammy directory links. They don’t work.

Instead, focus on:

- Getting listed in “Best of [City]” directories
- Sponsoring local events for free PR links
- Partnering with local bloggers & influencers
- Joining the Chamber of Commerce
- High quality guest posts and link insertions.

Local businesses win with local links.

6. Track every single lead.

Local SEO isn’t just about rankings.

It’s about booked calls & foot traffic.

Set up:

- Call tracking (separate # for Google Business)

- Google Analytics (to see traffic sources)

GMB Insights (see how customers find me)

If it’s not tracked, it doesn’t count.

7. Get 50+ Google reviews in 90 days.

Reviews aren’t just social proof - they push rankings.

I’d make it stupid easy for customers to leave a review:

- QR code on invoices
- Simple SMS follow-ups

- “Hey, we’d love your feedback!” (with a direct link)
