Guardian Solutions provides local SEO and custom website SEO for businesses in Albany, New York. Our published local plan handles Google Business Profile and directory work for one location. If you also need service pages improved or technical problems addressed, we can discuss those website requirements alongside it.
We work nationally from Colorado Springs, with consultations over Zoom. Start with a free website and SEO audit and 30-minute consultation. The review helps identify priorities without a purchase obligation; implementation is a separate agreement.
Know which online presence Guardian will manage
The local SEO plan costs $495 per month for one location, with no long-term commitment. It includes research for 10 local keywords, Google Business Profile optimization, review tools and monitoring, review responses, weekly Google posts, a Q&A strategy, directory syndication and monthly heatmap ranking reports.
Google Business Profile management and directory syndication are named parts of that offer. If your requirements also include Apple Maps or Bing Places, ask for those platforms to be addressed explicitly before commissioning work. Directory syndication should not be read as a promise of separately managed campaigns on every map platform.
Assign the website work as well as the profile work
Profile management does not answer every question a prospective customer takes to your website. If a service is mentioned but never explained, the missing work may be a better service page. If a useful page is difficult to reach, the requirement may involve navigation, internal links or technical investigation.
Guardian’s custom SEO service can address service content, page titles and structure, internal links and technical improvements. We review your services, customers, site and available search data to decide which pages and tasks belong in the proposal.
If you retain your current website team, agree which changes they will implement and which Guardian will handle. Website repairs, additional locations and expanded service-area content require agreed scope beyond the published local plan.
Bring the profile and the website to the discussion
Send the website, Google profile link if available, and the services you want people to find. Mention any other map platforms you need help with and any website work already assigned to another provider. That gives the consultation a concrete starting point: which presence needs managing, which pages need changes and who will complete them.
Questions about Albany local SEO scope
Does Guardian’s local plan include website changes?
The published plan specifies Google Business Profile and recurring local-presence work. Website repairs and expanded service content require an agreed scope. Custom SEO can include page improvements, technical work and internal links, with responsibilities set out in the proposal.
What does research for 10 local keywords include?
It is keyword research for the one-location local plan, not an allowance for writing or optimizing 10 website pages. The website content and technical changes you want completed should be identified separately.
Can Guardian work alongside our website provider?
Yes. Tell us what your provider already handles. The engagement can define Guardian’s profile and SEO responsibilities, the website changes your provider will make, and how completed changes will be checked.
