SEO services that get small businesses more calls from Google.

SEO with Verlua starts at $1,000/mo. We don't sell cheaper packages, because less than that doesn't pay for enough work to move rankings. What it takes depends on your industry and competition: most local businesses in competitive industries need about $1,500/mo to see real results. When the site needs rebuilding first, launch months run about $2,500/mo for the first 2 months, then step down. It's month to month with no minimum contract, and the exact scope is confirmed after a free audit.

Local SEO and Google Business Profile work shows movement in 4-8 weeks. Organic rankings for competitive non-branded keywords typically take 6-9 months when starting from a low-authority site. Sites with existing authority can see lift in 60-90 days. We send monthly reports so you can see rankings, traffic, and lead trends rather than guess.

If you serve customers in a defined geographic area (home services, healthcare, professional services, restaurants), local SEO is the priority — Google Business Profile, local citations, city pages, and review velocity. National or ecommerce brands need broader organic SEO: site architecture, topic clusters, technical performance, and link acquisition. Many businesses need both at different weightings.

Hire an agency when you need senior strategy plus production capacity (writers, technical SEOs, designers) but can't justify 3-5 full-time hires. Build in-house when SEO is core to your product (publishers, marketplaces) and you can afford a director plus a team. A common setup is a hybrid: an in-house marketing manager who owns brand and conversion, with Verlua running technical, content, and reporting.

We track four layers: rankings (positions for target keywords), traffic (organic sessions and impressions in Search Console), conversions (form fills, calls, bookings, revenue), and assisted revenue (deals that touched organic at some point in the funnel). Real ROI calculations need a baseline lead value and close rate from your CRM, which we set up in month one.

We build for it. Answer-first service pages, business schema, an llms.txt file, AI crawler access and consistent listings are what ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews draw on. No one can guarantee a mention, because AI answers change by platform, prompt and user. We report the AI referral traffic we can see.

Yes, for most service businesses. Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT search draw on the same indexed pages and business listings that search engines use, so the work that gets you found on Google is the work that gets you named in AI answers. What changed is how pages are written: a direct answer under each question heading, clear service and price details, and schema that tells machines what the business does.

Some of it, yes. You can fill out your Google Business Profile, ask every customer for a review and write a page for each service you offer. Where owners usually stall is time and the technical side: indexing problems, site speed, schema, call and form tracking, and publishing every month. That is the part an agency takes off your plate.

No. Anyone offering ranking guarantees is either gaming a low-volume keyword or about to violate Google's guidelines. What we commit to is a documented strategy, monthly execution, transparent reporting, and adjustments when something isn't working. If a tactic stops paying off, we drop it and try something else.
