The skill runs the local visibility loop for a service business end to end: complete the Google Business Profile, lock NAP consistency everywhere, build the citation base, mark the site up with LocalBusiness schema, and keep the review engine turning.

  1. Works through the GBP completion checklist: real business name with no keyword stuffing, the most specific primary category plus secondary categories, a 750 character description, defined service area, current hours, at least 10 photos, weekly posts and seeded Q&A.
  2. Audits NAP (Name, Address, Phone) so the exact same string appears in the site footer, contact page, LocalBusiness JSON-LD, GBP and every directory; even 'Cd.' versus 'Cadde' or an old phone number left in one directory counts as an inconsistency.
  3. Registers the business across the priority directory stack for the Turkish market: Google Business Profile, Bing Places, Apple Maps, Yandex Business, Foursquare, Yelp, Facebook and Instagram business profiles plus sector directories.
  4. Implements LocalBusiness JSON-LD with address, geo coordinates, telephone, opening hours and aggregate rating, then validates it in Google's Rich Results Test.
  5. Sets the review cadence: organic review requests only (purchased reviews are banned), 2 to 3 new reviews per month as the healthy rhythm, and every review answered within 24 hours, negatives included.
  6. Verifies the outcome: local pack position tracked for 'service plus city' queries, and monthly GBP insights (views, calls, direction requests) exported into the client report.

Questions · still in the air

Catch what's on your mind.

the air is clear. nothing between you and the forge.
catch a spark: the forge will answer

  1. I run a service-area business with no storefront. Does this still apply?

    Yes. The playbook covers both storefront and service-area setups, including configuring the Google Business Profile around an area instead of a walk-in address. NAP consistency, citations, and the review strategy work the same either way.

  2. What actually moves local-pack rankings here?

    The trust signals Google weighs for local results: a fully completed Business Profile, name-address-phone consistency across Google, Bing, Apple and the directories, LocalBusiness JSON-LD on the site, and a steady review flow, which acts as both social proof and a ranking input.

  3. Will this run local ads or guarantee a 3-pack spot?

    No. It is the organic local foundation, not paid local campaigns, and no method can guarantee a 3-pack position. If you need the deeper hands-on citation and GBP execution layer, that is what the local-seo-citation package covers.

  4. How is it delivered?

    By email right after purchase: ready to run, downloaded instantly, no setup wait.

  5. One-time or subscription?

    A one-time purchase; no subscription or hidden fees. VAT (20%) is included.

  6. Can I get a refund?

    As a digital product, it can’t be refunded once downloaded. That’s why we show exactly what’s inside and who it’s for, right here.
