Whack-A-Mole
Anyone can scope the perfect franchise program on a whiteboard. Then it meets real franchisees: rogue Facebook pages, duplicate listings, a “new” phone number and somebody’s nephew doing SEO. That’s when you need expert whack-a-molers. Hi, we’re the whack-a-molers.
First, a 2-week strategy project. Then we talk budget.
Before we pitch you a monthly retainer, we spend two weeks digging into your business, your site, your Google Business Profile, your competitors and how your customers actually search. You come out of it with a prioritized execution plan and a budget sized to what the work will really take.
Unlike a lot of agencies and consultants, we don’t hand you a cookie-cutter strategy that came straight out of Claude. Your plan is built around your business.
Ask about a strategy project →- 01Dig inSite, Business Profile, reviews, competitors and the searches that drive your calls.
- 02PrioritizeWhat to fix first, what can wait, and what isn’t worth doing at all.
- 03Plan + budgetAn execution plan and a budget that fits it. No guesswork retainer.
What franchise clients say
“The first thing his team did for us was give us a heap load of changes to make our pretty lame website stand out a lot better on SEO. … We finally stabilized and started to look really good on SEO against our competitors.”

Yeah, I’ve been working with Andrew at Local SEO Guide for years now. We were first referred to him through a friend, and the first thing his team did for us was give us a heap load of changes to make our pretty lame website stand out a lot better on SEO. After a few rounds of copy changes, page edits, and whatnot, we finally stabilized and started to look really good on SEO against our competitors based on a lot of monthly reporting from the LSG folks.
As for Andrew himself, I love working with him. Not only is he super knowledgeable about SEO and, you know, now AEO and GEO, he’s just always thinking of new ideas. Now, sometimes there’s strange ideas, but he’s always thinking of new ideas to help give us a boost in some way.
On top of all that, he’s just a super chill and funny guy that I got to know really well, and I look forward to our meetings every month. I highly recommend them as long as Andrew is at the helm. Give LSG a shot, and you won’t regret it.

Hello, this is Bob Sheehan from Growthline Marketing. We’ve been working with Andrew Shotland and Local SEO Guide for more than 15 years and I’m here to tell you that they’re the best. When you have an SEO problem and you want it to be better, there’s no one out there better than LSG.
When we have a client with a visibility problem, something where we can’t move the needle, we call LSG. When we have a sticky multi-location visibility situation, we call LSG. We’ve got a few of those happening right now and I know they’re going to get better.
I feel like LSG has a strong handle on what to do when things are not going right and you need a smart creative approach to fixing things. So I’m doing this video to strongly recommend Local SEO Guide to anyone considering them. I know you won’t be disappointed.
