Why your rank changes from street to street

Google ranks local results by relevance, distance and prominence. Because distance counts, you can be first on your own block and missing a mile away. Your free report checks one search at 49 points around you. Widen the reach to see what changes.

Customers check you out before they call

Reviews, your Google profile and now AI answers decide who gets the call, and most local businesses aren’t keeping up.

What we do

Everything that decides whether a local customer finds you, picks you and calls: your Google profile, your rankings, your website, your reviews and your ads. One team, one plan.

What’s in your free report

Plain findings, not a sales pitch. Each one says what we found, why it’s costing you calls and what we’d do about it.

Nothing is held back for a call. If you’d rather fix it yourself, the report tells you how. Google Business Profile is free, and so is this.

Concept case study

Case study: Brennan & Sons Plumbing

A two-van plumbing company that wants more drain and water-heater work across the east side.

  • The business

    A father-and-son plumbing business with two vans, good reviews and a website built a decade ago. Most work comes from referrals.

  • The problem

    The business appears in the map results near the shop and almost nowhere else, and the old site doesn’t work on a phone.

  • The plan

    Rebuild the profile around the jobs they want, add a page for each service and neighborhood, and make calling the first thing every page offers.

What we did, step by step

  1. Week 1

    A free Maps report

    For “emergency plumber”, the map showed them in the top 3 near the shop and past 20th two miles east. The profile had one category and no services.

  2. Week 1

    The profile, rebuilt

    Primary category set to Plumber, every drain and water-heater service listed, the home address hidden, the east-side service area drawn in and real job photos added.

  3. Weeks 2 to 4

    A page for every job

    New pages for drain cleaning, water heater repair and each east-side neighborhood, every one with click-to-call and a two-step quote form.

  4. Week 3

    Reviews from every job

    A neutral text after each job asks for a Google review. Replies are drafted in the owners’ voice and go out only once they approve them.

  5. Every month

    Measure, then adjust

    A new 49-point map, calls tracked by source, and a call with the owners to choose the next month’s work.

Results

We publish results only when they’ve been measured and the client agrees. This is a concept for an invented business, so it has none. A real one would start with a free Maps report.

Customers now ask AI who to call

ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews now recommend local businesses by name. They draw on the same sources Google does: your website, your Google profile, your reviews and your listings. Business websites were 42% of the sources AI cited in BrightLocal’s 2026 study.

AI answers also shift: repeat runs of the same question shared only 20% to 33% of the businesses they named. So we measure how often you’re named across repeated runs, fix the sources AI reads, and never sell you a “#1 on ChatGPT”.

“Which plumber should I call for a burst pipe?”

Example Plumbing Co., a made-up business. 10 runs on each.

Ask a question

How do I get my business on top of Google Maps?

Google ranks local results by relevance, distance and prominence. You can’t move your address, so the work is the other two: the right primary category, a complete profile, a page on your website for each service, consistent listings and a steady flow of genuine reviews. Nobody can promise the top spot, so we show you where you stand on a 49-point map every month.

Why is my business not showing up on Google Maps?

Search your business name and city first. If you don’t appear, the profile itself may be unverified, suspended or merged, and that’s a fix. If you appear for your name but not for searches like “plumber”, it’s a ranking problem, which local SEO addresses. Your free Maps report tells you which one you have.

How much does local SEO cost per month?

We quote each business in writing after the free report, because a one-location cleaner and a roofer covering six towns need different work. You see exactly what’s included and the monthly price before anything starts, and you can cancel any time.

How long does local SEO take to work?

Profile fixes can show within weeks. Rankings across a wider area usually take months and depend on your competitors, so we won’t give you a date we can’t control. You get a new 49-point map every month, so you can judge the progress yourself.

Do I need a website if I have a Google Business Profile?

Usually, yes. Your profile wins searches close to you. A website with a page for each service helps you rank farther out, answers questions before people call and gives AI tools something to cite: business websites were 42% of AI citations in BrightLocal’s 2026 local AI study.

Is Google Business Profile free?

Yes. Google Business Profile is free from Google. When an agency manages it for you, the fee is for their work, not the profile, and Google requires agencies to tell you that in writing. Your free report includes 3 fixes you can make yourself.

Can anyone guarantee first place on Google Maps?

No. Google says no one can guarantee a #1 ranking, and its rules for agencies ban promising top placement. What we promise is the work in your plan, a monthly map that shows what changed and an easy exit if it isn’t working for you.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No long-term contract. Our plans run month to month and you can cancel any time. You stay the owner of your Google Business Profile, domain, website and ad accounts, and if you leave, you get exclusive control back within 7 business days.

Are you part of Google?

No. PinGravity is an independent agency, not affiliated with or endorsed by Google. Google Business Profile is free from Google, and our fee is for our work.

I run an agency. Can I resell your work?

Yes. Agencies can resell our local SEO and Google Business Profile work under their own brand, and send us client suspensions and verification problems. We also consult for agency owners. Partner terms are sent on application.
