What's included, and what isn't
Here is every piece of work Local Booster covers, what it means in plain terms and how much of it you get on each plan. Further down you'll find what we don't do and what we'll need from you.
In short
- Every plan covers one location on all five platforms: Google Maps, Apple Maps, Bing Maps, ChatGPT and Gemini.
- Higher plans add more keywords, more brand mentions, closer tracking, a review generator and website work.
- We do the work. You approve your keywords and business details, and keep ownership of everything.
Maps profiles
Your profiles on Google, Apple and Bing are what people see before they decide to visit. They are also the strongest single signal for where you rank.
Google Business Profile optimization
We choose the right primary and secondary categories, fill in services, products and attributes, write your description, set hours (including holidays), add photos and keep everything accurate. If your profile isn't claimed or verified yet, we guide you through it.

- ProIncluded
- ExtendedIncluded
Apple Business Connect and Bing Places
We claim or set up your place card on Apple Maps and your listing on Bing Places, complete them and keep them in sync with Google. That's how you show up for Siri, iPhone, CarPlay, Bing and Copilot users.
- BaseIncluded
- ProIncluded
- ExtendedIncluded
Google posts and photos
Short updates on your Google profile about offers, events, services and news. Regular posts show Google the business is active and give searchers a reason to choose you. On Pro and Extended we also add fresh photos.
- Base4 posts a month
- Pro8 posts, with new photos
- Extended12 posts, with new photos
Profile watch
Anyone can suggest edits to a Google profile, and competitors sometimes do. We watch for unwanted changes to your hours, phone, address or categories, reverse them, and report spam listings that crowd you out.

Listings and brand mentions
Maps apps and AI assistants trust businesses that are mentioned consistently across the web. A brand mention is your business name, address and phone number listed on a directory, industry site or local site.
Listing cleanup and data aggregators
In the first month we correct your details on the 15 listings that matter most and remove duplicates. We also submit your details to the main data aggregators, the companies that feed business information to hundreds of apps and directories.

New brand mentions every month
We submit your business to new, relevant sites every month. Each site publishes on its own schedule, so some go live within days and others take weeks. Your report lists every submission and its status.
- Base20 a month on directories and local listings
- Pro40 a month, adding niche and industry sites AI tools cite
- Extended80 a month, adding local news, blogs and community sites
Keywords and tracking
Keywords tracked and optimized
The searches you want to be found for, like "emergency dentist" or "pizza near me". We agree on them with you in week one, work them into your profiles and website answers, and track them on every platform. You can swap keywords any month.
- Base10 keywords
- Pro25 keywords
- Extended50 keywords
Map grid tracking
Your map ranking changes from street to street. A map grid checks your position at dozens of points around your location, so you can see the area where you rank well and watch it grow.
- Base7×7 for 3 keywords, monthly
- Pro9×9 for 10 keywords, weekly
- Extended13×13 for 20 keywords, weekly
Competitor tracking
We track the businesses you compete with most: their rankings, reviews and profile changes, so we can see what's working for them and respond.
- BaseNot included
- Pro3 competitors
- Extended5 competitors
Reviews
Review replies, link and QR code
We reply to every new Google review in your voice, positive or negative, usually within two business days. You also get a short review link and a printable QR code to share with customers.
- BaseIncluded
- ProIncluded
- ExtendedIncluded
Review generator
Automatic review requests sent to your recent customers by text and email, with a gentle reminder for those who don't respond. Extended adds in-store QR cards for your counter or tables. We ask every customer, never only the happy ones, and we never offer rewards for reviews.
- BaseNot included
- ProRequests by text and email
- ExtendedPlus in-store QR cards and follow-up reminders
ChatGPT, Gemini and your website
AI visibility checks
Every month we ask ChatGPT and Gemini the questions your customers ask, such as "best family dentist in Winter Park", and record whether you're recommended, how you're described and which sources they cite.
- Base10 questions a month
- Pro25 questions a month
- Extended50 questions a month
FAQ, schema and local service pages
AI tools and maps read your website. On Pro we add clear answers to common questions and schema markup, the hidden labels that tell search engines your hours, services and location. Extended adds one new local service page a month.
- BaseNot included
- ProFAQ and schema updates
- ExtendedPlus 1 local service page a month
Reporting and support
Monthly report
A plain-language report you can read in five minutes: your map grid, keyword positions, AI mentions, new reviews, brand mentions submitted and live, plus calls, direction requests and website clicks from your Google profile.
- BaseMonthly report
- ProMonthly report
- ExtendedPlus a strategist call every two weeks
What's not included
Local Booster is focused on one job: more people finding and visiting your location. Some related work sits outside it, and a few things we won't do on any plan.
Available separately
- Website design or a rebuildAsk us for a quote. Website hosting is its own Just Web Agency™ plan.
- Paid adsGoogle Ads, Local Services Ads and Meta ads are separate services.
- More than one locationEach location needs its own plan, with a discount from the second.
- Extra keywords or brand mentionsAdd-on packs: +10 keywords for $49 or +20 brand mentions for $79 a month.
- Professional photographyWe use the photos you send. We can recommend a local photographer.
Not offered on any plan
- Fake, paid or incentivized reviewsThey break Google's rules and can get your profile suspended.
- Removing genuine negative reviewsWe reply to them well, and report only reviews that break the platform's policy.
- A guaranteed number one spotDistance from the searcher always plays a part, so no one can promise it honestly.
- Control over what AI tools sayWe improve the sources they read and track the results.
- Social media managementGoogle posts are included. Instagram, Facebook and TikTok posting are not.
- Spammy link schemes or fake addressesThey put your listing at risk, so we don't use them.
What we need from you
Most of the work happens without you. In the first week we'll ask for a few things, and after that only for quick approvals.
- Access to your profiles. Manager access to your Google Business Profile, and to Apple Business Connect and Bing Places if you already have them. If not, we'll set them up with you.
- Your correct details. Business name, address, phone, hours, services and the areas you serve, exactly as you want them shown.
- Photos. Your storefront, inside, team and work. Phone photos are fine.
- Keyword approval. A quick look at the keyword list we suggest in week one.
- Customer contacts for the review generator (Pro and Extended). An export or connection from your booking or point-of-sale system, so requests go to real recent customers.
- Website access (Pro and Extended). A login for your site, or an introduction to the person who manages it.
