SEO services for small businesses
Get what an SEO company delivers — Google Business Profile optimization, local rankings, reviews, citations, and AI search visibility — and run it yourself for a flat monthly subscription. Start with a free audit to see exactly where you stand.
What’s included
Optimize and sync your profile, then track your local 3-pack rank for the searches that bring customers.
Request reviews after every visit, reply with AI-assisted drafts, and route private feedback before it goes public.
Sync your name, address, and phone across Apple, Bing, Yelp, and Foursquare so inconsistencies stop capping your rank.
Publish posts and local pages that match what nearby customers search — without another marketing login.
See whether Google's AI Overviews cite you or a competitor, and close the gap.
A weekly Growth Score, rank tracking on a real map grid, and a monthly audit so the work is visible and repeatable.
Software vs. agency
An SEO agency charges $1,000–$3,000/mo to do repeatable work and report back in a monthly deck. Aaptly gives you the tooling to run that work yourself — with a live Growth Score instead of a slide — for a flat subscription. Keep the agency if you want it hands-off; most local businesses don’t need to.
Flat monthly subscription — no retainer, no per-result fees, cancel anytime.
A live Growth Score and rank tracking, not a monthly PDF.

FAQ
SEO services are the ongoing work that helps your business get found on Google: optimizing your Google Business Profile, building and fixing citations, growing reviews, publishing local content, and tracking your rankings. Traditionally an SEO agency or company does this for a monthly retainer. Aaptly packages the same work as software you run yourself for a flat subscription.
SEO agencies typically charge $1,000–$3,000/mo for a small business, plus setup. Software-based SEO runs far less — Aaptly starts free for the audit and from $99/mo to act on it, with no per-booking or per-result fees. See our guide on how much SEO costs for the full breakdown.
If you want hands-off and have the budget, an agency can work. But most of what an agency does for a local business is repeatable work that software can run — profile optimization, citations, reviews, posts, and rank tracking. Aaptly is built so an owner can run agency-grade local SEO themselves. Start with the free audit to see where you stand.
An agency charges a retainer to do the work and reports back monthly. Aaptly gives you the tooling to do it yourself (or with one team member), shows you a live Growth Score instead of a slide deck, and ties every fix to the action that closes it — for a flat, owner-controlled subscription.
Profile and content improvements can surface within weeks; rankings and review velocity compound over months. The advantage of running it on software is that the work is continuous and measurable rather than a one-time project.
