What is Local Search Autopilot?
A monthly plan that does your local search work for you. Each month we fix your Maps listing, mine Search Console for keywords, write and publish your posts and create additional website content. The goal is to help you show up on Google Maps, in Google search and in AI answers.
Do you work on Google Maps?
Yes. Google Maps is where many local customers find a business. Your Maps listing is the same thing Google calls your Business Profile. We keep it accurate and active with monthly posts and checks.
What do I get each month?
A fully fixed Maps listing, then monthly care with Google Maps posts we write and publish on every plan, ongoing Search Console keyword mining, a plain-English report, and site content on Growth plans. Content comes as kits your team posts, or pages we publish for you, depending on your plan.
Do you need access to my website?
Only on the Growth, we publish plan (starts at $299 per location, per month). The Growth, content kits plan (starts at $249 per location, per month) gives you content kits that your team publishes on your site. Starter includes no website content, so there is nothing to publish on your site. We publish your Google Maps posts on every plan. If you are on the publish plan, after you sign up we send you a short guide with exactly who to invite as an editor through your platform, and we never need a password.
What access do you need to Google?
Search Console access (Full user) and Manager access on your Google Maps listing. After you sign up, we send you a short guide with exactly who to add in both places, and the same address covers anything else we ask for later. We never ask for your password.
