Service-Area Business SEO for New Hampshire Contractors & Small Business
Why Service-Area Businesses Need a Different SEO Playbook
Google treats plumbers, electricians, landscapers, and other service-area businesses (SABs) differently from brick-and-mortar shops. Hiding your address, covering multiple towns, and working from a home office create ranking hurdles—unless you optimize the right signals. Our SAB SEO framework fixes the weak spots and amplifies locality cues so you dominate searches across your entire radius.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rank without showing my home address?
Yes. We hide your address per Google guidelines and still target every town in your service area.
How wide a radius can I rank in?
Up to 20–30 miles is realistic with proper optimization; beyond that we deploy satellite landing pages and link-building.
How long until I see Map-Pack movement?
Quick-win tweaks can move the needle in 4-6 weeks; full-radius dominance depends on your vertical and competition.
Do P.O. boxes or UPS stores work?
No. Google suspends listings that use virtual or mailbox addresses. We’ll keep you compliant—and ranking.
Is ongoing work required?
Foundational fixes are one-off, but continuous posts, reviews, and local links keep you ahead of new competitors. We offer both options.
