# Local SEO for your website and business information

Understand local website improvements and Google Business Profile work. Review eligibility, service coverage, cost factors and the information needed to start.

## Do you need local SEO, Google Business Profile optimization or both?

Local SEO improves the information customers use to find and choose a nearby service. Work may cover your website, an eligible Google Business Profile or both. Confirm your actual service area and how customers meet you, then identify which pages or profile details need updating.

## Questions and answers

### Can an online-only business have a Google Business Profile?

No. Google lists online-only businesses as ineligible for a Business Profile. Before requesting profile work, confirm whether your business meets Google's in-person customer-contact requirements and any applicable exceptions.

### Do I need a page for every city I serve?

No. Create a city page when you can explain confirmed coverage and useful details that differ for customers there. A location name alone does not justify another page. Any local facts should have sources, dates and a clear connection to the service.

### Does local SEO guarantee a Maps position?

No. Google determines Maps results, which can vary with the searcher's location and other factors. The agreed work can improve website or profile information; completing those updates does not establish a particular position.
