From $399 · one-time foundation setup

Search Visibility Foundation

Honest local SEO setup — no fake first-page promises.

Search engines can only recommend your business if the basics are correct. We set up the foundation the right way, once — then you (or a AD Web Design managed plan) keep it fed with real content over time. If anyone promises you a #1 ranking, walk away.

What's included

  • Google Business Profile claim, verify, and full completion
  • Consistent name, address, phone across your website and profile
  • Primary and secondary business categories set correctly
  • On-page SEO basics: titles, meta descriptions, headings, alt text
  • Structured data (LocalBusiness / Service / Organization schema)
  • XML sitemap and robots.txt configuration
  • Google Search Console setup and sitemap submission
  • Google Analytics 4 property with basic conversion events
  • Answer-readiness pass — clear FAQ blocks, plain-English service pages
  • Written baseline report of current visibility and next 90-day actions

Good fit if

  • Local businesses invisible on Google Maps
  • Businesses that never claimed their Google Business Profile
  • Sites launched without any SEO setup at all
  • Businesses that want to be found when customers search locally
  • Owners tired of being upsold vague, expensive 'SEO packages'

How it works

  1. 1.
    Discovery call

    We confirm your service area, top services, and what you actually want customers to find you for.

  2. 2.
    Foundation setup

    We complete the Google Business Profile, on-page work, structured data, and analytics — usually inside 7–10 business days.

  3. 3.
    Baseline report

    You get a PDF with what's now in place, what it currently ranks for, and honest next-90-day priorities.

  4. 4.
    Optional ongoing management

    Add a Growth or Authority plan to keep content, reviews, and posts moving — the part that actually moves rankings over time.

Not included

  • Guaranteed rankings, guaranteed traffic, or guaranteed leads — nobody honest sells these
  • Ongoing content writing, link building, or monthly reporting (available in managed plans)
  • Paid ads on Google, Meta, or elsewhere (separate service)

AD Web Design guarantees the work performed. We do not and cannot guarantee specific search ranking positions, traffic, or lead volumes.
