The Local Authority System: become the go‑to business in your area
Your website, review management and Google Business Profile, built and run together by one team for one monthly price.
Google ranks local businesses on how relevant they are, how close they are to the searcher, and how prominent they are in the community. You can’t move your shop, but you can control almost everything else. The Local Authority System works every signal at once: a website built to convert, a steady stream of fresh reviews, and a profile that’s managed every week. Then it shows you the ranking change street by street.

What “local authority” means
The five signals behind every map-pack ranking
Industry ranking-factor surveys consistently point to the same handful of signals. Local Authority covers all five, weighted by how much they move results.
Reviews
A steady pace of fresh, detailed reviews with keyword-rich owner replies.
On-site signals
Service-area pages, local schema and a site that loads fast on a phone.
Local links
Mentions from chambers, sponsors, suppliers and neighbourhood news.
Citations
Your name, address and phone matching everywhere across the web.
Rankings you can see
Your ranking changes block by block. We measure it that way.
A single “we rank #2” number hides the truth. A customer two miles north may see you first while one across town never sees you at all. We check your position from a grid of points across your service area every week, so you can watch the green spread.
Positions 1–3
Positions 4–10

Questions
Local Authority FAQ
Can you guarantee a #1 ranking?
No honest provider can, because search engines control the results. What we commit to is the work: every deliverable, every week, and a ranking grid that shows exactly what moved. Most clients see meaningful map-pack gains within 90 days.
I serve customers at their location. Does that matter?
Yes, and it’s where Local Authority helps most. Service-area businesses can hide their address and still rank, but they rely more heavily on reviews, service-area pages and local mentions to show up in towns beyond their base.
Do you need access to my website?
For on-site work, yes. We can work in WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix and most custom sites, or hand finished pages to your web developer.
What’s included in the bundle?
Three services that normally sell separately: a custom 20-page website (our Standard plan), review management on our Growth plan, and full Google Business Profile management. On top of that, you get the local SEO work: ranking grids, citations, new local pages and link outreach. Bought separately, the three services alone come to $1,097 a month.
Can I avoid the setup fee?
Yes. The one-time $1,399 setup covers your website build and profile onboarding. It’s waived completely when you pay quarterly, every 6 months or yearly.
