If any of these thoughts have crossed your mind this week…

…you’re not alone. These are the exact problems we solve, every day.

I'm paying an SEO guy $1,500 a month and I can't tell what he actually does.
My competitor is everywhere on the first page and I have no idea how.
I rank for my own business name and literally nothing else.
I got a 40-page SEO report and I understood maybe three lines of it.
I have great reviews but I'm still buried under three chains in the map pack.
I paid for citations on 10 sites and nothing moved.

Five pillars of local seo that actually works.

Every Scion-managed engagement runs on the same five pillars. Missing any one of them is why most small-business SEO fails.

01

Citations

Clean NAP across 40+ directories. Duplicate cleanup, consistency enforcement, authoritative local listings.

02

Schema

LocalBusiness schema markup on every page. Structured data that tells search engines exactly what you do.

03

On-Page

Title tags, H1s, meta descriptions, and page copy tuned to the exact keywords your buyers search.

04

Authority

Editorial links from local publications, chambers, and niche authorities. Real signals, real impact.

05

Questions we get all the time.

Straight answers to the things that matter before you sign up.

How long until I actually rank?

Most clients see movement in the first 30 days — usually on the longer-tail local keywords. The bigger "money" terms (e.g. "plumber [city]") take 90 to 180 days of consistent work depending on competition. We do not guarantee specific positions because nobody honest can. What we guarantee is consistent, transparent execution and weekly reports that show you the needle moving.

Do you guarantee first-page rankings?

No, and neither should any agency. Anyone who promises guaranteed rankings is either lying to you or gaming Google in ways that will get your profile flagged. We guarantee the inputs: citations built, schema deployed, on-page optimized, links earned. The outputs depend on your market, competition, and Google’s algorithm.

Which keywords will you target?

We start with a 30-minute discovery call, pull your current rankings with Ahrefs, map your service areas, and build a keyword list of 25-40 terms ranked by commercial intent and realistic difficulty. You approve the final list before we lift a finger.

What’s different from the generic SEO agency I already tried?

Three things. One: we are local SEO specialists, not full-service agencies dabbling in SEO. Two: every report is in plain English with a narrative, not just charts. Three: we respond to texts within one business day and you deal with the same person every month.

Do I need to change my website?

Usually yes — but it’s included in our work, not a separate project. On-page optimization is part of Local SEO. If your site is severely broken we’ll flag it before we take you on, because there’s no point polishing a foundation that’s cracking.

What’s in the weekly reports?

Current rank on every tracked keyword, week-over-week delta, new citations built, new reviews captured, what we worked on last week, what’s queued for next week. No charts you have to decode.

What if I already have some SEO in place?

Great — we audit what’s there, keep what’s working, fix what’s broken, and fill the gaps. We do not make you start over.
