Eight services. Three outcomes: rankings, AI Map results, conversions.
Every service we run ladders into one of three outcomes — your Google Map 3-Pack ranking, your visibility inside Ask Maps and Gemini-powered Map results, or your conversion rate from Maps (calls, directions, clicks, bookings). Each section below shows the work itself, the outcome it moves, and what's included at the Foundation vs Pro tiers.

- Primary + secondary category selection
- Attributes: services, products, accessibility
- 30+ Q&A seeded; hours + holiday hours
- Service-area radius defined
- Geo- and schema-tagged photo library
Why it moves the 3-Pack
GBP is the data structure Google reads to decide who is relevant for a Map query. A fully populated profile beats a sparse one — measurably. Most accounts arrive ~40% complete on the signals Google cares about.
Tier coverage
- FoundationFull one-time optimization at kickoff + category/attribute audit
- ProEverything in Foundation, kept current with weekly posts/photos
- CustomPer-location optimization across every profile
Citation Building Across 50+ Directories
Consistent NAP across the directories and aggregators Google trusts.
What we do

- Industry directories (Angi, HomeAdvisor, Healthgrades, Avvo, etc.)
- Data aggregators (Data Axle, Foursquare, Localeze)
- NAP consistency sweep across aggregators
- Monthly citation audit
Why it moves the 3-Pack
Citation consistency restores Google's trust signal. One mismatched NAP across 50 directories drops local-pack authority across the board.
Tier coverage
- Foundation5 core citations submitted/verified per month
- Pro50+ directories, full coverage, audited monthly
- CustomPer-location citation coverage + white-label audits

What we do
- SMS + email request sequences triggered post-service
- Response templates by sentiment, human-reviewed
- Negative-review escalation workflow
- Weekly velocity targets tracked
- Within-24h response management (Pro)
Why it moves the 3-Pack
Review velocity — not just count — is one of the highest-correlation Map Pack ranking signals. Pro clients average a 4–8x velocity lift.
Tier coverage
- FoundationReview-request email template + setup
- ProFull automated acquisition campaign + response management
- CustomPer-location campaigns + CRM integration
Grid-Style Map Pack Rank Tracking
Local Falcon grid scans — the proof and the diagnostic.
What we do
- Local Falcon campaign set up at kickoff
- Weekly scans on the agreed grid
- Top-3 %, Top-10 %, avg rank, heat-map
- Competitor share-of-voice tracked alongside
- Monthly trend reports
Why it moves the 3-Pack
The grid is both the proof and the diagnostic — it shows where coverage holes are so we can target them next. Standard single-position rank checks hide this entirely.
Tier coverage
- FoundationMonthly grid scan, 1 keyword
- ProWeekly grid scans, 3 keywords
- CustomPer-location grids, custom keyword counts
Geo-Tagged GBP Posts & Photos
Freshness and locality signals, refreshed weekly.
What we do
- Weekly post calendar (offers / events / products / updates)
- Geo-tagged image uploads
- Schema-tagged where applicable
- Mix tuned to your category
Why it moves the 3-Pack
Posts and photos refresh the freshness signal Google scores on; geo-tagging strengthens locality. Run weekly, they have a measurable rank-lift effect.
Tier coverage
- FoundationNot included (manual guidance only)
- ProWeekly geo-tagged posts & photos
- CustomPer-location post calendars
Competitor Share-of-Local-Voice Analysis
Know exactly what beats them — faster than generic optimization.
What we do
- Top-3 competitor identification by keyword and grid cell
- Citation count vs yours
- Review velocity vs yours
- Post cadence vs yours
- Targeted gap recommendations
Why it moves the 3-Pack
Knowing what specifically beats your competitors is faster than generic optimization — we target the exact gaps.

- CustomPer-market competitive intelligence
Local Link Building
Locally-relevant inbound links — a separate trust signal from citations.
What we do
- Chamber of commerce listings
- Local press and community sponsorships
- Supplier / partner link exchanges
- Geo-relevant industry directories
Why it moves the 3-Pack
Locally-relevant inbound links are a separate trust signal from citations and reinforce local-pack ranking authority.
Tier coverage
- FoundationNot included
- Pro1–2 local link placements per month
- CustomScaled placements per market
Ask Maps & Gemini AI Map Result Optimization
The parallel performance layer most local-SEO agencies aren't touching.
What we do
- Q&A schema seeded on GBP and the website
- Conversational "intents" mapped to your services
- Entity-relationship structuring (services × locations × attributes × reviews)
- AI-readable photos with descriptive captions and alt text
- Content rewrites for natural-language match
- Ask Maps query tracking where measurable
Why it moves the 3-Pack
Ask Maps composes its answers from structured GBP signals, reviews, and entity-clear service descriptions. Businesses optimized for the 3-Pack but not for Ask Maps are invisible to the fastest-growing Maps surface — the under-developed layer most local-SEO agencies aren't touching.
Tier coverage
- FoundationAsk Maps Q&A schema seeded on GBP only
- ProFull intent mapping, entity structuring, content rewrites, and query tracking
- CustomPer-location entity graphs + white-label Ask Maps reporting

The services, answered.
What is Ask Maps and why does it matter for my business?
Ask Maps is Google's natural-language search inside Google Maps, powered by Gemini. Instead of typing "AC repair," people now ask Maps full questions like "find an HVAC company open right now near me with great reviews," and Maps composes an AI answer that recommends a business. It matters because that answer often skips the classic 3-Pack entirely — so a business optimized only for ranking can be invisible to it. Our eighth service, Ask Maps & Gemini AI Map Result Optimization, makes sure you show up on both surfaces.
How is Ask Maps different from the classic Google Map 3-Pack?
The 3-Pack is a ranked list Google assembles from relevance, distance, and prominence. Ask Maps is an AI-composed answer to a multi-criteria question — it weighs structured Q&A, complete attributes, fresh reviews with rich language, entity-clear service descriptions, and geo-tagged photos. You can rank in the 3-Pack and still lose Ask Maps if your profile isn't structured for AI to compose you into an answer. That's why we treat Ask Maps as a parallel performance layer, not an afterthought.
Which services are included at the Foundation tier versus Pro?
Foundation covers the one-time essentials for solo operators: full GBP optimization at kickoff, a category and attribute audit, Ask Maps Q&A schema seeded on your profile, 5 core citations per month, a monthly grid scan on one keyword, and a review-request email template. Pro adds the parts that compound and carry the guarantee: 50+ audited citations, weekly grid scans on 3 keywords, automated review acquisition, weekly posts and photos, competitor reports, local link building, and full Ask Maps optimization. Posts, competitor analysis, and local links are Pro-and-up.
Do I have to buy each service separately?
No. These eight services are not à-la-carte add-ons — they're the work that runs inside a single monthly plan. Foundation and Pro each bundle a defined set of them, and Custom scopes them per location. You pick a plan; we run the services that plan includes. The breakdown above just shows you what's happening under the hood.
Why is review velocity weighted more than the total number of reviews?
Total review count tells Google you have been around; review velocity — how steadily new reviews arrive — tells Google you are active and trusted right now. Velocity is one of the highest-correlation Map Pack ranking signals, which is why our Review Acquisition & Response Strategy targets a weekly cadence rather than a one-time push. Pro clients average a 4–8x velocity lift over where they started.
What is Local Falcon grid tracking and why does it matter?
Local Falcon is a grid-based rank tracker. Instead of checking your rank from a single location, it checks from a grid of simulated points across your service area and produces a heat-map showing exactly where you win and lose. It is both the proof that the work is moving your rankings and the diagnostic that tells us which neighborhoods still have coverage holes — so the next month of work is targeted, not guessed.
Does the website work come with these services?
No — website rebuilds are ResultsXL, our sibling brand. The services on this page focus on Google Maps and your Google Business Profile. If you need both, we bundle: combining MapBoostXL with ResultsXL or BoostXL earns at least 15% off across both brands, or full XLMA stack pricing across all three.
Which services carry the 90-day guarantee?
The guarantee is tied to the Pro plan, not to any single service. When you run the full Pro stack — GBP, 50+ citations, automated reviews, weekly grid tracking, posts, competitor analysis, local links, and Ask Maps optimization — and your business is still not in the Map 3-Pack on a tracked keyword at day 90, you get every dollar of MapBoostXL fees back. Start at Pro to activate it.

Eight services, one focus: your Map Pack.
Every service ladders into one of three outcomes — Map rankings, Ask Maps & Gemini AI results, or conversions. Nothing is busywork.
Salons, dentists, roofers, restaurants, law firms — if Maps is where your customers look, this is the stack that gets you found.
