Is the website really free? Yes. We build your custom website at no upfront cost when you start our $500/month local SEO plan. No build invoice, no deposit — the site is included. As a Melrose business, we're building long-term relationships with our neighbors, not selling one-time projects, which is also why there's no long-term contract. Are you actually based in Melrose? Yes — Melrose is our home base. Our co-founder Calvin Zimmerman lives and works here, about seven miles north of downtown Boston. We're a real Melrose business, not an out-of-state agency targeting the city as a keyword. What does it cost in total? $0 upfront for the website, then $500/month for SEO — month-to-month, no contract. A fraction of what most Boston-area agencies charge, with the same quality. How competitive is SEO for service companies in Melrose? This is one of the most winnable local markets around. Melrose is a smaller, focused city without the agency saturation of Boston, and Google rewards genuine local relevance — which a Melrose-based business doing Melrose SEO has in spades. A properly optimized service company can realistically own the Melrose Map Pack. Can you get my Melrose business into the Google Map Pack? Yes — Map Pack optimization is core to the monthly SEO plan. We optimize your Google Business Profile, build local citations, manage reviews, and keep your business data consistent across the web. In a market like Melrose, the Map Pack is where most local leads come from.
