How long does SEO take to work for a local business?
Most businesses start seeing ranking movement within 3 months and meaningful lead growth within 4–6 months, depending on how competitive your market is. SEO is a long-term asset, the results compound and keep paying off.
What types of businesses do you work with?
Local service businesses and small-to-midsize businesses — home services, contractors, auto, health and wellness, restaurants, retail, real estate, and more. If your customers find you on Google, we can help.
Do you only work with businesses in McAllen, Texas?
No. We’re based in McAllen, Texas, and work with local businesses across the United States. Local SEO is about your market, not ours.
How is Smart Lion different from other marketing agencies?
We focus on customers, not clicks. Our strategies are measured by calls, qualified leads, and booked jobs, not vanity traffic and you work directly with the owner.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. We earn your business every month with results and transparent reporting.
Brian took us from invisible to ranking for personal injury searches that brought in real cases. I'd recommend him to any law firm wanting more Google visibility.
