Dominate "Near-Me" Searches with Local Fortress
When Orange County homeowners search for contractors, 76% of local searches result in store visits within 24 hours. Yet most contractor websites are invisible in local search results. Local Fortress™ ensures your business appears first when customers need you most—capturing calls while competitors remain hidden.
The Local SEO Challenges AI Just Made Worse
Map Pack Real Estate Shrinks as AI Boxes Expand
Google's AI Overviews now push Map Pack results further down the page on mobile devices. Only the top 3 local results get significant click-through traffic, making Map Pack dominance more critical than ever. Local Fortress™ implements the technical optimizations needed to crack the top 3.
Review Recency Now Outweighs Review Count
Google's 2025 algorithm update prioritized fresh reviews over total review volume. A contractor with 200 old reviews now loses to competitors with 50 recent reviews. Review velocity—not review quantity—determines local search rankings. Local Fortress™ automates the review generation process to maintain consistent momentum.
