FAQ ## Questions from Cottage Grove owners ### What does an SEO company in Cottage Grove actually do? It improves how Google ranks and shows your business: map pack, reviews, service pages and technical health. LLMReach also works on AI answers. See our [SEO services](https://www.llmreach.ai/seo-services) for the full scope. ### How do I show up in the map pack? Start with a complete, accurate Google Business Profile, steady reviews and consistent details across the web. Our [Google Business Profile](https://www.llmreach.ai/seo-services/google-business-profile) work covers it. In our test, 11 of 12 searches showed a map pack. ### Do I need local SEO if I already have a website? Yes. A site alone rarely wins the map pack. [Local SEO](https://www.llmreach.ai/seo-services/local-seo) ties your profile, reviews and location pages together so Google trusts you for nearby searches. ### Why do directories like Yelp rank above local businesses? Google often favors review and directory sites for broad searches. In our test, Yelp appeared in 8 of 12 searches. You can still earn the map pack and a strong profile on those sites. ### Is SEO or GEO more important now? Both matter. Google still drives most local discovery, and AI assistants add a second route. Read [GEO vs SEO](https://www.llmreach.ai/guides/geo-vs-seo) to see how the two work together. ### How much does an SEO company in Cottage Grove cost? It depends on your scope, your competition and what needs fixing. We do not quote a flat figure. The free [SEO audit](https://www.llmreach.ai/seo-services/seo-audit) gives you a plan so you can decide. ### What results can I expect from LLMReach? We never promise rankings or traffic. We do guarantee at least 30% more total AI citations within 90 days against your own baseline, or we keep working at no charge.
