FAQ

## SEO in Malden: common questions

### What does SEO Malden include?

It covers your Google Business Profile, reviews, service and location pages, and technical fixes. See our [SEO services](https://www.llmreach.ai/seo-services) for the full list. We also track whether AI assistants name you.

### How is Malden SEO different from general SEO?

Malden SEO is local. It focuses on the map pack, a complete profile, reviews from Malden customers and pages about the areas you serve. [Local SEO](https://www.llmreach.ai/seo-services/local-seo) is the core of it.

### Do I need a Google Business Profile?

Yes. In our check, 11 of 12 Malden searches showed a map. A complete, active profile is how you appear there. We handle [Google Business Profile](https://www.llmreach.ai/seo-services/google-business-profile) setup and upkeep.

### Why do directories outrank local businesses?

Yelp showed up in 9 of our 12 searches, and sites like Tripadvisor appear too. Directories are strong, so we build your own pages and profile to compete and make sure you are listed well on them.

### Is SEO enough, or do I need GEO too?

You need both. Google still drives most local searches, and AI assistants are a second route to customers. Read [GEO vs SEO](https://www.llmreach.ai/guides/geo-vs-seo) to see how they fit together.

### How much does SEO cost in Malden?

It depends on scope, such as your sector, site and competition. The free audit gives you a clear plan, so you know what the work involves before you decide.
