Boosting Trades to the Top Since 2004
Local Ranking Coach was founded with a single mission: to help trades and service businesses compete and win in local search. For over 20 years, we've been the secret weapon for the nation's most successful contractors, healthcare providers, legal professionals, and service businesses.
Our Story
Local Ranking Coach was born from a simple observation: the best plumbers, electricians, roofers, and service businesses across the country were losing customers to inferior competitors who simply ranked higher on Google. Exceptional craftspeople were being outranked by mediocre operators who had figured out local SEO first.
We set out to change that. Our founders — with backgrounds in both digital marketing and the trades — built a local SEO methodology specifically designed for service businesses. Not the generic SEO playbook that works for e-commerce or national brands, but a system built around the unique dynamics of local search: Google Business Profile optimization, citation building, review management, local content strategy, and technical SEO tailored for service-area businesses.
Over two decades, we've refined this methodology through hundreds of client engagements across the nation's most competitive markets. We've helped HVAC companies triple their call volume, law firms dominate their practice area searches, dental practices fill their appointment books, and home service contractors build businesses they're proud of.
Today, Local Ranking Coach is the premier local SEO agency for trades and service businesses nationwide. Our team of specialists brings deep expertise in local search, combined with genuine knowledge of the industries we serve. We don't just understand SEO — we understand your business.
