Questions
Straight answers,
including the awkward ones.
If a question here has a vague answer, it's because the honest answer is 'it depends' — and we'd rather say that than invent a number.
Locora
- What does Locora do?
- Locora builds the digital system behind local customer acquisition: website, local SEO, Google Business Profile, reputation, and tracking, connected as one process rather than separate services.
- What is the Search-to-Customer System?
- It's how we structure the work: get found, get understood, get chosen, get contacted, get reviewed. Each stage has things that can go wrong and things we can measure.
- Is Locora a web design agency?
- Websites are one part of what we do, but a site on its own rarely produces customers. We work on the whole path from search to contact.
- What businesses does Locora work with?
- Businesses that depend on local demand — restaurants, dental practices, home services, medical and wellness, professional services, personal care, automotive, and local retail.
- Do you work with multi-location businesses?
- Yes. Multi-location work adds location architecture, profile consistency, and per-location measurement.
Local SEO
- Does Locora guarantee Google rankings?
- No. Nobody can honestly guarantee rankings or placement. We commit to the work, the measurement, and reporting what actually changed.
- How long does local SEO take?
- Profile and website fixes can show movement in weeks. Competitive local visibility usually takes months of consistent work. We'll tell you which category your situation is in.
Websites
- Do I need a new website?
- Not always. If the structure is sound, improving conversion and content is often faster and cheaper than rebuilding.
- Can Locora work with my existing website?
- Usually yes. The audit tells us whether improving or rebuilding is the better use of your budget.
Google Business Profile
- Can you optimize my Google Business Profile?
- Yes — categories, services, photos, business information, posts where appropriate, and Q&A, with profile actions tracked over time.
- Is Locora affiliated with Google?
- No. Locora is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or certified by Google.
Reviews
- Can you help with reviews?
- We help build a repeatable way to request reviews, monitor them, and respond well. We never buy, incentivize, or fabricate reviews.
Plans
- What's included in Found?
- A conversion-focused website foundation, local SEO setup, Google Business Profile optimization, and core tracking.
- What's included in Chosen?
- Everything in Found, plus deeper local SEO, structured service content, FAQ strategy, schema and entity clarity, ongoing optimization, review support, and performance reporting.
- What's included in Dominate?
- Everything in Chosen, plus ongoing strategic optimization, content expansion, reputation management, competitive monitoring, monthly growth planning, and advanced reporting.
Process
- How does onboarding work?
- Diagnose, prioritize, build, launch, optimize. It starts with a Local Growth Audit so the first work is aimed at the biggest gap.
- How is performance measured?
- Search visibility, profile actions, website conversion, calls, form leads, bookings, and review growth — reported together rather than as isolated numbers.
Billing
- How is pricing structured?
- Plans are scoped after the audit, since the right starting point depends on what already works. We'll give you the number in writing before anything begins.
- Are there long contracts?
- Terms are agreed in writing up front. Ongoing local work compounds, so we're candid about which engagements need time to pay off.
