Google weighs how close a business is to the person searching. So the neighbor at Town Center sees you, and the one in Kingsview never knows you exist. From your shop, you can't see the difference.

Will this actually get me more customers?
You see every change we make and what moved because of it. Your map is measured before and after from the same points, so the proof is in your dashboard, not in our promises. Google itself says no one can pay for a better local ranking, so we earn it with real fixes.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. Software plans are month to month and cancel in one click in your account. Done-for-you plans have no long-term contract either.
How much does it cost?
Software is $39, $99 or $149 a month. Done-for-you is $249 a month for a website, $599 for local SEO, or from $999 for Local SEO Plus, plus a one-time setup. Bigger projects are quoted. Every plan is on the pricing page. The free audit costs nothing and needs no card.
Who owns my website and Google profile?
You do: your website content, your domain, your Google profile and your phone number. That includes sites we build for you through our web design service.
Is SEO still worth it now that people ask ChatGPT?
Yes. 45% of consumers used AI tools to find local businesses in 2026, and those tools lean on the same signals Google does: your profile, reviews, listings and website. SOSSRANK tracks both, so you see where you appear in each.
Can I do it myself?
Yes. The SOSSRANK app gives you the same map and a ranked list of fixes in plain English, from $39 a month. You can hand it to us later with zero migration, because it is the same platform and the same data.
Do you work with businesses outside Maryland?
Yes. The app works anywhere in the US, and done-for-you work is done remotely. We have guides for plumbers, dentists, HVAC companies and restaurants.
What happens in the free scan?
