Local SEO Services
Why Local SEO?
When was the last time you went to page 2 of Google to look for something? Our guess is it has been a while.
If your business is not being shown in the top-3 results of Google, you may as well be invisible. And with the increasing popularity of AI search, showing up there could determine the future of your business.
Your business needs a local SEO team that stays up to date with current trends, works directly with their clients to grow their business, and is an industry leader in local SEO. Contact us to see how we can help your business.

Cosmos Marble and Granite
Cosmos's previous SEO company was unable to generate leads at all for them. After 12 months of no traction, they wanted to speak with a local SEO company and found us via AI search.
After an extensive interview process to understand their business, Workbench SEO worked with Cosmos Marble & Granite on working backwards from their ideal customer.
Together, we identified the many journeys a customer can go through to arrive at a search for countertops near them. We then built content around this journey, making sure to target as many keywords as possible to show up in those journeys.
Cosmos had offers and coupons that were never being utilized. We surfaced them to appear throughout the site.
We added a text functionality widget and focused on CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) across the site. Making it as easy as possible for the customer to reach Cosmos was a top priority.
Despite us being early in the relationship with this client, we have already started to generate meaningful business and they have a beautifully designed website to show off to their clients.
Vene Construction
Unprecedented growth and scaling
“We have grown our business by adding 5 new team members. Ever since we started with Alex and Carmen our business has never been this strong. We view them as family now.”

Vene Construction
When we first started working with Vene Construction LLC, a home remodeler out of the Lehigh Valley, PA, they had never worked with an SEO company before. Their owners, a father-and-son duo of Lorenzo and Yamild Perez, knew they needed marketing to scale their business.
Their goal was to hire staff and build a construction company. They just needed enough work to give to this staff.
After 6 months of working with them, we are proud to say they have added 5 new full-time people to their staff. They have never been as busy as they are now and are on their way to becoming the biggest name in construction in the Lehigh Valley. Keep an eye out for them!

NookLocal
Workbench SEO built and markets NookLocal, a home search site for the Greater Philadelphia area. It pairs local listings with property taxes, school data and area guides.
We wanted to build a local real estate portal for real estate referral traffic. Knowing that competing with Zillow, Redfin and Realtor.com for keywords such as “homes for sale near me” was unlikely, we took a different approach.
We went after long-tail, bottom-of-the-funnel keywords to build authority and trust. We created content people cared about beyond home searches. Some examples include:
- Guide to Doylestown, PA
- Best public swimming pool in Bucks County
- Hidden gem restaurants in Bucks County
- Best value school districts in PA
- PA tax calculator
Because of this strategy, we have seen very fast growth and continue to grow. More and more people use NookLocal every month, and we are excited to see how this site grows.

S&B Construction & Remodeling
Mo money mo problems
“I just got 5 more jobs last week from you guys, I can barely keep up. I am running 14 hour days, do you have anyone I can hire?”
Read the case study
S&B Construction & Remodeling
Brian's previous SEO company was out of state. He wanted somebody local who understood the area and would build pages around his business.
We started with an extensive interview highlighting his core services. Since he wanted kitchen, bathroom, and deck work, we put heavy emphasis on those pages and made sure we prioritized those services outside the website, too, including on his Google Business Profile.
Brian is an expert craftsman. Showcasing this through case studies of his professional work and attention to detail was critical. We are now on a weekly cadence where we interview him after every job. We get the details, photos, keywords to target, reviews, and proof, then turn them into new content.
This snowball approach of constantly building on previous work is a strategy we employ with all of our clients and is one of the biggest reasons for their success. SEO is a long-term investment that requires the right habits, and we are so glad Brian is developing those habits with us.
Gould, Blake & Company CPAs
#1 on Google Maps for “CPA near me” in Phillipsburg
“What impresses me most about Workbench SEO is how genuinely invested they are in the success of my business.”

Gould, Blake & Company CPAs
When we started working with Gould, Blake & Company CPAs in May 2026, the Phillipsburg, NJ firm didn’t have a website. Managing Partner Mallorie Blake wanted the firm to be easier to find online and to bring in new clients.
We built their first website, claimed and rebranded their Google Business Profile, and set up a simple process for asking clients for Google reviews.
In October we rebuilt every page on the site around what their clients search for, from tax preparation and tax planning to pages for Phillipsburg and Easton.
In September’s Local Falcon scan, Gould Blake ranked #1 on Google Maps for “cpa near me” at their office and in the top three at 29 of 49 points across a five-mile grid.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you guarantee #1 rankings?
No, and any company that does is overpromising. We focus on what we can control for our clients so their business has the best possible chance of ranking above competitors.
What if I already work with another SEO company?
We will tell you honestly whether switching makes sense, whether it is worth keeping the current company and adding to it, or whether the current setup already covers what is needed.
Will you spam the site with low-quality links?
No. The work is focused on legitimate citations, real local listings, and links earned from sources that fit the trade. Spam links can lead to manual penalties, and recovery from that is harder than building authority the right way.
How do you measure success?
By the client's bottom line. Are we helping the business grow and make more money? That is the metric we care about most. We still show SEO stats along the way so you can see what is improving, but the real goal is revenue growth.
How long until I see results from SEO?
Profile cleanup, technical fixes, and clearer service pages can show movement in the first one to two months. Ranking gains for competitive terms in established markets usually take three to six months of consistent work. The proposal spells out which gains are quick and which are longer builds.
Why do you require a six-month commitment?
Most of the work in the first three months builds the foundation for the gains that show up over the rest of the engagement. Shorter terms reward short-term thinking and produce short-term results.
What does it cost?
SEO pricing varies by client based on the market, competition, and scope of work. Our Market Leader plan starts at $2,500 per month. All of our services are backed by the Clutch Guarantee: cancel by email within 14 days of kickoff for a full refund.
