I'm John Alewine. I run Kansas City SEO Services from Kansas City, MO. Maps first, not blog mills.

Is Google Business Profile and map pack work right for my business?

I run a Google Business Profile, Bing Places, and local directory service for Kansas City businesses that want more calls, directions, and website clicks from the map pack. Whether it fits depends on what you need. It is a fit for local businesses like flooring companies, massage therapists, and life coaches that want their Google listing claimed, complete, and kept current with weekly posts, photo upkeep, and citation cleanup. It is not a fit if you are looking for technical SEO, blog mills, or if I already work with your nearby competitor in the same category and map area.

Get found with AI

When a customer asks an AI assistant who to call, the answer has to come from somewhere. Assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity search the web and pull from what they find there: your Google Business Profile, your reviews and your own website. I work on those same pieces so they are accurate and easy to read. I can't promise any placement or answer, and no one honest can.

Why it matters

The same signals feed AI answers

Google says AI Overviews and AI Mode use the same SEO fundamentals as regular search, including an up to date Business Profile and structured data that matches the page. Google also says complete info and reviews help local results. ChatGPT and Perplexity publish search crawlers (OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot) that read sites they can reach. Anthropic says Claude-SearchBot indexes pages for Claude search results and Claude-User fetches pages when someone asks Claude a question. xAI says Grok can search the web and browse pages to answer with current information.

What I do

Clean, consistent, readable

  • Google Business Profile cleanup: categories, services, hours, description, photos
  • Reviews: request coaching and reply drafts
  • Clear service descriptions on your profile and pages
  • Structured data and plain text answers that match what is on the page
  • Consistent name, address and phone across Google, Bing and directories

What do you get on the map?

Other shops sell audits, blogs, and retainers you never open. You get a Google listing that is claimed, complete, and watched, plus Bing and directories so your name, address, and phone stay consistent.

  1. Google Business Profile (core). Claim or recover the listing, set the primary category, write the description, load photos, set hours and service areas, and keep posts going. This is the main product.
  2. Bing Places (included). A matching listing on Bing and Microsoft maps so your name, address, and phone do not drift on the second search engine Kansas City still uses.
  3. Local directories (included). The directories that still feed Google, Apple, and GPS data. Same name, same address, same phone, every time.

Google's own help pages say customers are 2.7 times more likely to consider a business reputable if they find a complete Business Profile, and 70% more likely to visit and 50% more likely to consider purchasing from businesses with a complete profile (source: support.google.com).

Short walkthrough

How does a listing earn visibility in the map pack?

The local map pack, and the calls, directions and website clicks a complete Google listing can bring in. Want your own listing reviewed? Start with a free Map Pack Check and I will record it next to nearby competitors.

Which businesses do you help?

Any local business that wants more calls from Google. A few I have worked with:

  • Flooring companies. Homeowners search the map when they need floors.
  • Massage therapists. Nearby, high-intent searches.
  • Life coaches. A category people assume cannot rank locally.

See the work page. Trades such as plumbers and categories like flooring each have their own page. Agents, teams and brokerages: see real estate SEO services Kansas City agents can use without breaking Google or license rules.

Kansas City, not a city page farm

Office

What does Kansas City SEO Services do?

Maps first, not blog mills. I claim, fix and keep up your Google listing, match it on Bing, and place you on the directories that still feed Google, Apple and GPS data. I do not rebuild websites, chase backlinks, or write technical SEO reports you never open. I take one business per category per map area, so I will not take your competitor nearby.

Questions owners ask first

Is this website SEO or technical SEO?

No. I do not rebuild sites, chase backlinks, or write blog mills. I put your business on Google Maps, Bing, and the local directories people and search engines check.

What is the free Map Pack Check?

A five-minute screen recording of your Google listing compared with nearby competitors. No charge. Request it on the contact page.

What does onboarding audit include?

Claim or recover, categories, hours, service area, description, photos, Bing Places, core directories, and name, address and phone cleanup for $5,000 to $10,000 one time. It is waived on 12-month terms.

Do you take every business in a zip code?

No. I take one business per category per map area. If I already represent a competing plumber on your side of town, I will tell you before you pay.

Is there an onboarding or setup fee?

There is a one-time onboarding audit of $5,000 to $10,000, and it is waived on 12-month terms. Growth is $5,000 a month with a 6-month minimum. Authority ($7,500 a month) and Enterprise ($10,000 a month) run on 12-month terms. Google Ads is quoted separately, plus ad spend.

Can you guarantee the top spot or an AI mention?

No. Google controls local results and the assistants control their answers. The offer is a complete, consistent, watched listing and plain-text answers on your pages. Anyone who guarantees a map pack spot or an AI recommendation is promising something they do not control.
