What’s included
What local SEO in Miami includes.
Google Business Profile management
Categories, services, hours, photos, posts and Q&A kept complete and current, because the profile is what shows in the map.
Bing Places and Apple Maps
The same details on the other maps, which also feed Copilot, Siri and other assistants.
Reviews, the right way
One simple request sent to every customer, the same way, with replies to every review. No incentives, no filtering.
Service pages that rank
Pages that answer what people in Miami search for, with prices, areas served and real questions, in English and Spanish.
Consistent business details
Same name, phone, website and service area on your site, Google, Bing, Apple, Yelp and the directories in your industry.
Map and AI tracking
Monthly check of where you show in the map across Miami-Dade and Broward, and whether AI tools name you.
How the map decides
How Google picks who shows in the map.
Google says local results are based mainly on three things: relevance (how well your profile matches the search), distance (how far you are from the person searching) and prominence (how well known the business is, including reviews, links and mentions). You can improve relevance and prominence. Distance you cannot fake.
- Relevance: the right primary category, services written the way customers search, and a website that says the same thing.
- Prominence: a steady flow of real reviews, replies to each one, and mentions on sites Google trusts.
- Distance: a service-area business ranks around where it is based, so we track your visibility across the area, not from one spot.
- Freshness: posts, photos and updated details show Google the business is active.
No storefront?
Service-area businesses without a storefront.
Plumbers, cleaners, contractors and other businesses that go to the customer can hide their address and list a service area instead. PeakFlint’s own profile works this way.
- List the counties or cities you actually serve, not the whole state.
- Never use a virtual office or a mailbox as your address; Google can suspend the profile.
- Build pages for the services you sell, not one thin page per city.
- Ask for reviews after every job, since you cannot rely on walk-in traffic.
English and Spanish
Local search in Miami happens in two languages.
Many Miami customers search in Spanish, and Google and AI tools answer in the language of the question. We write your Google Business Profile, posts and key pages in both languages, reply to reviews in the language they were written in, and track Spanish searches separately. Areas we cover in Miami-Dade and Broward include Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables, Doral, Hialeah, Kendall, Homestead, Aventura, North Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Coral Springs, Weston, Davie and Plantation.

What we won’t do
The shortcuts we refuse.
- Keywords or “Miami” added to your business name on Google. It breaks Google’s rules and gets profiles suspended.
- Fake, bought or incentivized reviews, or asking only happy customers (review gating).
- Doorway pages: dozens of near-identical city pages.
- Bought links or private blog networks.
- Promises of a #1 ranking. Nobody controls Google’s map.
Questions
Local SEO questions, answered.
How much does local SEO cost in Miami?
Our Local SEO + AEO plan is $1,300 a month plus a one-time $500 setup, three months to start and then month to month. Whoever you hire, ask what is included, who does the work and who owns the profile.
Is local SEO worth it?
Usually, if customers search for your service in your area. Every visit from the map or the free results is a click you do not pay for, and in Miami common local searches like plumber, locksmith or pest control cost about $20 to $35 a click on Google Ads.
How long does local SEO take?
Fixes to your profile and site can show within weeks. Reviews, mentions and content usually take two to three quarters to move map rankings in competitive Miami categories.
Is SEO still worth it now that AI answers questions?
Yes. Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity draw on the same signals: a complete profile, consistent details, real reviews and clear service pages. See AEO and GEO.
Can I rank in the map without an office?
Yes, as a service-area business with a hidden address, but you will rank mostly around where you are based. Never use a virtual office.
Do you work in Spanish?
Yes. Profiles, posts, pages and review replies can be in English, Spanish or both.
