Every Dcrayons engagement rests on six simple things: rankings you can prove, listings you can check, reviews you can grow, content that earns trust, links that build over time, and clear numbers for each location that anyone on your team can read.
Profile + pages + code We clean up your Google Business Profile for each location, rebuild your location pages with the right code, and make sure they load fast on phones. Then we track your spot in the local map results every week, across every area you serve.
Listings + AI mentions We check that your business name, address and phone number match across 50+ online directories. We also fix your listings on sites like Wikipedia, Wikidata, Crunchbase, G2 and Clutch so ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews name your locations correctly.
Reviews + pages + tracking We set up a simple system to ask happy customers for reviews across all your locations. We build city and area pages that turn visitors into buyers. Each month you get one clear number tied to a result you care about: booked jobs, phone calls, or store visits.
City pages + area guides We write pages for each area you serve, short guides for nearby neighbourhoods, and a steady stream of blog posts. The writing is made to rank on Google and to be quoted accurately by AI tools, for every location you target.
Local partners + press We earn mentions from your local chamber of commerce, business groups, community partners and regional press. Every link is honest and easy to explain, and tied to a nearby search you want to win in that area.
Dashboards + map tracking You get a dashboard for each location. It shows how often you appear in the map results, your profile activity, listing health, review pace and feeling, AI mention accuracy, and the revenue you can trace back. We review it with you every week.
HOW DCRAYONS LOCAL SEO WORKS
It is the work of helping small and medium businesses, shops, service-area companies and multi-location brands show up in the place-based searches that drive walk-ins and near-me sales.
Searches tied to a place Regular SEO chases broad, nationwide searches. Local search is different. It targets near-me and city searches. Google ranks these by how close you are, how well you match, and how well known you are, and it puts a map of three businesses above the normal results.
Mentions before the map ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews now answer questions like who is the best plumber near me before the person ever sees the map. Making sure these tools name you correctly is the part most agencies still miss in 2026.
What the Score measures Ten things decide your rank: a complete profile, matching listings, site authority, listing quality, click rate, keyword coverage, a smooth site, review pace, local links, and accurate AI mentions. We track each one in your monthly Dcrayons Score.
Standard work on every Dcrayons engagement
We check each location's profile against 38 items: services, attributes, hours, products, FAQs, photos, Q&A and posts.
We connect it to the right code with your full address and map coordinates so Google trusts it.
We check your name, address and phone across 50+ online directories plus the directories that matter in your field.
We fix misspellings, short forms and old business names in the first cycle.
Your location pages must load quickly: LCP under 2.5s, INP under 200ms and CLS under 0.1 at launch.
We check them on iPhone Safari and Android Chrome. Passing at launch is part of the deal.
Every location page ships with LocalBusiness, Breadcrumb, Service and AggregateRating code.
AI tools need this code to connect your brand to the right place.
We use a clear hub-and-spoke layout: a main hub links to location hubs, which link to each area page.
Link text is honest, never stuffed with keywords. We add links in a steady order across the 90-day cycle.
We check and fix your entries on Wikipedia, Wikidata, Crunchbase, G2, Clutch and Capterra for each location.
AI tools cross-check these to confirm your brand exists and what you do. New for 2026.
Score, Sequence and Repair. The check-up, the 90-day plan, and the toolkit that keeps AI tools mentioning you correctly. We run all three on every multi-location job.
A check-up across five areas and 150 factors. The local part looks at your profile, listing matches, listing depth, review pace, page code, and how accurately AI tools mention you for near-me searches. Free on every proposal call, then tracked every month.
The 90-day plan. Profile cleanup in weeks 1-2, listing fixes in weeks 3-6, and review growth plus AI mention work in weeks 7-12. Tied to one result you pick: booked jobs, store visits, or good inbound calls.
Our own toolkit. It reads near-me search results, tracks how often you appear in the map, suggests profile fixes, and checks how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews mention each location.
Three simple plays that build rankings, listings and reviews cycle after cycle.
A free Dcrayons Score readout in one business day. We check five areas: profile completeness, listing matches, listing depth, review pace, and how accurately AI tools mention you. You get one number from 0 to 100, plus a list of the near-me searches you are not yet showing up for. No strings attached.
A written 90-day plan tied to one result you pick: booked jobs, store visits, good calls, or foot traffic. It puts profile cleanup, listing fixes, review growth and AI mention work in the right order based on your starting Score. Every agreement lets either side stop.
Weekly check-ins with a senior person and a monthly summary anyone can read. The work builds on itself: profile and listing fixes in cycle one feed your map rankings in cycle two, which feed accurate AI mentions in cycle three.
A free check-up across five areas, including how AI tools mention you, plus the 90-day plan to close the gap. No slide decks, no sales theatre.
Goal completions, multi-location client (YoY)
Twelve programs covering every layer of a local search engagement, from the first audit to the newest AI mention work.
WHY DCRAYONS
Succeed in a crowded local market
Getting found nearby takes years of hands-on work across your profile, listings, reviews, and the new AI mention layer. Dcrayons takes that work off your plate so you can stay focused on running your locations.
Flat monthly pricing tied to the work, not the number of locations or your ad spend. Your quote is built from your Dcrayons Score readout.
A senior strategist plus our DcrayonsAI toolkit on every account. The AI suggests ranking signals; the strategist checks them and ships.
Weekly check-ins and a monthly summary anyone can read, per location. One result you pick (booked jobs, calls, foot traffic) drives the dashboard.
Month-to-month after the first 90-day start. Either side can stop, written into every agreement. We earn the next 90 days every 90 days.
Profile, listings, reviews, content, on-page and AI mention work, all with one strategist. No messy handoffs between teams.
220+ client locations shipped across home services, healthcare, retail, automotive and B2B. The patterns carry over; the tactics adapt to each field.
Across our 75+ active retainers, the typical 6-month local-revenue gap we measure for multi-location brands with no active local search and AI mention program lands between Rs 4L and Rs 18L per region (n=22 with full data). Book the scoping call to size yours.

A written 90-day plan tied to a result you pick
Real questions buyers ask Dcrayons before signing on. Pricing, timelines, multi-location plans, and the truth about AI mentions.
Regular SEO is built for nationwide searches. Local search targets near-me and city searches, which work very differently: results are filtered by where you are, a map of three businesses sits above the normal results, your Google Business Profile becomes the main place people see you, and your review pace becomes a direct ranking signal. For 2026 we also make sure ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews mention each location correctly. Regular SEO does not need this layer.
Map ranking usually moves in 6 to 10 weeks after we clean up your profile and listings. Authority from listings builds over 3 to 6 months. Accurate mentions in ChatGPT and Gemini usually land 8 to 14 weeks after we fix your brand on outside sites. Real results (booked jobs, calls, store visits) usually show by month 3.
Yes, and this is where the work pays off most. Dcrayons manages 220+ client locations across multi-location brands and franchise networks. The work scales well: a 22-location program is about 1.6x the effort of a 1-location program, because profile rules and brand standards carry across locations.
Yes, if you have clear service areas (plumber, electrician, mobile services, regional B2B). Google ranks service-area businesses separately from shops. The plan is similar (profile, listings, reviews, location pages) but your profile is set to a service-area type. We have shipped programs for plumbing, HVAC, mobile detailing, B2B field services and home services.
Twelve items: profile audit and cleanup; listing audit and repair; location-page layout; local business code; a review-asking system; competitor and search analysis; near-me keyword research; on-page conversion work; fast mobile pages; local-link outreach; a steady content schedule; and AI mention work (new for 2026). See the services grid above for how Dcrayons orders each step.
Yes. Every retainer ships with a Dcrayons playbook made for your fields, locations and competitors. It includes profile runbooks per location, a list of listing sites, review-asking templates, and the map of where to fix your brand on outside sites. Yours to keep.
Five questions: (1) Who is the senior strategist on my account, and is that the same person who scopes the work? (2) What is your profile audit and cleanup process? (3) How do you check that ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity mention me correctly? (4) How do you grow reviews and handle negative ones? (5) What does your reporting look like, and what result is the work tied to?
Yes. Every retainer includes weekly reports and a monthly summary anyone can read, tied to one result you pick. The reports show your profile activity, traffic from local sources, how often you appear in the map, review pace and feeling, listing health, and how accurately AI tools mention you.
Yes. The 30-minute scoping call and the five-area Score readout in one business day are free. No follow-on commitment. Run by a senior Dcrayons strategist.
Three reasons: (1) AI mention work is built into every engagement, not a paid add-on. (2) A senior strategist works on your account from week one, not a junior learning on your budget. (3) The work is tied to real results, not pretty map screenshots. The Dcrayons Score readout in the first call shows where you would start.
A free five-area check-up, including AI mentions, plus the 90-day plan to close the gap.
