What you need before you start

  • The client's main keywords and services
  • The client's business address and service area
  • Access to the client's website
  • An AgentixSEO plan for the location

The steps

  1. Step 1 · AgentixSEO onsite audit

    Run an onsite audit

    Audit every page for technical and content issues, then apply the suggested fixes.

    Tip: Fix the home page and top service pages first. They carry the most weight.

  2. Step 2 · AgentixSEO local grid tracking

    Set up local grid rank tracking

    Track the client's main keywords on a grid across the service area so you see where they rank street by street, not just from one point.

    Tip: Track the same keywords the client's customers actually search, not industry jargon.

  3. Step 3 · AgentixSEO competitor tracking

    Track competitors

    Add the top local competitors so you can see who ranks where and why.

    Tip: Pick competitors that show up in the map pack, not the biggest brands.

  4. Step 4 · AgentixSEO content with AgentixHUB

    Publish service and location pages

    Create pages for each core service and main area the client serves, with local details and clear calls to action.

    Tip: Each page should be genuinely useful. Avoid copy that only swaps the city name.

  5. Step 5 · AgentixSEO backlink campaigns

    Build authority

    Run backlink campaigns that point to the client's key pages.

    Tip: Local and industry links beat large numbers of unrelated links.

  6. Step 6 · AgentixSEO white-label dashboards

    Report progress monthly

    Share grid results, ranking changes and traffic in a white-label dashboard the client can open any time.

    Tip: Show the grid from month one next to today. It makes progress easy to see.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Tracking rankings from a single point instead of a grid
  • Publishing thin pages that only change the city name
  • Ignoring the client's Google Business Profile
  • Reporting rankings without tying them to leads

Timelines and targets are typical ranges, not guarantees. Results depend on the client's market and starting point.
