Harrigan Creative is a Columbus-based growth team running local SEO, Google & Meta ads, and websites for small businesses tired of being overlooked. One Ohio team. Direct line. Real reporting.
Most agencies report on the average. We report on every grid square inside your service radius. Watch a real client climb across a 5×5 search area in 90 days.
Audit, then a 90-day plan: on-page rebuild, citation cleanup, GBP optimization, weekly content, and review velocity. No magic. Just the work, done well.
Local SEO isn't a service — it's a stack. We rebuild every layer for every client. Skip one and the rest stop compounding. This is the system that took the client on the previous map from page two to position one across a 25-square service area in 90 days.
We map your real position in every grid square inside your service area — 25 points minimum, 49 for larger radii. Run weekly. Drive-time-adjusted, not just zip-code-based. You see where you actually rank when somebody three minutes away searches you. Not the "average" your last agency reported.
Most agencies target by zip code. Zip codes don't drive cars. We bound campaigns by isochrone — the actual 10-, 15-, or 20-minute drive shape from your front door. Same budget, two to four times the qualified clicks. You stop paying for impressions in places that were never going to call you.
Your Google Business Profile is your front door. We rebuild it — categories, attributes, photos, services, Q&A — then turn on a review system that asks the right customer at the right moment, the right way. No incentives, no policy violations, just better timing. Most clients triple their review pace inside 60 days.
The unsexy layer that makes the rest work. LocalBusiness, Organization, Service, and FAQ schema deployed and validated. NAP consistency across 60+ citation directories. Title and meta tags rebuilt to under 60 characters with city-and-service intent. Duplicate pages 301'd. Staging links nuked. Core Web Vitals into the green.
Half of Google searches now ship an AI Overview before the blue links. Brand mentions correlate with AI citations three times stronger than backlinks do. We deploy llms.txt, optimize for citability (134–167-word answer blocks), and seed brand-mention signals on YouTube, Reddit, and Wikipedia where it matters. Done right, you get cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity for queries your old SEO never touched.
Each layer feeds the next. That's why our results compound — month two outperforms month one, and month six outperforms month two. Most agencies stop at layer two. We don't.
See the full system in your industryWe don't sell channels. We sell growth. Every engagement starts with the same question: where is the next 90 days of revenue actually going to come from? Then we build for that.
Strategist-led ad builds, copywriter variants, designer assets, and a media buyer in your account every week. Built for businesses spending $500–$20K/month.
The map pack is the new front page for service businesses. We build the on-page, the citations, the reviews, and the content to dominate inside your service radius.
Custom-coded or platform builds with conversion baked in. Fast, accessible, mobile-first. Built so the form fills, the phone rings, and the calendar fills itself.
For owners who don't need a vendor — they need a thinking partner. Pricing, offers, ops, hiring, channel mix. Hourly retainer or project basis.
Numbers are useless without the work behind them. Ask in our intro call and we'll show you the live dashboards from three current clients in your industry.
See live dashboardsWeek one. We map your current map-pack rank, ad accounts, and site against three direct competitors. You leave the kickoff with a heatmap and a punch list — even if you never hire us.
Weeks two through four. We rebuild what's broken — landing pages, GBP, tracking, automation. Every change is documented. Nothing happens that you don't see.
Day thirty. Campaigns go live, content cadence starts, the review system flips on. From here, you should feel the phone ringing differently.
Day thirty onward, forever. Weekly buyer optimization, monthly strategy call, quarterly plan. We don't set and forget. Your retainer is an active seat.
You won't get reassigned to a junior. You won't get a ticket queue. You'll have a phone number and a name, and we pick up. Excellent customer care isn't a tagline here — it's the actual product.
Reports show what happened. Strategy calls explain why. Every retainer includes a monthly call where we walk through the numbers, show what we tried, and tell you what's next — in plain English.
Most of our clients are within a 60-minute drive. We've sat in their shops. We know the difference between "ranks well in town" and "ranks well in town on a Saturday morning." That nuance is the work.
