Who it fits

Local execution for teams that need the work owned

A strong fit when the missing piece is accountable operation of a defined system—not another disconnected recommendation.

Single-location businesses

Keep one profile active without adding another recurring task.

Give the manager the facts, services, voice, and local keywords that matter. The workflow turns that context into an operating plan with your chosen approval controls.

Multi-location businesses

Run a consistent process without flattening local context.

Keep access, business details, and location context organized separately while the manager coordinates the work across connected profiles within applicable limits.

Lean marketing teams

Add accountable execution around a visible system.

Your team retains visibility and control. A dedicated manager owns the operating rhythm, quality checks, and follow-through inside the supported workflow.

How it works

A managed rhythm with your controls intact

Your manager takes responsibility for coordinating the supported work. Your team remains the source of truth for the business and controls how approvals and publishing are handled.

See the Google Business Profile integration →

01

Confirm access

Connect the existing Google Business Profile locations the service will operate and confirm the people who can approve work.
02

Set the business context

Review business details, services, locations, brand voice, and the local keywords that should be tracked.
03

Build the post plan

Create the Google Business Profile post plan and set the approval and publishing controls your team wants to use.
04

Operate with quality gates

Plan and publish posts, sync Google reviews, and prepare or publish personalized replies when the profile match and policy checks are clear.
05

Review and adjust

Use audit findings, weekly per-keyword rank history, review status, and agreed reporting to decide what the workflow should address next.

Deliverables and controls

The operating agreement, in plain language

Each deliverable connects the team’s work to a product cadence or trigger, a customer control, and a visible limit.

Deliverable	What the team does	Product cadence or trigger	Customer control	Limit or exclusion
GBP posts	Plan, create, review, schedule, and publish posts for connected profiles.	The agreed post plan and schedule.	Confirm business facts and choose approval and publishing controls.	Existing connected profiles and the supported post workflow only.
Google review sync and replies	Sync reviews, prepare personalized drafts, check sentiment and policy fit, and publish when the profile match is clear.	During onboarding, on demand, and when synced data becomes stale.	Retain access and approval control for the reply workflow.	Google reviews only; no removal, gating, incentives, or outbound sending.
Profile audit	Run the 0–100 audit and turn its specific findings into reviewable priorities.	At onboarding and when the managed workflow calls for a refresh.	Review the findings and confirm which supported actions to prioritize.	The score and findings diagnose the profile; they do not predict an outcome.
Local keyword tracking	Record Google Maps, Local Pack, and organic positions for selected keywords.	Weekly history for each approved keyword.	Select and update the keywords that matter to the business.	Per-keyword rank tracking, not geo-grid or pin-based coverage.
Multi-location workflow	Coordinate supported work across connected locations while preserving location-specific context.	Per connected location in the active workflow.	Maintain separate access, details, and context for each location.	Location capacity follows the applicable service limits.
Reporting and strategy	Review workflow status, surface findings, and recommend supported next actions.	The reporting and review rhythm confirmed before service begins.	Ask questions, review priorities, and approve changes to direction.	Reporting explains activity and observations; it does not promise results.

What becomes visible

Measure the workflow without pretending to control the market

theStacc makes supported activity and recorded signals easier to inspect. Rankings still depend on Google, competitors, searcher context, profile history, and other factors outside the service’s control.

MapsRecorded position Local PackRecorded position OrganicRecorded position HistoryWeekly record

Per-keyword visibility

Maps, Local Pack, and organic positions are recorded for each selected keyword.

Weekly history

Weekly records make changes over time visible without implying what caused them.

Profile findings

The profile audit provides a score and specific findings for supported follow-up.

Review workflow status

Synced Google reviews and response status make outstanding work easier to see.

Product and process proof

Proof starts with what the workflow can show

This page does not use customer logos, quotes, or case-study results to imply an outcome. Its proof is operational: connected profile controls, reviewable post and reply work, specific audit findings, weekly per-keyword history, and a manager accountable for the supported process.

Work remains reviewable before it reaches the profile, according to the controls you set.

Audit findings and response status turn supported follow-up into visible work.

Weekly ranking history records what changed without assigning unsupported causation.

Frequently asked questions

Before you choose managed local SEO

Clear answers about operations, visibility, and where the service stops.

What is included in managed local SEO?

theStacc manages supported Google Business Profile posts, Google review replies, a profile audit, weekly per-keyword Maps, Local Pack, and organic rank history, multi-location workflows within applicable limits, and agreed reporting through a dedicated manager. It does not add citation or geo-grid capabilities.

How is this different from the Local SEO module?

The capabilities and limits are the same. With the managed service, theStacc team operates the supported workflow and a dedicated manager owns coordination and quality. With the Local SEO module, your team operates the workflow directly.

Do you build citations or manage directory listings?

No. Citation building, directory cleanup, and listing syndication are outside this service.

Does local rank tracking include a geo-grid?

No. Tracking records weekly Google Maps, Local Pack, and organic positions for each selected keyword. It does not provide a geo-grid, map-grid, heatmap, or pin-based view.

Can the service support multiple locations?

Yes. The workflow can support multiple connected locations while keeping their access, business details, and context separate. Location capacity follows the applicable service limits.

Which reviews are monitored and answered?

The workflow syncs Google reviews for connected profiles and supports personalized Google reply drafts and direct publishing when the profile match and policy checks are clear. It does not monitor non-Google review platforms, remove reviews, gate feedback, offer incentives, or send outbound review requests.

What ranking and activity information can I see?

You can review weekly per-keyword Maps, Local Pack, and organic rank history, profile audit findings, synced Google review and response status, and the supported work discussed in agreed reporting.

Do you guarantee Map Pack placement, calls, leads, or revenue?

No. theStacc operates and reports on the supported workflow, but rankings and business outcomes depend on factors outside any provider’s control. The service does not guarantee placement, calls, leads, revenue, or a results timeline.

Managed, visible, bounded

Make local SEO an operated workflow—not a loose list of tasks.

Bring the business context. theStacc brings the manager, supported system, and accountable follow-through.
