Built by a Business Owner. For Business Owners.
Colm FitzGerald started learning local SEO in 2007 and applied it directly to his own businesses from day one. He built and sold a service business in 2014, returned as an owner again in 2022, and has spent nearly two decades helping local businesses across every trade get found online. Today Local Pack Leader manages 40+ active client profiles nationwide — including our home service areas on the Central Coast.
We work with established businesses doing $300K or more in annual revenue with a verified Google Business Profile address. We don't take every client. You apply to work with us.
