Hello, I’m Duane Baumgartner, CEO and Founder here at City Ranked.

Today I want to introduce you to our GPS-SEO software. This software has helped hundreds of service businesses just like yours scale their lead generation online by sending very specific signals to search engines like Google to help them understand your business’s service offerings, where you provide these services, and even which of your Google Business Profiles services these areas.

To understand our GPS-SEO software, I’m going to take you all the way back to 2011 when I started City Ranked. Back then I had this idea that service area businesses such as plumbers, HVAC contractors, landscaping, pest control, roofers, and other service area businesses that deliver their services to home owners and businesses shouldn’t be limited to ranking in their own neighborhoods and cities if they could or did serve people in adjacent cities, so I set out on testing a revolutionary idea for the time with a few of our customers; and guess what…the idea worked; it worked really well.

So well that the first two customers I tested it on grew at such a fast rate, they were both acquired and sold within a few years of us installing our software on their websites and running their digital marketing. 

The first, a local pest control company here in the Pacific Northwest, grew from $800,000 to over $5,000,000 in revenue, in just 6 years…all with zero paid advertising. The second company, based in the Southwest, was sold a few years later with very similar results. Fast forward to today, we’ve successfully helped many hundreds of businesses rank in some of the toughest of markets, places like the five boroughs of New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, and many others. This software also works on smaller markets.

The premise behind our GPS-SEO software is pretty simple. We add pages to your website with very specific connections to Google’s Maps API, mixed with some schema that we have structured in a very specific way, a website hierarchy that supports your services, with hyper local content to communicate the areas that your business serves…even down to the Google Business Profile that serves that specific area…helping your business rank organically and in local search results.

In the beginning, this was a monumental task for us to implement this strategy on a website, taking up to 200 hours to implement for just one website. Fast forward to today, where we have invested well over a million dollars developing this software, streamlining our launch process, implementing automation with the use of artificial intelligence, we can now deploy the same software, in most cases, in a fraction of the time it used to take us.

This software works for websites that have been well developed, but struggle to rank in adjacent cities, counties, or even States. We’ve proven it since 2011. Some of the world’s largest companies in the service area verticals use our GPS-SEO on their websites to rank their businesses hyper-locally, and many privately owned major brands use our software and services to accelerate their growth….and now you can too.

We are now offering our GPS-SEO software as a stand-alone product, or if you feel our digital marketing services are right for you, we include it as part of our ongoing marketing packages.

City Ranked has been recognized many times over with industry awards and accolades. Most recently, we were recognized in 2023 and 2024 as one of the fastest-growing privately owned companies in America by Inc. Magazine, and even won recognition as Most Valuable on an entrepreneurial reality show called The Blox.
