What the work covers
Local search, looked after by our team
Four things decide where your home shows up when a family nearby searches. We work on each.
Your site, built for searches close by. We give every service and every obituary a separate page. Each one loads quickly on a phone and carries the facts Google reads: your name, town, hours and what you offer.
See our websitesRecent reviews lift you on the map. Google favors homes with steady new reviews. A request reaches each family in the days after the funeral.
How reviews workAI assistants now answer the question a family used to type into Google. They quote sites that state facts plainly, so we write yours with services, prices, hours and town spelled out.
Directories that agree with Google. Your name, address and number should read alike on Bing, Apple Maps and Yelp. We find the listings that differ and correct them.
Most families meet you on Google first
At two in the morning, a family sees your hours, photos, reviews and a call button long before your site loads. When the hours say closed at five, or the newest photo dates from 2016, they scroll on to the next home. We keep yours current, every month.
Hours families can trust
We set your hours to how you really work, including open 24 hours when a director answers at night, and holiday changes ahead of time.
Photos of your building
Send us pictures of the chapel, the lounge, the arrangement office and the parking lot. We add them, so a family knows the building before the visitation.
Posts that show you're open
We post your news on the profile: an evening on pre-planning, holiday hours, a service of remembrance.
Each service listed clearly
Cremation, burial, pre-planning and every other service you offer, listed so each search matches.
Family searches
Four searches families make before they call
A family usually searches more than once before picking up the phone. These are the four searches we work on for your home, and what each one needs to find.
Asking an AI assistant
Named in the answer AI gives
Someone in the family asks ChatGPT which funeral home in town to call. The answer draws on pages it can read: who you are, what you offer, where you are. We write yours so it can quote them.
Comparing reviews
Three homes on the map, three ratings
On the map a family sees three homes, each with stars and a count. Recent reviews with a reply weigh more, with families and with Google. Yours grow after every service.
Looking for prices
The cremation price search
82.4% of families lean toward a home that shows its prices online. A packages page answers the cremation search with a number, and we make sure Google finds it.
Searching a name
The obituary, found from a phone
Friends type a name into Google to find the service time. Every obituary lives on your site at its own address, so that search lands with you rather than on a news site. It opens fast on a phone, with your call button at the top.
What's included
What we keep current each month
Local search is part of the monthly plan, not a separate contract. We set it up in your first two weeks, then keep at it every month. Visits from search cost nothing per click, unlike ads.
Set up, verified and looked after by our team.
- New hours, a new photo, a post: send it to us and we put it on Google for you.
- Other listings checked monthly. Bing, Apple Maps and Yelp kept matching your Google details.
- A tracking number on the listing shows the calls it brings.
Your site written for the searches families make.
- Cremation, burial and pre-planning pages, each written for its own search.
- Obituaries and service times live on your own site, where the searches land.
What we did this month, and what came in.
- Calls, forms and new reviews counted, with what we changed and what comes next.

What funeral directors say
Walter D.Family-owned home 3 → 1vendors to callWe canceled three vendors. The website, obituaries and reviews now sit with one team that picks up the phone.
Carmen P.Cremation provider 1 minuteto the first replyFamilies used to reach voicemail at 2 a.m. These days a text reaches them within the minute, and I read the details over coffee.
Terrence M.Third-generation home 11pre-planning meetings, month oneOur pre-planning list sat untouched for years. The follow-up texts booked eleven meetings in month one.
Gwen H.Two-location home 0paper contractsArrangements used to mean a stack of paper. Families now sign the contract and put down the deposit on their phones.
Anil R.Home and crematory 31 → 104Google reviewsEach family hears from us about a review after the service ends. Our Google reviews went from 31 to just over a hundred in twelve months.
Marisol K.Rural funeral home 2 weeksto a new websiteOur old site went up in 2014. A fortnight after we spoke, a new one was live, with every obituary carried over.
Questions about SEO
SEO questions, answered by our team
What owners ask before handing over search. Type a word such as map or obituaries to find the answer.
6 questions
How do I get my funeral home into the Google map results?
Google fills the three map spots by distance, relevance and how well known a home is. We work on the last two: a full, current Business Profile, matching listings elsewhere, steady new reviews, and a site page for each service.
Will AI search tools mention my funeral home?
They can once your site and profile state plainly who you are, what you offer and where you are. We write both that way.
Do you look after our Google Business Profile?
Yes. We keep the home's Google Business Profile current: hours, holiday changes, photos, services and posts. You send news and pictures when you have them, and we make the edits and do the posting.
Do obituaries help our funeral home show up in search?
Yes. People search the name of someone who died to find the service time. An obituary on your own site brings that search to your home, and the tribute wall keeps them there.
How soon does SEO work for a funeral home?
Profile fixes, such as correct hours and new photos, show on Google within days. Climbing the map is slower: expect a few months while reviews and pages add up.
How much does SEO cost?
Search work comes with the monthly plan. The price comes from one free 30-minute conversation. Month to month, no setup fee.
