Hey Gordon, sorry we're just now getting back to you. I was out of town on vacation and Sitejabber is my responsiblity.

That's a great question! It typically takes 2-3 months to see the complete results in terms of ranking increases on Google. However, it also depends on how well you've optimized the rest of your SEO.

There are over 200+ different factors Google looks at when ranking a local business. Business listings are just 1 of those 200+ factors. However, they are pretty powerful, accounting for about 25% of your ranking. In order to rank as well as possible though, you still need to take care of that other 75% outside of business listings, such as website optimization, online reviews, and backlinks. We have products that will help you with the other portions as well but Local Listing Ninja is just designed to help with local listings. It's an easy, inexpensive way to get started in Local SEO and it's where I always recommend people go to first when trying to rank well on Google.

Does that help?
