Birmingham SEO built for the Map Pack and the calls that follow.

The price follows the work: how many service pages the plan needs, how much profile and listing repair, and how many towns the service area covers. A one-location plumber with a handful of repairs can sit near $1,300 a month. A company with several trades and a thin site needs more pages and profile work, which moves it toward $3,000.

The early technical work usually shows inside 30 days, while local and long-tail rankings tend to take 60 to 90 days. The report counts calls from the first month, so you can watch the trend before the rankings settle.

The usual agreement starts with six months, then runs month to month on 30 days’ notice. Local rankings take time to build, so the first term gives the pages and profile room; after that, 30 days’ notice is enough to stop.

Google decides the order of the Map Pack, and no agency controls it. Lithium’s job is to make the profile, service pages and listings complete, then report which calls followed.

The same retainer covers it. Pages get direct answers near the top, structured data and one version of the business name and phone number across the site, which gives an AI tool something consistent to quote. Lithium never promises a mention in an AI answer; the report stays on calls and leads.
