The local 3-pack is the new Main Street

Three blocks away, someone just searched for what you sell.

Did your shop come up in the top three? Or did the new place that opened last quarter show up first?

The local 3-pack on Google is where most "near me" searches end. We help you stand on it.

Common questions

The short version of what people ask first.

Is this another SEO tool?

No. SEO tools dump charts and walk away. Balthia is a dashboard plus a person — and at the Storefront tier, the person does the work for you. See how it works.

Do you work with chains?

Not yet. Independent shops only. The whole product is built around the businesses that compete on hospitality and craft, not on PR budget.

What if I'm in a small town?

That's exactly who this is for. Local rank matters more in places where word-of-mouth and "near me" searches do most of the work.

How long until I see results?

For Storefront, the guarantee is top-3 local-pack on 3+ keywords by month 3. In practice, GBP fixes show movement in week 2 and citation cleanup compounds by week 6. Operator follows the same arc — you're just driving instead of us.

What if I already have an SEO agency or marketing person?

Then you probably don't need us. Balthia is built for owners who don't have someone in that role and don't want to hire one. If your current setup is working, keep it. If it isn't, we can talk.

Do I need a website to use Balthia?

No. Plenty of our shops only have a Google Business Profile and an Instagram. The local-rank work happens on Google, not on your site. A website helps but isn't required.

Will you guarantee rankings?

Storefront includes a top-3 local-pack guarantee on 3+ keywords by month 3. Operator does not — at that tier, you're driving, and the dashboard tells you exactly what to do next. See how the guarantee works on the pricing page.

When can I sign up?

We're onboarding our first 50 shops. Request your free local-rank audit and we'll reach out the same week.
