Plain English Privacy Policy
Effective Date: May 18, 2026.
We run Local Map SEO Support. We help local businesses get consistent map rankings. We do not run a data harvesting operation. When you visit localmapseosupport.com, you leave a digital footprint. Every website works this way. We want you to know exactly what we see, what we save, and what we throw away.
Trust is the foundation of local business. You trust us to optimize your Google Business Profile. You trust us to build local citations. You should trust us with your data. We hate legal jargon. You hate legal jargon. Here is the exact reality of how we handle your information.
What We Collect Directly From You
You fill out our contact form. You want help with your map presence. You hand over specific details.
- Your full name.
- Your email address.
- Your phone number.
- Your business name.
- Your physical brick-and-mortar address.
We need this information to do our jobs. We cannot audit your local search visibility without knowing where your location actually sits. We cannot check your local directories if we do not know your exact business name. We read it. We log it. We use it to reply to you.
If you hire us for ongoing optimization, we keep this data on file. We use it to track the effectiveness of our efforts. We use it to send you monthly ranking reports. We never ask for information we do not actively need.
Data Collection for Local SEO Audits
Many visitors come to us for a map ranking audit. You want to know why your competitor outranks you. You submit a request.
This requires specific data. We ask for your exact Google Maps URL. We ask for a list of your current local citations. We ask for your primary target keywords. This is business data, but it often overlaps with personal data for small business owners. We treat it all as confidential.
We run this data through our auditing tools. We look for inconsistencies in your Name, Address, and Phone Number profile. We check your local schema markup. We generate a report. We send it to you. We do not publish your audit results. We do not use your poor map rankings as a public case study without your explicit written permission.
What We Collect Automatically
You browse our site. Your browser sends us background information.
- Your IP address.
- Your browser type.
- Your device type.
- The specific pages you visit.
- Your time spent on each page.
This is standard web traffic data. It is anonymous. We cannot tie it to your personal identity unless you explicitly give us your name in a form.
Why We Use Analytics
We use Google Analytics and Google Search Console. We look at the noise. We find the signal. We make decisions based on real data.
We use analytics strictly to improve content quality. If we publish a guide on local schema markup and the average read time is twelve seconds, we know the guide failed. We rewrite it. We make it clearer. We make it actually useful for small business
