Sound familiar?
You're invisible on Google
Your competitors show up because Google trusts them more, not because they are better at what they do. An incomplete profile, inconsistent business information, and pages that never mention the cities you serve all tell Google to pick someone else. It picks whoever gave it more signals to work with. That is what we fix.
Leads fall through the cracks
Someone finds you online and calls. You miss it. They do not leave a voicemail. They move to the next result in under 30 seconds and never come back. Without an automatic follow up in place, that lead is gone for good. Most RGV businesses have no system for this.
Your website exists but Google ignores it
Most RGV business websites we audit have been live for years and rank for nothing. The site looks fine. The problem is it was never built to tell Google what you do or who you serve. No city pages. No local signals. No content that connects you to the searches your customers are actually making.
We're a local SEO agency, first and foremost
Built for RGV businesses that want to show up on Google — and stay there.
Local SEO & Google Maps for the Rio Grande Valley
When a McAllen homeowner pulls out their phone and types "roofer near me," you should be the first name they see. We get RGV businesses into the Google Map Pack and ranking for the city-specific searches their customers are actually making — and we do it month-to-month, not on a 12-month lock-in.

Build & Optimize
We build every page and your Google Business Profile with the signals Google needs: local content, schema, the right categories, consistent citations. This is the part most businesses skip, which is why their site ranks for nothing after years online.

Why RankRGV — not a national agency, not DIY
Most RGV businesses have tried one of the other two. Here's what's different.
| What matters | RankRGV Local · RGV-only | National Agency Remote · Multi-market | DIY / In-House You do it yourself |
|---|---|---|---|
| Knows the RGV market We live here. National agencies manage 100s of clients across every market. | | | Depends |
| Dedicated city & service pages Someone searching for a roofer in McAllen is ready to call. A generic page about roofing does not show up for that search. A city-specific page does. | | Sometimes | |
| Google Business Profile optimization GBP is the #1 factor for Map Pack rankings. Most agencies don't touch it. | | Sometimes | |
| Transparent monthly reporting You see exactly which keywords moved and how many calls came from search. | | Sometimes | |
| No long-term contracts We earn your business month to month. Most national agencies lock you in for 6–12 months. | | | |
| Direct communication You talk to the person doing the work — not an account manager reading from a ticket. | | | |
| Competitor research for RGV market We know which local competitors are actually ranking and why — and we target those gaps. | | | |
| Time investment from you DIY SEO is a real job. Most business owners who try it spend months doing the wrong things in the wrong order and conclude that SEO does not work. It does. The approach was just wrong. | Minimal | | |
We're a local SEO agency. So we ranked our own site first.
We launched rankrgv.com from zero this year and ranked it #3 for "local seo mcallen" — ahead of agencies who've been making that same promise for years.
If we can't rank our own site against agencies who sell the same service, we have no business ranking yours.

Common questions about local SEO in the RGV
How long does it take to see results from local SEO in McAllen?
Most McAllen businesses see their first meaningful movement in Google Maps rankings within 60–90 days. In lower-competition cities like Pharr and Mission, some categories reach the top 3 Map Pack in 30–45 days. Full organic rankings for competitive keywords typically take 3–6 months. The RGV market has weaker competition than most Texas metros — which means results come faster here than in Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio. We track and report progress monthly so you always know exactly where you stand.
How much does local SEO cost in McAllen?
Local SEO pricing in the RGV ranges from $300/month for bare-minimum Google Business Profile maintenance to $2,000+/month for full-service campaigns. RankRGV Local SEO starts at $500/month for the Visibility plan and scales to $850/month for the Domination plan — our most popular package, and what most of our active clients are on. Every plan includes GBP optimization, citations, content, rank tracking, and monthly reporting in plain English. We start with a free SEO audit so we can recommend the right package for your specific business and market. Full pricing is on the /pricing/ page.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
No — we don't lock RGV businesses into long-term contracts. We operate month-to-month because we'd rather earn your business every month with results than hold you with paperwork. Most local SEO clients stay 12+ months because rankings compound over time and the ROI grows — not because they're obligated to.
What makes RankRGV different from other McAllen marketing agencies?
RankRGV is 100% focused on the Rio Grande Valley. We don't serve clients in Dallas, Houston, or nationally — the RGV is our specific market and we know it in detail. We know which keywords move in Edinburg vs. Brownsville, which industries are underserved in Pharr, and what real competition looks like in McAllen. That market-specific knowledge isn't something a national agency can replicate.
What is included in the free SEO audit?
The free audit covers four areas: your Google Business Profile (completeness, category accuracy, photo quality, review profile), your website's technical SEO (speed, mobile performance, schema markup, indexability), your current keyword rankings (where you appear now vs. where you could rank), and your top 3 competitors (what they're doing that you're not). You get a clear, honest assessment — no pitch deck, no obligation to move forward.
Do I need local SEO if I already have a website?
Yes — having a website and being found on Google are two different things. Most McAllen business websites we audit have zero keyword rankings and zero Google Map Pack presence, despite having existed for years. A website alone doesn't generate search visibility. Local SEO is what connects your website and Google Business Profile to the specific searches your customers are making — and gets you in front of them at the exact moment they're ready to call.
Your customers are searching right now. Someone else is getting that call.
