Mapesia

Based in Perthes, France, Mapesia is a small team (1-10 people) specialising in local SEO and Google Maps visibility. The agency works with small businesses, freelancers, and other agencies looking for a tailored, local approach to search visibility rather than broad national SEO. Its stated focus is helping local professionals appear in the top local search and Maps results so that nearby prospects can find them and convert into calls, visits, or appointments. The service process follows a defined sequence: an audit of the client's existing Google My Business listing, local directory citations, existing local pages, and competitor positioning, used to identify keyword opportunities by sector and area. This is followed by creation or optimisation of the Google My Business profile and the development of geolocated local pages on the client's website, including unique content, optimised tags, and structured data intended to clarify the business's activity and service area for Google. Mapesia also sets up a review management strategy, covering the collection of new client reviews and responses to existing feedback, aimed at reinforcing online credibility and supporting local rankings. Ongoing work includes a reporting dashboard tracking Google Maps positions, website traffic, calls, and direction requests, with the strategy adjusted based on these results. Pay-per-click services are also listed among the agency's offerings.
