How does the service work?
Signal Boost has a proprietary system that strengthens brand presence and relevance using a syndication style process with methods like iframes and embeds, along with their geo location system, to build locally targeted impressions- not unlike those created by links, blog posts, bookmarks, ppc ads, etc. Similar to how geo-fencing works.
These geo targeted assets and impressions work similar to strengthen the brand through increasing relevance and prominence in their city, thus making it the authority in google's eyes. This results in improved keyword rankings and expanded proximity.
The longer it runs, the more assets are built to continually strength and lift the brand, while also helping prevent competitors from taking over.

No dangerous links or spam

What happens if multiple clients target the same keyword in the same area?
Google's algorithm ultimately decides the ranking. However, we advise Umbrella members to limit clients to a maximum of two competing businesses in the exact same niche within a tight radius (e.g., four miles) to ensure ethical practices and maximize effectiveness for each client.
Can the service area be smaller than 8x8 miles?
Yes, the service area can be adjusted to be smaller than 8x8 miles. Reducing the grid size can help generate results faster and improve local ranking performance within a more focused area.
