For a new local business what kind of timeline are you normally seeing before ranking and calls start improving?
How long does local SEO usually take to show results?

for a new local business I would say 3-6 months is a fair expectation. You can see some movement earlier, but getting steady rankings and calls usually takes a bit longer. competition and location makes a big difference too, some areas are much easier than others.

Local SEO can start showing results once your business begins ranking in search engines. For Google Business Profile listings, it can take around 7 days for changes or updates to appear and start gaining visibility.

Its depend on the competition, but with proper SEO, you can see the results in 3-4 weeks.

Well, I am not very experienced in local seo, but when I worked on a small niche in a specific city that had good potential and very low competition, there wasn’t really any specific site targeting that niche. my site ranked there in around a month with good seo content and an emd domain, and after that, I started getting leads and calls. and sometimes ranking based on niche as well

Usually in the third month we will witness the results. If less competition, within two months.
