Local SEO is the fastest SEO strategy:
Speed depends on your current state: if your Google Business Profile is empty or poorly optimized, immediate improvements generate leads quickly.
Google Business Profile is 100 % free . Google offers no official paid version.
What is paid:
You can do everything yourself for free, but full optimization takes expertise, time, and best-practice knowledge.
Multi-location = multi-Google Business Profiles (one listing per physical location).
Strategy:
My Premium Multi-location plan is perfect for this: I handle everything for each site.

Le Local Pack (or 3-pack) is the section with 3 local results that appears above organic results. Being in the top 3 = maximum visibility.
Local Pack ranking factors:
No #1 guarantee, but a solid strategy = very good chances of being in the top 3.
