NSYGHT is an Austin, Texas SEO agency for local service businesses, founded in 2004 as CTX Marketing and rebranded as NSYGHT in 2012. We handle Google Business Profile management, local SEO, and AI search visibility on month-to-month terms, with GBP management from $399 per month and full SEO from $799 per month.
NSYGHT is an SEO and AI search agency based in Austin, Texas. We work with service businesses nationwide, but Austin is home, and the Austin market is where we started. If you run a local business here and your phone is not ringing from Google, this page is for you.
Austin is a hard market to rank in. The metro keeps growing, new competitors open every month, and a lot of them are spending real money on marketing. The businesses that win local search here are not the ones with the flashiest website. They are the ones with the strongest Google Business Profile, the most consistent reviews, and pages that clearly match what people in Austin are actually searching for.
Month to month. No long-term contracts. You stay because the work is performing, not because you are locked in. Every month you see exactly where you rank, what is driving leads, and what we are doing about it.
How Local Search Works in Austin
When someone in Austin searches for a plumber, a dentist, a roofer, or a lawyer, Google shows a map with three businesses at the top. That map, the local pack, is where most of the calls come from. Google ranks it on three things: how relevant your business is to the search, how close you are to the person searching, and how prominent your business is online.
You cannot change where you are located. You can control relevance and prominence. That means the right Google Business Profile categories and services, a steady flow of real reviews, consistent business information across the web, and a website with a dedicated page for each service you want to be found for. That is the core of our local SEO work.
Austin's size matters here too. A business in North Austin can rank well for searchers nearby and barely show up for someone in South Austin or Round Rock. We check your visibility from different points across your service area, not just from your office, so we know where you are winning and where you are invisible.
Serving the Whole Austin Metro
Austin search does not stop at the city limits. Customers in Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Leander, and Kyle search the same way Austin customers do, but the map pack they see depends on where they are standing. A business that ranks well in downtown Austin can be invisible in Round Rock, and the reverse is just as common.
That is why we track visibility across your real service area, not from one point on a map. Grid reports show exactly where you show up and where you do not, so effort goes where the missing calls actually are: a stronger Google Business Profile, better service area settings, reviews from customers in those areas, and content that reflects the places you actually work.
How to choose an SEO company in Austin
- Ask for real results. Rankings and calls from businesses like yours, not vanity metrics.
- Check the terms. Long contracts protect the agency, not you. Every NSYGHT package is month to month.
- Know who does the work. At NSYGHT, Don Phelps is directly involved in client strategy.
- Expect plain reporting. You should always know where you rank, what changed, and what is next.
- Listen for honesty. A good agency will tell you when a service is unlikely to pay off in your market.
AI Search Is Already Here in Austin
More and more people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews for recommendations before they ever look at a map. "Who is a good roofer in Austin" or "best family dentist near Cedar Park" now gets a written answer that names specific businesses. Getting your business into those answers is what we call generative engine optimization, and it is built on top of the same local SEO foundation. Our NSYGHT Stack covers SEO, GEO, AEO, and AIO in that order, because the foundation has to come first.
