Why PostgreSQL for this
For anything with a physical location, the map pack is worth more than position one organic. It sits above everything, carries reviews and a phone number, and a large share of searches never scroll past it.
PostgreSQL is strongest at it handles far more workload than teams expect, with one operational model. For local seo that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: genuine analytical workloads past a certain scale belong in a warehouse. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Every engagement opens with a measurement: the cycle time, the cost per transaction, or the error rate we are being asked to move.
We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions
How do I get into the map pack?
Proximity, relevance and prominence. You cannot change where you are, so the work is category accuracy, complete profile data, review velocity and consistent citations.
How many reviews do we need?
Enough to be credible against the competitors already ranking locally, which varies by city and category. Recency and response rate matter as much as raw count.
We have twelve branches. Does each need a page?
Yes, and each needs genuinely different content, local staff, local services, local landmarks. Twelve near-identical pages compete with each other and none of them wins.
Alternatives for local seo
Same capability, different stack. Each page states its own trade-off.
