The problem
Your best customers are searching for you right now. They're finding your competitor.
Invisible on Google Maps
You're ranked #23 for "your service + your city." Nobody scrolls that far. 78% of clicks go to the top 3 - and you're not in them.
Competitors eating your calls
The shop across town isn't better than you. Their Google profile is. Every month you wait, their review lead compounds.
No strategy, just hope
You tried posting more, maybe boosted a Facebook ad. Local rankings don't respond to hope - they respond to ~30 specific signals.
The fix
Audit. Optimize. Dominate.
Three phases, executed in a specific order. This is the same process behind every case study below.
Audit
We map every ranking signal: your Google Business Profile, citations, reviews, on-page SEO - and the same for your top 3 competitors. You see exactly why they outrank you.
days 1-7
Optimize
We fix in priority order: profile rebuild, citation cleanup, review system launch, service pages. Every fix is logged in your report - you see the work, not just invoices.
days 7-45
Dominate
Rankings climb into the map pack, calls follow. We defend the position, expand to more keywords, and report movement monthly in plain English.
days 45-90+
Results
Numbers, not adjectives.
Client words
What owners say after 90 days
“I used to hand out flyers at the gym. Now I turn people away on weekends.”
Engagement
Audit first. Quote second. No contracts.
Every engagement is scoped to your market after a free audit, priced flat per month, and cancelable anytime with 15 days' notice - you keep everything we built.

02
Market audit + strategy call
we scope what winning takes
03
Flat monthly quote
month to month, cancel anytime
We don't publish flat rates because a barbershop in a small town and an injury firm in Tampa are not the same job. Instead: get your free ranking report, we audit your market and competition, and you get a flat monthly quote scoped to what winning actually takes. No contracts either way - every engagement is month to month.
