What I do
How you know it is working: each month you get a short written report on calls, form submissions and bookings from search, plus what I changed and what I am doing next.
The map results run on a different ranking system than your website. Most profiles were set up once, years ago, and left alone: wrong primary category, services blank, old photos, reviews with no replies. A competitor who works their profile every month will sit above you even with fewer reviews.
What I do
How you know it is working: calls, direction requests and website clicks from your profile, tracked month to month and reported in plain language.
What I do
How you know it is working: the new site launches with tracking on calls and forms from day one, so you can compare it against the old one in real numbers.
You send your website and three searches. Within two business days you get a written answer on where you stand and what is blocking you.
Most of what goes wrong with SEO comes from promises that should never have been made. These are the ones I do not make.
Nobody controls the ranking. Anyone who guarantees it is planning to rank you for a search nobody makes.
If the work is not producing, you should be able to leave. I would rather you did.
The person reading your audit is the person doing the work. There is no one else.
