Talk to jobs, not rankings.

We were paying like $3K a month to an agency that mostly just sent us PDFs nobody read. Switched over about six months ago and the phone actually rings now. It's not magic, just somebody doing the boring stuff every month.

The geo grid map was the thing that sold me. I could finally see where we showed up by zip code instead of being told we were 'doing well.' Took a few months, but we're top three in most of the areas that actually matter now.

First call was basically 'this takes six to twelve months, here's what we'd do, here's what it costs.' No big promises. Honestly that's what made me sign, everybody else swore I'd be number one by spring.

I almost didn't do it, the cheap SEO guy I had was way less per month. But I was basically invisible online and it was killing me in the slow season. A year in and I'm booked into the fall. Worth the extra.

We'd been throwing money at Yelp ads and getting tire-kickers. They redid our Google profile, fixed a bunch of listings I didn't even know were wrong, and the calls coming in now are real jobs. Wish I'd done it two years ago.

Roofing is brutal after a storm, everyone's fighting for the same searches. They got our service-area pages built out and now we show up in towns we never ranked in before. Booked three full crews through the busy season.

What I liked is they didn't try to sell me ads on top of everything. Fixed the foundation first. By month four I could see the map filling in green and the quote requests followed.

I run a small electrical shop and didn't have time to figure out Google. They handle it, send a one-page report every month, and the new-customer calls went up enough that I hired a second tech.

We sell a high-ticket service so one extra job a month more than covers it. The reviews system they set up basically runs itself now, and our star rating finally matches the work we do.

Holiday lighting lives and dies by a six-week window. They had our pages and reviews ready before the season even started, and we were booked solid two months earlier than last year.

Our old site looked fine but nobody could find it. They explained the difference between a pretty site and a found one, fixed the technical stuff, and now we get found for the searches that actually book detail jobs.

Honestly I was skeptical because I'd been burned before. The difference here is I can see the geo grid every month, so I know exactly what I'm paying for instead of trusting a vibe.

We do concrete and flatwork, not exactly glamorous to search for. They built out pages for each service and town, and the estimate requests doubled compared to the year before.

I switched from a national company that treated me like account number 4,000. These guys actually know the valley, know my towns, and the local pages they wrote sound like a person, not a robot.

Dentistry is competitive online and I never wanted to deal with it. They handle the whole thing, new patient calls are up, and the monthly report is short enough that I actually read it.

We have two locations and the rankings were lopsided, great in one town, invisible in the other. They evened it out over a couple quarters and now both phones ring.

Window washing is all about being the first name people see. We weren't on the map at all before. Now we're in the top three for most of our routes and the off-season isn't so scary anymore.

What sold me was the AI search angle. My kids ask ChatGPT everything now, and they showed me how to get my business cited there too. Felt like getting ahead of something instead of chasing it.

We expanded into a new market up north and they had us ranking there inside a few months. The same playbook they ran here just worked again. That repeatability is what I pay for.

I came in through a What's Up 208 sponsorship and added the SEO. Getting the print, the email, and the Google side all pulling together is the first time my marketing actually felt connected.

Slow and steady. There was no overnight miracle and they told me there wouldn't be. But every month the report shows a little more green, and a year in we're the obvious choice in our town.

They fixed citations across dozens of sites I'd never even heard of, all pointing to the right phone number finally. Sounds boring but the calls that used to leak to a dead line come through now.

We're a barbershop, not exactly a Google business in my head. But half my chairs sat empty on weekdays. They got us showing up when people search barber near me and now the new guys are booked too. Spent way less than the radio ad I was about to buy.

Custom homes is a long sales cycle so I figured SEO wouldn't do much. But the people calling now already looked at our work and our reviews before they picked up the phone. Closed two builds last quarter that found us on Google. That's real money for us.

Up here everybody knows everybody so I figured word of mouth was enough. Then a chain outfit moved in and started eating the insurance jobs online. These guys got us back on top for our own town inside a few months. Phone hasn't stopped since the first snow.

Had a marketing company out in California charging me two grand a month and I couldn't tell you what they actually did. Switched, and the new outfit showed me the map of where I ranked on day one. Booked solid through the summer for the first time in years.

Park City is all second homes and the budgets are real, but so is the competition. I was invisible past my own neighborhood. Six months in we show up across the whole resort area and it's the design-build jobs coming in now, not just mow and go.

New clinic, nobody knew us. The old SEO guy had us on page three and kept telling me to be patient. These folks rebuilt the whole profile and now we're the first vet people see when they move to town. Added a second exam room this spring.

Remodels and additions are my bread and butter, but I was buying tire-kicker leads off some site that cost me a fortune. They built out pages for the actual work I do and now the calls are people in my area with real projects. Dropped the lead site entirely.

Three dentists on my block and we all looked the same online. The new patient calls were going to whoever showed up first, which wasn't me. Took about five months, but now it is. The monthly report is one page and I actually read it.

Portland is brutal, the big franchises buy up everything. I was paying for clicks and getting nowhere. They fixed a pile of listings that still had my old number on them and built real service pages. The after-hours calls alone pay for the whole thing now.
