How do you rank? How are your customer reviews?
We help position businesses online to attract new local customers. We focus on helping service based businesses that target high-value local customers, such as law firms, chiropractors, and concrete contractors, etc. stand out on Google’s local and organic search results so you get more calls & make more money.
Each business has different needs. So to get a better understanding of how we can bet help you, please take 5 minutes to fill out this questionnaire. Once we have a chance to review your info, we’ll either email you back with a link to our calendar so we can arrange a call, or we’ll tell you we can’t help. On the call we’ll go into deeper discussion about what exactly you want to achieve and why so we can best help you. Then we’ll usually create a video screencast walking you through our findings and suggestions, and then we can provide you with a few options and quotes.
Standing out atop Google requires work on a lot of areas – your website, your online business listings, your customer reviews, links to your website, and more.
Some of our work is foundational, one-time work, whereas the next-level, higher-payoff steps require ongoing effort. After squaring away the one-time work, like optimizing your Google Places page, fixing and building citations, and tuning up your website, we’ll work with you on an ongoing basis to build links, get customer reviews reviews, keep spammy businesses from taking customers, add Facebook posts, etc. We’ll also create great content and add articles to your website each month so we keep it fresh and are able to reach more customers.
Ultimately our formula for getting you in front of the right prospects starts with a properly built website, and then each month we work on adding great content + getting links to your website (think of these as votes for you that build trust with Google) + we’ll help you get customer reviews. And as long as we can do this better than your local competitors, you’ll soon be standing out and getting more calls.
No. No one can. Anyone guaranteeing rankings is either lying to you or is sadly misinformed. Google constantly tweaks their rankings, and your competitors are always vying for the first page of Google, so it’s an ever-changing marketplace. What we can guarantee is our time-tested process for getting our clients on the first page of Google.
Yes. Be aware: some keywords will take more time and effort to rank for than others. Also, Google doesn’t like to hand out monopolies, so it’s not likely you’ll rank for every keyword you choose. However, it is always good for us to understand your goals. If you aren’t sure what keywords are relevant to your business and worth ranking for, don’t sweat it; we perform keyword research for all our clients.
Results vary and are dependent on a number of variables but, generally speaking, our clients see improved results in terms of rankings, referrals, traffic, leads, and reviews within the first 3 to 6 months, and continue to see growth from there. FYI: we do not require any long-term contracts, but we do find that the longer a client works with us, the better the results. All agreements are month-to-month – that’s how confident we are that you’ll love working with us.
We mainly work with service based businesses who sell high-value services. For instance we do lots of work with estate planning attorneys, divorce attorneys, concrete contractors, waterproofing contractors, chiropractors, gutter companies, cleaning companies, and other small businesses who are looking for local customers. We typically serve as the main marketing arm for most of our clients and handle all their online efforts, so the business owners can focus on their main priorities.
That depends on how much work you’d like us to do every month. Our typical small-business-owner client is in the $1000-$2500/month range. When you fill out our questionnaire, please let us know what’s a practical for you to invest on a monthly basis, and we’ll send along a proposal.
All work is done on a month-to-month basis. We don’t have any contracts that you need to commit to. We just ask for payment at the beginning of the month via credit card to do the work.
It depends on the industry. If you’re in a low competition market, you may be good with just a short 3-6 month SEO push. However, keep in mind if you have competitors who are also trying to reach customers online, to stay competitive with them requires regular work. So if you are in any sort of competitive niche, like say law or contractors, or if you’re in a big city with lots of competitors, then on-going SEO work is advisable.
For the most part we can handle 99% of the work. However there are occasional things we may need you to assist on, which include:
That’s pretty much it. We know you’re busy, so we’ll take care of things without constantly needing to bother you.
We understand that you’re busy with other important work, so we promise not to take up too much of your time. We won’t fill your inbox or voicemail with messages every day. Instead you can expect an email from us 2-3 times each month. We’ll share what we’ve been working on, update you on how we’re looking on Google, remind you to ask customers for reviews, share ideas, etc. And of course, if you ever have a question or concern, feel free to message us or schedule a call. We’re always happy to talk.
