Frequently asked questions

Local SEO timelines vary depending on your website, competition, location, current visibility, and the work required. We focus on identifying practical improvements and monitoring progress rather than promising a fixed ranking date.

There can be several reasons, including technical issues, weak or unclear service pages, competition, or a mismatch between your content and what customers are searching for. A review helps investigate which factors may be relevant to your website.

Possible factors include limited search visibility, unclear service information, a confusing visitor experience, or problems with contact options. We can investigate these areas, but the findings depend on your website and the available data.

Yes. Our positioning covers businesses across home-service industries, including HVAC, roofing, plumbing, electrical, pest control, and contracting. The recommended approach depends on each business's needs and market.

No. Our approach combines hands-on analysis with SEO tools. Tools help gather useful information, while manual review helps us interpret the findings and identify relevant priorities.

The introductory audit is offered free for a limited time. Its scope may differ from the full paid audit. We will explain the applicable terms and deliverables before proceeding.

No. Search rankings and enquiries depend on multiple factors, including competition, market demand, website quality, and implementation. We provide evidence-based recommendations rather than guaranteed rankings or lead volumes.

We can discuss implementation support for Local SEO, website development, redesign, and suitable automation projects. You can also use the recommendations independently.

The terms depend on the service you choose. We will explain the scope, pricing, and applicable commitment before you decide to proceed.

They help your company show up on Google Search and Google Maps when nearby homeowners look for your trade. They usually include Google Business Profile optimization, keyword research, service and city pages, review requests, business listings, and tracking of the calls that result.

Most home service companies start to see movement after about three to six months. Competitive cities and trades can take longer. We start with the fixes that can help fastest and report on calls so you can see progress.

Yes. A website alone does not put you on the map. Many homeowners choose from Google Maps before they open a website. Local SEO connects your site, your Google profile, your reviews and your listings.

Yes, with limits. Google tells service-area businesses to keep one profile and a service area within about two hours of driving from where they are based, and distance affects who appears on the map. We build a page for each town you really serve. See service and city pages.

No, and be careful with anyone who does. Google decides rankings and says you cannot pay for a better one. What we promise is the work: we do what we agreed, explain it, and report the results.

No. Plans are month-to-month, and you can cancel with 15 days' notice.

Yes. Start with the free audit. We will tell you honestly what is working, what is not, and whether you need us at all.

Yes. Fewer competing companies often makes it easier to show up, and a smaller town usually needs fewer pages. That is why the Starter plan exists.

We work with HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, pest control, garage door, landscaping, and general contractor and remodeler companies, and other home service trades. If your trade is not listed, ask us in the free audit.

Changes to your details can take effect within weeks. Climbing on the map takes longer, often three to six months, and depends on your town and competitors. No one can promise a position.

No. Google says there is no way to request or pay for a better local ranking.

No. Your name must match your real-world name. Adding keywords or cities can get your profile suspended.

No. If you travel to customers, you can have one service-area profile and hide your address.

Yes. You add us as a manager and can remove us at any time.

Most home service companies start to see movement after about three to six months. Competitive towns take longer.

No. Google decides, and says you cannot pay for a better ranking. We promise the work and report the results.

Distance. Google considers how far the business is from the person searching, so your position changes block by block.

No. A service-area business can rank, with one profile and the address hidden. Distance still affects who shows first.

Yes. Google says review count and rating factor into local ranking, and they help homeowners choose.

Only for towns you serve and can back up with real work. A few strong pages beat many thin ones.

Pages that are mass-produced with only the town changed can be treated as thin or spammy content. We write each one from scratch.

A service page covers one job. A city page covers that job in one town. You need both.

Not first. Service and city pages usually bring more calls sooner. A blog can help later.

Usually not. We improve what you have first, and tell you if a rebuild would help.

No. Google does not allow payment, discounts or free goods or services in exchange for a review. It can remove the reviews and restrict your profile.

No. Google does not allow selectively asking for positive reviews. We ask every customer.

There is no magic number. What helps is a steady flow of recent, genuine reviews, and enough to compare well with the top businesses near you.

We draft a calm, professional reply. A good reply shows homeowners how you treat people.

Tell us what you use after you send the form, and we will tell you how it connects.

There is no magic number. A few dozen accurate listings on the sites that matter is a better target than hundreds on sites nobody uses.

Google says it uses information from across the web, including directories, to judge how well-known a business is. Accurate listings support that, along with reviews and links.

No. We set up your listings the way a service-area business should, without publishing your home address where the site allows a service area instead.

No. A citation lists your name, address and phone number. A backlink is a link to your website. See local link building.

It is safe when the links are earned from real, relevant sources. Buying links to pass ranking credit goes against Google's spam policies, so we choose every site for relevance and quality.

The Growth and Full Service plans include 20 to 25 new links a month. On its own, local link building starts at 5 links a month.

Links build over months. They work together with your profile, reviews and pages, so expect the same three to six month window.

A citation lists your name, address and phone number. A link points to your website. See local citations.

We advise against it. Paid links can put your site at risk.

Usually not. We fix what you have first, and tell you if a rebuild would help.

The free website review checks this for you, and tells you which pages are missing.

It removes what stops you from ranking. It works best together with a complete Google Business Profile, reviews and clear service pages.

We list every change first, and we agree with you before we make it.

It is included in every plan. On its own it starts at $49 a month.

Not when they are set up carefully. We keep your real business details consistent on your Google profile and listings, and use tracking numbers where they will not cause mismatches.

We send you a report every month with your calls and leads. There is no separate dashboard to log in to.

We report the calls, directions and clicks that Google shows for your profile.

With your help. You tell us which calls turned into jobs, and we aim the work at the ones that did.

Yes. There is no cost and no card needed.

No. The findings are yours whether you hire us or not.

Your business name, website, trade and the city you serve. That is enough to start.

No. A person reviews your business.

Yes. There is no cost and no card needed.

No. We use your public profile for the audit. We only ask for manager access if you hire us.

A tool gives a score. A person tells you what matters for your business and what to fix first.

We send your findings by email first. If we do not hear back, we may call you once to check that you received them.

No. The monthly price is what you pay.

No. Plans are month-to-month. You can cancel with 15 days' notice.

You pay Meta directly for ad spend. The Full Service plan covers our management of the campaigns.

Yes. We build custom plans for several locations, many towns or special needs.

No. Google decides rankings. We promise the work and report on the calls.
