I’m currently taking on a few new service-based businesses as I refine my process, so I’m offering a lower introductory rate in exchange for fresh testimonials. I also work with one service per city to keep results clean and avoid conflicts.
I optimize Google Business Profiles so local customers actually find you. Most profiles sit untouched while competitors get all the visibility, I fix that with strategic optimization, consistent content, and competitive positioning.
What sets me apart: I only work with one client per service category per city, giving you my full focus and zero competition from other clients.

FAQs
I specialize exclusively in local SEO for service businesses, so this is what I do best. Big agencies spread thin across multiple services and treat local SEO like an afterthought. Plus, I guarantee exclusivity - I won't work with your competitors in your city.
Service-based local businesses: HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, contractors, home service providers, and professional services. Basically any business that needs customers to find them when searching locally.
Most clients see improved visibility within 2-4 weeks. Google takes 7-14 days to index changes, then rankings improve as I add consistent content and optimization. Local SEO is faster than traditional SEO because the competition pool is smaller.
Both. You can hire me for a one-time optimization (great for getting your foundation solid), or we can work together monthly so I continuously improve your rankings and keep you ahead of competitors.
Yes, you'll need to grant me manager access so I can make optimizations, post content, and monitor performance. You remain the owner and can revoke access anytime.
Very minimal. After our initial kickoff call, I handle everything. I'll send you monthly reports and may occasionally ask for a photo or quick input, but otherwise you can focus on running your business while I handle the visibility side.
