You are paying a retainer and you cannot name what was done last month.
The report is a ranking screenshot. It does not tell you whether the phone rang.
Nobody can tell you what happens next month, because there is no plan — only activity.
Local search is not one job, it is four that depend on each other. Run one without the others and the work stalls. This is the sequence, and it is the same sequence on every account.
Business profile, categories, service areas, hours, and the technical state of the site. Nothing else works until these are right, and they are almost never right.
A page for each service you actually sell, in each area you actually serve. Written to be read by a customer, structured to be understood by a search engine.
A review request that runs on its own, responses that get written, and the listings that carry your name checked against each other. Slow, unglamorous, and the thing that moves the needle.
Call tracking, form handling, and what happens in the ninety seconds after someone finds you. Traffic that does not convert is a cost, not a result.
What changed, what broke, and the ordered list of what gets done this month.
Pages written, listings corrected, technical fixes shipped. The bulk of the retainer.
Calls, forms, and search visibility pulled together against the plan you approved.
One call. What we did, what it moved, what we recommend next — and you sign off.
The amber step is the one most agencies skip. It is a person, on a call, answering questions — not an automated email with a dashboard link.
Calls, form submissions, and the searches you appeared for. Every figure traces back to a source you have your own login for. If a number cannot be checked, it does not go in the report.
You also get the plan for next month in the same document, so the two are never separated.
Ask for a sample reportThere are no logos on this page and no testimonials, because we have not earned them yet. The case studies will go here when there are real ones, with the client's permission and the numbers they agreed to share.
What we can offer instead: a walkthrough of your current search presence before you pay anything, a sample report showing exactly what you would receive, and the scope in writing.
Start with the walkthrough+ $1,250 onboarding · one primary market
+ $2,250 onboarding · county or broader
Both prices are starting points, not fixed quotes — scope varies with the number of services and areas. We will put the final figure in writing before you commit to anything.
We go through your current search presence, tell you what we would do first, and send it to you in writing. If we are not the right fit, we will say that too.
