What We Do
Win every spot on Google that actually gets calls.
When someone searches for a service like yours, Google lays the page out the same way every time. Here is the page from top to bottom, and exactly what we do to put you in every spot.
Local Services Ads own the top of the page
The first results anyone sees, with photos, reviews, and the green Google Guaranteed checkmark, and you pay per lead instead of per click. We handle everything: account setup, background check and license verification, budget and bid management, and weekly lead review. When a junk lead comes through, like a wrong number or a job outside your area, we dispute it and get that money back.
PPC text ads sit just below
Google also sells regular pay-per-click ads, which charge for every click whether it books a job or not. That is where most owners burn money running them alone, so on our first three tiers we put your budget into LSA first. On the top tier we run managed PPC and Google Maps ads too, with tight keywords, negative lists, and dedicated landing pages, so you hold every paid spot on the page.
The map pack runs on your Business Profile
The "Businesses" section with the map is where most people click, and Google fills it with the most complete, active, best-reviewed profiles. We build yours out fully: categories, services, photos, weekly posts, Q&A, and a response to every review, then keep it active month after month. An unmanaged profile slides down. A managed one climbs. Google also sells one sponsored spot in the map pack, and the top tier puts you there with Google Maps ads.
Organic results run on your website
Below the map, Google ranks websites by cross-checking your site against your citations, the listings of your business across the web. We design and build you a fast custom site with a page for every service and city you work in, then build consistent citations across the directories Google trusts. The same work feeds AI search. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, or Google's AI overview for a painter in your city, those answers are pulled from the same site content, profile, and citations, so we optimize for both at once. Rankings earned here compound, sending free leads month after month with no per-lead cost.
The Instant Call Engine gets you spot 1. The Organic Growth Engine takes the map pack and the organic results. Bundle the two and you hold all three at once. The Enterprise Search Suite adds spot 2 and the sponsored map spot, so the entire page is yours.
