Narrow advice on one thing: why the map pack shows somebody else in the neighborhoods you drive through every day.
From $497
Map placement is mostly distance, relevance, and how well your public record holds together. A business three towns over can still outrank you locally if its categories match the search better and its listing data agrees everywhere. Fix the category, the service wording, and the mismatched records, and the map has a reason to move you up.
This engagement runs a monthly geo-grid across your service area, rewrites categories and service entries in buyer language, and checks whether your on-page details match your profile, all for a flat $497 with no setup fee.
This engagement stays on search placement and nothing else. Each month we run a geo-grid across your service area for the terms that matter to your trade, then read it with you: which pins sit in the top three, which sit past ten, and what the pattern says about where your record is thin.
Between grids we work the inputs. Primary category gets tested against the jobs you want. Secondary categories get added or removed. Service entries get rewritten in buyer words. Your site's location and service pages get reviewed for the on-page pieces that support the profile: title tags, headings, embedded map, matching name, address, and phone. Where a directory record still carries an old suite number or a tracking phone number, we list it and hand you the correction.
You also see whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Grok, and Perplexity name your business when someone asks for a company like yours, and whether the details they repeat match your profile. That check runs every 30 days beside the grid.
What this is not: it is not a full program with content, posts, and review replies handled for you. If you want the publishing done, that lives under Local Marketing Consulting. This page is advice and diagnosis on placement only.
Plumbing and electrical companies whose phone traffic tracks directly with map pack position are the right fit here, especially when someone already posts and replies but nobody can read a grid and explain why placement moved.
Think of the plumbing shop whose phone rings when it sits in the top three for a neighborhood. Your phone rings when you sit in the top three for a neighborhood and goes quiet when you slide to seven. You can feel the difference in a week and you cannot explain it.
It fits owners who already have somebody handling posts and reviews but nobody who can read a grid and say what to change. You want the diagnosis, not another pair of hands.
It is a poor fit if you have never verified the profile or if two listings for the same address are fighting each other. Duplicates and unverified listings need cleanup first — the free audit will flag both.
Work begins with the free audit that sets a baseline grid, then repeats in 30-day cycles: a fresh grid, a short call, and a written fix list, billed at a flat $497 monthly with no contract.
The free audit comes first and sets the baseline grid. Without a before, nothing later proves anything.
Month one is diagnosis. We map your current placement, compare your category and service setup against the businesses that outrank you in specific pins, and write down what is different.
After that it is a 30-day loop: fresh grid, short call, updated fix list. You or your team make the changes; we check the next grid to see whether the pins moved and adjust the recommendation.
Flat monthly rate, no contract, no setup fee, cancel anytime. Every grid you have paid for stays yours.
