We run a fixed set of questions your customers ask, for your services and service area, across the major AI tools each month. We record whether you are mentioned, where you appear and which competitors show up instead.

Local SEO is the work of ranking a business in Google's map pack and local search results for people in its service area. It covers the Google Business Profile, location-focused website pages, reviews and local listings.

The map pack is driven mainly by relevance, distance and prominence. You improve your chances with a complete and active Google Business Profile, the right categories, steady reviews, accurate listings and a website that clearly covers your services and service area.

For the towns that matter most to your revenue, yes. A dedicated, genuinely useful page for each service area gives Google and AI tools a clear signal that you work there. Thin copy-and-paste pages do not help, so we write each one properly.

A Google Business Profile, formerly Google My Business, is the free listing that shows your business on Google Maps and in the local map pack. It includes your categories, services, hours, photos, reviews and contact details.

Choose the right categories, fill out every section of your profile, keep it active with posts and photos, earn steady reviews, keep your name, address and phone number consistent across the web, and back it up with a website that clearly covers your services and service area.

Yes. Google supports service-area businesses that travel to customers. You can hide your address and list the areas you serve instead, and still rank in the map pack.

A typical contractor website takes a few weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on the number of pages and how quickly content and approvals come together.

Not if it is done properly. We map every existing page to its new home and set up redirects, so the rankings and links you have already earned carry over.

Yes. We write the service and area pages for search and AI, and work with you on the details only you know, such as your services, guarantees and service area.

Clear pages for each service, plain answers to common customer questions, accurate business details, and structured data that tells AI tools exactly who you are, what you do and where you work.

Many contractors run both. Local Services Ads charge per lead and usually appear at the very top of the page, while Google Search Ads give more control over which services and searches you show up for. We recommend a mix based on your trade, area and budget.

It depends on your market, trade and goals. We start with a budget you are comfortable with, track cost per lead and cost per booked job, and scale what works.

Yes. Ads stop the moment you stop paying. SEO and AEO build visibility that keeps working, and over time they lower how much you need to spend on ads.

Local Services Ads are Google ads for local service businesses that usually appear at the very top of search results, above regular ads and the map pack. Verified businesses show the Google Verified badge, and you pay per lead instead of per click.

You pay for each lead, such as a phone call or message, not for clicks. The cost per lead varies by trade and market. You set a weekly budget. Google reviews leads and automatically credits ones it finds invalid, such as spam, so keeping your job types and service areas accurate matters.

The Google Verified badge, which replaced Google Guaranteed and Google Screened in October 2025, requires passing Google's verification checks for your category and location. These typically include business and owner background checks plus license and insurance checks where your trade requires them. We help you prepare and submit everything.

Google ranks Local Services Ads using your bid and your overall profile quality: how responsive you are to leads, how relevant your services and business bio are to the search, whether message and booking leads are turned on, and your rating, number of reviews, response time, photos and completed verification. Answering leads quickly and earning steady reviews are two of the biggest levers.

Yes, when they are used for the right jobs. Meta ads work well for seasonal offers, maintenance plans, replacements, financing promotions and retargeting. They are less suited to emergency jobs, where Google Search and Local Services Ads usually perform better.

They do different jobs. Google ads capture people who are already searching. Meta ads create demand and bring back past visitors. Many home service businesses use both, with budget weighted toward Google for urgent services.

Strong Google reviews, a credible website with project photos and warranties, dedicated pages for replacements, repairs and storm damage, and ads that can be switched on quickly after severe weather.
