There isn't one, but there is a constraint: one business per account. We do the first week free because a before/after ranking report is more convincing than any sales pitch, and because owners who see results stay. If you don't, you keep every improvement and owe nothing.
You create (or claim) a free Google Business Profile and verify it — by postcard, phone, or video, depending on your business type. That gets you on the map. Getting into the top 3, where the customers are, is the harder part: it takes a complete profile, steady reviews, consistent listings, and ongoing activity. We handle both the getting-on and the getting-up.
"Near me" isn't a keyword you add to your profile, Google translates it into 'businesses of this category, closest and most credible to the searcher right now.' What you can influence: a precisely set map pin and address, the right primary and secondary categories, complete hours (including holidays), and strong activity signals like reviews and photos. We tune all of these so that when someone three blocks away searches, you're eligible to be one of the three answers.
Ask at the right moment, make it effortless, and never buy or fake them. The right moment is right after a good experience, at checkout, after a completed job, in a follow-up message. Effortless means a direct review link or QR code, not 'find us on Google.' We set that system up for you, keep it running weekly, and draft owner responses to every review — because how you reply is visible to every future customer, and review signals are a known ranking factor.
A profile alone can rank, and for some businesses it's enough to start. But a fast website with your services, area, and proper structure strengthens the 'relevance' and 'prominence' signals and captures customers who click through. During the trial we'll tell you plainly whether your website is helping, hurting, or missing
Usually one of four reasons: your Google Business Profile isn't verified; your categories don't match what people search; your name, address, and phone number differ across the web, so Google isn't confident where you are; or competitors simply have stronger signals: more reviews, fresher photos, more complete profiles. Your free-trial audit identifies which of these applies to you, in writing, in the first three days.
They answer different problems. Ads buy immediate visibility for as long as you keep paying, useful for launches and slow seasons. Local SEO builds an asset: a profile and presence that keep producing calls and walk-ins without a per-click bill. Most storefronts get the best economics from organic map visibility first, then use ads selectively for extra reach. If ads make sense for your situation, we'll say so, including 'not yet.'
