Who’s getting the calls in your town?

Most of them land on two or three businesses. I’ll show you where you stand, and I only work with one business per trade per city, so if your spot’s open, it’s yours.

You’ve been down this road before

You built a website. Maybe paid someone thousands for it.

It looks good. But it doesn’t ring the phone.

So you tried buying leads. Then you hired an SEO agency. Nothing changed, and you never really knew what they were doing to your business.

Here’s what’s different this time.

See exactly where you stand

This is a real map. Each circle is a spot in town. The number is where a business shows up on Google Maps when someone searches from that spot.

This one is a local service business in Vancouver, Washington. Any local business can get the same kind of map. I’ll build yours for your city, free, no matter what you decide after.

This one’s a martial arts school in Vancouver, Washington. Maybe not your trade. Same problem: invisible online, feast-or-famine months, no way to predict when the phone would ring.

Same Google Maps search, same 25 spots, same 5 mile area. 2 of 25 spots on Mar 30, 2025. 11 of 25 on Oct 19, 2026.

Across all 5 searches checked both times: top 3 on 26% of spots, now 42%.

Leads from his website, January to November. 27 in 2024. 76 in 2025. Up 181%.

The map and the leads cover different time periods. They’re shown side by side. I’m not claiming one caused the other.

What I do

Local SEO

A page for each service you want more of. Each one says what you do, where you do it, and answers what people ask before they call.

Google Business Profile

That’s the box on Google Maps with your name, stars and phone number. I go through every part of it and get it right.

Review and citation upkeep

New reviews coming in every month, steady. And your name, address and phone the same on every site that lists you.

How it starts

Step 1

Send me my map

Name, email, company and website. That’s it.

Step 2

I review it

Where you show up, where you don’t, and who’s ahead of you.

Step 3

You get a plan

What I’d change, in what order, in plain English.

It’s just me

No team. No account manager. Just me.

I spent two years in real estate before this. When someone’s about to let a stranger into their house, they’re choosing a person they trust not to let them down. That’s the same choice someone makes scrolling Google for a local business.

Here’s the honest part. I don’t know your city, your crew, or what’s actually been costing you jobs. So tell me.

If you work with me, you have my number.

More about me

One business per trade per city

No long-term contract

Month to month. You can leave any time, so I earn it every month.

White-hat only

No black hat shortcuts that get your site penalized. No fake or bought reviews. Nothing that breaks Google’s rules.

You get my direct line, (360) 743-3390. Reach me with any issue. No junior, no ticket line. I’ll tell you what I’m doing in plain terms, every step.

Why it drops to $400

The first 4 months are the heavy part. Setting everything up, and getting other local sites to link to you. After that, the work drops off a lot. I don’t want you paying for work I don’t need to do. I still manage everything every month. There’s just less to build.

Before you ask

How is this different from buying leads?

Lead sites sell your lead to five businesses at once. I make your own business the one that shows up. You own the result, and nobody else shares it.

How much does it cost?

Month 1 is free. Then $1,148 a month for months 2 to 4, and $400 a month from month 5. Month to month, no long-term contract.

I got burned by an SEO agency before.

One person, one client per trade in each city. You’ll have my cell number. I’ll tell you what I’m doing in plain terms. No jargon.

I’m busy all day, I don’t have time for this.

You don’t need time for this part. I handle it. Your only job is to keep doing the work you do.

What do you actually do?

I make sure your business shows up when someone nearby searches for what you do, on Google and increasingly on AI tools like ChatGPT. Plain version: more of the right people find you first.
