Ten pieces do the work of those five gates. They're grouped below the way the plans are, so you can see where each one starts. None of them are dashboards you'll never open.

Your listing filled in properly, your review count climbing, and your name consistent everywhere people check.

01 · Your Google profile

The listing is the storefront. We keep it stocked.

Categories and service areas filled in properly, hours right, photos current, questions answered, and a review count that keeps climbing. This is the half of local search you're allowed to move.

Same shop, same crew, ninety days apart. Nothing about the work changed.

02 · What “optimized” actually means

Everybody says they optimize your profile. Here is the actual list.

There's no secret to it. Google gives you a set of fields, ranks you partly on how completely and accurately they're filled in, and almost nobody fills them in. We do, and then we keep them current.

Categories

One primary, the right secondary ones. This is the single biggest thing deciding which searches you show up in, and most shops picked one in a hurry years ago.

Services, listed one by one

“Water heater replacement,” not “plumbing.” Each one is a phrase somebody types. If it isn't on your profile, you're not in that result.

Service areas

Every town you actually drive to, named. Leaving them blank quietly caps how far your listing reaches.

Hours, including holidays

“Closed now” is the fastest way to lose a call to the next listing. If you take after-hours work, the profile has to say so.

Photos, added regularly

Real jobs, trucks, crew. A profile that hasn't had a photo in two years looks like a business that closed.

Questions and posts

Public questions answered instead of left hanging, and a short post when there's something worth saying. Both are free, both are ranking signals, both sit empty on most listings.

03 · Reviews

Every finished job turns into a review request.

The first message is a check-in, not an ask - it catches an unhappy customer before they write anything. Happy ones get the link. Every review that lands gets answered, usually within the hour.

· Sent automatically when you close the ticket

· Same message, same link, for everyone - what Google requires

· Your past customers get asked too, not just new ones

· You get an alert the moment a new review lands, good or bad

04 · Citations · optional add-on

Your name, address and phone, identical everywhere it appears.

A citation is any place online that lists your business - Yelp, Angi, Apple Maps, Bing, the chamber of commerce, the trade directories. You didn't put most of them there; they got scraped from somewhere years ago.

Google cross-checks those listings against yours. When half of them show an old suite number, a disconnected phone line, or the business name you used before you incorporated, it trusts your profile less, and trust is the lever you're trying to move.

Find what's out there

We pull every listing carrying your name and show you the ones that are wrong. Most owners have never seen this list.

Fix, claim, and remove duplicates

Corrected on the directories that matter, duplicates merged or killed, so there's one version of you online.

Keep it locked

Directories drift and re-scrape old data. Checked on an ongoing basis so it doesn't come undone.

This is slower than reviews and quieter than answering the phone. It's worth doing once you've fixed those two, and we'll say so if you haven't.

Do you charge for a callout on a Sunday?

Sunday is $129 to come out, taken off the repair if you go ahead. I've got 8 to 10 tomorrow - want it?

07 · Chat on your website

A chat box that texts, types, or talks back.

Someone lands on your site at 9:40 on a Sunday. They pick how they want to reach you - text, chat, or a live voice call - and get an answer in seconds, in your business's name, with your prices and your service area.

Chat by text or email

They type, it lands on your phone as a text. The thread keeps going after they close the tab, which is where most web forms die.

Live chat, answered

Answers what it knows - hours, service area, whether you handle that job, roughly what it runs - and books the visit. Hands off to you when it's out of its depth.

Talk to it out loud

One tap and they're in a real voice conversation from the browser. No number to dial, nothing to install, and it can book the slot before they hang up.

Same brain as the phone answering, so the two never contradict each other. Every conversation lands in the one inbox with a transcript.

08 · Quotes you already wrote

The cheapest work you'll ever book is the estimate sitting in your software.

You drove out, you looked at it, you wrote the number. Then nothing. Nobody said no - they got busy. We go back through them and ask, by text, in your name, until you get an answer either way.

Unapproved estimates

Pulled from your system by age and amount, biggest and oldest first.

Recommended work nobody booked

The second item on the invoice you told them about and they put off.

A clean yes or no

Booked, or off the list. Either way you stop wondering about it.

Reads your estimates out of ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, Workiz, or QuickBooks. If it's somewhere else, we'll look at it before you sign anything.

09 · Your existing site

You don't need a new website for any of this.

Most of what we install works on the site you already have. Three small additions, everything else left alone.

A booking button

Writes straight into your calendar, so people book the slot instead of leaving a voicemail about it.

A text box

Someone types a question, it lands on your phone as a text, you answer it like any other text.

A trackable number

Rings your phone exactly like it does now, except we can tell you which jobs came from where.

A build only makes sense three ways: you don't have a site, yours can't take these, or it takes them fine and still doesn't turn visitors into phone calls. Any other time we'll tell you to keep what you've got.

10 · A new site, if you need one

Built to book work, and yours to keep.

When a build does make sense, it's a working site, not a brochure: a page for every service you sell and every town you drive to, your reviews on it, and the booking button, text box and trackable number wired in from day one.

Written for your trade, not filled with stock copy

The words people actually type - “water heater replacement in Rocklin” - on a page that answers that question.

Fast on a phone, in a driveway, on bad signal

Most of your visitors are standing outside with one bar. A slow site loses them before it loads.

Hosted, watched, and edited without you asking twice

Hosting is included with any monthly plan. On the Full Shop, edits are unlimited and new service and city pages get added as you grow.

You own the domain and the finished site permanently. If you ever leave, we hand over the files - see the terms.

We'll tell you not to buy this if your current site already takes the booking button and turns visitors into calls. Most of the time, that's the answer.

Why you rank where you rank

Google gives local businesses three levers. You can only pull one.

Google says local results come down to relevance, distance, and prominence. Look at what that actually means for you.

Relevance

Fixable once

Whether your profile says what you actually do. Categories, services, service areas, hours. Most contractors have this half filled in from the day they claimed it. It's a cleanup, not a campaign.

Distance

Not yours to move

How far you are from the person searching. You can't change where your shop sits, and nobody can sell you a fix for it. Anyone who says otherwise is selling you something.

Prominence

The one you can work

How well known and well regarded you are. Google is explicit that review count and rating feed into this. It's the only one of the three that responds to effort, and it's the reason the shop above you is above you.

The shop beating you is rarely better at the work. They're just the one who asked. Most contractors never do, which is why this moves so fast once somebody starts.

The first two weeks

Running in about a week, without your evenings.

Day 1

One call, 20 minutes

Your trades, your towns, your prices, your hours. We take it from there.

Days 2-4

We build and connect it

Profile cleaned up, number ported or forwarded, text-back and answering trained on your shop.

Day 5

Live, and asking

Review requests go out to recent jobs and your back catalog. The count starts moving in the first week.

Month 1

One page, what moved

Calls answered, calls recovered, reviews added, what it was worth. No dashboard homework.

What you get every month

One page. Not a login you'll never use.

Four numbers and a short note on what changed. If a month is bad, it says so and says why - that's the only way the good months mean anything.

We won't claim a job as ours unless we can show you where it came from: the missed call it started as, the review that got you the search, the quote nobody had chased.

Dashboard access comes with any plan if you want it. Most owners read the page and get back to work.

How this works

Start with one thing. Add the next when it's earned.

Most agencies sell you everything on day one. We'd rather fix the cheapest problem first, show you it worked, and let you decide about the rest.

Before you ask

The questions we get on every call.

Is there a contract?

No. Monthly plans are month to month. Cancel any time and service runs through the month you've already paid for.

Do I own the website?

Yes. You pay once for the build, and the site and the domain are yours permanently, whether you keep a monthly plan or not. If you leave, we hand over the files.

Do I have to buy the website?

No. Plenty of businesses start with reviews only and never add one. If your site already works, we'll tell you so.

Will the review requests annoy my customers?

The first message isn't an ask. It's a check-in to make sure the work went well, which catches problems before they become reviews. Everyone gets the same request with the same link, which is what Google requires.

Does the AI sound like a robot?

It almost sounds real - most callers never ask. It's fully trained on your business before it ever picks up: it answers in your business's name, knows your trade, your service area, and your price ranges, and hands off to you when it's out of its depth. Anything it books lands on your calendar with a transcript attached.

How fast do I see anything?

Reviews move first. We ask your past customers as well as your new ones, so most shops see their count climb in the first few weeks.

Let's see what you're missing.

We'll record a short video showing where you're losing work - your profile, your call handling, your site - and send it over. No call required.
