Where you are, and where this gets you.
Today
Your competitors hold the top three map-pack slots in your city. Your GBP hasn't been updated since 2022. Reviews trickle in once a quarter. The customers who do find you are mostly word-of-mouth, not search.
After the engagement
Map-pack rank moves in 60 to 90 days. GBP optimized weekly. Review acquisition workflow running on autopilot. NAP data clean across every citation. Local content keyed to the neighborhoods your buyers live in.
What ships
The work, named up front.
Each line is something you can open, read, or log into when the engagement ends.
- GBP optimization (profile, posts, photos, services)
- Local citation cleanup + NAP consistency audit
- Review acquisition workflow (request, response, dispute)
- Local content (city + neighborhood pages)
- Map-pack rank tracking per service-area city

Fit
Who this is for, and who it is not.
We would rather tell you now than three sprints in.
A good fit if
- Service-area businesses (HVAC, landscaping, plumbing, contracting)
- Multi-location services expanding to a new city
- Operators competing for '[service] near me' queries
Not the right fit if
- National brands without a physical service area
- Pure e-commerce with no local component
What we will not ship
- Buying reviews or gating bad ones
- Fake GBP locations to pad map-pack coverage
- NAP data that drifts across citations
What we need from you
- GBP management access
- Service-area city list
- Existing review profile (Yelp, Facebook, BBB)
- Photos of your team, vehicles, and work product
