Process

  1. Before you start: free map check

    You get a grid of your Google Maps ranks across your city for the services you sell. You decide from that whether a pilot makes sense.

  2. Week 1: tracking and access

    Call and form tracking goes live first, so the starting numbers are recorded. Accounts are set up in your name, with access shared to the team.

  3. Weeks 2 to 8: the agreed work

    The services in your plan are delivered: profile and page work, technical fixes, and ads or feed setup where they are in scope.

  4. Weeks 9 to 12: reviews and second map check

    Review requests run with your recent customers. The map grid is run again on the same points.

  5. Day 90: report

    You get the before and after grids and the list of calls and forms. You continue month to month or stop.

Pricing

Fixed monthly fee, quoted after the map check

  • The fee depends on the services in your plan

FAQ

Can you guarantee coverage?

No. Journalists decide what they publish. The report shows every pitch sent and every result.

Do I need a news story?

No. Job data, price data and expert comments from your work are often enough to pitch.

Is this only for large companies?

No. Local outlets cover local businesses, and those mentions count for local search.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No. Nobody controls Google's results. The pilot commits to specific work and to tracking every lead, so you can judge it on calls and forms.

How long is the contract?

The pilot is 90 days. After that it runs month to month and you can stop at any time.

Who does the work?

Senior specialists. There are no juniors or account managers, and you talk to the person doing the work.
