Value questions
The questions business owners ask most when deciding how much to invest.
Starter focuses on the essentials for one location: on-page SEO, a few quality outreach backlinks and monthly reporting. It is a real starting point, not a trial.
Yes. Many clients start on Starter or Growth and move up once they see results and want to compete for bigger searches.
Over time, usually yes. Ads charge for every click and stop when you stop paying. SEO builds rankings that keep bringing visits without a cost per click.
It depends on your industry and competition. Many local businesses see Google Maps movement in 30 to 60 days, with bigger gains over 3 to 6 months.
Authority has more than twice the backlinks, 15 blog posts a month instead of 5, a simple 3-page SEO website and a dedicated account manager.
Yes. On Growth and Authority, articles are published to your site, and a calendar in your client portal shows when each one will go live.
Client portal

Clear data for every customer, so you can always see what is being done and what it is achieving.

Plans and Google Maps
Every plan is built to improve your Google Maps visibility, because that is where most local calls come from.
However customers look you up, on Google Maps Toronto, Kitchener or a village off the highway, your local map pack ranking decides how many find you. Local work runs through every plan for that reason, not only the larger ones.
Every plan includes work that supports your Google Business Profile: matching business details across directories, service pages and on-page fixes. Growth and Authority add full Google Business Listing optimization, regular content and more authority building each month.
The goal stays simple: more calls and visits, and a clear edge over local competitors.
