Rank in 30 Days!
Local SEO Without The BS!
Rank on Page One of Google and Top 3 of the Map Pack in 30 Days
Or You Don't Pay!
Most local SEO agencies charge $1,500–$3,000 a month and ask you to trust a process that may take 6-12 months to show results.
We guarantee yours in 30 days, or you don’t pay a single dollar.
Here’s what that actually means for your business:
When your service business ranks on page one of Google and in the top 3 of the Google Map Pack for your primary service keyword, customers searching for exactly what you offer find you first.
Not your competitor. Not the business down the street. You.
That means more calls. More leads. More booked jobs. From customers who found you on Google — without you chasing a single one of them.
And we guarantee it happens in 30 days, or you don’t pay.

Why This Works in Smaller Markets
Built for Markets Where Smart Optimization Beats Big Budgets.
Here’s something most agencies won’t tell you:
The tactics that work in New York or Los Angeles don’t apply to your market.
In hyper-competitive metros, ranking on page one requires massive budgets, hundreds of backlinks, and years of content creation.
That’s not your world.
In smaller markets — places under 350K population, the playing field looks completely different:
✓ Most of your competitors haven’t properly optimized their GBP
✓ Foundational fixes create immediate ranking advantages
✓ You don’t need 50 blog posts or expensive backlink schemes
✓ Results happen in weeks — not months
✓ $199/month delivers better ROI than a $2,000/month agency
Your market is actually a wide-open opportunity.
Most businesses just don’t know how to take advantage of it.
We do — and we guarantee it in 30 days.
What's Included?

The 30-Day Ranking Guarantee!
Here's Exactly What We Promise, and Exactly What That Means
Add Your Heading Text Here
What We Guarantee:
Within 30 days of implementation, you will rank:
✓ On page one of Google search (organic results, positions 1-10)
✓ In the top 3 of the Google Map Pack
…for your primary GBP category keyword.
What Is the Primary GBP Category Keyword?
This is the main search term combining your primary Google Business Profile category with your city or service area.
Examples:
- “Roofing contractor + City”
- “General contractor + City”
- “Plumber + City”
- “HVAC repair + City”
We agree on this keyword together during onboarding based on:
- Your primary GBP category
- Your market and service area
- Competitive analysis
- Realistic 30-day ranking potential
This is the keyword your customers are already searching, and it’s what we guarantee to rank you for.
What Happens If We Don’t Deliver:
You get a full refund. No questions asked.
If you don’t see measurable improvement, page one on Google search plus top 3 of the map pack for your primary GBP category keyword, within 30 days of GBP and Homepage updates, you don’t pay.
Simple as that!
What We Don’t Guarantee:
Permanent #1 rankings (rankings fluctuate naturally)
Rankings for secondary keywords (those are tracked and expanded after day 30)
Results if access isn’t provided or unauthorized changes are made
Rankings in ultra-competitive niches or hyper-competitive metros
The Guarantee in Action
General Contractor · South Louisiana · Top 3 in Under 30 Days
This isn’t theoretical. Here’s exactly what happened when we applied this process to a general contractor in the Acadiana area.
Starting Point:
- Google Map Pack: Not visible (position 10+)
- Organic Search: Page 3 or worse
- $4,000 website that looked great but wasn’t ranking
What We Found:
Multiple H1 headings confusing Google
Images not geotagged or optimized
Missing title tags and meta descriptions
No internal linking structure
No external validation links
Wrong primary GBP category
Missing services in GBP
No posting or photo activity
What We Fixed:
✓ Complete on-page SEO overhaul
✓ Image optimization and geotagging
✓ Internal linking architecture
✓ External validation links (BBB, Broussard Chamber, social)
✓ Reciprocal citation linking for entity validation
✓ GBP category and service optimization
✓ Weekly posts and geotagged photos
Why It Worked:
Google needed proof this business was real and legitimate. By aligning title tags, headings, and schema with GBP categories and services, we created matching signals Google could verify.
External validation links to BBB and the Chamber, with reciprocal links, confirmed the business entity across trusted sources. Geotagged images and consistent NAP reinforced location legitimacy.
Entity confirmation = trust = rankings.
Results Timeline

Who This Plan Is For?
We Only Take Clients We Can Actually Help.
This Plan Works Best For:
✓ Local service businesses — HVAC, roofing, plumbing, contractors, restoration, fencing, concrete, landscaping, and similar trades
✓ Smaller markets — generally under 350K population where foundational SEO delivers fast results
✓ Beatable primary keywords — “roofing contractor + city” or “plumber + city” type searches we can rank in 30 days
✓ Business owners who want results — not 6-month “brand awareness” campaigns
This Plan Is NOT For:
✗ Ultra-competitive niches — car accident lawyers, personal injury, medical practices
✗ Hyper-competitive metros — NYC, LA, Miami, Chicago
✗ Businesses without a GBP — you’ll need one set up first
✗ Lead-gen listings or fake addresses — we don’t work with these
If we don’t think we can rank your primary keyword in 30 days, we’ll tell you upfront, and we won’t take your money!
What We Need to Get Started
Simple Access. No Complications.
To implement this plan we need:
✓ Manager or admin access to your Google Business Profile ✓ Admin access to your website (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, etc.) ✓ An active verified Google Business Profile already set up
Changes We Never Make Without Your Approval:
We are risk-aware — not reckless.
Primary category changes
Business name edits
Address changes
Service area modifications
If something is already ranking, we evaluate the risk carefully before recommending any change.
We don’t gamble with your existing visibility.
How It Works
Six Simple Steps. No Surprises.
Step 1: Start With Your Free Audit If you haven’t already, request your free GBP and homepage audit. This shows you exactly what’s broken and confirms your market is a good fit. ➔ Get Your Free Audit
Step 2: Review Your Audit and Decide Once you receive your audit you’ll see exactly what needs fixing. If you want us to handle everything with the 30-day guarantee — this is the plan.
Step 3: Onboarding and Primary Keyword Agreement We collect necessary access and agree on your primary GBP category keyword together — the keyword covered by your 30-day guarantee.
Step 4: Implementation (First 30 Days) We implement all GBP and homepage fixes, start weekly posts and photos, submit citations, and track rankings from day one.
Step 5: Results Check (Day 30) We review your rankings for your primary GBP category keyword. Page one plus top 3 of the map pack — or you don’t pay.
Step 6: Ongoing Optimization After 30 days we shift to expansion — adding pages, refining strategy, and building on what’s working.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don’t rank in 30 days? You don’t pay. Full refund. No questions asked. If you don’t see page one plus top 3 of the map pack for your primary GBP category keyword within 30 days — you get every dollar back.
What counts as the primary GBP category keyword? The main search term combining your primary GBP category with your city or service area. Examples: “roofing contractor Lafayette” or “plumber Houma.” We agree on this together during onboarding.
What if my primary keyword is too competitive? We’ll tell you upfront — either in your free audit or during onboarding. We only accept clients in markets where we’re confident we can deliver. Transparency is how we operate.
Can I cancel anytime? Yes. Month-to-month. No long-term contract. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice.
What happens after the first 30 days? We continue with ongoing optimization — weekly posts and photos, rank tracking, Q&A management, citation verification, and up to 3 new pages per month based on ranking data.
Do I need to provide content for new pages? No. We create pages based on your services and the real ranking data we’re seeing.
Is the $100 one-time implementation separate from this? Yes. The $100 option implements audit recommendations once with no ongoing work. This $199/month plan includes full implementation plus ongoing optimization plus the 30-day guarantee.
What if I already have decent rankings? Great. We’ll focus on maintaining and expanding visibility into nearby service areas and additional keywords.
How is this different from the Full-Service SEO option? The $199/month plan focuses on GBP and homepage fundamentals — perfect for single-location service businesses in smaller markets. Full-Service SEO is for multi-location businesses or more competitive markets requiring advanced strategy, content, and link building.
Do you work outside of Louisiana? Yes. We’re based in Acadiana but work with service businesses in smaller markets across the U.S.
What if I want to upgrade to Full-Service later? Absolutely. Many clients start here and upgrade after 60-90 days once they’ve seen results and want to scale further.
