The four pieces, working as one system
Bought separately from separate suppliers, these leak into each other. Built together, they compound.
Automation
Instant text and email the moment a lead lands, missed-call text back, and follow-up that keeps going. Speed to lead is the highest-leverage fix in local marketing.
More on automationCRM
Every call, text and form on one record, in a pipeline that shows what needs a callback and what is about to close. No more leads lost between a notebook and an inbox.
More on the CRMLocal SEO
Google Business Profile done properly, neighborhood pages that build the association, and a grid scan so map pack progress is measured instead of claimed.
More on local SEOWhere the jobs are actually going
A local business spends to make the phone ring, and then the system it built by accident decides what happens next. A lead arrives at 2pm while everyone is on a job. It sits. At 6pm someone sees it and calls. The customer booked at 2:20 with whoever answered.
That is not a marketing failure. Nothing about the ad or the ranking was wrong. The job was lost in the gap between the enquiry and the callback, and no amount of extra traffic fixes a gap.
The site is slow on a phone
Most local traffic is mobile on a cell connection. A site that takes six seconds loses people who never see it at all, and they never appear in any report.
Nobody responds fast enough
The business that replies first usually wins, and in a trade the crew is on a job when the lead arrives. That is a structural problem and it needs a structural fix.
Leads live in four places
A phone, an inbox, a form notification and a notebook. Nobody can say who still needs a callback, so the quiet leads expire in silence.
Invisible outside your own postcode
Ranking well from the office and nowhere else is the normal state of an unoptimised profile. It looks like success right up until you check from across town.
How the engine gets built
Four steps, in this order, because each one makes the next worth doing.
-
1
Find the leaks
A look at the site, the profile, the response times and where leads currently land. This produces a short list of what is actually costing you jobs, ranked by what it is costing.
-
2
Fix the path
The website and the follow-up get built together, because a fast site that nobody calls back from is only half a fix.
-
3
Make it visible
Profile, neighborhood pages and reviews, with a grid scan baseline taken before the work starts so the change can be measured.
-
4
Measure and adjust
Calls and forms tracked to source. Spend follows what actually books work, not what generates the most clicks.
What gets reported back
Every engagement reports on the two things that pay the bills: calls and booked jobs, tracked to where they came from. Clicks and impressions are context, not the scoreboard.
Map pack progress is reported as a grid scan taken before the work and again after, so improvement is a picture rather than an assurance.
Built around your trade
The system is the same. What changes is which parts matter most, and that depends on what you sell.
Serving the Las Vegas valley
Local SEO is decided neighborhood by neighborhood, not city by city. Each of these markets behaves differently.
Straight answers, free
Written to be useful whether or not you ever hire anyone.
What a small business website actually costs, and why the quotes vary so much
Ask five companies to quote a website and you will get five numbers that look like they are for five different products. They usually are. Here is what actually sits behind the range.
Why your business is not showing up on Google Maps
This is the most common question a local business owner asks, and the most common answer is not what they expect. Before anything else gets changed, the way you are checking needs fixing.
Speed to lead: why the first five minutes decide the job
Of everything a local business can change about its marketing, how fast it responds to a new lead is the cheapest to fix and the most consistently underestimated.
The Google Business Profile checklist most local businesses have never completed
The profile is the single highest-return asset in local marketing, it is free, and most businesses have filled in about a third of it. This is what a complete one looks like.
How to tell whether a marketing agency is worth paying
This is written by an agency, which is worth saying out loud. Read it as a set of questions to ask everyone, including me.
