SEO for home services, done every month.
SEO is the work that makes Google show your business when someone nearby searches for what you do. I do it every month, and you get a report you can read in two minutes.

There's no magic in it.
When somebody two towns over types your trade into their phone, SEO decides whether your name is on that screen.
It's maintenance work, done on a schedule. It gets sold with a lot of jargon, but underneath it's a list of chores that have to get done every month.
What the monthly work is.
- Keeping your Google Business Profile current and matching reality
- Getting reviews coming in, and getting them answered
- Adding pages for the services and the locations you want more work from
- Fixing what breaks
- Watching what the shops down the road are doing
Google shows businesses that look active and skips the ones that look abandoned, so one big cleanup helps for a while, but doing it every month is what keeps you on the screen.
How it plays out depends on your trade. A plumber wins on the map at night, and a roofer wins on years of reviews, so each trade has its own page.
What you see.
You get a monthly report you can read in two minutes: where you rank and how many people called.
There are no charts you'd need a translator for, and if a number went the wrong way, the report says so and tells you what I'm doing about it.
Keep them, because if you ever sell, two years of monthly reports is the file you hand a buyer when they ask where next month's jobs come from.
Fix the site before you pay for monthly work.
This is the slowest of the three services, because rankings take at least six to nine months to move, and sometimes longer.
So a wrong start is expensive, because nine months in you've paid nine bills and lost most of a year. The long answer is in how long SEO takes.
If the site takes seven seconds to load and the Google Business Profile has no hours on it, monthly work is wasted until those are fixed. That's what the strategy is for, and it's why I look at what you have before the monthly bill starts.
Common questions.
What is a Google Business Profile?
It's the box with your hours and reviews that shows up on Google Maps, and beside the search results when someone looks up your name. It's free and separate from your website. Your website showing up in the search results is a different thing, and monthly SEO works on both.
What does monthly SEO include?
It covers keeping your Google Business Profile current, getting reviews coming in, adding pages for the locations and services you want more of, and fixing what breaks. You get a short report every month.
How long before I see results?
Rankings take at least six to nine months to move, and sometimes longer. The report shows you the direction every month along the way.
Is this the same as the maintenance plan?
No. The maintenance plan keeps the website working, and monthly SEO is the work that gets you found. They are on separate bills.
Do I need a new website first?
Not always, but monthly work on a slow site with a half-filled Google Business Profile is wasted. I look at what you have before the monthly bill starts.
What is in the monthly report?
It shows where you rank and how many people called, and it takes two minutes to read. If a number went the wrong way, it says so and says what I am doing about it.
Does it matter if I sell the business?
Two years of monthly reports is the file you hand a buyer when they ask where next month's jobs come from.
