Questions owners ask us
Google tells business owners what to ask before they hire anyone for SEO. Here are the questions from Google's list that matter to a local business, with our answers. Then the questions owners ask us most.
Before you hire anyone
Google's questions, and our answers
Can you show me examples of your previous work and share some success stories?
Yes. Our work page shows companies we run, by trade and region, with real screenshots and the names blacked out. These are companies we run. Client numbers stay private. Each number says where it came from and the dates it covers.
Do you follow the Google Search Essentials (previously known as Webmaster Guidelines)?
Yes. Every town page we build for you is written for its service and its town, because Google's spam rules are against pages where only the town name changes. We never ask only the happy customers for reviews, and we never offer anything for one.
What kind of results do you expect to see, and in what timeframe? How do you measure your success?
We do not promise a ranking, a number of calls or a date. Google itself warns against anyone who claims they can promise a ranking. What we can promise is what we do and when. From the day counting is set up, every call and form is counted, so you see the number yourself.
What's your experience in my industry?
We run local service companies of our own, in carpet cleaning, cleaning and restoration, and moving and junk removal. We try everything on them first. They are not remodeling companies, and we say so. The Free Scan shows how we would work on your own business.

What's your experience in my country/city?
We work with home service businesses across the United States. The companies we run are in the Phoenix area, the Seattle area and Orange County. Google ranks the map partly on how close you are to the person searching, so the Free Scan looks at the towns you work in.
How can I expect to communicate with you? Will you share with me all the changes you make to my site, and provide detailed information about your recommendations and the reasoning behind them?
You talk to a person. Israel or Nadav talks with you first and stays your contact. You get a simple page that shows what is done, what we are working on, what is next, and what we need from you. We have a review and planning call every two weeks, and for questions in your client portal, we reply within 48 hours at most. Your website code, hosting, Google listing, ads account and Search Console stay in your name.

Can you get me to the top of the Google map?
No one can promise that. Google decides who shows up by how well you match the search, how close you are to the person searching, and how well known you are. Google also says you cannot pay for a better spot on the map. Our part is making sure your listing matches what you do and where you work, and fixing what holds it back.
How many calls or leads will I get?
Nobody can honestly promise a number. Here is what moves it. How many people search for your work in your towns. How many other companies want the same jobs. How fast your team calls people back. And your reviews compared to others nearby. What we can promise is what we do and when. And every call and form gets counted, so you see the number yourself.
Do you guarantee results?
No. No one can honestly promise a ranking or a number of calls. We would rather tell you that straight than promise something we cannot control. We tell you what we will do and when. You see every task, and every call and form counted.
An SEO company already took my money. Why would this be different?
You will be able to see if it works. From the day counting is set up, every call and form is counted. Where we can tell, it is marked with where it came from. You also get a simple page that shows the work we did.

SEO means work to help you show up on Google when people search. It is hard to check from the outside. So we make the results something you can count.
Cost, contract and what you own
How much does it cost?
Three monthly plans. Get Visible (Tier 1) is $3,000 a month. Get Customers (Tier 2) is $6,000 a month. Get Growth (Tier 3) is $10,000 a month. Prices are shown on the pricing page before any call. Ad spend is billed separately on top of the tier price, and any charges on lead sites like Angi or HomeAdvisor are billed separately. See the pricing page for what is in each one.
Who owns my website, listing and ads account?
You do. Your Google listing, ads account, Search Console, website code and hosting stay in your name. We are added as helpers to do the work. If you stop, you keep all of it.
Is ad spend included in the price?
No. Ad spend is always billed separately on top of the tier price. It goes to Google or Facebook, and you decide how much. Our monthly price is for the work. Ads start in Get Customers (Tier 2).
Is there a contract?
Plans are month to month. You see what is in your plan before you start. And because everything is in your name, you keep it all if you stop.
Working with us
I do not have a website. Can you still help?
Yes. Get Visible (Tier 1) starts with your website. If you do not have one, we build it. Start with the Free Scan and tick "I don't have a website yet".
Do I need to give you passwords for the Free Scan?
No. The Free Scan only uses what is public, plus anything you choose to tell us.
What do I need to do?
A few things only you can do. Finish Google's steps to confirm your listing. We guide you. Send us photos of your real jobs. Say yes or no to the towns and jobs we focus on. And answer your calls and call people back fast. That last one matters a lot.
Will you change my logo?
No. You keep your logo and your look. In Get Growth (Tier 3) we make Google, your website and your ads all match it.
Do you come to job sites or do work in person?
No. Everything we do is done on a computer.
By trade
Questions by trade
Do you have remodeling work I can look at?
Not yet. We do not have remodeling client numbers to show yet. The companies we run are in carpet cleaning, cleaning and restoration, and moving and junk removal. We work the same way for every trade, and the Free Scan shows how it would work on your business.
A plugin is slowing down my website. Does it matter?
It can. A plugin or tag that runs on every page adds a wait to every page, and on a phone the wait is easy to notice. When we rebuild or fix your website, we test it on a real phone, like a homeowner would.
Can my website give a price before the customer calls?
Yes. The moving and junk removal company we run has a price estimator that gives a price range straight away, with no email required. It shows the crew size, the hourly rate and the hours behind the number, so the customer can see how it was worked out.
