The actual accounts, not a polished PDF.
Most agencies show you a polished PDF and a logo wall. We'd rather show you the actual accounts. Below are results from real home-service businesses we run. The map grids, the rank moves, the calls that followed. They're individual outcomes, not a promise every business hits the same number. The fastest way to know what's realistic for you is a 15-minute call where we pull the accounts up live.

June 2026 · 6 min readWe open the live accounts on the call.
Anyone can print a screenshot and a big number next to it. What actually tells you whether this works is the live account, in a market like yours, with nothing cherry-picked. That's the standard we hold these results to, and the one we'll hold your account to.
Live accounts, on screen
On the call we pull up real client dashboards and Google profiles, not a deck. You see current map rank, review counts and lead activity as they actually sit today.
A market like yours
A win in a town of 30,000 reads different than one in a packed metro. We'll show you a client whose competition and city size actually match yours, so the number means something.
Nothing cherry-picked
We don't only talk about the rocket ships. If a market is slow or a timeline is long, we say so on the call. Straight numbers beat a highlight reel every time.
The whole network,
in plain numbers.
The case studies below are individual client results, not a promise every business hits the same. What's realistic for you depends on your market, your competition and your timeline, and we'll always be straight with you about it on the call.

Results shown are from specific ES Studios clients and reflect their individual outcomes. They're examples of what's possible, not a guarantee of the same results for every business. Clients are identified by trade and state only, and the photographs are illustrative stock, not the clients' own job sites.
Fair questions
about the proof.
The same answers we give contractors on the phone every week.
Because we don't hand a competitor a map of who to poach or copy. On the call we'll pull the actual accounts up live, names and all, so you can see the numbers are real without us plastering clients across a public page.
They're individual outcomes, not averages. What's realistic for you depends on your city, your competition and how long you give it. We'll show you a client in a market like yours and tell you straight what to expect.
Reviews move first, usually inside two weeks. Map movement shows in 30 to 60 days, faster in a smaller town, slower in a crowded metro. Owning a whole service area takes longer. The general contractor above took eight months. Anyone promising the top spot in a week is selling smoke.
Yes, that's the whole point of the call. We open live dashboards and Google profiles on screen. No screenshots we picked, no numbers you can't check. If something looks off, you'll see it in real time.
Want to see the accounts for yourself?
Book a 15-minute call. We'll pull up live client dashboards, show you a market like yours, and give you a straight read on what's realistic for your business. No pitch deck, and nothing you have to do afterwards.
