We fix that. For $499 a month you get everything you need to show up first, keep reviews coming in after every job, and stop losing calls to worse competitors.

Why It Keeps Happening

The agency didn't help.
They made it worse.

You've probably tried fixing this before. The agency had a great pitch. Promised results. Said to just wait. Sent you monthly reports full of charts that looked impressive and meant nothing. Three months later, six months later, $8,000 down, same position on Google.

That's not bad luck. That's how most agencies are built. Cookie-cutter strategy, junior account managers, vague KPIs, and a 12-month lock-in so you can't leave.

70%

of contractors are unhappy with their local SEO provider. Not 10%, not 30%. Seven in ten. The industry has a problem and most agencies have no incentive to fix it.

🎭

Met the founders. Got the interns. The pitch was brilliant. Then you got handed to a 22-year-old who'd never been on a job site in their life.

⏳

"Results take time. Just wait." Meanwhile the contractor down the road is getting your calls because someone actually worked on his Google profile this month.

🔒

Locked in for 12 months. Cancel and you lose your website, your setup, your everything. Built to hold you hostage, not to deliver.

📊

Reports full of numbers that mean nothing. Impressions, reach, engagement rate. You're a plumber. You need calls and booked jobs. Everything else is noise.

🔄

Same strategy they use for everyone. The HVAC company in Denver. The injury lawyer in Miami. Your business. Same template, different logo, same disappointing results.

GBP Ranking + Social Media SEO Posts

Full Google Business Profile management. Weekly posts, optimised photos, keyword-rich descriptions, and Q&As built around what your local customers actually search for. We also post to YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram every week as part of the ranking strategy. 90% of clients reach the top 3 in 90 days. If you don't, we keep working at no extra cost.

Review Reactivation Campaign

Before the automations kick in, we send personalised SMS messages to your existing customer list. People who already trust you but never got around to leaving a review. Campaigns typically see a 5 to 15% response rate. With 1,000+ contacts that's 25 or more new reviews in the first two weeks.

Ongoing Review Automations + Review Shield

As soon as a job is done, a review request goes out automatically. We've built the copy to help customers write something specific because nearly 40% of people who don't leave a review say they don't know what to say. Review Shield routes negative feedback privately to you first so you handle it before it ever reaches Google.

Why We Work This Way

We only work with home service businesses. And we're honest about why.

The way a roofer ranks on Google is different from how a law firm or a restaurant ranks. We know the seasonal patterns, the keywords that convert in your trade, and the content types that move the map pack needle. Because this is all we do.

And we're upfront about why we give you everything instead of upselling piece by piece. We win when you get results. That's the deal.

Home service only. No generalists.

We turned down every other niche to get really good at this one. That's why 90% of clients hit top 3 in 90 days.

We give you everything because we want the case study.

We have a solid book of business and we want more wins to show for it. You get results. We get proof. Simple trade.

Month-to-month because results do the work.

No 12-month lock-in. Cancel any time. We keep you because the phone is ringing more, not because of paperwork.

Reports in plain English. Numbers that matter.

Map pack position. Review count. Estimator leads. Not impressions and engagement rate. The stuff that turns into booked jobs.

"We have a solid book of business and we want more case studies. So instead of upselling you piece by piece, we give you everything from day one and we win together. You get the results. We get the proof."

How It Works

Simple to start. We do the rest.

Your job is to keep doing great work. Ours is to make sure people find you first.

01. Book a free strategy call

We pull up your current rankings, look at your competition, and show you an honest picture of where you stand. 20 minutes. You'll learn something whether we work together or not.

02. Onboarding takes under 30 minutes

Simple form, access to your Google Business Profile, and your existing customer list for the review reactivation. After that, we take it from here.

03. We build everything simultaneously

Review reactivation goes out in week one. GBP optimisation, citation management, website build, Smart Estimator, and CRM all kick off at the same time. Most clients see ranking movement within 30 days.

04. More calls. More jobs. Every month.

90% of clients reach the top 3 within 90 days. We track rankings, review count, and estimator leads monthly and keep pushing. The longer the system runs, the harder it is for competitors to catch up.

Questions

The questions we actually get asked.

Straight answers. No spin.

Good question, and a good sign you're paying attention. Most agencies use cookie-cutter strategies, hand you to a junior, and lock you in for 12 months. We work month-to-month. We're transparent about exactly what we do each month. We only work with home service businesses. Start with the free call and judge us on the conversation before you spend a penny.

We keep working until you do, at no extra cost. The timeline depends on how competitive your market is and we're honest about that on the strategy call. We won't take you on if we don't think we can deliver. If it takes longer than expected, that's on us.

No. Everything is month-to-month. Cancel with 30 days notice, no penalties, no awkward calls. We keep you because the phone is ringing more, not because you're stuck.

Onboarding takes under 30 minutes. After that, almost nothing. You mark jobs as done so the review requests fire at the right time. Most clients check their inbox for about 10 minutes a day once everything is running. That's it.

No. We build one for you as part of MAX. If you already have one, we'll look at it on the call and tell you honestly whether it makes more sense to work with it or replace it.

We work with whatever you have. The reactivation performs best with 1,000+ contacts but smaller lists still work. We'll also help you build the habit of collecting customer numbers at point of service so the list grows with the business.

Review reactivation produces results in the first two weeks. Most clients see ranking movement within 30 days. 90% reach the top 3 within 90 days. We call these the 14-Day Trust Lift, 30-Day Visibility Lift, and 90-Day Top-3 Push. You'll know exactly what milestone you're at every step of the way.

Because we built products, not hourly services. We've done this hundreds of times for home service businesses. We know what works. The value is still $2,488 a month if you bought each piece separately. We keep the price accessible because we want the case studies.

Google Ads is pay-per-click. The moment you stop paying, you disappear. Google Maps ranking is organic. Once you're in the top 3, the clicks are free and compound over time. We're not anti-ads, but for most contractors the organic work has far better long-term returns on the same spend.

A decent in-house SEO person costs $50,000 to $70,000 a year before tools, training, and management time. We've already done this 200+ times. At $499 a month, the maths aren't close.

Yes. We work with contractors across the US, from major metros to smaller regional markets. Less competitive markets often see faster results. On the call we'll pull up your market and show you what the competitive landscape looks like before you spend anything.

There isn't one. We built products instead of billing hours. We've done this so many times that our per-client cost is low and we can pass the savings along. Every happy client who hits top 3 is proof we can use to attract the next one. That's the business model.

A Note from the Founders

Why we built MAX Local the way we did.

We spent a long time watching home service businesses lose to worse competitors. Not because they did bad work. Because they were invisible, untrusted, or easy to dismiss online. We mapped out exactly where the jobs were getting lost. Turns out it's always the same four places. MAX is what happens when you fix all four at once, in one dashboard.
