Introduction

What this campaign does

When a homeowner searches for a deck, a remodel, or a new roof, Google shows three businesses on the map first. That box is the Map Pack, which is your Google My Business listing showing up in Google Maps.

This $3,000 monthly campaign gets that listing ready, writes the pages those searches need, and lines up your business details so Google sees one shop. We also add the local links and content that help the listing hold its place. We run this for deck builders, outdoor living, remodeling, roofing, and landscaping shops.

More on how this works: local SEO for contractors and how to rank in Google Maps.

What's included

What is included in our SEO campaign

The $3,000 monthly campaign covers Google Maps, the website, and the links that support both.

Website SEO

We fix speed, headings, and the pages Google needs to read. We usually recommend rebuilding the website so people who click from Google Maps land on a fast site that is simple to update.

Service and location pages

Pages written for the searches buyers type, from the main trade down to the city and job they want done.

Listing cleanup

We fix duplicate listings and wrong business details on other sites around the web.

Local links and articles

We get your shop listed on local sites people already trust, such as chambers, suppliers, and sponsors. Each month we also place articles on industry sites.

Photos and mentions

Fresh photos and video on Google My Business, plus your business details on the local sites that already mention nearby shops.

Reporting

Weekly reports, a live rank tracker shared with your team, and a monthly call with the person running the account, where we count calls and booked jobs. See client results.

The 10-Day Complimentary Boost

Map Pack visibility needs three things working together:

  • Reviews. Recent, real reviews from finished jobs.
  • Activity. Posts, photos, and a profile that looks current.
  • Proximity. A real location near the area you want to reach.

What we usually see

How local search usually fails

Most shops we audit lose jobs because the listing is incomplete, the business details do not match, or the website is slow or outdated.

  1. Symptom 1

    You are not in the map box

    Google shows three businesses at the top of Google Maps. Most people call one of those three.

  2. Symptom 2

    Years of listing damage

    Duplicate listings, wrong business details, and spam links. Cleanup is usually the largest piece of work.

  3. Symptom 3

    A strong listing, a weak site

    People click through from Google Maps and land on a slow or outdated site. We usually pair this work with a website rebuild.

How it works

The process, from audit to day 90

  1. 01

    Audit

    We look at your Google listing, your website, and the shops already winning your searches.

  2. 02

    Cleanup

    We fix your business details across the web and clean up spam links pointing at the shop.

  3. 03

    Build

    We rebuild Google My Business, work on the website, write the service and location pages, and get you listed on the local sites that matter.

  4. 04

    Review at day 90

    At day 90 we review the Top-3 Map Pack target. We look at rankings, calls, and booked jobs, then set the next month of work.

Why it matters

Why the listing and the site run together

A strong Google My Business listing that sends people to a weak website wastes the click. A fast website with messy business details is not going to help your shop show up on Google Maps.

Homeowners start on the map. They call from the listing or click through to the site. If the listing looks unfinished, they call someone else. If they click and the site is slow or unclear, they go back to the map. The listing and the website have to work as one.

That is why we plan them together. We rebuild Google My Business, fix the pages those searches need, and keep your business details the same across the web. The goal is a homeowner who searches, finds you, and books the job.

What to expect

What you can expect over time

The first weeks are cleanup. We fix your Google My Business listing, your business details on other sites, and the pages on your website that those searches need.

Movement in Google Maps usually shows in 30 to 60 days. You start to see more calls from the listing and more form fills from the site. Harder search terms often take longer.

At 90 days we review the Top-3 target on a main search. We look at rankings, calls, and booked jobs, then set the next month of work. The campaign stays month-to-month after that verbal 90-day start.

Measuring success

How success is measured

We agree on what should move for your shop: more jobs booked this month, more calls from Google Maps, more form fills from the website. Then we watch those numbers, talk through them, and change the work based on what we see.

You get weekly reports so you can see ranks, calls, and leads as they come in. Each month we get on a call with the person running the account.

Success is going from not showing in the Map Pack to showing there, then seeing a steady flow of leads from the website and from Google My Business, and turning those leads into jobs.

Proven results

Real movement from SEO clients

Each circle is a point in the service area, and the number is how high the shop ranks in Google Maps at that spot. A low number means they show near the top, and a high number means they sit near the bottom. 1, 2, or 3 means they appear in the three businesses at the top of Google Maps. The two maps below are the same client and the same searches, a few weeks apart.

Day 1

Right fit

Is our SEO campaign the right fit for you?

This campaign works best if you run a deck, outdoor living, remodel, roofing, or landscaping shop, usually around $1M or more, and you want to show up in Google Maps in the cities you already serve. The work stays month-to-month after a verbal 90-day start, and we take one client per category per market. See the trades on Industries.

If you need jobs sooner, we talk through paid advertising like Google Ads on the same call.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered

How long until I see Map Pack movement?

If you choose the complimentary 10-day boost, it is designed to show early movement during that test. The full campaign works toward a Top-3 Map Pack target around 90 days, sometimes sooner in lower-competition markets. Rankings cannot be guaranteed, so we set expectations for your market on the strategy call.

Am I locked into a contract?

No legal lock-in. We ask for a verbal 90-day commitment because SEO needs enough time to produce useful data. At three months, we can see what moved, what did not, and make an informed next decision. After that, the campaign is month-to-month.

Will I have to redo my website?

No. We can work with your existing site. We recommend the rebuild because it gives the SEO campaign a cleaner foundation and gives you a website that is much simpler to own, update, and keep forever.

How is this different from the last agency that didn't work?

You get weekly reporting and tracking down to calls, leads, spend, speed-to-lead, and conversion, not just rankings. That lets us diagnose the full marketing path and give specific recommendations. If you choose the complimentary boost, you can also test the work before starting a campaign.

What if Google changes the algorithm?

We avoid shortcuts and monitor search changes continuously. When Google updates, we assess the data and adjust the GBP, content, citations, and authority work on your behalf while keeping the campaign aligned with the signals Google consistently rewards.
