What you get

Everything in Care, plus the visibility work.

Care keeps the lights on. Grow turns those lights into a sign that customers can actually find from a mile away.

📍

Google Business optimization

Hours, categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A — all dialed in. The thing that decides whether you show up in the "near me" map.

🔍

Local SEO + citations

Consistent business info on Yelp, Bing Places, Apple Maps, Yellow Pages, and the 30 directories Google actually checks.

📈

Monthly traffic & ranking reports

A plain-English email every month: which keywords moved up, where new visitors came from, what we'll work on next. No jargon.

✏️

Unlimited content & layout updates

No 3-hour cap. Send us as many text, photo, hours, menu, and layout changes as you need each month. We handle them all.

🎯

Keyword & content strategy

We pick the searches you should rank for and shape your site copy around them — without making it sound like SEO spam.

Review monitoring

We watch Google, Yelp, and Facebook reviews. When a tough one shows up, we draft a professional response for you to send.

🛡️

Everything in Care

Hosting, security, daily backups, SSL, plugin updates, priority support — all included, no separate plan needed.

📞

Quarterly strategy review

Every 3 months, a deep email recap of the quarter — plus a 60-minute strategy call to plan the next 90 days. See a sample ↓

Google Business Profile

The single most valuable thing a local business can do online — and most never do it right.

For a neighborhood business, your Google Business Profile drives more calls, directions, and walk-ins than your website ever will. We treat it like a second storefront: claimed, optimized, posted to weekly, monitored, and reported on — regardless of who built your site.

Setup & claim

We claim it, verify it, and fill every single field.

Most profiles use 30% of available fields. We use 100%: services menu, products, attributes, FAQs, opening hours, holiday hours, attributes like wheelchair access or curbside, payment methods, owner-uploaded photos with geotags, and category selection that matches what your customers actually search.

Weekly maintenance

Posts, photos, and Q&A every week — by us.

Active profiles rank higher. We publish a Google Post each week (offers, events, news), upload fresh customer-style photos, seed and answer common questions, and respond to reviews — either with your voice or a template you approve.

Local search

We chase the keywords your neighbors actually type.

We track 8–12 local keywords each month — “[your category] near me,” neighborhood searches, service-specific queries — and tune your profile, your existing website, and your citations to climb the rankings on each one. The monthly report shows you exactly where you stand.

Reviews & reputation

More 5-star reviews, never the awkward ask.

We set up an automated review request flow — a text or email goes out after a customer visit asking for a review, with a one-tap link to your Google profile. We monitor every new review and draft a thoughtful reply for you to approve.

Already on Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, or WordPress? Grow runs alongside your existing site — we don't need to touch the build. Many customers see calls and directions go up in the first 30 days, just from the Google Business work.

Quarter verdict · on track

A breakout quarter for local search — the playbook is working.

You closed Q1 ranked top-3 for 4 of 12 tracked keywords (up from zero), with $12,600 in estimated revenue attributed to local search — a 38% lift over the trailing 90 days. The compounding effect is real: review velocity is up 3x, your GBP photo views nearly doubled, and the new "Custom cakes" page is already in the top 10. Next quarter we double down on wedding cakes.

Strategic priorities ranked by projected impact
01
Build out wedding cakes as a category
New landing page targeting "wedding cakes Bay Area" (~2,400 searches/mo). Highest unrealized revenue on the board — 5x the volume of birthday cakes with a higher avg ticket.
Projected+$8–14K
02
Push "birthday cakes Oakland" into the top 3
Currently #7. Two supporting blog posts, GBP Q&A seeding, and 5 photo-with-cake reviews from recent custom-cake customers.
Projected+$3–5K
03
Drop the croissants cluster, harvest the time
After 12 weeks, "croissants near me" is flat at #6 against two well-established French bakeries. Redirect ~6 hrs/mo to wedding cakes content.
Projected+$1–2K

Common questions

Quick answers before you sign up.

Do you guarantee a top ranking?+
No, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. What we guarantee is the work — Google Business optimization, citation cleanup, content strategy, monthly reports — that consistently moves rankings up over 3-6 months. You'll see exactly what we did each month.
What if I don't have a Google Business profile yet?+
We'll create one and verify it for you. It usually takes 5-7 days for Google to send the postcard with the verification code, and we'll walk you through it.
How long until I see results?+
Honestly: 2-4 months for noticeable ranking shifts on competitive keywords; 6+ weeks for citation and GBP improvements to take effect. We send a report after month 1 so you can see baseline + what we've already done.
Can I switch from Care to Grow later?+
Yes, anytime. We'll do the GBP audit and citation cleanup as a one-time onboarding sprint when you upgrade, then continue monthly from there. No fee to switch.
What if I already have an SEO agency?+
Tell us at sign-up. We'll either coordinate (rare — most agencies don't play well together) or you can use Care + their SEO and skip Grow. We won't fight over your account.
Can I cancel?+
Anytime. We'll hand off your site, your hosting, your domain, and your GBP. The improvements we made stay yours — citations don't disappear when you cancel.
