Questions

Before you decide

How much is it?

$2,000, credited in full toward any package you start within 30 days.

Is it just an automated report?

No. The free score is automated. The audit is five days of expert review, written up by hand and walked through with you.

What do I need to provide?

A short form about your services, towns, and competitors. Read-only access to Google Search Console or Analytics is optional.

Do I have to hire you afterward?

No. The plan is yours to do yourself or with anyone.

How is it different from the free score?

The free score checks your homepage in a minute. The audit reviews your whole site, profile, listings, competitors, and AI answers, and ends with a walkthrough.
