What to expect

What actually happens on the call

The 18-minute strategy call is structured to give you useful information whether or not you end up becoming a client. There is no pitch deck, no slideshow, and no time wasted on small talk. The call is about your business, your current position on Google, and what a realistic improvement looks like.

The call covers three things

  • Where you currently sit on Google for your most valuable search terms, including keywords your competitors are ranking for that you are not
  • What is most likely holding your rankings back: technical issues, missing content, weak Google Business Profile, or lack of local citations
  • What a 90-day improvement plan would look like and a straight answer on whether paid search, local SEO, or both is the right channel for your budget

Who gets the most out of it

The call works best for service businesses with a physical location or service area: trades, health and wellness, hospitality, professional services, automotive. If your customers are local and you rely on phone calls or bookings, there is almost always a clear opportunity.

It also works well for business owners who are already spending on Google Ads but are not sure if their budget is being used efficiently. A quick look at the account structure usually reveals whether the spend is working or leaking.

What happens after the call

If it makes sense to work together, you will get a short written proposal within 24 hours covering scope, monthly cost, and a realistic 90-day target. There is no pressure to sign anything on the call. Take as long as you need to decide.

If the call reveals that SEO is not the right move for you right now, you leave with a clear picture of why and what to focus on instead. Either way, 18 minutes is a worthwhile investment.

Is this a sales call?+

No. It is a diagnostic call. You will leave knowing more about your Google presence than when you started, regardless of what you decide to do next.

How do I prepare?+

Just know your main services and the areas you serve. That is enough to have a useful conversation.

What if I am already working with an agency?+

That is fine. A second opinion on your current campaign is often useful. We are happy to take a look and give you an honest read on what is working and what is not.

Can I bring a business partner?+

Yes. The more context on the call, the better the advice.
