Every business I work with starts from a different place. Some have 10 reviews and a broken Google listing. Others have a solid reputation but are losing jobs to missed calls. What I build depends on where you are right now, and what you get out of it depends on factors I do not fully control, including your market, your pricing, how quickly your team responds to leads, and how the systems are maintained over time.
I will not promise you a specific number of jobs or a dollar figure. What I will do is show you exactly what I find in the audit, tell you what each fix is designed to do, and track the results honestly. If something is not working, I say so.
