FAQ
Questions we get asked
Why are we not in the map pack?
Usually one of three things: inconsistent name, address and phone across directories, which fragments your entity; too few or too old reviews relative to competitors; or a service-area configuration that does not match how people actually search. The audit identifies which applies.
Can we rank in cities where we have no office?
Not in the map pack, which requires a genuine physical presence. You can rank organically for city-plus-service queries with well-built service-area pages, and for many businesses that organic placement is worth more than the map pack anyway.
How long before we see results?
Traditional ranking improvements typically appear within 60 to 90 days, faster on pages already ranking between positions 8 and 20. AI citations follow a consistent curve: entity indexing at 30 to 45 days, first citations around day 60, consistent mentions by day 90, stable visibility at 4 to 6 months.
What does it cost?
Consulting is $30 per hour. Retainers are scoped after the audit, because quoting before diagnosis is guesswork. Run the free audit first and the priority usually becomes obvious.
