The Situation
Trusted locally. Invisible online.
Seven-plus years in business. Strong local reputation. And yet — zero presence in local search, with only 28 Google reviews to their name. Competitors with less experience and weaker workmanship were quietly outranking them. The mandate was clear: build their digital reputation and local search authority systematically and measurably.

The System
The 3-Part System We Deployed
Website & SEO Audit
We ran a forensic audit of the website and Google Business Profile. Every gap — from missing schema and slow pages to profile inconsistencies — was documented and prioritized into a master action plan.
Digital Reputation Management
We deployed automated review request workflows triggered at every post-job touchpoint, and responded to every incoming review within 24 hours. The result: 28 to 76 Google reviews in 90 days, with the 5.0 rating held perfectly steady.
Social Media to Google Signal Sync
We connected social activity directly to the Google Business Profile so every post reinforced consistent local search signals. The Local 3-Pack was cracked within 90 days.
