What timeline to expect, and why consistency wins
Most owners search their business name and stop. Prospects don’t. Search the service plus your city. Search the question a customer would ask. If you’re not in the top three local results or the organic listings, now you know where you stand.
Paid ads are like buying tomatoes at the store. Stop paying, stop eating. SEO is like growing a garden. More work up front, but it compounds and keeps paying you back.
The fundamentals that win on Google also win in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. Clear answers, FAQ-style content, consistent business info, schema markup. Do SEO right and you’re already doing AI search.
Optimize your Google Business Profile. Fill out every field. Add real photos. Be clear about what you do and where. Ask happy customers for reviews, and reply to every one. For most local businesses it’s the first thing prospects see, and it costs nothing.
