Your customers are searching. They keep finding someone else.
Being on page one is not the job any more. The job is being the name that comes back when someone asks, whether they ask Google, the map, or an assistant. This is the work that puts you there.
Every number on this site comes from a stored run
businesses measured across NYC and Long Island
towns swept
trades covered
Source: the September 2026 sweep rosters. Counts refresh when the next sweep runs.
Six things, all done for you
Google profile, done right
Categories, hours, services, photos. A wrong category can keep you off the map entirely.
Reviews that compound
An automatic ask after the job, so the wall keeps growing without you remembering to chase it.
A site Google and AI can read
Structured data, a readable title and description, crawlers allowed, and an llms.txt file.
Listings that agree everywhere
One name, one number, one address, everywhere. Disagreement reads as doubt to Google.
AI answers, tracked
We check whether assistants name you when someone asks for your line of work, and work to change it when they do not.
A report you can actually read
What moved, what did not, and what is next. No jargon and no screenshot dump.
What actually decides it here, signal by signal
Not theory. Each of the five below is something we measured across 1271 Nassau businesses in September, and each one is something you can check on your own listing this afternoon.
Whether your listing answers the question Google is asked
88 of the businesses we measured publish no hours at all, so Google cannot show them as open to anyone. 398 carry fewer than ten photos, on a listing customers choose by looking.
Hours, categories, service areas and photos are what Google has to work with when somebody searches at an hour you are not reading email. It is the cheapest thing to fix and the most commonly left half done.
Whether the website on your listing opens
91 of the listings we measured point at a website that does not load. One Long Island spa's booking page took 16.3 seconds on a phone against Google's own bar of 2.5, while the business itself was rated 4.9 on 96 reviews. None of that rating survived the wait.
A dead or slow link is worse than no link. The searcher has already chosen you at that point, and the page is where they stop choosing you.
How many reviews the rest of your category has
The median runs from 12 for Nassau contractors to 107 for repair shops.
There is no universal number. The only one that matters is the middle of your own line of work in your own county, because that is who you are shown beside.
Whether you appear at all for your own town
468 of 1271 are not in the first sixty for the best of their kind in their own town. No town held more of one kind than that, so none of them was crowded out by the size of the list.
This is the outcome the other four feed, and it is the one almost nobody checks, because you cannot see it by searching for yourself. Google already knows where you are.
Whether an assistant can read you well enough to name you
This site scores 100 out of 100 on Google's own speed test and loads in 1.2 seconds on a phone. That is not a boast, it is the floor: a page an assistant cannot fetch quickly is a page it does not quote.
ChatGPT and Gemini pick differently from Google. They quote businesses they can describe, which means structured data, a page that parses, and service pages that answer a question rather than list adjectives. This part is new and moving, and it is the part most of this market has not started.
Three steps, no mystery
-
Free snapshot
Your business name and town. The snapshot lands the same day.
-
Fix-first plan
The full audit, which credits toward your first month. Fast wins first, so no month is wasted on the wrong thing.
-
The climb
Month-to-month work, measured by the same engine every month so you see exactly what moved.
Every number here is one you can trace
The score behind all of this reads five signals and refuses to print anything it could not measure. The weights, the deductions and the rules are published rather than described.
Common questions
- How much does it cost?
- The snapshot is free and lands the same day. The full audit is $350 and it credits toward your first month. Ongoing plans start at $500 a month, month to month, and cancel in one email. Every price is on the pricing page with the arithmetic already done, rather than behind a call.
- Do you guarantee rankings?
- No, and nobody honestly can. What is guaranteed is that every number you get is measured, dated, and traceable to the run that produced it.
- What does local SEO even mean now?
- Search engine optimization used to mean one thing: move a page up the list of blue links. Local search engine optimization is a different job now. You are trying to be the business the map box shows, the one an assistant names when somebody asks who to call, and the one whose listing answers the question before the click. The page still matters. It is no longer the whole of it.
- Do I have to sign anything?
- No. Month to month, cancel in one email, and no setup fee.
- Does this work if I have no storefront and work out of a van?
- Yes, and it is a different setup. A service-area business hides its address and publishes the towns it covers instead, which changes which signals Google can even read. Most of the trades in our sweeps work this way, and so do we.
- Do you cover Suffolk County as well as Nassau?
- Yes, both. Suffolk has its own page with its own September sweep on it, rather than Nassau's numbers with the county name swapped, and so do Queens and Brooklyn.
- What happens if it does not work?
- You cancel in one email and keep the site, the profile and the reviews, because they were yours the whole time. There is no contract and no setup fee to write off. The monthly re-check is there so you see the direction early rather than at the end of a year.
