Cost, timing and the question every owner asks
How much does it cost?
Most of the budget goes into work you can see: pages written, profile fixes, listings corrected and review requests sent. Ad spend, if you run ads, is billed by the platform straight to you.
That split keeps our fee tied to the work. For locksmith companies, single services start at $100 a month and the full plan at $399.
How long does it take?
Month one is setup and quick wins: profile categories corrected, call tracking installed, listing errors fixed and review requests switched on. Month two is usually pages, and by month three there’s enough data to see which parts of Marble Falls are responding.
Some locksmith companies see more calls within weeks. In a crowded market it can take several months, and anyone promising a ranking by a date is guessing.
Will this get me more locksmith calls?
Rankings are only useful if they turn into locksmith calls. That’s why the monthly report leads with calls, forms and bookings, and puts rankings underneath as the explanation.
If a month dips, the report says whether it was the season, a competitor or something on your site. It’s one reason we hold a 4.8-star Google rating from 148 reviews.
Mistakes worth fixing first
Chasing rankings for phrases nobody searches is a surprisingly common way to spend a budget. So is publishing thirty thin area pages with only the town name swapped.
Neither produces calls. A shorter list of pages aimed at real searches, each with something worth reading, does better every time.
