Near-me demand now resolves in two places: the map pack and AI recommendations that name specific providers. One entity-discipline program feeds both.
Six workstreams, one senior team, every hour logged.
Categories, services, attributes, posts, photos, and Q&A run with homepage-level discipline, weekly.
One canonical record deployed character-for-character across the top directories, then the long tail, then re-audited quarterly.
Prompts engineered so reviews contain services, suburbs, and outcomes in sentences both algorithms quote.
Service-area pages with genuinely local proof, not city-name swaps, structured for the local answer box.
Geo, hours, service catalog, and reviews marked up and connected to one Organization entity.
Grid-based map rankings plus monthly prompt tests for the near-me questions AI now answers with names.
Every service on this site bills at the same senior-specialist rate. No packages, no retainers, no lock-ins: you approve a written hour estimate before we start.

A three-van plumber invisible past its own street ran the full entity program. Ninety days later it held map pack positions in five suburbs and was the named recommendation in two assistant answers.

AI answers won
“Technical debt from three migrations, cleaned up with surgical changelists our devs could merge same day.”
“AEO was a buzzword to our board until the before and after answer-box report. Now it is a budget line.”
“We rank, we get cited by Gemini, and I understand every invoice. That combination did not exist before them.”
Twelve straight answers before you ever get on a call.
Profile and citation fixes show movement in 4 to 8 weeks; competitive metros take longer. Review velocity is usually the deciding lever.
Yes, with per-location profiles, pages, and tracking grids. The entity discipline scales; the local proof stays local.
We manage the flagging process and the response strategy. Removal is Google's call, but properly documented flags succeed more often than people expect.
Yes. SABs have their own profile rules, and we configure radius, hidden address, and service listings to match them exactly.
Included in the citation layer. They feed both their own users and several AI assistants, so they stopped being optional.
Usually more so: less competition, faster wins, and AI assistants still need someone to recommend there.
Every service bills at the same senior rate. You approve a written hour estimate before any work starts, and every invoice ships with a task-level time log. No packages, no minimum retainers, no lock-in contracts.
Senior specialists with 8 or more years in search, supported by our AI search research team. We never hand delivery to juniors or outsource it; the person on your kickoff call is the person in your account.
Most engagements kick off within 2 business days of an approved estimate. Urgent fixes, penalties, migrations, or launch deadlines, can start same-day on request.
Yes. We serve the US, UK, Australia, and the Middle East daily, with overlapping working hours and reporting aligned to your time zone.
A monthly report your leadership can actually read: rankings, answer-box and AI citation coverage, work completed with hours, and the plan for the next cycle. Dashboards on request.
Yes. Because billing is hourly against approved estimates, there is nothing to cancel. Finish the current approved scope, or pause it, and you owe nothing further.

For near-me intent, the profile gets more impressions than your site. Treat it with homepage-level discipline.
Name, address, phone, and categories must match everywhere, character for character. Mismatch is the quiet killer.
AI assistants now name specific local providers with addresses and phone numbers. The signals overlap heavily with map pack work.
