At $2,500 a month for a single location, the Groundwork Audit has to show that coming back several times over before I take you on. PavePro did $1.02M in year one at that spend. If I cannot see the math when I run your audit, I tell you and walk away. No sales call. No pitch deck.
Your phone is quieter than it was last quarter. The competitor with worse work is on top of the map. The two agencies you tried before sent reports nobody read. The free Groundwork Audit names what is actually broken, live on a short call, signed by me.

Real Mississippi clients. Different bottlenecks. Pick a tab.
Every client starts with a free Groundwork Audit, done live on a short call. It names the bottleneck. Then there are two ways forward: a one-time Website Build to get you found fast, or Magnolia Growth, the monthly engine that wins the map. The audit tells you which one you need first.
A custom 5-page site, built to rank and load in under a second. You write nothing: I build it from one intake form. You own the domain, first year hosting included.

Single location. Multi-location is quoted after your free Groundwork Audit. Your website is built and maintained inside the retainer.
Magnolia Growth is $2,500 a month for a single location. Multi-location (more than one Google Business Profile) is quoted after your free Groundwork Audit. At $2,500 a month, the audit has to show that coming back several times over, or I tell you and walk away. No package tiers. No upsells. No "starter / pro / enterprise."
The Groundwork Audit is the front door. No obligation past that.

SEO is one lever. Software is one lever. Automations are one lever. AI is one lever. Most businesses do not need all four. Most do not even need two. The Groundwork Audit decides which ones matter for you. Then I build the system around it.

Vehicle wraps · Canton, MS
Already a 7-figure word-of-mouth business. Zero search presence to compound it.
Local SEO across multiple Mississippi cities. 73 calls a quarter to 148. Now a 7-figure search business too.
[ Same Groundwork Audit. Different prescriptions. That is what bottleneck-first means. ]
Rankings start moving. GBP optimized, citations built, technical SEO locked in. The first upward movement is visible.
Top 3 positions on core keywords. New customers calling from Google. The system pays for itself.
Dominant positions across your service area. Authority gap widens. Competitors cannot catch up.
The Groundwork Audit is phase one. After we engage, work starts the same week. The methodology is consistent; the scope is yours.
12 quick questions, then you book a short call. I look at your site, GBP, rankings, conversion path, and reputation, then screen-share exactly what I found and what to fix first. Free, no obligation.
Full GBP takeover, technical SEO review and implementation, 40+ citation listings, and a competitor intelligence report. The baseline gets locked in before we start moving the bottleneck the Groundwork Audit named.
Link building campaigns, 3 GBP posts per week, 2-4 new city and service pages per month, automated review generation, and monthly performance reports. The machine runs every month.
Rankings hold. Authority widens. Calls keep coming from customers who found you first. The work runs every month, the result compounds, and competitors fall further behind on the keywords that matter to your business.
PavePro was getting 12 calls a quarter from Google. One year in, they were getting 61. Nearly all 46 tracked keywords at #1 across multiple Mississippi cities. The Groundwork Audit named the bottleneck. The work fixed it.
Phone calls and online forms drive your business. That is the wedge. Trades, restaurants, salons, healthcare, retail, equipment rental, pest control, real estate, automotive. Anyone whose customers drive to find them. The only ones I do not work with are out-of-state, e-commerce, and DTC.
No revenue floor. If you are a tradesman thinking about breaking out on your own to do dock repair on the Gulf Coast, I will price it, model your profit-per-job, find the break-even where the side business beats the day job, and build the whole thing with you.
No revenue ceiling either. The biggest mistake $5M operators make is assuming they do not need a system because the business is "working." It is working with five lead inboxes and a foreman with a notebook. We can do better than that.

Most clients see measurable organic ranking movement within 60-90 days. Map pack improvement typically follows within the same window, though that depends partly on review velocity which you control. Some niches are more competitive and take longer. I will be straightforward on our first call about what your specific market looks like. The full compounding effect builds over 6-12 months. Month 12 looks very different from month 1.
No contracts. But I will be direct: if you cannot commit to at least 6 months, do not expect to reach the top and stay there. Local SEO compounds. Reviews build. Content builds authority. Link profiles strengthen. The businesses that dominate their market are the ones that stayed consistent. I do not lock you in because I do not need to. 100% client retention rate for the last 4 years. That does not happen when you are overcharging or underdelivering.
Most agency failures come down to three things: no clear deliverables, no accountability, and strategies built for their workflow not your market. I fix all three. You know exactly what is being done each month. I only work in Mississippi, which means I know your competitive landscape by default. I do not take direct competitors in the same market, so my interests are aligned with yours. And I have kept every client I have taken on in the last 4 years. That track record is my accountability.
Yes. Two ways to get one. The one-time Website Build is a custom 5-page site for $1,500, live in 5 business days, and the full price credits toward SEO if you start within 90 days. Or, on Magnolia Growth, your website is built and maintained inside the retainer. Either way you own the domain and the site. If your current site is fine, I will work with it. If it is holding your SEO back, I will tell you honestly in the audit.
When you sign as a paving company in Madison, I will not take another paving company in Madison. Not while you are a client. If you leave, that trade in that city opens up again. Real constraint, not a marketing claim. The audit conversation includes a market availability check, because some cities and trades are already claimed.
The audit is free. After that, two ways in. The Website Build is a one-time $1,500 site, live in 5 business days, credited toward SEO if you start within 90 days. Magnolia Growth is $2,500 a month for a single location (multi-location quoted after the audit), with your website built and maintained inside the retainer. At $2,500 a month, the audit has to show the math working, the way PavePro returned $1.02M in year one. Month to month, cancel anytime with 30 days notice. SEO compounds, so the one ask is that you give the work a fair 6 months to show results before you judge it, and no chargebacks in that window.
I diagnose. If marketing is not the answer, I tell you what is. You leave the audit with a diagnosis and a direction. Just not from me. No invoice, no obligation. The audit you keep.
Three places, mostly. Customer qualification (a 24/7 AI receptionist that books while you work). Internal accountability (daily to-dos, automatic reports that catch problems before you would). Lead routing (so a single inbound does not get lost between five inboxes). AI replaces the headcount you would otherwise have to hire to keep up. Used right, it is the difference between a business that scales and one that breaks at the next jump.
Get the Groundwork Audit. 12 quick questions, then we get on a short call where I screen-share exactly what I found. Free, no pitch deck.
