Listing your business on Google is free. Getting it right is not, and the profiles that get suspended in month one are the ones set up in a hurry: wrong category, home address showing, service areas guessed, verification half done. Book a 20-minute call and we set it up properly, together.

Free 20-minute setup call
I text you within 24 hours to book the call. We claim it, set the category and start verification while we are on the phone.
Six settings decide whether a new profile shows up or sits invisible. Most are set wrong by default.
We set all six on the call, in the order Google's spam filter expects to see them.
New contractor profiles are suspended for setup mistakes far more often than for anything they did later.
Google reads a house on Maps as a fake storefront. Hide it, list service areas instead.
Category, hours, photos and areas changed in one sitting looks like a takeover. Space it out.
A DBA on the profile that does not match the license or insurance.
Fine by text, against the rules inside a Google post.
If you have already tripped one of these, the reinstatement page covers the appeal.
Twenty minutes, on the phone, together.
Use the form above. I text you within 24 hours to pick a time.
Category, service areas, description, services, hours, phone, website, all set while we talk.
I tell you exactly what the video needs to show so it passes the first time.
Photos, posts, reviews and Q&A on a schedule, if you want our system behind it. Optional.

I built Echo Local because home service businesses were getting ripped off by SEO agencies. They would pay $2,000 to $5,000 a month for vague reports and recycled blog posts. When they stopped paying, everything disappeared.
I think about an SEO system the same way I think about a 401k. The work I do today should still be paying you back five years from now. That is the difference between renting visibility and owning it.
I only work with home service businesses, and I do the work myself. No account managers, no handoffs, no offshore contractor doing your content. If you have a question, you text me.
Free audit walkthrough. I review your site, GBP, and top 5 competitors live with you on a 20-minute call. No slides, no canned pitch.
No contracts. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime, no questions, no fees.
You see every metric I see. Live dashboard pulls from Google Search Console, Analytics, and your Business Profile. If a number goes down, you see it and you see what I am doing about it.
You talk to me, not an account manager. Text my cell. That is the support team.
Pick a time, right now
No pitch unless you ask for one. Google Meet. Pick whichever time works.

Google does not charge for a Business Profile. Setup is included when you start our local SEO system. If you only want the profile set up and nothing else, ask and I will quote it flat.
Google decides. Some profiles verify in minutes, most contractor profiles now get video verification and come back within a few days. We prepare what the video needs to show so it passes the first time.
No. You set it up as a service-area business with the address hidden and your service areas listed. Showing a home address is the most common reason new contractor profiles get suspended.
Yes, and we walk the same checklist on the call. The value is not the clicks, it is knowing which category, which service areas and which settings keep you visible and out of the suspension queue.
That is an appeal, not a setup. It is $349, billed only after Google restores the profile. See the reinstatement page.
Twenty minutes now saves the suspension appeal later. Book the call and your profile goes up the way Google expects it.
