We asked our clients what Google brings them now: how many calls and quote requests, how many close, and what a job is worth. These are their answers.
Owner-reported numbers, collected September and October 2026. Yearly figures are our math on the owner's numbers, shown with each client.
"You're my fourth SEO guy. I never received any phone calls from my website. I did close three deals since working with you, and the hard numbers are $65,000."
Bill, owner
"I get super excited when I see these people actually coming through my website, because I've never seen it in four years."
"Probably after two months, things started flowing. But you were candid about that."
"I trust you. You're a very straight shooter."
Owner-reported, October 2026.
"SEO is kind of a bad acronym to a lot of business owners, until I found you. But it's working. It's working."

"Brian really educated me on how these things work, and was able to implement systems and processes to help me grow my business."
"He responds quickly. It's been a breath of fresh air."
The math: ~22 more requests a month × 5 in 10 close × $400 average job = ~$4,500 a month.
Owner-reported, October 2026.
"He's totally different from any of these big marketing agencies that reach out to you on Google or Instagram."
James, Mr Green Turf Clean
"Since working with you my phone has been ringing off the hook and I have been getting lots of new clients. Whatever you are doing, please keep doing it!"

"A lot of them have told me that they found me on ChatGPT."
"One of the people who recently signed up as a client told me she went to Google and found me when she typed in 'divorce attorney Poway.'"
The math: 8 new clients × $4,700 retainer = $37,600. Includes clients from Google search, Maps, ChatGPT and the Google Ads we manage for him.
Clients and retainer: owner-reported, October 2026. Website inquiries and listing calls: our tracking, Q3 2026.

The math: ~10 more requests a month × 6-7 in 10 close × $400 average job = ~$2,700 a month.
