Top three on Google
in 90 days.
Or your $500 back.
When someone nearby searches for what you do, Google puts three businesses on the map. Those three get the call. If you're 4th, you're not on it. I get local service companies into those three spots, and you see every change before I make it.

Google ranks the map partly by how far each business is from the person searching. In Google's own words: "Distance refers to how far each business is from the customer who's searching."
So from your shop, you look fine. From your customers' homes, two to ten miles out, plenty of good businesses sit 4th to 8th, and the three above them get the call.
The free check shows where you stand across your town, not just from your shop.

With me
- ✓Checked from 25 spots across your town, the way customers see it.

Two settings were hiding a 4.9-star company.
In October I looked up a turf company near Tampa: 48 reviews, 4.9 stars, in business since 2007. For "artificial turf installation" it wasn't in the first 56 results.
Google had it filed as a pickleball court, with no phone number. The owner fixed both within a day.
That's where I start with every business: the settings that decide whether Google shows you at all.
You approve every change.

I'm Jack.
I live in Virginia Beach. For the last two years I've made my living selling on camera: more than $890,000 of product through my TikTok videos and livestreams since January 2025. That taught me the one thing that matters to your business: what makes a stranger pick up the phone, and what makes them scroll past.
I started doing this for local companies when I kept finding good businesses Google barely showed, over settings that take an afternoon to fix.
I'm one person. You'll always talk to me.

How fast?
Settings changes show on Google within days. Climbing into the top three takes weeks, longer in a crowded trade. Day 90 is the deadline. Not there by then? You get your $500 back.
How do you measure "top three"?
One search we agree on, written the way your customers type it, like "fence company norfolk va." I check it from one spot in your town we agree on before you pay, usually where most of your customers are, not your shop. I search signed out of Google, during business hours, so it's what a customer there sees. Top three means you're one of the three businesses in the map results at the top of that search. You get a screenshot on day one and on day 90.
Do I lose control of my listing?
No. You stay the owner. I'm a manager you add in two minutes and can remove in one.
Do you run ads?
No. This is the free side of Google: the map and the organic results.
I already show up. Do I need this?
Send your name for the free check and I'll tell you straight. If you're already in the top three, I'll say so, and you keep your money.
Can't I just do this myself?
Yes. The category and phone fix take an afternoon if you know where to look, and I'll tell you where on the free check. Most owners don't have the afternoon, and the monthly part is what keeps you there.
