How we work · Maryville, Knoxville & East Tennessee

Here's exactly what happens after you call.

No mystery, no 40-page onboarding packet. Four steps, ninety days, and a number you can hold us to. Month to month, because we'd rather earn it.

Most contractors we meet have been burned by an agency that went quiet after the first invoice. So before we ask you for anything, here is the whole plan — what we do, what we need from you, and what you should expect to see and when. If any part of this looks like work you could do yourself, we'll tell you that on the call.

    Week 1

    The Audit

    What we do

    Pull your Google Business Profile, your site, your reviews, your citations and your current rankings, then run the same AI prompt-set we run on your competitors — the literal questions a homeowner in Maryville and Knoxville types into ChatGPT and Google AI. You get the results whether or not you hire us.

    What you do

    One 45-minute call and login access. That's the whole ask.

    What you get

    A written picture of where you actually stand, including the queries where a competitor is getting named and you aren't.

    The Foundation

    What we do

    Fix what's leaking before we spend a dollar on traffic. Google Business Profile rebuilt and categorized correctly. Technical and schema errors cleared. Call tracking and form tracking installed so every lead after this point is attributable. Review requests automated after every completed job.

    What you do

    Approve the profile changes and tell your crew the review text is coming. Roughly an hour of your time across three weeks.

    What you get

    Lead quality moves first. Most owners notice the tire-kicker calls drop before the total call volume rises — that's the foundation working.

    Visibility

    What we do

    Build the pages and content that make you the answer — service pages, the Maryville and Knoxville cities that actually pay, and content written so Google ranks it and AI can quote it. Ads or Local Services Ads turned on where the phone needs to ring sooner than SEO can deliver.

    What you do

    Answer questions only you can answer — which jobs you want more of, which you want fewer of, what you charge.

    What you get

    Your first monthly report lands the first Monday of the month, with a 2–3 minute video walkthrough. It leads with booked jobs, not impressions.

    Month 4 onward

    Compounding

    What we do

    The same work, stacking. More content, more cities, more reviews, tighter ads. Every quarter you get a Strategy & Coaching Session that works on your side of the equation too — how leads get answered, how reviews get asked for, whether the offer and the capacity still match.

    What you do

    Show up to one meeting a quarter and keep doing good work.

    What you get

    A cost per booked job you can actually state. And you're still month-to-month — we'd rather earn it than lock you in.
