The short version
Prefer agencies that separate GBP ops, on-site SEO and answering, publish prices, and refuse ranking guarantees. Our optional retainer is $1,000/mo and excludes growth-layer Maps packaging.
Separate the products
Profile management, on-site SEO, ads and answering solve different holes. A single vague retainer hides that.
Demand call reporting
If they celebrate rankings while ignoring unanswered calls, they are optimizing a vanity metric.
Our line in the sand
$1,000/mo optional SEO. $149/mo GBP management. No Climbo-style growth layer sell. Founding websites $1,250/14 days.
