Real Results
Representative results from dentists, plumbers, restaurants, and retail shops we've worked with across the Bay Area. Anonymized to protect client privacy — the numbers and methods are real.
Our Methodology
Real results come from a repeatable process — not luck.
Impressions and keyword counts look nice on a dashboard, but they don't pay the bills. Every case study below focuses on what actually moved — calls, direction requests, form fills, and booked jobs. If a metric doesn't tie back to revenue, we don't celebrate it.
Our reporting tracks the actions that turn into customers: phone calls from Google Business Profile, direction requests from map pack listings, and qualified form submissions. That's how we measure whether local SEO is actually working — not by rank alone.
Before we touch anything, we run the same structured audit we use for every client. It catches the exact issues holding a business back — NAP inconsistencies, thin GBP categories, missing service pages, review gaps, and more. You can preview a lightweight version with our GBP Health Scorecard.
Local SEO isn't overnight, but it's also not a year-long wait. In most of our engagements, the first measurable lift in calls or map pack visibility shows up within the first 30 to 60 days — usually from GBP cleanup, review velocity, and on-page fixes. Bigger ranking shifts follow over the next few months.
Every change we make is logged. Screenshots, rank snapshots, call tracking data, and GBP insights — all captured at baseline and tracked monthly. When you ask “what actually changed?” we can show you, line by line. No black box, no hand-waving.

Case Studies
Anonymized to protect client confidentiality. Numbers are typical — your results may vary.
Situation: A general dentistry practice with a beautiful website but an under-optimized Google Business Profile. Only 12 reviews, inconsistent NAP across directories, and invisible in the local map pack for core terms like “dentist near me” in their city.
What we did: Ran the full 56-point audit, cleaned up GBP categories and services, fixed NAP across 40+ citations, launched a review request workflow tied to appointment follow-ups, and published location-specific service pages. Details in our .
Results (6 months): Grew from 12 to 65+ Google reviews, moved into the top 3 of the map pack for primary search terms, and saw a meaningful lift in new patient phone calls directly from GBP. See how we approach reviews in .
Situation: An established plumbing company leaning heavily on Google Ads to keep the phones ringing. Organic and map pack visibility were weak, ad spend kept climbing, and lead cost was starting to squeeze margins. Their GBP had basics filled in but no ongoing work.
What we did: Rebuilt their GBP with proper service categories and service areas, added dedicated city + service landing pages, fixed technical SEO issues on the site, and launched an ongoing review and GBP post cadence. Methodology mirrors our .
Results (6 months): Shifted the lead mix from nearly all paid to roughly 60% organic and map pack, with total lead volume up and blended cost per lead down. Ad spend is still part of the mix — it's just no longer the only channel keeping trucks busy.
Situation: A neighborhood restaurant in the Mission with great food and loyal regulars, but a barely-setup Google Business Profile. No menu, outdated photos, minimal reviews, and weak visibility for “restaurants near me” searches from tourists and nearby residents.
What we did: Fully rebuilt the GBP with menu, photos, attributes, and booking link. Launched a review request flow tied to check drops and online orders, added structured data for menu and hours, and optimized for neighborhood-level searches. More in our .
Results (6 months): Grew to 200+ Google reviews with a healthy average rating, saw a ~30% increase in reservations attributed to Google, and became consistently visible in the map pack for neighborhood restaurant searches. Direction requests from GBP also climbed noticeably.
Situation: An independent retail shop with a Shopify site buried on page 3+ for its core product categories. Strong in-store following but almost no organic discovery online. GBP was claimed but thin, and local competitors were eating their lunch in search.
What we did: Worked through the approach, rebuilt category pages with proper on-page SEO, fixed technical issues, optimized GBP with products and photos, and built a small set of relevant local citations and links.
Results (6 months): Reached page 1 — and in several cases the #1 spot — for 5 of their core product category searches in the Berkeley area. Organic sessions and store visits from Google both trended up steadily across the engagement window.
