Getting found on Google

When someone nearby searches for what you do, your hours, number, and website should show up right. I set that up and keep it up, every month.

What I can and can't do

Google decides where businesses show up. Nobody can promise you a spot, and I won't.

What I can do is make sure nothing on your end is holding you back: your Google profile is complete and accurate, your website clearly says what you do and where, and it's easy for Google, and your customers, to read.

What I set up and keep up

Your Google Business Profile

Set up, filled out, and linked to your website. Your hours, holiday hours, services, and photos kept accurate, so customers don't show up when you're closed.

Accurate info everywhere

Your business name, address, phone number, and hours match on your website and your Google profile, so Google and your customers get the same story.

Review tools (Ridgeline & Summit)

A direct Google review link, a printable QR code card, and a ready-to-send text or email you send after each job, plus reply templates you personalize and post yourself.

A site Google can read easily

Clear page titles, headings that say what you do and where, and a site that loads fast on phones. Your Google search data is set up in your name, so you can look anytime.

Across the Shenandoah Valley

I'm in Churchville and work with businesses all over the Valley. Find your area:

Questions about Google

Do you help businesses in Harrisonburg, Staunton, and Charlottesville show up on Google?

Yes. I work with businesses across the Shenandoah Valley: Harrisonburg, Staunton, Waynesboro, Lexington, Charlottesville, and the surrounding counties. I set up your Google Business Profile, keep your information accurate everywhere, and make sure your website clearly says what you do and where.

How much does it cost?

It's built into every plan. Every site is set up so Google can read it easily. Ridgeline and Summit add more: your Google Business Profile filled out and fine-tuned, deeper Google setup, and review tools. See the Services page for what each plan includes.

Can you guarantee I'll show up first on Google?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. Google decides where you show up. What I can do is make sure nothing on your end is holding you back, and set up your Google search data in your name so you can see how people find you anytime.

How long until I see a difference?

Fixes to your Google profile and website can be picked up within days or a few weeks. Beyond that, it depends on your business, your area, and what other businesses are doing, and Google has the final say. You'll have your own Google search data, so you can see what's happening for yourself.

Can you help if you didn't build my website?

Often, yes. I'll start with the free checkup: a look at your site and Google profile, and a plain-English list of what I'd fix. Some fixes are quick; sometimes a new site is simpler. I'll tell you honestly which.

For the technical folks

The details your web developer or IT person might ask about. You don't need any of this to work with me.

Every site ships with server-rendered HTML, per-page titles and meta descriptions, canonical URLs, an XML sitemap, robots.txt, and JSON-LD structured data (LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, and Breadcrumb).

Google Search Console and Google Analytics are set up and verified in the client's own Google account, so the data stays theirs.

Next step

What can I help with?

Start with a free website & Google checkup. I'll look at your site and Google profile and tell you, in plain English, what's working and what isn't. No charge, no pressure.
