Advice on how the business actually makes money, a brand that matches what you charge, and the listings work that decides whether people can find you at all.

## Advice with numbers attached.

### Business consulting

Where your revenue actually comes from, which customers are worth keeping, what to charge, and which offers quietly lose money. Usually the most valuable session we run.

### Growth advisory

Pricing, margins and offer structure — the levers that move profit rather than the vanity metrics that move dashboards.

### Visibility audit

Every place a customer could plausibly find you, and every place you are currently missing. Most businesses are absent from more than half of them.

### Competitive review

What the businesses beating you are doing differently, in specifics you can act on, not a SWOT diagram.

## Claimed, correct, consistent.

### Google Business Profile

Claimed, verified and filled in completely — categories, services, attributes, hours, photos and posts. The single highest-return listing for most local businesses.

### Yelp

Profile built out properly and kept current, with a response process for reviews rather than silence.

### Apple Business Connect

Increasingly how iPhone users find local businesses through Maps and Siri, and still missed by most competitors.

### Bing Places & directories

Bing Places, industry directories and the data aggregators that quietly feed everything else.

### Consistency (NAP)

Name, address and phone identical everywhere. Inconsistency across listings actively suppresses local rankings, and it is the most common fault we find.

### Reviews

A system for asking at the right moment, so ratings climb steadily without anyone having to beg.

## Looking like your prices.

- **Visual identity** — logo, palette, typography, and the rules for applying them.
- **Messaging** — the sentence you lead with, and the three that back it up.
- **Design system** — reusable components so everything you produce later stays consistent.
- **Collateral** — decks, one-pagers, signage, vehicle livery and social templates, in editable files you keep.

## Visibility results.

### Fernbrook Clinic

Absent from Apple Maps, unclaimed on Yelp, and three different phone numbers across directories. Cleaned up and kept consistent.

- **+3.2x** map views
- **4.8** avg rating

### Verge Fitness

New identity and messaging that let three studios raise prices instead of discounting memberships to fill classes.

- **+22%** avg price
- **+87%** sign-ups

### Studio Nine

A pricing and offer review that dropped two loss-making services and repackaged the rest.

- **+34%** margin
- **-2** services

## What they said.

> We had three different phone numbers listed across the internet. Nobody had ever mentioned it. Fixing that alone changed our week.

> The consulting session paid for the whole year. They told us to stop selling two things we were proud of and losing money on.

## Brand and listings questions.

#### Do we own the listings?

Yes. Every profile is created or claimed under your business with you as the owner. We take manager access, which you can revoke at any time.

#### How long do listings take to have an effect?

Google Business Profile changes can show within days. Directory and aggregator consistency takes longer to propagate — usually four to eight weeks before the picture settles.

#### Is the consulting separate from the marketing?

It can be. Some clients only take the consulting and visibility audit, act on it themselves, and come back later. That is a perfectly good outcome and we will not push a retainer on you.

## Find out where you are invisible.

The free audit includes a visibility check across every major listing and directory. You keep the findings.
