City Exclusive limits how many clients we take, not who appears in the index. Paying never changes a ranking.

We don’t promise a position; Google decides that. We promise work you can check, numbers every month, and quantifiable 90-day lead targets (30% lift for existing sites, industry baseline goals for new businesses).

The monthly numbers come from Freevine Signals, our in-house analytics dashboard; the 90-day guarantee is settled on verified numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What does the first year cost, website plus monthly service?

Two common combinations, in the open: Standard Site plus the Basic tier is $1,800 + 12 × $599 = $8,988 for the first year; Standard Site plus Standard is $14,988. From year two there is no website fee, only the monthly plan. The itemized quote lists every line.

How do I work out if it pays for itself?

Skip the industry averages — use your own three numbers. One qualified lead is worth your average job value × gross margin × close rate; divide the monthly fee by that, and you have your break-even leads per month.

One qualified lead is worth about $80. Break-even: Basic about 8 leads a month, Standard about 14, City Exclusive about 38.

The numbers shown are examples — swap in your own. Everything is calculated in your browser and never uploaded.

Why do you recommend different tiers for different industries?

Tier prices are the same for everyone — they are set by monthly workload. What changes is the recommendation: competitive industries need a wider set of target keywords and more content, so we point them to Standard or City Exclusive, and we show you the competition in your industry along with the reasoning after the check.

Does the monthly fee include website maintenance? What costs extra?

Yes. Site upkeep, on-page SEO, and technical health checks are included in all three tiers — it’s in the comparison table above. There are no hidden charges beyond this page: Business Profile setup and the AI-readability retrofit are priced one-time projects, marketing content is an add-on billed by volume, and third-party costs like domains are listed line by line in the quote.

Can I get just the website, without a monthly plan?

Yes. The website is a one-time project, accepted on delivery, and you can add a monthly plan whenever you like. Note that the 90-Day Operations Guarantee applies only to standard and city exclusive tiers, on a website we built.

What happens after I reach out?

Three steps: leave your contact details and website address; we look at your site and your industry’s competition and reply within one business day with a recommended tier and an itemized quote; work starts only after you approve it. No contract, no charge.

Talk it through before you decide.

Leave a phone number, text, or WeChat. We look at your site and your industry’s competition first and reply within one business day.

If you want to go further, we recommend a tier based on your industry’s competition and send an itemized quote. Nothing starts until you approve it.
