More Visibility = More Calls.

People searching Google Maps aren't browsing. They have a problem and they're hiring someone today. If you're not in the top results, that phone rings for the shop next door.

Also Show Up When People Ask AI.

More customers ask ChatGPT or Google AI things like"who's a good plumber near me?" Those answers come from the same place: your Google listing, reviews, and consistent business info. Keep that strong, and AI is more likely to name you — not just your trade.


You Run the Business. I Run the Listing.

Getting found on Google Maps isn't a one-time setup. It's Google Business Profile work, reviews coming in, photos staying fresh, and your citations (name, address, phone) matching everywhere. I take that off your plate so more of the right calls come in.

Your Google Business Profile, Fully Set Up

Categories, services, hours, service areas, Q&A — I fill out your Google Business Profile properly so Google knows exactly what you do and where you work. Most listings I see are half-done. Yours won't be.

Reviews — Requests & Replies

I help you get a steady stream of new Google reviews and reply to them for you. Reviews that mention the job — drain cleaning, panel upgrade, furnace repair — help Google and customers see what you're known for. More recent reviews = more trust = more calls.

Listing Kept Current with Photos

Stale listings fall behind. I keep your Google profile active — fresh photos of real jobs, updates when hours or services change, and regular posts so Google sees you're open for business, not a forgotten page.

Local Citations — Kept in Sync

Your name, address, and phone need to match on Google, directories, and other sites (that's what local citations are). When they don't, Google gets confused and you lose ranking. I clean that up once, then keep everything synced so you don't have to chase listings yourself.

One Person. Clear Results. No Runaround.

You talk to me — Jerry — not a call centre. Every two weeks we look at what's working: more views, more calls, more reviews. Plain English. No jargon.

I Know How This Stuff Works

20+ years building websites and tech systems. I don't hand your listing to a junior or a template agency. When something's wrong with how Google sees your business, I dig in and fix it.

  • Hands-on with your listing — not outsourced overseas
  • Decisions based on what's moving the needle for calls
  • You always know what I'm doing and why

You Talk to Me Directly

No account manager you'll never meet. Questions about ranking, reviews, or a Google change? You call or email me. Same-day replies — not a ticket queue.

  • Direct phone and email access
  • Same-day responses
  • Real conversations, not scripts

Bi-Weekly Check-Ins That Make Sense

Every two weeks we review the numbers that matter: map position, how many people saw you, clicks, calls, and new reviews. A clear report you can actually understand — not a vanity dashboard.

  • Scheduled strategy meetings
  • Reports in plain language
  • We adjust based on what's working

More Calls Only Help If You Answer Them

Ranking higher means more people calling you — but only if someone picks up.If you're on a job and the phone goes to voicemail, that customer calls the next name on the list.

That's why Google Maps pairs with a website people trust, a 24/7 AI receptionist, and automated review requests. Get found, get every call answered, book more jobs. One system — not a pile of half-finished tools.

Ranking Up → Calls Up

Climb the map, get more phone rings. Without a way to answer them all, you lose the leads you just paid to attract.

Close the Loop

Rank higher → more calls → AI answers → more jobs booked → more reviews → rank even higher. That's how the phone keeps ringing.

Straight Answers

What is Google Business Profile optimization?

Google Business Profile optimization is setting up and maintaining your Google Maps listing so customers find you and call — the right categories and services, fresh photos, accurate hours, review requests and replies, and matching name, address, and phone across directories. For trades in Greater Montreal, that's what pushes you toward the top 3 on the map.

What do you actually do for my Google Maps listing?

I set up and manage your Google Business Profile so customers find you and call. That means getting more reviews (and helping customers mention the work you did), posting fresh photos, keeping your hours and services current, and making sure your name, address, and phone number match everywhere online. You focus on the jobs — I handle the listing.

How long does local SEO take to get more calls?

Most trades businesses see movement within 30 to 90 days. Cleaning up the Google Business Profile and syncing your info can help sooner. Reviews and steady activity build over time. We meet every two weeks so you can see what's changing — calls, views, and reviews — in plain language.

Do Google reviews help you rank on Maps?

Yes. Fresh reviews help you rank higher on Google Maps, and they're what people read before they dial. Reviews that mention the job you did — like panel upgrade, drain cleaning, or furnace repair — also help Google understand what you're known for. I handle the review requests and replies so you don't have to chase them yourself.

Why Google Maps instead of just a website?

When someone needs a plumber or electrician today, they search on Google and usually call one of thetop 3 businesses on the map. That's where hiring happens for trades. A website helps once they click — but if you're not on that map, they never see you.

What if I get more calls but miss them on the job?

That's common. Ranking higher means more people calling — and if you're on a job, those calls go to the next name on the list. Pair Google Maps with a 24/7 AI receptionist so every call gets answered and booked, not missed.

Do you work with trades in Greater Montreal?

Yes — that's who I focus on. Plumbers, HVAC, electricians, and other trades across Montreal, Laval, Brossard, Longueuil, Terrebonne, Vaudreuil-Dorion, the West Island, and nearby areas.

Why am I not showing up on Google Maps?

Usually one of three things: an incomplete Google listing, your business info doesn't match across directories, or you have fewer reviews than competitors nearby. I audit that, fix it, and keep it maintained — most businesses see movement within 30 to 90 days.

How much does local SEO cost for a plumbing business?

For plumbers, HVAC, and electricians in Greater Montreal, the full system — local SEO, website, and AI receptionist — is $1,499 CAD/month. Month-to-month — no long lock-in. Most see Google Maps movement within 30 to 90 days. Need just one piece? Custom quote →

Will ChatGPT or Google AI recommend my plumbing business?

Often yes — if your Google Business Profile, reviews, and business info are complete and consistent. When someone asks ChatGPT or Google AI for a plumber or electrician near them, it pulls from the same kind of local data we clean up for Google Maps. Keep that strong, and you're more likely to get named.

How do I hire a local SEO expert for Google Maps ranking?

You look for someone who talks about calls and customers, not just rankings. A lot of "SEO experts" will hand you a report full of technical terms and a promise about where you'll rank in six months — and then the results just don't show up. What you actually want is someone who can explain, in plain language, what they're doing and why, and who measures it the same way you do: is the phone ringing more. That's the whole job.

What does local SEO for trades actually include?

For a trade business, it comes down to three things: making sure Google Maps shows your business first when someone nearby searches, making sure your website backs that up when they click through, and making sure your reviews and business info are consistent everywhere. No filler, no jargon-heavy monthly reports — just the stuff that actually moves you from page 2 to the map pack where people can find you and call.

What SEO solutions do you offer for trades businesses?

Going into 2026, it's local SEO, a website built to convert visits into calls, and an AI voice agent that picks up when you can't — so leads don't go to the next business on the list just because nobody answered. All three work together: getting found, giving people a reason to call, and making sure that call doesn't go to voicemail.
