Everything in Essentials plus backlink building, quarterly competitor analysis, human-edited content, and multi-location coverage up to 4 sites. The tier most accounts wish they had started with. $649/mo.
Essentials gets you visible. Plus gets you ranking against real competition. The line between them is whether your market has actual SEO operators on the other side. If it does, the cheaper tier hits its ceiling fast.
What changes at Plus: we add the work that takes a person, not just an algorithm. Backlinks earned through real outreach. Blog posts edited by a writer who reads them out loud. Competitor audits that find the gap and ship into it. Multi-location coordination so a dental group with three offices is not fighting itself in the search results.
Sanity check before you upgrade. Plus is worth the bump if you have done at least 3 to 6 months on Essentials and need more torque, OR if your market is competitive enough that starting at Essentials would waste your first quarter.
Plus contains everything in Essentials — the citations, the GBP work, the on-page tune, the location pages. Then four more things on top:
Backlinks are still the #1 ranking factor outside on-page. We earn them four ways: HARO/Qwoted pitches positioning you as a local expert source, guest posts published on industry blogs, niche directory submissions (chamber, BBB+, trade associations, geo-relevant lists), and partnership outreach to non-competing local businesses for mutual links. Slow, durable, white-hat. No PBNs, no fiverr packs, no comment spam.
Every 90 days we audit your top three competitors: their backlink profiles, their content velocity, their on-page changes, the keywords they are ranking for that you are not. We pick the three best gaps and ship into them next quarter. Most accounts find their biggest unlocks here.
Twice the volume of Essentials AND the AI drafts get a human writer pass. The reads-like-spam smoothness comes out. The local color goes in. Internal links get verified, schema gets validated, calls to action get tightened. Same long-tail strategy, better execution.
Separate GBP optimization per location. Distinct citation sets so locations are not stealing each other's authority. Per-location landing pages with unique content (no duplicate-content penalty). Location-specific schema. Reporting that breaks down performance by location so you can see which is winning and why.
Monthly reports cover the same metrics as Essentials (rankings, traffic, conversions, calls) plus backlink acquisition count and competitor delta. Plus also gets a 30-minute quarterly strategy call — we go over the competitor audit, agree on the next quarter's priorities, and answer whatever has been piling up.
Pick Plus when your market has at least one credible SEO competitor already at the top. Pick it when you have 2 to 4 locations and need each one optimized properly. Pick it when Essentials has been running for 90 days and you can see the work but the rankings have plateaued because the gap is now backlinks.
Skip Plus if you are a brand-new single-location business in a small market. Start at Essentials and upgrade if it tops out.
$649/mo, billed monthly. No setup fee. 30 days written notice to cancel. All fees non-refundable from purchase (MSA §6).
If you want strategy calls every month, custom long-form content, manual link outreach, and full technical SEO audits, jump to SEO Pro ($895/mo).
Three things. First, backlink building: we pitch your business to local press, niche directories, and industry sites monthly. Second, competitor analysis: every quarter we audit your top three competitors and copy what is working. Third, human editor review on the 8 monthly blogs so they actually read like a person wrote them.
Up to 4 locations. Each gets its own GBP optimization, citation set, and location page program. Above 4 locations the math tips toward Pro because the operational overhead scales non-linearly.
No. We pitch your business as a source for local journalists (HARO, Qwoted, direct outreach), publish guest posts on industry blogs, get you listed in legitimate niche directories, and pursue partnerships with non-competing local businesses for mutual links. No PBNs, no link farms, no Fiverr garbage. Slow, durable, real.
Reports monthly, plus one 30-minute strategy call per quarter on Plus. If you want monthly strategy calls + custom long-form content + manual outreach, that is Pro ($895/mo).
The backlink work compounds. Most accounts see meaningful difference vs Essentials by month 4 to 6. By month 9, the gap is obvious in rankings and traffic.
30 days written notice. All fees non-refundable (MSA §6). Same terms as Essentials. Bundled inside a Marketing Plan, follows the Plan’s 12-month commitment.
