A plan that compounds

Most businesses dabble. You need a plan.

Most people never scroll past the first page of search results. Posting a few graphics and hoping for the best does not change that. A plan that builds every month does. We refresh what you have and run a 100% white-hat SEO strategy that compounds over time.

On-site SEO

Page titles, meta descriptions, headings, content, images and internal links, tuned so search engines understand exactly what you offer and customers trust what they see.

Backlinks, directories, reviews, social signals and PR that tell Google your business is legit and push you higher where customers are looking.

Local listings & Google Business Profile

Google Business Profile, Yelp, Bing, Apple Maps and key industry directories kept accurate and consistent, so you show up in map results.

Content & AI search

Area pages, blog posts and pillar pages that answer real customer questions, structured so Google and AI answer engines can quote and cite you.

The website behind the plan

A clear site is the foundation of the work.

Every plan runs on a website we can actually improve. If you need a new site, The Single is a full 3-page website with no upfront fee, $149/mo, and code RISEUP is 15% off. The Album is $224/mo plus a $499 setup, with 7 pages. Custom sites are quoted on a free call.

FAQ

Opening Act questions, answered.

What is Opening Act?

Opening Act is our Local Foundation 12-month marketing plan (under $1m revenue). It includes the monthly work listed above. Pricing depends on your market and goals, and we scope it with you on a free call.

How is this different from the other two plans?

Opening Act (Local Foundation) is for businesses under $1M, Headliner (Regional Growth) for $1M to $5M, and Encore (Market Leader) for $5M to $10M. The monthly page, listing, content and SEO hours step up with each plan. See all three on online marketing.

Do you list prices on this page?

No. Pricing depends on your market and goals, and we scope it with you on a free call. That is the same approach as our online marketing plans page.

How long does SEO take?

Some fixes, like site speed or better meta tags, can help within weeks. Real traction usually takes 3 to 6 months, and strong rankings 6 to 12 months, because Google needs time to crawl, index and trust your site. Anyone promising first page overnight is guessing or gaming the system.

Do I need a new website first?

Not always. If your current site can support the work, we start there. If you need a new site, The Single is $149/mo with no upfront fee, or The Album is $224/mo plus a $499 setup.

Is this white-hat SEO?

Yes. We run a 100% white-hat strategy. We do not use tricks that get sites penalized.
