What’s included in the full scope?

Foundation: website review

We check whether search engines can find your pages, how quickly they load, how clearly they describe your services, and how your pages link to one another. You receive the affected page links and a prioritized list of recommended fixes.

Foundation: local search review

We assess your Google Business Profile, location pages, and reviews, then identify directory gaps and relevant local competitors.

Monthly: business listings

We submit your business to agreed local and industry directories, correct business details, and keep a record of listing status.

Monthly: articles

Core includes 4 articles per month; Boost includes 8. We research topics, write and edit, add visuals and relevant links, then publish after your approval and check that search engines can access the pages.

Monthly: progress report

See website visits, inquiries, local search performance, selected competitor rankings, the work completed, and next-month priorities. Agreed AI checks sample mentions of your business, including in ChatGPT; these are measured separately from identifiable visits from AI tools.

Optional: track booked customers

Where your booking or customer-management system supports it, we can connect records to help show which pages led to booked business. We confirm feasibility and scope before adding this.

The people behind the work

Work with The Ops Guide.

We help service businesses plan and manage their SEO. Start with a technical and local assessment, then agree on the listings, content, and fixes we’ll handle. Each month, see what was completed and what comes next.

Based in Tennessee. Available to service businesses across the U.S.

A few details before you start.

Do you fix the issues you find?

We agree which fixes we handle and which need your website team before work starts. Your proposal defines locations, listing coverage, tracking, and implementation. Larger development work is scoped separately.

Do we approve articles before publishing?

Yes. You approve the articles before we schedule them. We check published pages are live and indexable.

Can you guarantee rankings or AI citations?

No. Search platforms control rankings and citations. AI reporting checks agreed questions and platforms; it does not track every answer or private conversation.
