SEO in Carmel that builds the pages and the profile behind local search.

Scope does. A single-location electrician who wants more repair calls is looking at about $1,300 a month, while a multi-service company with a thin site and few reviews is nearer $3,000. More services and more cities push the number up; the ceiling is set by what a booked job is worth to you.

The technical work usually shows inside 30 days. Local and long-tail results tend to take 60 to 90 days, and revenue builds from month four. Calls and leads get counted from the first report, so you are not waiting on a ranking chart to know whether the phone rang.

The retainer starts with a six-month term, because local search work needs that long to show, then runs month to month. Either side can end it with 30 days' notice after the first term.

A map spot is Google's call, not ours. The work we control is the profile, a page per service, consistent listings, review requests and links. If those improve and Google moves you up, the report shows the extra calls. If it does not, you still own the pages that earn them.

AI readiness comes with the retainer, not as an extra. Pages get short answer blocks, structured data and one version of your business facts, so a tool summarizing Carmel contractors has clean material to work from. An AI mention is not something anyone can promise, and the report counts calls instead.
