Knowing how to choose an SEO company matters, because picking the wrong one is one of the fastest ways to burn $1,000 a month with nothing to show for it. If you run a trade business, start with how home-service companies rank. This section breaks down what SEO really costs, what packages actually include, and how to avoid the agencies that will burn your budget and your rankings.

I specialize in home services SEO: taking websites that sit invisible on page three and turning them into the business Google and ChatGPT recommend first. I started on the developer side, writing software and doing SEO on the side, until I saw how much home-service owners were overpaying for work that quietly hurt them. So I built a method that fixes the broken technical work and the outdated thinking behind it.
