The problem nobody reports

The prettiest lie in marketing is a monthly report.

A Virginia law firm came to us with a report saying they ranked #1. Our grid found that most of their service area never saw them at all. Nobody was lying to them. Nobody was looking, either.

Agencies report what went right. Nobody reports where you’re invisible, because finding it takes more than a spreadsheet and an intern.

The part they never told you

Rankings aren’t a number. They’re a map, and the map moves every day.

Your ranking is different two miles down the road. It is different for every keyword that makes your phone ring. And it changes when Google changes, which is constantly.

Checking it once a month is like checking a smoke detector once a month. We built a system that reads it every day. It watches your map rankings, your organic rankings, and your ad spend in one place.

The machine

Detect. Propose. One click. Fixed. Verified.

Every morning our platform pulls four live data feeds for your business: Google Ads, Search Console, Google Analytics, and your Business Profile. Around sixteen automated detectors hunt for ranking gaps, wasted ad spend, broken tracking, and algorithm-update damage.

When something’s wrong, the system drafts the fix. A human expert approves it with one click. The machine applies it and re-checks that it worked. Competitors eyeball a dashboard monthly. Ours reads itself daily and fixes problems the same day it finds them.

STEP 1

Detect

16 detectors read your four data feeds every morning.

STEP 2

Propose

The system drafts the exact fix, with the data that justifies it.

STEP 3

Approve

A human expert signs off. One click. Nothing moves without it.

STEP 4

Apply

The machine makes the change and logs it with a timestamp.

STEP 5

Re-verify

The same detector that found the problem confirms it’s gone.

Proof, in his own words

Wade started at zero. The data did not stay there.

Wolfgang Hauling & Demolition went from a brand-new junk-removal business to six figures with Hit Me running the machine. Here’s Wade telling it, and here are the numbers behind it.

The question nobody else is asking

When someone asks ChatGPT who to call, is the answer you?

Your next customer might never see a search results page. They will ask an AI who the best junk hauler, HVAC company, or attorney near them is, and the AI will name someone.

Google rankings and AI visibility are two different games. Industry research says only 24 percent of marketers can even measure the second game. We can, we do it daily, and we fix what we find.

Receipts, not promises

You’ll never wonder what we did this month. It’s timestamped.

Every change our platform makes is logged: what changed, when, and what the data did afterward. No vague “ongoing optimization” line items. If you’ve been burned by an agency you could never pin down, this is the opposite of that.

Why this exists

I quit SEO in 2024 because I thought AI was killing it. I was wrong about which half.

Sixteen years running Hit Me SEO, then I stepped away, convinced AI-generated junk was the end of the craft. Watching from the outside I saw the truth: AI wasn’t killing search, it was becoming its own kind of search, and somebody’s business gets named in every answer.

I came back in March to build the machine that makes sure it’s yours, with every decision made by data instead of hunches. Anyone can have AI write content. Knowing what to build, how to rank it, and what to change to compete in your market, that’s the whole game now.

Straight answers

The questions people in your shoes are already searching.

Pulled from the live “People Also Ask” boxes on our own money keywords, answered straight.

How do I check my ranking on Google Maps?
Searching for yourself only shows your ranking at your own location, and Google reshuffles the map results every few miles. Checking it properly takes a rank grid: the same search run from dozens of points across your service area. That grid is page one of our free report.
How much does local SEO cost?
Most agencies charge between $300 and $2,500 a month for local SEO, depending on market competition and how many locations you run. We work month to month with no long contracts, priced by the size of the gaps. The free report shows whether you even have enough opportunity to be worth it.
What are local SEO services?
Local SEO services improve how a business ranks in the map pack and “near me” searches: optimizing your Google Business Profile, keeping business data consistent everywhere, earning reviews, building location and service pages, and tracking rankings across your whole service area. The goal is calls from nearby customers, not traffic for its own sake.
What is Google Maps ranking?
Google Maps ranking is the order businesses appear in the map pack, decided by proximity to the searcher, relevance to what they typed, and prominence signals like review count and velocity. It changes block by block: a business can be #1 downtown and invisible ten minutes up the road.
What is SEO marketing?
SEO marketing is making your business the answer when people search for what you sell: on Google, on Maps, and now inside AI assistants. For a local service business it means showing up for the keywords that ring the phone, across your whole service area, and turning that visibility into booked jobs. More on our SEO service.
Is SEO dead now that AI answers questions?
No. It moved. People still search, but tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews now answer many questions directly, and they name specific businesses when someone asks who to call. The work today is making sure the business they name is yours. We measure that AI visibility and fix it. Ask any other agency if they can even check.
Is the “Where You’re NOT Ranking” report actually free?
Yes. No card, no contract, no obligation, and no sales call unless you reply and ask. The report is yours to keep, even if you hand it to your current agency and ask why they never showed you this.
