If you're not in the top 3 on Google Maps, you do not exist.
Find out in 60 seconds, with real Google data not an agency opinion, whether your business can actually reach the top 3 of the map when someone near you searches for what you sell. And the exact monthly spend it would take. If your budget cannot cover it, we tell you to save your money and walk away.

The three businesses next to the little map. That is the whole game.
Someone in your town pulls out their phone and searches "plumber near me," or your service plus your city. Google shows a map with three businesses above everything else. Those three get the calls. Marketers call it the map pack, or local SEO. Your customers just call it Google.
Getting into those three slots is not the same job as ranking a blog post. It runs on your Google Business Profile, your review count against the businesses already sitting there, how close you are to the searcher, and whether your website and your listing read as the same business. That is the only thing this audit scores.
If customers do not find you by searching a service and a place, this audit has nothing to tell you. Do not run it.
Three honest numbers. 60 seconds.
- 1. Exactly how many reviews you are behind your real top 3 competitors.
- 2. The monthly spend floor required to clear the top 3 in your category and city.
- 3. Whether your stated budget is even in the game.
If the math does not work, we say so. We would rather you walk away with the truth than spend a year burning a half funded campaign. The same foundation that wins on Google Maps is what makes you retrievable when customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI for local recommendations. Two channels, one foundation.
What you get
- A binary verdict. Pursue, fix-then-pursue, commit-at-the-floor, or skip. No vague "do SEO and ads" non-answer.
- The real cost to top 3. Reviews to close the gap, months at a sustainable pace, monthly ad spend floor, and the total commitment.
- Your top 3 competitors. Pulled live from Google with their review counts and ratings. The same data we would use on a strategy call.
- A site readiness check. We scan your homepage for the 8 signals Google uses to decide whether your site and your Google Business Profile read as the same business. The first 3 are free on the report.
Recent local result
A window cleaning company in Utah Valley booked $28,440 in week one from a customer list that had been sitting idle for a year.
The audit said pursue. We built the system. The list did the rest.
You are a fit if:
- You serve customers in a specific city or drive radius: trades, home services, contracting, professional services, retail, restaurant, clinic, or local B2B
- Customers find you by searching a service plus a place, or "near me" on their phone
- You already have a Google Business Profile, the listing with your hours, photos, and reviews on Google Maps, even if it is a mess
- You depend on the Google Maps top 3 to fill the pipeline, and you are not in it
- You have tried an agency or a tool and got reports instead of calls
Stop. You are NOT a fit if:
- You sell online to the whole country. Ecommerce, national SaaS, and anyone without a service area cannot rank on a map. That is a different job, and it lives on the DTC page.
- You have no Google Business Profile yet. The audit reads the listing you already have. Email us and we will walk you through claiming it first, free.
- You want a "guaranteed top 3 in 30 days" promise. No honest agency offers this. The math does not work that way.
- Your monthly marketing budget is under $2,000 and you are not willing to wait until it grows.
- You expect rankings without changing anything on your site or your Google Business Profile. The work is on both ends.

The audit and the Strategic Review are free. If we work together after, pricing lands on your verdict, sized to what the math actually says you need. Not on this page.
60 seconds. Then you know whether to fight or walk.
The map shows three businesses. Fourth place means a customer has to tap "more places" to find you, and almost nobody does. AI assistants recommend a handful of local businesses, not all of them. There are only so many slots in either game. The audit tells you, with real numbers, whether you have a shot at one.
Show me my real numbers →P.S. If you scrolled this far, you have probably already searched your own category in your own city and seen who is sitting in those three slots instead of you. 60 seconds. Real numbers. We tell you whether to fight or walk. The cost of waiting another quarter is another quarter of those three getting your customers.
