That's the short version. The longer one is the TekRV case, because it shows what changed.
Where TekRV stood
TekRV is a mobile RV repair business in Las Vegas. Steve is a good mobile RV tech with real reviews and real certifications. The phone didn't ring the way it should have.
Before we started in August, his site sat on page three of Google for the searches that should have been his.
What we found
He didn't have a marketing problem. He had a findability problem. His site said little about the places he serves or the work he specializes in, and old listings had Google associating him with repair shops in Texas.
That is the pattern we look for: a local service business with real reviews whose phone doesn't ring the way it should, sitting on page three for the searches that should be theirs, or with old listings that point customers, or search engines, the wrong way.
What we changed
We built a new site rooted in his market: a page for each service he does, the parks and neighborhoods he covers, his certifications, and his reviews up front.
We rebuilt his Google Business Profile. We added structured data, the labels behind a page that search engines and AI answers read. And we cleaned up the listings that were pointing the wrong way, the ones that confused him with someone else.
The work was the site, the profile, the structured data and the cleaned-up listings. No social media was involved.
What happened
Engagement from Google search has doubled since we started. When someone asks ChatGPT for a mobile RV tech in Las Vegas, TekRV is the top answer. It is also the top answer for RV AC repair, and for RV repair at Oasis RV Park, along with a long list of other service and location searches. He ranks at the top of local and organic Google results for many of them too.
Here is how Steve put it: "My old provider tried to nickel and dime me to death. Inertia got me to the top of the rankings and provides personal service. No comparison."
That is where he stands now. We can't promise a ranking or a place in an AI answer, and anyone who does is guessing.
Check your own
You can check the first part from a search box. Search for the work you do and the place you do it, the way a customer would, for example your trade and your city. See where you land.
Then read your own site as a stranger would. Does it name the places you work? Does it say what you specialize in? Is there a page for each service?
Then look at the listings that carry your business name. Do they say where you actually are and what you actually do?
If your site and your listings already say it all, this article won't tell you what's wrong.
When you don't need us
If the site, the profile and the listings already say what you do and where you are, start with what else is in the way.
If the site is the gap, ask whoever built it to add a page for each service and each place you cover.
If what you asked for won't fix what you've got, we say so before anything is built.
Where we come in is when you want the site, the profile, the structured data and the listings done together. Local search is what that looks like with us. It replaces a site that says little about what you do or where you do it, and listings that confuse you with someone else.
