Every day you're not ranking in Google Maps top 3 is another day of lost customers and wasted money. Here's what being invisible on Google Maps is really costing you:

📉 Lost Revenue:

Competitors in Google Maps top 3 get 70% of all clicks. You're getting scraps while they're getting 10-15 qualified calls per week—every single week.

💸 Wasted Ad Spend:

You're paying $500-2,000/month on Google Ads or Local Search Ads (pay per lead) because your free Google Maps listing isn't optimized. Those ads stop working the second you stop paying.

💰 The Math That Hurts:

If your average customer is worth $500 and competitors get just 10 extra calls per month from Google Maps = $60,000/year in lost revenue going to businesses that show up while you don't.

Hi, I'm Michael—And I Fix What Google Ads Companies Won't Tell You

With over 10 years in the construction industry and formal digital marketing training from Dublin Business School (2013), I've been on both sides: as a contractor getting ripped off by "marketing experts" who spoke confusing jargon, and as the marketer who learned what actually moves the needle.

The truth nobody talks about: Google Maps SEO generates 5x more calls than paid ads for local businesses—and it's permanent, not pay-per-click or pay-per-lead.

I built LeadsGen24 because Northern Illinois contractors and local businesses deserve marketing that actually works, explained in plain English, at prices that make sense. We're a marketing agency and SEO agency specializing in one thing: getting local businesses ranking on Google Maps where customers actually search.

Unlike generalist marketing agencies that spread thin across every channel, we focus on what drives phone calls: Google Maps rankings through proven search engine optimization strategies. When you need comprehensive marketing strategy, we use the SOSTAC framework (Situation, Objectives, Strategy, Tactics, Action, Control)—the systematic approach I learned in my digital marketing degree.

No confusing technical jargon. No long-term contracts. Just results.

Real Results: Northern Illinois Plumber Dominates Entire City

From ranking in 4-5 neighborhoods to #1 across entire 75,000-person city in 6 weeks

The Challenge

Mike's Plumbing was paying for Local Search Ads (Google's pay-per-lead program) because their Google Business Profile wasn't properly optimized. Critical issues were holding them back:

  • Google Business Profile title tags missing key information
  • Profile information didn't match website (Google algorithm confusion)
  • Category optimization incomplete
  • Only ranking in 4-5 limited areas of the city
  • Paying per lead instead of ranking organically

The Transformation (6 Weeks)

BEFORE:

Before: Limited Google Maps coverage with red and yellow dots

Red dots = Not ranking (invisible)
Yellow dots = Positions 4-10 (minimal clicks)
Green dots = Top 3 (70% of clicks)
Coverage: Only 4-5 neighborhoods

AFTER:

After: Complete city coverage with green dots

GREEN DOTS ACROSS ENTIRE CITY GRID

Business Growth

Call volume increased so dramatically, Mike's Plumbing hired an additional technician to handle demand

"I was paying Google every time someone called me through Local Search Ads. Michael showed me I could rank organically instead. Six weeks later, I'm #1 across the entire city, eliminated my ad spend completely, and I'm so busy I just hired another guy. My phone rings constantly now, without having to pay for a lead. Best investment I've made in my business."

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get my business to show up on Google Maps?

Your business needs a verified Google Business Profile that's properly optimized. Most businesses have a profile but haven't optimized it correctly—missing critical elements like proper categories, complete information, regular posts, and photo optimization. We handle complete setup and ongoing optimization to get you ranking in top 3 where 70% of customers click.

How long does it take to rank on Google Maps?

Most businesses see initial improvements in 30-45 days and significant results in 60-90 days. Achieving consistent top 3 rankings typically takes 2-3 months depending on competition level. Unlike paid ads that stop working when you stop paying, Google Maps SEO builds permanent rankings that generate calls 24/7.

Why doesn't my business appear on Google Maps?

Common reasons: unverified Google Business Profile, incomplete information, wrong category selection, missing photos, no reviews, or technical issues preventing Google from displaying your business. We identify exactly what's wrong in our free audit and fix everything systematically.

What is Google Maps SEO?

Google Maps SEO is the process of optimizing your Google Business Profile and local citations to rank in the top 3 positions on Google Maps. It combines profile optimization, review management, citation building, and ongoing updates to achieve and maintain top rankings where customers actually click.

How much does Google Maps optimization cost?

Our monthly Google Maps management is $247/month (or $197/month with YouTube code SEEN). This includes complete optimization, weekly updates, review management, and monthly reports. Most clients eliminate $500-2,000/month in ad spend within 60-90 days, making the service pay for itself.

What is SEO and why do I need it?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) gets your business ranking on Google without paying for ads. While paid advertising stops working the moment you stop paying, SEO generates permanent organic traffic. For local businesses, Google Maps SEO is the #1 priority—it's where customers actually search when they need your services.

How much does SEO cost for small businesses?

Our Google Maps SEO service starts at $247/month ($197 with code SEEN). Full website SEO typically ranges from $500-1,500/month depending on competition and goals. Unlike advertising where you pay per click or per lead forever, SEO is an investment that builds permanent rankings generating free traffic long-term.

How long does SEO take to work?

Google Maps SEO shows results in 60-90 days. Website SEO typically takes 3-6 months for significant first-page rankings. The difference: SEO results compound over time and become permanent, while ads disappear the second you stop paying. Most clients see ROI within 90 days through eliminated ad spend.

What's the difference between SEO and Google Ads?

Google Ads = Pay per click forever. Stop paying, calls stop immediately. Google Maps SEO = Pay once for optimization, rank organically forever. Calls never stop. Example: $1,500/month in Google Ads = $18,000/year in ongoing costs. $247/month Google Maps SEO = $2,964/year, generates unlimited free calls permanently.

Can I do SEO myself?

You can, but most DIY attempts fail to achieve top 3 rankings. Google's algorithm is complex with 200+ ranking factors. What seems "optimized" to business owners often misses critical technical elements. Professional optimization gets results in 60-90 days vs. 6-12+ months of trial and error (if ever).

How much does a marketing agency cost?

Marketing agency costs vary widely ($500-5,000+/month). We're different—we're a specialized marketing and SEO agency focused on one thing: Google Maps rankings. Our focused approach costs less ($247/month or $197 with code SEEN) and delivers better ROI than generalist agencies spreading budgets across multiple channels.

What does a marketing agency do differently than doing it myself?

We bring 10 years of construction industry experience plus formal digital marketing training. We know what contractors need (more calls, not jargon), we use proven frameworks (SOSTAC for strategy), and we speak your language. Plus we stay on top of Google's constant algorithm changes—you don't have time for that.
