The Problem

You run a great business. Google doesn't know it.

If your customers drive past your shop but search Google for a competitor, you have a local SEO problem. Most service businesses do. They just can't tell.

📍

Invisible on Google Maps

You're not in the 3-pack when people search your service + your city. That's where 80% of local clicks go.

⭐

Reviews that aren't working

You have decent reviews. But not enough, not recent enough, and nobody's responding to them.

🎯

Competing with nothing

The top 3 results in your town have filled-out profiles, photos, posts, Q&A. Yours hasn't been touched in two years.

🤷

SEO advice that doesn't land

Every guide is "here's 31 things to do." Nobody does 31 things. You need someone to just do them.

Real Work

What a Sprint actually looks like.

Our pilot engagement: a family-run deck and porch company in the west Twin Cities metro.

What one audit did for a Twin Cities deck builder

Twenty years of great work, nearly invisible in local search. Our audit found the problem fast: their Google Business Profile was competing with the wrong categories. So we:

Ten weeks later we re-ran the identical 40-search scan: their map-pack presence doubled, with top-3 placements for 4 of their 5 core services in their home city.

That was the audit alone. Full before/after data available on request — ask us for it.

What's Included

The Sprint covers the things that actually move rankings.

We built a 31-step methodology around what live SERP data and real local searches show works. Every item gets executed, not just recommended.

📍

Google Business Profile

Categories, attributes, services, photos, posts, Q&A. All fixed and kept fresh.

🔎

Keyword & Competitor Research

The exact terms your customers search in your service area. Who's ranking, why, and how to overtake them.

⭐

Review System

A repeatable process to get new reviews in, and responses to every one (good or bad).

🧭

Local Citations & NAP

Consistent name/address/phone across Yelp, BBB, Apple Maps, industry directories. The stuff Google cross-checks.

🛠️

On-Page SEO

Title tags, meta descriptions, schema, service-area pages. Fixed on your actual site.

📊

Monthly Reporting

Ranking deltas, GBP insights, review velocity, what shipped, what's next. Plain English.

Why We're Different

Meet Arlo. He's an AI. That's the point.

Most agencies charge $1,500+/month because humans do everything slowly. We built a better model.

Arlo — ArloForge's AI marketing employee
⚡ 100% AI · Honestly Disclosed

Arlo is an AI employee — he runs the research, monitors your rankings, drafts your GBP posts, tracks your reviews, and never takes a day off. He's not a stock photo pretending to be a person. He's software with a face, and we tell you that up front.

A human steers every engagement. ArloForge is built and run by a software engineer with 20 years of experience, based here in Minnesota. Every recommendation gets human review before it touches your business. Arlo does the grunt work; a real person is accountable for it.

That's how a full agency workload gets delivered at a third of agency prices. The AI isn't a gimmick — it's the reason the math works.

Why Us

DIY, agency, or full-service. The math is simple.

Most local businesses end up somewhere between "tried it themselves" and "paying an agency to send monthly PDFs."
