The Michigan Problem

“Do people even know we’re here?” If Maps, your website, and your social presence don’t work together, demand feels random—and your calendar does too. Momentum fixes the system so local intent turns into booked business.

Evidence‑Based Plan (What We Evaluate & Apply)

1. Audit (Maps • Website • Social)

We run a 25‑point audit: GBP categories/services/photos/posts, review velocity, money‑page speed & clarity, tracking, and social responsiveness.

  • Identify fast‑fix friction (mobile load, form errors)
  • Pinpoint keywords & neighborhoods that already convert
  • Draft 3 creative angles for local ads

2. Apply the Plan

We fix blockers, then deploy an integrated campaign:

  • GBP: categories, services, photos, Posts, Products, Q&A
  • Website: money page + service‑area proof + simple contact
  • Social: weekly local proof; comments & DMs monitored

3. Measure & Improve (2‑week sprints)

Every two weeks we refresh creative, rebalance budget, and review KPIs with you.

North‑star metrics: calls, direction requests, booking rate, and cost‑per‑lead.
