Compare prices and termsIs Complete Local Growth discounted?
No. Visibility Management is $399/month, Google Review Growth is $59/month, and Listings Management is $39/month. Together they total $497/month, plus one $149 onboarding fee.
Can I buy Organic & AI Visibility on its own?
No. The $599/month service is attached to GBP management. Standard scope is one business, one website, one primary market, and up to seven priority pages, with $299 onboarding and a three-month initial term. Complete Search Growth combines it with Complete Local Growth at $997/month plus $299 onboarding.
Is the included companion a custom managed website?
The optional Living Website Companion is a standardized extension of Visibility Management, with build and hosting included while the qualifying subscription is active. Supported posts, approved FAQs, reviews, photos, and hours update automatically. Custom design, migrations, extensive manual content, and complex integrations are separate. Fit, approved content, domain arrangements, permission, ownership, export availability, and exit terms are confirmed before launch.
What are the managed website payment and ownership terms?
Starter Managed is $129 onboarding plus $129/month; Growth Managed is $249 onboarding plus $249/month. Each is structured around 12 monthly payments, with onboarding and month one funded before work begins and each later month funded in advance. The site stays on Allen’s infrastructure during the term. Files and transferable assets are released after the term, with an optional $299 post-term transfer including one standard technical handoff. An early buyout is a voluntary, case-by-case quote for early file release, not a termination fee or debt. Growth Ownership is $1,999 one time, with ownership from launch and no transfer fee.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
I work with local businesses, multi-location groups, professional practices, and agencies that need stronger Google Business Profile, organic and AI visibility, website, review, or reputation operations.
Do you guarantee rankings, review volume, or revenue?
No. I build compliant systems and make evidence-led recommendations, but rankings and commercial outcomes depend on many factors outside any consultant’s control.
How do you document performance claims?
Where available, I use dated source reporting, defined measurement periods, comparable settings, calculation notes, and a clear description of my contribution. Incomplete evidence is labeled rather than overstated.
Can you work through an agency?
Yes. I can support an agency directly while keeping the agency and end-client relationship clear, as shown in the multi-location automotive case study.
Do you work with a specific reputation software platform?
No single platform defines the consulting approach. I work with the reporting and operational environment available to the client and focus on the system, governance, and measurement requirements.
Can you help with implementation as well as strategy?
Yes. Depending on scope, I can audit, design, implement, document, or manage the operating system. Every engagement starts with diagnosis so the implementation matches the actual problem.
How should prospective Upwork clients contact you?
Please view my Upwork profile and continue the conversation there. Communication, contracting, and payment for prospective Upwork engagements remain on Upwork.
