What a call from Google costs you

Pay Google for each click, or own the spot people click

When a garage door sticks halfway or a pipe lets go under the sink, people around Montrose don't wait on a referral. They search, and they call whoever Google shows near the top. Somebody gets those calls every day. There are two ways for that somebody to be you.

Rent it · Google Ads

You pay each time someone taps

about $19 a click
about $10 a click

Google charges for every tap on your ad, whether that person calls you or not. Turn the ads off and that spot passes to the next business that pays.

Own it · a page that ranks

A page of yours that keeps showing up

There next month, and the next

A page on your own website that Google ranks for those same searches gets the same kind of click, and Google charges nothing for the tap. Once it's up there, it keeps sending people your way, and it lives on the website you already own.

Where your monthly fee goes

Our monthly fee covers the work itself, on your website and your Google Maps listing. It stays the same however many people click through. The pages we build sit on your site and the listing is in your name, so all of it stays yours.

Two searches, four Montroses

Google knows more than one Montrose. Make sure it knows yours.

Type “plumber montrose” without the “co” and page one brings up a plumber in Houston's Montrose neighborhood and a Better Business Bureau list of plumbers near Montrose, South Dakota. Try “dentist montrose” and a dental office in Montrose, Michigan shows up. Google doesn't assume which Montrose a person means. It goes by clues.

  • Montrose, Houston
  • Montrose, SD
  • Montrose, MI
  • Montrose, CO

The clues that settle it

  1. “Montrose, Colorado” on every page
  2. Montrose County
  3. Serving Olathe and Delta
  4. A filled-in Google Maps listing

In town, the phone settles most of it

Someone standing on Main Street who searches for a plumber is mostly shown plumbers in Montrose, Colorado, because their phone tells Google where they are.

Everyone else gets what your site says

The family planning a move here, the second-home owner checking in from out of state, the son two states away hiring for his mom's furnace, the phone that isn't sharing where it is. For them, and for Google reading your website, it comes down to what your site and your Google Maps listing say: Montrose, Colorado, what you do, and the nearby towns you take work in.

When those clues are thin, a Houston plumber makes page one for a Montrose search. A Montrose business whose site never plainly says what it does, or where, is just as easy for Google to skip.

Montrose SEO · what the work is

Three jobs we'd take on, in words you'd use

Every one of those clues lives somewhere you already own: your website or your Google Maps listing. Getting them right, and keeping them right, is the work, and it splits into three jobs.

  1. Clear out what hides your site from Google

    Before we add anything new, we fix what's already in the way on the site you have. Google can only trust what it can load, find and read.

    The clue it puts in place

    “Montrose, Colorado” on every page

    • Slow pages that keep a phone waiting
    • Pages Google can't find at all
    • Pages that don't mention what you do, or that you're in Montrose, Colorado
  2. A page per service that spells out Montrose, Olathe or Delta

    Separate pages for the jobs you do and the towns you'll actually drive out to, each naming its town plainly. Someone in Olathe with a stuck garage door lands on a page about garage door repair that names Olathe, not on a home page that mentions neither.

    The clue it puts in place

    Serving Olathe and Delta

    • Montrose
    • Olathe
    • Delta
    • Ridgway
    • Ouray

    Only the towns you really serve get a page.

  3. Your spot on Google Maps, filled in and kept current

    The listing that puts your business on the map (Google calls it a Google Business Profile) is often what people tap right before they call. We complete every section of it and update it whenever something about your business changes.

    The clue it puts in place

    A filled-in Google Maps listing

    • Your hours
    • Your services
    • Photos
    • The area you cover

You don't need a new website for any of this. All three jobs happen on the site you already have, and if something on it is holding you back, we'll tell you plainly.

More on how we handle SEO

Montrose's page one, as it stands

In Montrose, the same few names fill page one

We pulled page one for 12 everyday Montrose searches, from plumber and dentist to towing and storage units, and looked at who turns up where. The same businesses kept appearing twice: once in the Google Maps box, then again just under it with their own website.

17 of the 32

businesses in the Google Maps box also had their own website in the results under it.

Where the 32 comes from: the Maps box shows up to three businesses a search. Across those 12, one search had no Maps box and one showed two, so 32 in all.

Up close: one search

Real results, names left off. This is the actual page one from Ahrefs' record; we took the business names out on purpose.

garage door repair montrose co

Google Maps box

  • Business A
  • Business B

The 9 results under it

  1. Business B · home page
  2. Business A · home page
  3. A review site's list
  4. Business A · repair page
  5. Another garage door company
  6. Business B · repair page
  7. A Facebook page
  8. A directory list
  9. Another directory list
The two businesses in the map hold 4 of the 9 results below it: a home page and a service page each.

The businesses that did the work show up twice: in the map, then again right below it. The rest get one spot or none.

That cuts both ways for you. Where few businesses have done the work, there's room near the top and it can come fairly quickly. Where page one is already full of ones that have, it takes longer.

Rated easy

Towing, pest control, a handyman: often weeks

Ahrefs, the tool we use to size up a search, rates these Montrose searches easy, and storage units too. Not much stands between a clear page and the first few names, so you can often see it move within weeks.

Rated moderate

Plumbing, heating and cooling, auto repair

Somewhere between the two. Your plan says which side each of your searches falls on.

Rated hardest

Dentists and chiropractors: months

The practices' own websites already fill page one for these. A new page has to earn its way past sites that are settled in, so count on months, not weeks.

Keeping an eye on us

  • Your plan, in writing

    Every search we'll go after is listed by name, with weeks or months written next to each.

  • A search on your phone

    Type those same searches into Google any time and see where your business sits.

  • Your listing's own counts

    Google tallies how many people called or asked for directions from your listing, and shows you those counts as the owner.

Nobody can promise where your name lands on Google, so we won't. You'll see where you stand with your own eyes.

SEO company · Montrose, Colorado · the price

Price first: what a Montrose plan runs

What does it cost? Most owners want that answered before anything else, so here it is, before any call.

$1,500 to $5,000

per month, set by the work

The range is wide because no two plans cover the same amount of work.

What pushes it toward $1,500 or toward $5,000

Four things decide where in that range your plan lands.

  • Services you want to be found for

    Toward $1,500: One service

    Toward $5,000: Several, each with a page of its own

  • Which towns, and how many

    Toward $1,500: Montrose alone

    Toward $5,000: Montrose plus Olathe and Delta

  • How busy those searches are

    Toward $1,500: Towing, where few have done the work

    Toward $5,000: Dentists, where page one is already full

  • How much fixing your site needs first

    Toward $1,500: A site that's already quick and clear

    Toward $5,000: Slow or missing pages to fix before anything else

The doubts, answered plainly

Things a Montrose owner wants answered first

Each one gets a plain answer up top and the reasoning right under it, so you can skim for the one that's been nagging you.

Got a question we didn't cover? Raise it on the 30-minute call.

  • Everybody in Montrose already knows me. Why would I need Google?

    Because the word of mouth around here shows up on Google too.

    Search “plumber montrose”, “auto repair montrose co” or “handyman montrose co” and threads from a Montrose Facebook group come up on page one: a neighbor asking who to call, and replies naming whoever came to mind that day. Google hands that same thread to everyone who searches after them. Keep the referrals coming. A page of your own is for the person who never posts the question and just searches.

  • Is a town the size of Montrose worth $1,500 a month?

    That comes down to what a single new customer brings you.

    A tire customer who comes back every season, a patient who stays for years, one furnace install: you know that figure better than we do. A plan for a single service in Montrose alone sits at the low end of the range. Set that against ads: $1,500 buys roughly 79 clicks on “garage door repair montrose co” at about $19 apiece, and each of those clicks is spent the moment it's paid for. A page of yours that ranks for that search goes on drawing clicks month after month. The call ends with the searches we'd go after and the monthly price, so you can run the numbers yourself before deciding anything.

  • An SEO outfit sent me reports for a year. What's different?

    You check where you stand yourself, no report required.

    Your written plan lists every search we're going after by name. Type any of them into Google on your phone, any day you like, and see where your business comes up. Your Google Maps listing also keeps its own tally of calls and direction requests, and you can see those numbers whenever you log in.

  • Can anyone guarantee I'll be first?

    No.

    No one can truthfully promise you a place on Google, and we won't. Google sets the order and reshuffles it as it pleases. Our commitment is the work written in your plan, so there's something concrete to hold us to.

  • My website is old. Does it have to go?

    No.

    We work on the website you've got now. If something about it is costing you customers, we'll point to it and explain why, and what you do about it is up to you.

  • Can I quit if it isn't working?

    The length is set in writing before you sign, and the pages stay yours.

    On the call, you can ask how long we'd suggest for the searches you care about. Whatever length you agree to is written into the plan, and you read it before agreeing to anything. There's nothing extra hiding past that date. If you stop working with us, the pages we built remain on your website and the Google listing stays in your name.

Got a question we didn't cover? Raise it on the 30-minute call.
