How we work
From free audit to first calls in about two weeks
No long onboarding, no jargon, no surprises.
One client per trade per area, so we never compete against ourselves. Free, no obligation, and you keep the audit either way.
The four steps
Step 1: Free audit
We review your ads, Google Business Profile, website and the three businesses that outrank you, and send back the fixes that matter most.
2 business days
Step 2: Plan and quote
A one-page plan: which searches to win first, the budget it needs, what we do every month and a fixed fee.
20-minute call
Step 3: Launch
Call and form tracking first, then campaigns, profile fixes and landing pages. Nothing goes live without your OK.
About 2 weeks
Step 4: Report and improve
A monthly report in plain language: calls, booked jobs, cost per lead and what we change next.

How we are different
| What you get | Typical agency | Banish Media |
|---|---|---|
| Who they work with | Anyone who signs | Home-service businesses only |
| Contract | 6 to 12 months | Month to month |
| Who owns the ad account | Often the agency | Always you |
| Reporting | Clicks and impressions | Calls, booked jobs, cost per job |
| Your competitors | Often clients too | One business per trade per area |
| Ad spend | Sometimes marked up | Paid by you to Google, never marked up |
Process questions
How quickly will I see results?
Google Ads and Local Services Ads can bring calls within days of going live. Google Business Profile fixes show within weeks. SEO usually takes three to six months to build real momentum.
Do you guarantee rankings or leads?
No one can honestly guarantee Google rankings, so we do not. We guarantee the work: a clear plan, transparent reporting on calls and booked jobs, and no long contract if it is not working.
What does your monthly reporting include?
Calls, forms and booked jobs by source, cost per lead, ad spend, rankings and map visibility, plus what we did that month and what we will change next. Short enough to read in five minutes.
What is in the free audit?
A review of your Google Ads (if you run them), Google Business Profile, website and top three local competitors, with the three changes most likely to bring in more jobs. It is yours to keep whether or not you hire us.
