No annual contracts and no lock-in. You stay because the work works.
Your Next Customer Is Choosing From a List of Three
Someone in your area needs what you sell. They pull out their phone and search “near me,” or they open ChatGPT and ask which local business is best. Either way, what comes back is a very short list — three map pack results, or two or three names in a paragraph of AI-generated text.
If you are not on that list, you were not rejected. You were never shown. The customer never saw your reviews, never compared your prices, and never knew you existed. They called whoever appeared.
Getting you onto that list is the entire job. It means a Google Business Profile built properly rather than half-finished, a page for each service you want to be called about, reviews that arrive steadily and say the right things, and information consistent enough that an AI assistant can describe your business with confidence.
Most local businesses have none of that in place. That is the opportunity.

Who We Work With
We work with local, service-based businesses across North America, the UK and the Caribbean. Two industries make up most of our work, and each has a page of its own.
Home services
HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, handyman and remodeling. Urgent, high-intent searches where homeowners want one trusted name fast — and where most businesses are still renting leads from Angi and Thumbtack.
Dental practices
General, cosmetic, implants and orthodontics. Patients ask AI which practice is best for nervous patients, implants or their insurance plan, and two or three names come back.
Other local service businesses
Med spas, wellness clinics, auto repair, insurance and professional services. If customers search for you locally, the same work applies.
We work remotely with local, service-based businesses across North America, the UK and the Caribbean. All of this work happens online, so where you are does not limit what we can do.
How We Work
Four steps, in this order, every time.
1
We audit
A full look at your website, Google Business Profile, local rankings, reviews and what AI assistants currently say about you. You see the findings before you commit to anything.
2
We fix the foundation
Profile built out properly, business details made consistent everywhere, schema added, and your key pages rewritten so both Google and AI can quote them.
3
We build visibility
A page for each service you want calls about, real service-area pages, a review system that runs without you remembering, and ads where they make sense.
4
We report monthly
Calls, form fills, map pack position, AI mention rate and review growth. One readable report, not forty pages of raw data.

Common Questions
Do you work with businesses outside your local area?
Yes. Spike Marketing works remotely with businesses across North America, the UK and the Caribbean. Local SEO and AI visibility work is performed entirely online, so your location does not limit what we can do for you.
How do you get a business recommended by ChatGPT?
You get recommended by ChatGPT by making your business easy for AI to describe with confidence. That means a complete and accurate Google Business Profile, consistent business information across directories, structured data on your website, a steady flow of recent reviews, and website content written in clear, quotable sentences. AI tools assemble answers from these sources — when your information is thin or inconsistent, they name a competitor instead.
How long does local SEO take to show results?
Google Business Profile and schema work often moves map pack visibility within two to four weeks. Competitive service page rankings usually take three to six months. Reviews compound continuously. AI visibility currently moves fastest of all, because very few local businesses have addressed it yet.
What does a local SEO campaign cost?
Plans are $1,297, $1,997 and $2,597 USD per month, plus a one-time $500 setup fee that covers the first two weeks of onboarding: the audit, Google Business Profile rebuild, schema, citation cleanup, review system and conversion tracking. Every plan is month to month with no long-term contract.
Do you work with dental practices?
Yes. Dental is one of our two main industries, alongside home services. Patients routinely ask AI which local practice is best for nervous patients, implants or a particular insurance plan, and the practices with complete profiles, recent reviews and clearly structured service information are the ones that get named.

Will you work with my competitors?
No. We do not take two businesses competing for the same customers in the same market. Once we are working with you, that search area is yours.
