SEO for Service Businesses: The Brutal Truth Nobody's Telling You
If you run a service business — HVAC, plumbing, roofing, auto glass, dental, anything — you've been pitched by an SEO agency. Here's why most of that is a scam. That's it. The math doesn't work for them to do more — their margins require you doing the actual work.
What Service Businesses Actually Need
Daily fresh content. Google Business Profile management. Schema markup. AI search engine optimization. Search Console audits. Citation building. Review automation. That's 20+ hours a month of actual work — not 2 hours of automated reports. More work, more output, less money.
How to Tell If Your Current Agency Is Scamming You
Ask three questions: How many new pages did you publish for me last month? Show me my Google Business Profile activity dashboard. What's my AI search visibility report? If they can't answer in 60 seconds, fire them.
