Valux Valet Confidential · Prepared July 2026
Marketing Partnership · Event & Residential Valet

Valux Valet is invisible online.
Let's make you findable.

A full presence and demand-generation partnership built around what a live audit actually found: zero Google Business Profile, zero search visibility, and a review count of zero against competitors sitting at 15 to 251. This is the honest plan to fix the foundation, then go get the venues, planners, and property managers who actually sign valet contracts.

No Google Business Profile exists

A direct Google Maps search for the exact brand name "Valux Valet" in Houston, TX returned zero matching listings. Every result was a competitor: Elegant Valet Service, Valet Central, Dexterous Valet, Classy Valet, Next Level Valet, Sovereign Services, Valet Guru, Eli Valet.

Finding 03

The demand that exists is thin, and polluted

Head-term demand is roughly 210 searches a month, and a large share of that is airport parking and job-seeker intent, not people hiring event or residential valet.

This measures what the results page is made of, not what share of the 210 monthly searches each intent represents. The true buyer share of that 210 is unmeasured. A meaningful share of the exact term you'd expect to own is people parking at IAH/Hobby or looking for a valet job, not property managers or hosts hiring event or residential valet. This is why the plan cannot lean on SEO alone.
Real event and residential valet demand in Houston is a fraction of an already-thin 210 searches a month. That's the honest starting point, and it's exactly why this plan is not another "$500/mo SEO" pitch.

The strongest single on-page relevance signal a page has still sells the service you're moving away from. H1 reads "Premium Valet Services That Elevate Every Arrival," with no mention of event or residential valet anywhere.

Finding 04

The site is a single page

Full sitemap enumeration returns the homepage, a privacy policy, and a terms page. No event valet page, no residential valet page, no contact page, no service-area pages. One URL can't rank for two different buyer intents.

Finding 05

No local business schema

The homepage carries WebPage, Organization, and BreadcrumbList schema, but nothing that tells Google this is a LocalBusiness: no Service, FAQPage, AggregateRating, or AreaServed markup.

Finding 06

No social presence linked anywhere

Zero Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, or TikTok links in the homepage HTML. For event valet specifically, that's a structural gap: weddings and galas are chosen visually and vetted socially, and competitors like J&G Valet, Eli Valet, and AGE Valet already rank on Instagram and Facebook for these searches.

Chart · Visibility scorecard, current state vs where it needs to be
Every measure below comes directly from the live audit, pulled 2026-07-27.
Valux Valet visibility scorecard Google Business Profile goal: live No listing found for "Valux Valet" in Houston, TX Local pack (3-pack) benchmark: ~25-40 reviews Absent on all 3 core searches checked live Organic search (3 SERPs) goal: present, not primary 0 of 3 core SERPs, 0 organic positions Social presence goal: active Zero linked profiles found in site HTML Reviews benchmark: ~35 median 0 reviews, competitors range 15 to 251 Service-specific site pages goal: 5-page named build 1 generic homepage, 0 pages built for either service
Note the organic-search target is intentionally short of 100%: given the thin, airport-polluted demand documented above, search should be a credibility layer, not the primary lead engine. The dashed markers above show what good looks like, not a promise. Two are competitive benchmarks pulled from live data, not commitments: local pack entry requires a verified profile plus roughly 25 to 40 reviews, and across the full 16-competitor field pulled live on 2026-07-27, review counts run 15 to 251 with a median of about 35 (the chart above shows the top 8). The remaining markers (profile live, active social, and the named 5-page build) are things fully within our control, so those stay hard goals. Organic presence is shown as a directional goal only, since Google decides rankings.
One piece of good news in the data: "valet trash service houston" is dominated by venture-backed national platforms (valetliving.com, trashbutler.com, and others). Competing head-on with them on that term is a losing fight for a local operator. Your instinct to pivot away from trash valet is exactly right, and the data backs it up.
03 · The strategy

Four tiers. Foundation first, then where the growth actually has to come from.

Because real search demand is thin and partly polluted, this plan does not sell SEO as your lead engine. It fixes the foundation fast and cheap, then puts the real weight behind the channels that create demand instead of waiting for it.

Chart · Recommended effort allocation across all four tiers
With total local search demand at roughly 210/month across the closest variants of "valet parking houston" (live Google Ads pull, Houston TX, 2026-07-27), and a meaningful share of that polluted by airport and job-seeker intent, budget and hours can't be weighted toward search. This is how the work splits across a full engagement. The $397 core program carries Foundation, the organic side of demand generation, paid campaign management, and measurement. The $200 cold email add-on carries the outbound half of demand generation, which is the largest slice because it is where valet contracts are actually won.

TIER 1 Foundation
01

Create and verify your Google Business Profile

We build and verify a complete GBP for Valux Valet in Houston, with hours, service area, categories, and photos, so that you are eligible to appear on the map at all, which today you are not, because no profile for Valux Valet exists for Google to show.

02

Rebuild the site into event and residential paths

We replace the single trash-first homepage with a real site structure: home, event valet, residential/multifamily valet, and contact pages, plus one venues-served page instead of generic city-by-city area pages, retitled away from trash collection, so that Google and buyers can tell at a glance which service they need instead of guessing from one generic page. Any additional area page is capped at 2 and only gets built if it's genuinely differentiated with named venues and real job photos, not a templated city swap.

03

Add LocalBusiness, Service, and FAQ schema

We write and install LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, and AreaServed structured data, so that Google has a machine-readable record of your name, service area, and offerings instead of guessing from body copy, and so that you're positioned for AI Overview citations on queries like "event valet houston," where an AI Overview already appears and is currently unclaimed.

04

Launch the review generation engine

The host's mobile number and email are captured on the booking form or entered at job creation, so the request has somewhere to go. You or your lead attendant then mark the job complete in a one-tap form, and an SMS or email review request goes out automatically to the paying host or property contact only, never event guests, so that every completed job automatically generates a review request and your count starts climbing toward the 25 to 40 range the local pack rewards, without you or your team having to remember to ask.

TIER 2 Demand generation, the actual growth engine
05

Build out Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, and launch Meta/IG ads

We create and run organic social content plus paid Meta and Instagram campaigns aimed at Houston weddings, quinceañeras, galas, and corporate events, so that the planners and hosts who choose vendors visually and vet them socially can find and trust you before they ever call, the same way J&G Valet, Eli Valet, and AGE Valet already do.

06

Run B2B outbound to venues, planners, caterers, and property managers

We build a target list of 150 to 200 Houston event venues, wedding and event planners, caterers, country clubs, and multifamily property management groups, the Houston Apartment Association alone represents more than 2,800 member communities (Houston Apartment Association, haaonline.org, accessed July 2026), and those management groups are the accounts that actually sign residential valet contracts. We run a 4-step email sequence plus 1 call plus 1 in-person venue drop for top-priority accounts, contacting 25 to 30 new accounts per week, and because that pace works through the initial list in roughly 6 to 8 weeks, we rebuild it by 60 to 80 net-new accounts a month from Houston Apartment Association member communities, venue and catering directories, and planner associations, so the sequence never runs dry. Alex or a dedicated Mastodon outreach rep makes the calls. We produce a one-page capability sheet, certificate of insurance, pricing sheet, and a running list of venue preferred-vendor applications submitted, targeting 4 to 6 qualified meetings or applications a month once the sequence is fully running, from roughly month 3, as a target rather than a guarantee, so you get in front of the people who actually sign valet contracts instead of waiting on a search box that only sees about 210 monthly searches, most of it not even your buyer. If cold email is part of the mix, a dedicated sending domain is purchased and warmed up starting day 1, so first cold sends land in weeks 4 to 5, not day 30. Every cold email carries a physical address and one-click unsubscribe per CAN-SPAM, and SMS is never used for cold B2B outreach, only for clients who've opted in.

07

Publish content built for AI Overview and Google visibility (GEO)

We write and publish event- and residential-valet content structured for citation by AI Overviews and answer engines, so that when a buyer's first stop is ChatGPT or an AI Overview instead of a blue link, Valux Valet is one of the sources it pulls from instead of a competitor.

TIER 3 Demand capture, small and surgical
08

Run Google Ads as a bounded 90-day test, not a scale channel

After stripping airport, IAH, Hobby, permit, and job-seeker intent from the 210/month head term, the genuinely commercial remainder is plausibly a few dozen searches a month metro-wide, too thin to tune against or for automated bidding to learn on. So we set a $400 to $600/month ceiling rather than a target. On inventory this thin the campaign will very likely underspend it, and that is the correct outcome, not a failure. We buy the clicks that exist at the $11.53 to $21.49 CPCs the live pull returned, on manual CPC or maximize-clicks rather than a conversion-based bid strategy, for a 90-day window, with negatives for airport, IAH, Hobby, permits, and job-seeker terms built from the audit's own SERP findings on day one, so that airport, IAH, Hobby and job-seeker queries are excluded from your spend before the campaign ever goes live, rather than being discovered after the budget is gone. If cost per qualified inquiry exceeds the agreed threshold, proposed at $200 per qualified inquiry, after the 90-day window, budget shifts to B2B outbound instead.

TIER 4 Measurement
09

Install call tracking, conversion tracking, and a monthly dashboard

We put tracked numbers and conversion events on the site, GBP, and every ad channel, and roll it into one monthly report, so you can see exactly which channel produced each call and each form fill, instead of not knowing, which is the situation today. Because relationships are invisible to call tracking, B2B and referral contracts need manual source tagging in the shared pipeline described in Investment.

04 · What you get, channel by channel

Every channel we run, organized by tier, with the reason it exists.

This is the complete deliverable list. Nothing here is generic; every line ties back to something the audit found.

Tier 1 · Foundation
Google Business Profile + local SEO

We create, verify, and fully optimize your GBP with categories, service area, hours, and photos, so that you are eligible to appear on the map at all, which today you are not, because no profile for Valux Valet exists for Google to show.

Review generation engine

We set up a one-tap job-complete trigger plus an automated SMS/email review request to the paying host or property contact only, so that every completed job automatically generates a review request without you or your team having to remember to ask. Reviews come from completed jobs and not every host leaves one, so reaching the 25 to 40 range the pack occupants sit above is a multi-quarter effort paced by your event volume, which we project properly once the day 1 to 7 baseline tells us your current events per month.

Website rebuild + CRO (named page set, capped area pages)

We replace the single-page trash-titled site with a named 5-page build (home, event valet, residential/multifamily valet, contact, and a venues-served page) instead of generic templated city pages, so that each buyer intent lands on a page built for it instead of a generic homepage that speaks to neither.

Technical SEO + schema

We fix indexation (clean out the 3 junk MetForm/Elementor URLs), retitle the site away from trash collection, and install LocalBusiness/Service/FAQ schema, so that Google has a correct, complete, machine-readable picture of what Valux Valet actually does.

Basic lead capture (form to CRM, auto-reply, missed-call text-back)

We wire every form and every missed call into one place with an automatic text-back inside 2 minutes, so that an inquiry arriving while you are parking cars on a Saturday night is answered and held instead of lost, which is the situation today with a phone number and no email address published anywhere.

Tier 2 · Demand generation
Meta / Instagram ads

We build and run paid Meta and Instagram campaigns targeted at Houston event hosts and planners, so that you're showing up in front of people actively planning weddings and galas, on a channel where you can target by life event rather than bidding against airport parking operators for the same click.

Organic social (Instagram / Facebook / TikTok)

We build out and post real event and job-site content across Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, so that when a planner or venue coordinator checks you out before hiring, they find an active, credible profile instead of the zero linked social profiles the audit found in your site HTML today.

B2B outbound to venues, planners, caterers, property managers

We build a 150 to 200 account target list and run direct outreach into Houston's event venues, wedding/event planners, caterers, and multifamily property managers. The Houston Apartment Association represents more than 2,800 member communities (Houston Apartment Association, haaonline.org, accessed July 2026), and those management groups are the accounts that actually sign residential valet contracts, so your outreach targets decision makers rather than waiting on search traffic that mostly is not your buyer.

Content / GEO (AI Overview visibility)

We write and structure event- and residential-valet content for AI Overview and answer-engine citation, so that Valux Valet has a shot at being cited when a buyer asks an AI assistant instead of typing a search, especially on "event valet houston," where an AI Overview already exists.

Tier 3 · Demand capture
Google Ads, a bounded 90-day test with airport/jobs negatives

We run a $400 to $600/month test on manual CPC or maximize-clicks, not automated bidding, since the genuinely commercial volume is too thin for it to learn on, with airport and job-seeker negatives built from the audit's own SERP findings on day one, so that airport, IAH, Hobby and job-seeker queries are excluded from your spend before the campaign ever goes live, rather than being discovered after the budget is gone.

Email / CRM nurture + lead follow-up automation

The core program answers the first inquiry instantly. This is the layer above that, also included: multi-step follow-up running over days and weeks for the venues, planners, and hosts who do not book on first contact, so that a lead who is six months out from their event is still being worked when the date finally gets close, instead of going cold after one reply.

Tier 4 · Measurement
Call tracking + conversion tracking

We install tracked phone numbers and conversion events across the site, GBP, and every ad account, so you can see exactly which channel produced each call and each form fill instead of not knowing, which is the situation today.

Monthly reporting dashboard

We roll every channel into one monthly report with plain-language takeaways, so you can see what's working in five minutes instead of digging through five different logins yourself.

Lightweight pipeline for B2B and referral deals

Because call tracking only sees what comes through a tracked number or form, we set up a shared pipeline (a sheet or basic CRM stages) where you mark quoted, won, and contract value by hand for B2B and referral business, so those relationship-driven contracts still show up in the numbers instead of vanishing from the report.

05 · The honest comparison

Doing nothing, hiring a cheap SEO-only agency, or building real demand.

Given that real search demand is roughly 210/month and partly airport-polluted, here's what each path actually gets you.

Path
Doing nothing
Cheap SEO-only agency
Mastodon Marketing
Google Business Profile
Stays nonexistent. You remain absent from every "near me" search.
Sometimes covered, but rarely paired with an actual review push.
Created, verified, and paired with an active review generation engine.
Where the leads actually come from
Nowhere. No channel is running.
Search only, against demand that's roughly 210/month and partly airport-polluted.
Social, B2B outbound to venues and planners, and partnerships, the channels that fit how event valet is actually bought.
Google Ads spend efficiency
N/A, not running.
Often untouched negatives, so spend leaks to airport parkers and job seekers at $11.53+ CPC.
Surgical negatives strip out airport and jobs intent before spend goes live.
Website
Stays a single page titled around trash collection.
Usually left alone; SEO agencies rarely touch site structure or copy.
Rebuilt into a named 5-page structure: event and residential paths plus a venues-served page, not generic templated city pages.
Measurement
No idea which channel, if any, produces a contract.
A rankings report, rarely tied to actual booked contracts.
Call tracking and conversion tracking on every call and form fill, plus a shared pipeline where B2B and referral contracts are tagged by hand, so relationship deals still show up.
The old Valux proposals ($500/mo SEO plus $500/mo Google Ads, both aimed at property managers) were built on an assumption the live data doesn't support: that meaningful numbers of buyers search for this service. They don't. ~210/month head-term demand, heavily airport-polluted, is not a business. This plan is built around how valet contracts are actually won.
06 · Investment

One monthly engagement. No setup fee.

Ad spend is separate and paid directly to Google/Meta in accounts that belong to you.

Onboarding & build
The foundation work that has to happen once, before any channel can perform. There is no separate build fee, so nothing stands between you and starting.
Includedno setup fee
  • Website rebuild: home, event valet, residential/multifamily valet, contact, and a venues-served page, retitled off trash, so buyers and Google can tell what you actually do from the first page they land on
  • LocalBusiness / Service / FAQ schema implementation, so that Google has a machine-readable record of your name, service area, and offerings instead of guessing from body copy
  • Google Business Profile creation + verification, so that you have a live, verified presence for Google to show instead of the zero listings the audit found
  • Call tracking + conversion tracking install, so every call and form fill is attributed to a channel from day one instead of retrofitted later

Core program

$397/mo

Everything needed to make Valux Valet findable, credible, and able to catch the demand it gets. This is the whole foundation and the organic engine in one line item, with the build included rather than charged separately.

Covers strategic Tier 1 Foundation, the organic half of Tier 2 Demand generation, and all of Tier 4 Measurement.
Onboarding & build
Site rebuild, schema, GBP creation and verification, tracking install, all delivered in month one, so you are not paying a separate four-figure setup fee before anything starts working.
Included
GBP management + review generation engine
Ongoing profile management, posts, and automated review requests, so your listing stays accurate and a review request goes out on every completed job without manual upkeep.
Included
Technical SEO maintenance + GEO content
Ongoing schema, indexation, and AI-Overview-structured content, so Google and AI answer engines keep a current, correct picture of what you offer.
Included
Organic social (Instagram / Facebook / TikTok)
Content calendar and posting across all three, so planners and hosts who vet vendors socially find an active profile instead of the zero linked profiles the audit found.
Included

Instant auto-reply and text-back within 2 minutes on every inbound form and missed call, so a Friday-night inquiry doesn't sit untouched until Monday.

You mark each lead quoted, won, and its contract value, and we roll every channel into one monthly report, so B2B and referral deals that are invisible to call tracking still show up in what we report.
Included
Core program
No setup fee and no ad spend required to start, so your fixed cost stays predictable while the foundation does its job.
$397per month
Recommended add-on

Cold email outreach

+$200/mo

The channel that actually wins event and residential valet contracts. Search demand is roughly 210 a month across the metro and heavily airport-polluted, so the contracts come from going directly to venues, planners, and property managers rather than waiting for them to search.

Covers strategic Tier 2 Demand generation, outbound half.
Target list build and monthly replenishment
150 to 200 Houston event venues, wedding and event planners, caterers, country clubs, and multifamily property management groups, rebuilt by 60 to 80 net-new accounts a month, so the sequence never runs dry once the first list is worked through.
Included
Cold email sequence
A dedicated sending domain purchased and warmed from day 1 with first sends landing in weeks 4 to 5, then a 4-step sequence at 25 to 30 new accounts a week, CAN-SPAM compliant, so you reach decision makers without putting your main domain's deliverability at risk.
Included
Sales collateral
A one-page capability sheet, certificate of insurance, and pricing sheet, plus a running list of venue preferred-vendor applications submitted, so when a venue asks what you can do you have an answer ready instead of building it that night.
Included
Cold email outreach
Targeting 4 to 6 qualified meetings or applications a month once the sequence is fully running, from roughly month 3, as a target rather than a guarantee, so you are buying a repeatable pipeline rather than a one-off list.
$200per month

Total

$597/mo
Core program + cold email outreach
One monthly number, no setup fee, cancel with 30 days notice after the minimum term, so you can judge this on what it produces rather than on what you already sank into it. Ad spend, if and when you choose to run paid, is separate and paid directly by you.
$597per month
Ad spend is always separate and paid directly to Google and Meta in ad accounts that belong to you, not to Mastodon Marketing. Given the $11.53 to $21.49 CPCs the live audit found on core valet terms, Google Ads budget is deliberately modest and surgical rather than a volume play.
Meta minimum and reality check: In our experience Meta needs at least $500/month behind it to gather enough signal to run at all, and 60 to 90 days minimum before the channel can be fairly judged. At local-service volume, Meta will not accumulate enough conversions per week to fully optimize on booked jobs, so we optimize on an upper-funnel event first and treat the first 60 days as a creative and audience read, not a cost-per-lead benchmark. If cost per qualified inquiry exceeds the agreed threshold, proposed at $200 per qualified inquiry, after 90 days, budget moves to the outbound engine.
Google Ads is a bounded test, not a scale channel: a $400 to $600/month test budget on manual CPC or maximize-clicks, since the volume is too thin for automated bidding to learn on, running for 90 days, with airport/IAH/Hobby/job-seeker negatives built from the audit's own SERP findings on day one. If cost per qualified inquiry exceeds the agreed threshold, proposed at $200 per qualified inquiry, after 90 days, budget shifts to the outbound engine as well.
Commercial terms

The short version of what you're agreeing to, so there are no surprises later.

  • Minimum term: 90 days, so the Foundation work has time to actually take effect, then month to month after that. Ninety days will not produce local pack movement, which we say plainly is a 6 to 12 month arc. What you should have by day 90 is the shipped asset base (profile verified, named page build live, schema and tracking installed), a measured baseline, and a live outbound pipeline with meetings held, which is what makes month 4 onward worth renewing.
  • Cancellation: 30 days written notice at any point after the minimum term, so you are never locked into a channel that has stopped earning its place.
  • Ownership: the Google Business Profile, website, domain, social profiles, ad accounts, and CRM data are yours from day one and transfer to you in full at exit, so you're never locked into us to keep what we built.
  • Call tracking: your real (832) 423-1681 number stays the primary number on your GBP, and the tracked number is a secondary forwarding line, so your NAP stays consistent everywhere it's listed and you're never hostage to a rented number.
07 · Timeline

What gets done, and when.

Framed as what gets DONE, not promised rankings or lead counts. Given the thin, honest demand picture, that's the fair way to set expectations.

Capacity check, before we turn up demand
Event valet is staffing-intensive. Generating demand you can't service is the single most likely way this plan fails, and a brand-new profile collecting its first reviews from a badly staffed job is worse than no profile at all.

Before we launch paid demand or scale outbound volume, we need the following from you by day 7. Without it, paid demand does not launch and outbound holds at the minimum cadence:

  • Current attendant headcount
  • Maximum cars and maximum concurrent events you can service today
  • Lead time needed to staff a large event
  • Insurance limits, including garage keepers liability coverage
Ad budget and outbound volume are throttled to match your stated serviceable capacity, and scale only as capacity scales. If demand outpaces capacity, the plan calls for a hiring or subcontractor trigger before we push harder on any channel, not the other way around.
Days 1-7 · Baseline + onboarding

Before anything launches, we capture the starting line so progress is measurable: current events per month, current inbound call volume, average event contract value, average residential contract value and term, and close rate. We also confirm or install Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console, since neither was established in the live audit, and collect the access and assets listed in Next Steps.

Days 8-14 · Foundation build

Google Business Profile submitted for verification, which in our experience lands in 5 to 14 days by postcard, video, or phone and can require a second attempt, so the profile is not guaranteed to be live the moment we submit it. Website rebuild begins (home, event valet, residential/multifamily valet, contact, and a venues-served page), LocalBusiness/Service/FAQ schema written, call and conversion tracking installed.

Days 15-30 · Channels go live

New site launches on its own track, independent of GBP verification, which runs in parallel and does not hold up the build you paid for. The review-request system turns on (a job marked complete triggers an SMS/email request to the paying host or property contact), Meta/Instagram ads and organic social begin publishing, and the B2B target list (150 to 200 accounts) is built with outreach underway. If cold email is part of the mix, the sending domain has already been warming up since day 1. A day-30 build-status report goes out: what shipped and what's live, not a performance report, since most channels are still ramping.

Months 2-3 · Compound and tune

In our experience new pages are indexed within 1 to 4 weeks. Local pack movement against competitors holding 15 to 251 reviews is a 6 to 12 month arc, not a 90-day one, and review count growth tracks completed jobs, not the calendar, so judge months 1 to 3 on what shipped and on inquiries from social and outbound, not on rankings. Google Ads launches as a bounded 90-day test whenever you choose to fund the spend with negatives already tuned from the audit's own SERP data, B2B outbound cadence runs continuously, and the first full monthly performance report is delivered once a complete month of channel data exists. Because venue preferred-vendor lists, country club approvals, and property-management contracts run on RFP and annual budget cycles of 1 to 6 months and usually require an insurance review first, the month 3 review is judged on pipeline built (meetings held, vendor-list applications submitted, certificates requested) rather than on contracts closed.

Month 4+ · Optimize on real data

Budget and hours shift toward whichever channels are actually producing calls and contracts, GEO/AI Overview visibility is reassessed, and outbound partnerships (venues, planners) are deepened with the ones responding best. Houston event valet concentrates in spring and fall wedding season plus the November to December corporate gala window, so pacing and creative are adjusted around that seasonality rather than spread evenly across the year. On a July start that matters immediately: fall wedding season and the gala window land inside months 2 to 5, and venue preferred-vendor applications run on 1 to 6 month approval cycles, so those applications go out in month 1 rather than waiting for month 4.

Note on what we won't promise We won't promise a specific ranking, a specific number of leads, or a specific revenue figure. Real search demand for this service is thin, roughly 210/month, and partly polluted by airport and job-seeker intent. What we will commit to is exactly what gets built and shipped, on the schedule above, honestly measured every month.

A quick note from Alex

Reply or text to green-light

A quick yes gets this started. No signature ceremony, just a reply or a text to (832) 979-8426.

Confirm your start

$397 a month for the core program, or $597 a month with the cold email outreach add-on, which is the one we recommend given where the contracts actually come from.

Onboarding + asset access

A simple onboarding link to share access to your domain, the Google account we should create the profile under plus verification documents, and (if applicable) ad accounts, so we can start building.

Foundation build starts

GBP, the rebuilt site, schema, and tracking get built out over the first 1 to 2 weeks.

What we need from you, and by when

These are the things only you can provide. Late on any of them pushes back the timeline on that piece, not the whole plan.

  • Photos and video of real jobs, critical for social and ads to launch on schedule
  • Certificate of insurance and any relevant licensing
  • The Google account we should create the profile under, plus verification documents
  • A business address or a clear service-area designation
  • Your ad spend budget for Meta and, if applicable, Google
  • Named staffing capacity (attendant headcount, max concurrent events, lead time to staff)
  • Access to any existing accounts (website, domain registrar, social profiles)
  • A list of past clients we can reach out to for reviews and referrals

If job photos and video are not supplied by day 10, social and paid launch slip.
