TL;DR: Fix your Google Business Profile (GBP), publish 3 money-making service pages, earn reviews, add trusted listings, share one success story, and track calls. That’s it.

In 30 days, get found more, called more, and booked more. This is for any local, appointment-led service (medspa, trades, dental, legal, home services). The best part? This should only take about ~30 minutes per day, or 2-3 focused sessions per week.

Why This Works

Local search rewards businesses that are:

1. Accurate: Your name, phone, hours, and location match everywhere.
2. Relevant: You have real pages for your top services and local areas.
3. Trusted: You earn consistent public reviews and show real work/results.

Week 1: Get the Basics Right

1) Claim & Clean Your Google Business Profile (GBP)

• Set correct Name, Phone, Address/Service Area, Hours, Categories.
• Add 8-10 authentic photos (team, exterior, interior, work).
• Turn on website and appointment links.

2) Make Your Website Match

• Mirror the same phone + hours on your footer and contact page.
• Add clear Call and Book buttons (mobile-friendly).

3) Pick Your Focus

• Choose your Top 3 services and Top 3 nearby areas to target for the month.

Week 2: Build 3 Money Pages (Copy-and-Paste Layout)

Create a simple page for each top service.

Suggested outline:

• H1: [Service] in [City]
• What it is (plain language) - 2-3 sentences.
• Who it’s for / common concerns - short bullets.
• What to expect - time, process, recovery/warranty as relevant.
• Cost or “What affects cost” - set expectations.
• FAQs (3–5) - real questions, 45-120 words each.
• Local proof - “Proudly serving [City], [Area 1], [Area 2].”
• CTA - “Call Now” / “Book a Consultation”
  

Internal linking:

• Link these pages from your homepage and related services.

Week 3: Proof & Presence

Reviews (Social Proof)

• Ask 10 happy customers this week.
• Make it easy: a short review link or QR code at checkout.
• Reply to every review briefly and kindly.
  

Copy-and-paste SMS ask:

“Hi {{FirstName}}—thanks for choosing us today! If we earned 5⭐, a quick review here helps neighbors find us: {{short review link}}. Thank you!”

Local Listings (Trust Signals)

• Add your business to 10-20 trustworthy directories (local chamber, industry directories, BBB if you use it).
• Copy/paste the same Name, Phone, Hours, Description each time.
• Consistency matters!

One GBP Update (Freshness)

• Post a simple offer or tip + a real photo.
  
  • Example: “First-time {{Service}} consult - limited spots this month. Book online.”

Week 4: Momentum & Tracking

Share 1 Short Success Story

• Problem → Solution → Result (1–2 images)
• Link it back to the relevant service page.

Tidy Mobile & Speed Basics

• Compress large images, make buttons easy to tap, consider a sticky “Call” button on mobile.

Check What’s Working (Simple Only)

• In GBP: calls, website clicks, direction requests, and top searches.
• In your phone/CRM: booked appointments/jobs.

Final Thoughts

Simple wins first: fix the basics, ship three money pages, earn reviews, and show up where customers look. When you’re ready to amplify, remember that Google already shows you how to rank - open Google Search Console, spot the high-impression/low-click queries, and update or create pages around them.
