Services

The work stays tied to pressure, rankings, and calls.

No public niche dump. No fake methodology language. Just the systems that matter when the market is competitive and the phone needs to ring.

Mike is useful when the category is ugly, the geography is hard, and generic agency work keeps dying on contact.

Google Maps pressure campaigns

GBP tuning, entity cleanup, and category alignment for high-competition markets.

Clear read on what rang, what converted, and what should get cut.

Proof

You can inspect the work without getting the whole playbook.

This site is about capability, not outing every niche or market Mike touches.
