Most clients see movement in 30 to 90 days, so the first months focus on the basics that Google reads first. We start with your Google Business Profile, including services, hours, photos and the areas you serve. Accurate details give Google a clear picture of your shop. That picture shapes how your shop appears in search.

Next we set up review requests after every job, so your review count grows with real customers. A steady stream of recent reviews helps a shop earn one of the three spots on Google's map. We also check your name, address and phone number across listings. Matching details help Google trust that your shop is real.

Then we build service pages for the repairs your customers search for most, such as outboard motor service or hull repair. Each page explains what you fix, the boats you work on and how to book. Pages like these answer questions before the call comes in. They also give Google more reasons to show your shop.

Call tracking shows which searches bring in calls, so you can see what is working. Technical fixes make your site load fast on phones, which matters for owners searching at the dock. The Site Garage client portal lets you follow progress without waiting for a report. Each step builds on the last one.
