Only when ready
Use when
Site is dated, confusing, thin, or missing service-area depth
Site can support visitors but Google, maps, and AI answers need work
Calls, forms, source, follow-up, and lead quality are unclear
Job value, landing path, tracking, and follow-up can support spend
Primary focus
Structure, copy, CTAs, trust, speed, and measurement
Search trends, GBP, service facts, content, links, AI visibility checks
Cleaner attribution and owner-ready reporting
Qualified traffic without masking site or tracking problems
Avoid if
The business only needs a tiny brochure site
The market economics cannot justify ongoing work
Nobody will act on the reporting
The landing page or follow-up process is not ready
