1. What the $500 setup is

A one-time fee for one business location. No monthly charge.
Your Google Business Profile is free from Google. The $500 is for my work on it.
The goal: your business in the top 3 of Google’s map results for one search we agree on together, checked from one spot in your town we also agree on, within 90 days of the day I get manager access to your Google Business Profile.
What I do: set up and fix your Google Business Profile (categories, services, description, photos you send, posts), the basics on your website if it needs them (I tell you before I change anything on your site), and the review-request text your crew sends after jobs. You get a screenshot of where you stand on day one and a short progress email every Friday.

2. What I need from you

Manager access to your Google Business Profile, and a login or editor invite for your website.
Real photos from your jobs when you have them.
Your part: send the review-request text to customers after each job. Reviews are the one thing I can’t do for you.

One agreed search, written the way a customer types it (for example, “tree service norfolk va”).
Checked from one spot in your town that we agree on before you pay, usually where most of your customers are, not your shop. I write the spot down in the email with your payment link.
I search signed out of Google, during business hours, so it’s what a customer there sees.
“Top 3” means your listing is one of the three businesses in the map results for that search.
I check on day one and on day 90 the same way, and send you both screenshots.

If your listing isn’t in the top 3 for the agreed search on day 90, checked as above, you get a full refund of the $500.
To get it, reply to my day-90 email or email jack@starkemediaco.com within 14 days. The refund goes back to the card or account you paid with.
The guarantee holds as long as you’ve sent the review-request text after jobs, I’ve kept manager access, and the business name, address, phone number and categories haven’t been changed without telling me.

Google decides rankings, and I’m not affiliated with Google. Rankings move from day to day; the guarantee is about the day-90 check.
I don’t buy reviews, write fake ones, or use fake photos or locations. Everything I do follows Google’s rules.

Paid once, up front, through a secure Stripe payment link. Stripe handles your card; I never see your full card number.

Nothing renews on its own. If you want help staying in the top 3, there’s an optional monthly plan, month to month, priced separately.

Website builds and rebuilds are quoted separately as a fixed-scope project. You own your domain and your site.

From the day you pay through day 90, I won’t take on a new client in your trade in your town. “Your trade” and “your town” are the ones in the search we agree on (for example, fence companies in Norfolk).
If you stay on the monthly plan after day 90, that holds for as long as you’re on it. If you stop, it ends when your last paid month ends.
It doesn’t cover clients I already have on the day you pay. If one of them is in your trade and town, I’ll tell you before you pay.
