How long until I see results?
Local visibility often starts moving within 30 to 90 days. Competitive markets can take four to six months. We report leading indicators from the first month (profile views, calls, rankings and AI mentions) so you are never guessing.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No, and nobody honestly can, because Google decides rankings. What we guarantee is the work: on day 7 you get a written roadmap with dates, and if we miss a deliverable on it, we finish it free and credit the month.
What is AI search optimization, and do I need it?
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews now answer questions directly and often name specific businesses. AI answer optimization (you may hear GEO or AEO) makes sure your business facts, reviews and content are clear, consistent and easy to cite. If your customers research before they buy, you need it.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. Monthly plans are month-to-month and sprints are one-time. If it is not working for you, you can stop.
Do I own my accounts and content?
Yes. Your Google profile, analytics, website and content stay in your name. We work as users on your accounts, never the other way around.
What do you need from me?
Access to your Google Business Profile and website, a 30-minute kickoff call, and quick approvals when we send content for review. If you do not have analytics or Search Console set up, we do it for you.
Who do you work with?
Local and service-area businesses: contractors, clinics, salons, restaurants, legal and professional services. We are based in Chicagoland and work remotely with businesses across the US.
Is the Glow Audit credited if I sign up?
Yes. If you start a sprint or monthly plan within 14 days of receiving your audit, the full $297 is credited to your first invoice.
