We don't sell rankings. We sell phone calls, booked appointments, and signed jobs. Below is exactly what we do, how we tailor it to your situation, and how we've already done it for businesses just like yours.
No jargon. No buzzwords. Each of these services is offered standalone or bundled into a custom retainer based on what your business actually needs.
Your Google Business Profile is the map pin that shows up when someone searches for what you do. We turn it from a static listing into a lead-generating asset.
Most of what holds local businesses back isn't sexy — it's broken redirects, slow page speed, and pages that don't match what searchers want. We fix the unglamorous stuff that actually moves rankings.
Every service you offer should have its own page on your website — written for both Google and the human who's about to call you. We write content that ranks AND converts.
Review velocity is the single highest-leverage local ranking factor — and it's also what convinces customers to call. We build a system to consistently earn more 5-star reviews.
Every directory where your business is listed — and every place your phone number appears online — needs to match. Inconsistencies confuse Google and hurt your rankings.
Quality over quantity. We earn links from businesses, organizations, and publications in your local market that genuinely matter — not spammy farms that hurt you.
You shouldn't have to guess if your SEO is working. Every call, every form fill, and every direction request is tracked and tied back to the source.
We track the businesses ranking ahead of you and figure out exactly what they're doing — then build a strategy to outrank them ethically.
Every business is different. A new shop with no website needs a completely different plan than an established business that just needs to move from page 2 to page 1. Here's how we adapt:
— What we focus on first based on your current GBP state —
You're already getting calls and reviews from your GBP. Our job is to protect that, expand its reach, and squeeze out the last 30% of performance that most businesses miss.
The profile is there but hasn't been touched in months. We treat it like a project — full reactivation in 30 days to start ranking again.
You're missing out on every map-based search. We set it up correctly from day one, get verified, and lay a foundation that compounds for years.
— Your site's current state changes our priorities completely —
You have a solid foundation. We focus on making it convert better and rank for more searches without rebuilding what already works.
Most issues are fixable without a redesign. We do triage on what's broken, prioritize the highest-impact fixes, and avoid expensive rebuilds when possible.
We build a lean, fast, conversion-focused site designed specifically to support your local SEO from day one — not a generic template that fights against ranking.
— More competition means more strategy, not just more spend —
Often the easiest wins. The right basics done consistently can put you at #1 in your area within months — and keep you there with minimal ongoing maintenance.
This is where most businesses operate. The fundamentals matter, but you also need a content strategy and review velocity that outpaces your competitors month over month.
Competitors are spending serious money on SEO. Winning here requires hyper-local strategy — start by dominating your specific neighborhood before expanding city-wide.
Every business comes to us with a different #1 priority. The work changes dramatically depending on what you actually need. Here's exactly how we approach each goal:
When the only metric that matters is your phone ringing, we strip away vanity metrics and focus on visibility in the exact spots high-intent customers look — Google Maps, the local 3-pack, and "near me" searches. Every step is reverse-engineered from "what makes someone pick up the phone."
The top 3 map results — the "local 3-pack" — get the majority of clicks for any local search. Getting in there isn't luck; it's a specific combination of GBP signals, proximity, prominence, and relevance that we systematically build over 60–120 days.
More reviews don't just look good — they directly affect whether you rank higher and whether customers choose you over the next listing. We build a reputation engine that runs in the background and consistently turns happy customers into 5-star reviews.
Traffic without conversions is a leaky bucket. If people are visiting your site but not calling or filling out forms, the issue is rarely traffic — it's the experience and trust signals on the page. We diagnose where the funnel breaks and fix it page-by-page.
When you have specific competitors in mind, the work becomes surgical. We reverse-engineer exactly what they're doing better, identify their weaknesses, and build a plan to overtake them in 6–12 months without copying their strategy outright.
For business owners who want comprehensive growth — more visibility, more calls, better website conversion, stronger reputation, and outranking competitors — we run a phased plan over 6–12 months that addresses every layer in the right sequence.
When you become a client, you're not just buying SEO services — you're buying our exclusive commitment to your market. We will never take on a competing business in your industry, in your city, while you're our client.
It's the only ethical way to do this work. We can't have two dentists in Round Rock paying us to outrank each other. We pick a side, and our entire focus goes toward making you win in your market.
When you sign on, your industry slot in your city is permanently closed to competitors.
We don't talk about results we can't back up. Here are two active LJMS clients with verifiable performance improvements you can call to confirm.
Alvarado Dental Group came to LJMS with a Google Business Profile that wasn't being managed, an Officite-built website with technical SEO issues (duplicate metadata, dead links, toxic backlinks), and a service catalog that wasn't reflected anywhere on the site. They were invisible to most local dental searches outside of brand name lookups.
San Diego is one of the most competitive dental markets in California — with hundreds of practices fighting for the same patients. Without a serious local SEO foundation, they were losing high-value implant and cosmetic cases to larger practices ranking above them.
The keyword "dentist near me" surged +1,980% in impressions in a single week — from 13 impressions to 312, with 5 direct clicks. Google flagged it as an unusual spike. It was the SEO compounding.
Fadox Construction & Restoration had the credentials and the project portfolio to compete with much larger firms in San Diego — but their Squarespace website was barely structured for SEO, their Google Business Profile was inactive, and they were missing entirely from searches like "ADU contractor San Diego" and "water damage restoration near me" — the exact searches their best customers were running.
For a service business that thrives on emergency calls (water damage, restoration) and high-ticket projects (ADU builds), being invisible to time-sensitive searches meant losing customers to whoever showed up first on Google.
Within 3 months of starting with LJMS, Fadox went from 1.66K monthly impressions to 33.6K — a 1,924% increase — and started generating roughly 25 inbound leads per month from organic search alone.
Once we sign on a competitor, your slot is closed. The fastest way to find out if your market is still available is to fill out the assessment — takes 3 minutes.
