How We're Different From BrightLocal
BrightLocal reports. We deliver.
BrightLocal is local-SEO SaaS for agencies and in-house marketers that need citation tracking, GBP audits, and review reports. We are the delivery partner that actually fixes what those reports flag — for a solo pool pro, not an agency or marketing team.
30-day money-back guarantee on monthly plans. No setup fees. No contracts.

Why this matters for your pool business
Reports don't fix the gap
BrightLocal is great at surfacing citation inconsistencies, GBP gaps, and review velocity issues. Then what? You still need someone to fix the site, the listings, the schema, the reviews. That's us.
Built for the P&L of a pool pro
$39+/mo for a SaaS dashboard is fine for agencies running 50 clients; for an owner-operator it's not the answer. The work is the answer.
Pool-pro aware
We know your seasonality, your services, your service area phrasing, and your trust signals. BrightLocal's reports are vertical-agnostic by design.
Quarterly audit, fixed work
On the $298/mo plan, we audit your AI visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews each quarter and deliver the fixes in the same engagement. One vendor. One bill. One thing done.
Reviewed by a 30+ year veteran
Every site is reviewed and approved by John, a 30+ year web veteran. AI-assisted, human-supervised. No junior hand-offs.
No reports to read
You get a written summary and the work done. We track the score and tell you what moved. You focus on pools.
Want to see what AI says about your business today?
The free AI visibility audit checks your listings, your Google Business Profile, your reviews cadence, and what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews say about your business — and tells you the specific gaps and what we'd do to close them. Within 5 business days. No call, no pitch.
