Regular Reviews

---

For a small business, regular reviews turn a "marketing expense" into a strategic business asset. Here is why they are essential.

 With the rapid rollout of AI Overviews, search results can shift overnight.

• The Value: Regular reviews allow us to spot a drop in traffic immediately.
• The Pitch: If we only look at the data once a year, we might spend six months heading in the wrong direction. Monthly reviews ensure we are always aligned with how Google wants to see your business.

A report might show that a specific blog post is getting 500 hits a month. A review asks: Are any of those 500 people calling the office?

• The Value: As a copywriter, I use these reviews to see which hooks are working. If a page about "Plumbing repair in Middlefield" has high traffic but low calls, we know we need to rewrite the Call to Action.
• The Result: We stop chasing traffic and start chasing revenue.

Your competitors aren't sitting still. They are also hiring SEOs and updating their profiles.

• The Value: If a new competitor pops up in the Local Map Pack, a monthly review allows us to analyze their strategy and counter-move before they steal your market share.
• The Pitch: SEO is a race with no finish line. If you stop looking at the leaderboard, you won't notice when someone is about to pass you.

Small businesses live and die by the calendar. A landscaper needs different keywords in March than they do in November.

• The Value: Regular reviews allow us to pivot content and keywords 30–60 days before a season starts.
• The Strategy: We look at the reports to see when "Snow Plowing in Mentor" searches started picking up last year, so we can have your optimized content ready this year.

For many small business owners, SEO feels like a black box.

• The Value: A regular review session is where the SEO/Copywriter proves their worth. It’s an opportunity to show that for every dollar spent, the business is getting X amount of visibility and Y amount of leads.
• The Relationship: It turns the service provider into a partner who understands the business's goals, not just a line item on a bank statement.
