The Problem We Eliminate
Running a local business is hard enough without throwing money at marketing that doesn’t work.
Here’s what we fix:
Invisible on Google Maps
Your competitors occupy the Map Pack while you're buried on page two-or missing entirely.
Wasted ad spend
Wasted ad spend on Google/Facebook ads with weak tracking, targeting, and low-converting pages.
Inconsistent lead flow
Some months you're swamped; others you're scrambling to fill the schedule.
Poor online reputation
Negative reviews sit unanswered, or you have too few reviews to build trust with new customers.
No idea what's working
No idea what’s working without a dashboard, clear KPIs, or a link between marketing and revenue.
Locked into bad contracts
Locked into bad contracts for “SEO” or social media with no results, no clarity, and long commitments.
The real cost? Every day you’re invisible in local search is a day customers choose someone else. Rising customer acquisition costs, empty appointment slots, and a phone that doesn’t ring enough to hit your revenue goals.
Here’s how we solve it: Skylift Marketing combines Local SEO, Google My Business optimization, targeted Google Ads, and reputation management into one system designed to make your business the obvious choice in your market. You get a live dashboard, clear KPIs, and the freedom to cancel anytime after the first 30 days.
Our Online Business Marketing Solution
Skylift’s local business marketing isn’t a cookie-cutter template. We start with research: what are people in your area actually searching for? Where are your competitors ranking? What’s your current visibility on Google Maps, organic search, and paid channels? Then we build a strategy around high-intent local keywords, conversion-optimized landing pages, and multi-channel campaigns (SEO, GMB, ads, reviews, social) that work together to drive calls, form fills, and foot traffic.
We’re measurement-obsessed. Every campaign gets conversion tracking, call tracking, and a live dashboard so you can see leads, costs, and ROI in real time. And because we know local markets shift—seasonality, new competitors, algorithm updates—we treat optimization as ongoing, not “set and forget.”
What you get:
- Predictable local lead flow
Consistent calls, bookings, and walk-ins month over month.
- Map Pack dominance
Show up in the Google Local Pack (the top 3 map results) for your most valuable search terms.
- Lower cost per lead
Tighter targeting, better ad copy, optimized landing pages, and negative keyword management.
- Higher conversion rates
Landing pages and GMB profiles built to turn clicks into customers.
- Transparent, real-time reporting
Live dashboards, weekly summaries, and monthly strategy reviews—no black-box guessing.

Who We’re Best For
Perfect fit for
- Own or manage a local business (retail, restaurant, healthcare, home services, professional services, fitness, automotive, etc.) and want predictable lead flow.
- Have a realistic monthly budget for ads and management (at least $1,200–$2,000 total to start seeing meaningful results).
- Are willing to test, iterate, and give campaigns 60–90 days to optimize before major pivots.
- Value transparency: you want to see exactly where your money goes and what results you’re getting.
- Need help but don’t have time to become a marketing expert—you want a partner who handles strategy, execution, and reporting.
Not the right fit if
- Have no budget for traffic generation (organic-only SEO with zero ad spend can work, but takes 6–12 months to build momentum).
- Have no budget for traffic generation (organic-only SEO with zero ad spend can work, but takes 6–12 months to build momentum).
- Refuse to implement conversion tracking, call tracking, or optimized landing pages (we can’t improve what we can’t measure).
- Want to stay locked into a long-term contract with another agency and aren’t willing to transition (we’re month-to-month, but we need the freedom to execute our strategy).
- Are looking for “set it, forget it” with no collaboration; local marketing requires some input (photos, promotions, answer review responses, etc.).
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions about which plan fits you best? Whether you want to see results from your industry, understand how our guarantees work, or simply talk through your goals — we’re here to help.
How long until I see results from local business marketing?
Google Ads and Meta Ads can generate leads within days of launch. Local SEO and Map Pack rankings typically show measurable movement in 30–60 days, with compounding gains over 3–6 months. The timeline depends on your current online presence, competition, and budget.
What's the difference between Local SEO and regular SEO?
Local SEO focuses on geo-modified keywords (“plumber near me,” “best pizza in Brooklyn”), Google Business Profile optimization, local citations (NAP consistency), and Map Pack rankings. Regular SEO targets broader, often national keywords. For most local businesses, Local SEO delivers faster, more profitable results.
How much should I budget for local business marketing?
A practical starting point is $1,200–$2,000/month total: $800–$1,500 for ad spend (Google + Meta) and $400–$600 for management, citations, and tools. Larger or more competitive markets may require $3,000–$5,000+/month to dominate.
Do I own my Google Ads account and all the creatives you build?
Yes. We set up campaigns in your Google Ads account (you retain ownership and billing). All ad copy, landing pages, and creative assets belong to you. If you ever leave, you keep everything.
What if I'm already working with another agency or locked into contract?
We’re month-to-month, so there’s no long-term risk once your current contract ends. In the meantime, we can run a free audit and build a transition roadmap so you’re ready to switch when the time is right.
How do you track leads and prove ROI?
We install conversion tracking (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads conversion tags, Meta Pixel) and call tracking (unique phone numbers that attribute calls to specific campaigns and keywords). You’ll see every lead source, cost per lead, and conversion rate in your live dashboard.
Can you help my business show up in the Google Map Pack (top 3)?
Yes. Map Pack optimization is core to our local business marketing. We optimize your Google Business Profile, build and clean citations, earn local backlinks, encourage reviews, publish regular GMB posts, and use schema markup. Most clients see Map Pack visibility within 30–90 days for their primary keywords. Learn more: Google My Business Optimization.
What industries do you work with?
We’ve run successful local campaigns for restaurants, retail stores, salons and spas, dentists and healthcare providers, law firms, accounting and financial services, home services (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning), automotive (repair, detailing, dealerships), fitness studios, and more. Our process adapts to any local business that depends on phone calls, appointments, or foot traffic.
How do you handle reviews and reputation management?
We set up automated review request workflows (SMS or email after purchase/appointment), monitor all major platforms (Google, Yelp, Facebook), provide response templates for positive and negative reviews, and give you a reputation dashboard. Consistent 5-star reviews boost Map Pack rankings and conversion rates.
Do you offer services for multi-location businesses?
Absolutely. Our Lead Dominator package is built for franchises and multi-location brands. We create individual GMB profiles for each location, build location-specific landing pages, manage citations at scale, and run geo-targeted ad campaigns with location extensions.
What's your reporting cadence?
You get 24/7 access to a live dashboard. We send weekly snapshot emails (key metrics, spend, leads) and hold bi-weekly or monthly deep-dive calls to review performance, discuss tests, and plan next steps.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. After the first 30 days, you can cancel anytime with no penalty or long-term commitment. We earn your business every month.
What happens if the leads aren't high quality?
We define “qualified lead” criteria with you upfront (service area, service type, budget range). If lead quality is off, we adjust keyword negatives, tighten geo-targeting, refine ad copy, and update landing page messaging. Continuous optimization is part of the process—we don’t just “set and forget.”
