See Exactly How You Get Found, Chosen, and Booked

Start with Front Desk, $499 a month with no setup fee, so the calls you already get stop going to voicemail. Add Local Authority at $999 a month to make the phone ring more. Add Ad Accelerator at $2,500 a month plus ad spend to buy the top of Google this week. Explore how they work below.

How it works, in order

Answer it. Rank for it. Buy the top.

Three products, and the order matters. Front Desk first, because the calls you already miss are the cheapest jobs you will ever win back. Local Authority makes the phone ring more. Ad Accelerator buys the top of Google while the ranking builds. Run one, two, or all three.

1. Front Desk, $499/mo

Answer the calls you already get, starting today

  • AI voice answering on every missed and after-hours call
  • Missed-call text-back in under 60 seconds, in your business name
  • 5-touch follow-up over 7 days on anyone who does not reply, then it stops
  • Review requests after every job, good ones routed to Google
  • Keep your own number. Forward on no-answer only, reversible in 30 seconds

Calls, clicks, and direction requests feed behavioral signals (9%) back into your ranking. A missed lead costs twice: the job, and the signal Google would have counted. Call answering is live within hours. Text messaging takes 1 to 3 weeks because US carriers require A2P 10DLC registration and it cannot be expedited.

2. Local Authority, $999/mo

Make the phone ring more often, month after month

  • Multi-page website, hosting, domain, and business email
  • Google Business Profile claimed, optimized, and managed
  • Listings across 20+ directories and ongoing local SEO
  • Weekly Google posts, review monitoring and responses
  • Local link building, new pages monthly, weekly rank tracking

Google Business Profile signals (32%) and citation consistency (6%) are the two biggest single levers in the 2026 Whitespark local ranking factor survey, roughly 38% combined. Review signals add roughly 20% more. Local Authority covers all of it, then keeps posting and building links on top.

3. Ad Accelerator, $2,500/mo

Buy the top of Google while the ranking compounds underneath

  • Google call ads built and managed for your trade
  • You keep your own ad account and pay Google direct
  • Calls this week, not months from now
  • Right for launches, new cities, or outspending a rival
  • Requires Front Desk ($499/mo), flat fee, no percentage of spend

Ranking is the compounding lane and it takes months. Paid call ads are the fast lane and they start this week. Ad Accelerator requires Front Desk, because paying for clicks that ring an unanswered phone wastes your money. That is $2,999 a month all in, plus the ad spend Google bills you directly.

Why the full system beats a partial one

Local Authority turns all of it on at once:

  • Links and content compound. A page published this month is still working for you in month twelve, so the whole system runs from day one.
  • Reviews, weekly posts, link building, and content all run together instead of being split across plans you upgrade into.
  • Missed calls and unanswered texts cost jobs today. Front Desk ($499/mo) catches every one from week one.
  • One price for the ranking system, no setup fee. Front Desk is separate at $499 a month.
