Featured collection · Local search, connected

Helping Monterey Bay businesses be found.

Four local businesses, different starting points: profile recovery, better websites and the local connections that support Google and AI search visibility.

The common thread

Make the business
easier to understand.

A website is one part of a local business’s presence. Its Google Business Profile, reviews and relevant local connections need to tell the same story.

These projects involved different obstacles: duplicate or suspended profiles, no website, a platform that needed replacing or limits on what could change. We addressed the actual problem, then built the supporting connections.

Four starting points

A shared method.
Not a one-size-fits-all fix.

01

Moss Landing · Monterey Bay

Blue Knuckles Sport Fishing

Visit the client website

The starting point. Two duplicate Google Business Profiles were suspended. The charter had been categorized as a pinned location rather than a service-area business, and one profile held reviews the owner wanted to retain.

The work. We worked through combining and verifying the profiles, rebuilt the Wix website on WordPress and developed local citations across YouTube, chamber and relevant geographic and topical profiles.

The outcome. The business recovered its presence and moved from no visibility to top results in Google Search and AI Overviews.

02

Monterey Peninsula

Perfectly Balanced Pool & Spa Services

Visit the client website

The starting point. Duplicate suspended profiles left the pool-care business hard to find. There was no website to support the business information.

The work. We followed the profile recovery and verification process, created a simple single-page website and built relevant supporting profiles and citations.

The outcome. A verified business presence, a first website and stronger search visibility following the work.

03

Carmel · Pebble Beach

Gina Taro Photography

Visit the client website

The starting point. Website changes were limited, so search work had to reach beyond the site. Unlike the other projects, this was not a Google Business Profile suspension case.

The work. Citations, review assistance, YouTube, chamber and relevant local and topical profiles supplied a more consistent body of evidence around Gina’s business.

The outcome. A stronger local-search foundation within the existing website’s constraints. The photography and website design remain Gina’s work and that of her existing providers.

Marina · Monterey County

Monterey DJ

Visit the client website

The starting point. A single suspended Google Business Profile interrupted the DJ business’s local presence.

The work. We addressed the suspension, created a more developed website and connected the business to relevant profiles and citations using the same local-search approach.

The outcome. A recovered business presence and improved search visibility, supported by a clearer website and local connections.
