Let’s Build the Right Plan for Your Business
No two businesses are the same — and neither are their marketing challenges. At 8-Ball Consulting, I build custom strategies based on where you are and where you want to go.
That means pricing depends on things like your goals, location(s), competition, and how much of the “Search Everywhere” lift you want me to handle.
If you’re ready to get out from behind the 8-Ball, let’s start with a free audit. I’ll show you what it would take to boost your visibility, credibility, and reputation — and give you a custom quote from there.
SEO - Search Everywhere Optimization
Why do listings and reviews matter more than ever? The answer is SEO, Search Everywhere Optimization. Customers don’t just find you on Google. They’re checking Apple Maps, Yelp, Bing, Facebook, and even asking their Amazon Alexa (best chiropractors near me?) — and if your listings aren’t accurate and active, you lose trust and visibility instantly. 8-Ball saves you time and ensures your profiles and reviews fuel both visibility and credibility, so you show up where it matters — including AI search and Voice Search.
When your business information is consistent across major directories — like Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp, Facebook, Yellow Pages, and the BBB — you create a foundation of trust. Customers rely on these platforms to decide who to call, and AI tools like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Mode, Perplexity, and Gemini pull from them when recommending businesses.
That’s where 8-Ball comes in. I handle the details: optimizing listings, keeping them up to date, ensuring detailed 5-star reviews are coming in, and both negative and positive reviews are managed professionally. The result? Stronger trust signals, better local rankings, and more visibility when people search online.
Instead of spending hours trying to manage listings yourself, I save you time and use proven strategies to make your profiles work harder for your business. You don't just want to be found. You want to be everywhere your customers are searching, and everywhere AI learns.
By optimizing listings, keeping them up to date,
and ensuring detailed 5-star reviews are coming in and managed professionally -
will lead to stronger trust signals, better local rankings, and more visibility when people search anywhere online.
🎱 Notes
Multi-location support
If your business has more than one location, I’ve got you covered. The first location is full price, and each additional location is just 40% of the base rate.
Exclusivity you can count on
I only work with one business per industry per ZIP code, ensuring there’s never a conflict of interest with your direct local competitors.
↘️ Bottom Line
AI Search is changing the game
I save you time, build your online credibility, and ensure that when people search — whether on Google’s AI, ChatGPT, another AI tool, or Voice Search — you don’t just appear, you appear as the trusted choice.
