1. What exactly does 8-Ball Consulting do?

I help small businesses get out from behind the 8-ball by improving their visibility, credibility, authenticity, and availability online.
That includes SEO, online reputation management, website improvements, content strategy, review generation, AI-search optimization, and tactical marketing that actually drives leads — not vanity metrics.

2. Who do you work with?

Any small business that needs help. Whether you're just getting started or you've been around for years, if you want more visibility, better reviews, and more consistent leads, I can help you get there.

3. What makes your approach different?

I combine traditional SEO + AI-search optimization + online reputation management into one “Search Everywhere Optimization” system.
I’m hands-on, extremely meticulous, and tailor every plan to the business — no cookie-cutter templates, no useless deliverables, and no smoke-and-mirrors agency nonsense.
I focus on evidence (reviews, content, case studies), not gimmicks.

4. What do your services cost?

Every business is different, so pricing depends on the plan you choose and how much work is needed.
But here’s the simple version:

• Entry-level plans for businesses with a basic foundation

• Mid-tier plans for businesses needing SEO + review strategy + content

• Full-scale plans for businesses needing everything built from the ground up
  And depending on your plan, you may receive my services free through the end of 2025.

5. Do you offer month-to-month or long-term contracts?

I keep things simple and transparent.
Most plans run month-to-month, and we reassess at the end of 2025 to figure out the best path forward for 2026.
No long-term traps. Just results.

6. How long before I see results?

It depends on the starting point.
Most clients see noticeable improvements in 90–120 days, especially with reviews, local visibility, and AI-search presence.
SEO and trust-building are compounding — the earlier you start, the faster everything accelerates.

7. Can you help with reviews?

Absolutely — reviews are lead source #1 for small businesses today.
I help you:

• Gain more reviews

• Remove friction for customers

• Build authority on Google

• Turn reviews into marketing assets

• Show up stronger in Google Maps, Local Pack, and AI search

8. What is “Search Everywhere Optimization”?

It’s my four-part system built for 2025 and beyond:
Visibility → Credibility → Authenticity → Availability.
Traditional SEO alone isn’t enough anymore — customers check 7–12 touchpoints before choosing you.
I make sure your business shows up consistently and confidently across all of them.

9. Do you build websites?

Yes — I build clean, fast, conversion-focused websites with clear messaging and SEO baked in from the start.
But if you already have a site, I can optimize and upgrade what you’ve got.

10. Can you help me with social media or other advertising?

Yes — I can help with social media (short-form video strategy), and targeted ads on social media for lead generation. I also have significant experience buying traditional media (TV and radio), and OTT targeted media advertising.
But I never sell “content for content’s sake.” If it doesn’t help you get leads, we don’t waste time on it.

11. What does the onboarding process look like?

Simple and painless:

1. A strategy call

2. Deep-dive audit of your online presence

3. Customized plan of attack

4. Execution begins within 7 days

You’ll always know what I’m doing and why.
