About

Your customers are searching.
Can they find you?

Every day, people in Bryan, Defiance and Toledo search Google for exactly what you offer. Most of them never find you — not because you're not good enough, but because nobody set up your online presence properly. That's the problem we fix.

The problem is real — and it's not your fault.

You're running a business. You're serving customers, managing employees, handling the work. Nobody handed you a manual for local SEO, Google Business Profiles, or AI search. And the people who were supposed to help? They either charged too much, delivered too little, or disappeared after the first invoice.

Meanwhile your competitors — some of them less experienced than you — are showing up on Google Maps because someone set their foundation right. And you're invisible.

 

"I know this problem firsthand. My own Google Business Profile was suspended. My citations were a mess. Nicheworks — a business I'd been running for 17 years — was invisible online. I had to fix my own house before I could help anyone else fix theirs."

Local SEO Services For Small Businesses

Les Proctor — your guide, not the hero

17+ years helping small businesses get found, get trusted, and get customers. Based in Ney, Ohio — serving Defiance, Bryan, Toledo, and beyond. I've been in the trenches, fixed my own mess, and built a system that works.

I'm not here to impress you with jargon or sell you a package you don't need. I'm here because I genuinely believe small businesses are the backbone of communities like ours — and they deserve the same visibility that national chains take for granted.

You're the hero of this story. I'm just the guide who knows the path.

The plan — three steps, no surprises.

  • Step 1 — Free audit We show you exactly where you stand — GBP, citations, AI visibility, local rankings. Honest, specific, no obligation.
  • Step 2 — Fix the foundation We clean up your citations, optimize your GBP, and make sure every AI assistant and directory agrees on who you are.
  • Step 3 — Grow your niche With the foundation solid, we build your authority — website, content, reviews, and AI search visibility — month by month.
