If you own a local service business — HVAC, plumbing, dental, roofing, auto, legal — you’ve heard it: “We’ll rank you number one or your money back.” There is no honest #1 guarantee in SEO. Google does not sell position one. Agencies that promise it are lying to you.
A #1 ranking they cannot control — and a refund clause written so you never collect.
We don’t do refunds. We work our ass off. If you’re not on top of Google by the written targets, we keep working for free until you are. That’s the guarantee.
Enroll by Halloween. “On top” means the Covered Terms we put in writing — Map Pack and page 1 — not every keyword on earth. See terms.
The Halloween enrollment window is closed. You can still book a strategy call — month-to-month local SEO is open year-round, without this work-until-you’re-on-top wrapper.
These are composite snapshots of the conversations we have with service-business owners — HVAC, trades, clinics, shops — after Maps, pages, and follow-up are actually running. Individual results vary. Nothing here is a promise of a specific lead count.
“We were losing the Map Pack to a national brand with a worse reputation. Six weeks after the listing cleanup and review cadence, our dispatch board filled up on the searches we actually care about — emergency and same-day.”
“I was buying $8k a month in ads and still missing calls. They rewrote the money pages, put click-to-call on mobile, and made us answer in minutes. Organic calls finally showed up on the report next to the ads.”
“Our old ‘SEO guy’ published 40 blogs that never mentioned drain cleaning. One service page plus honest hours on Google did more for weekend jobs than a year of that.”
“Storm season used to mean panic-buying clicks. This year the listing photos, Q&A, and review replies were already in place. We weren’t cheaper. We were the ones people could verify.”
“I’m not a marketing person. Other guys promised #1 and vanished. These guys said they don’t do refunds — they just keep working. That was the first honest pitch I believed.”
“ChatGPT started mentioning us after the FAQs and consistent NAP. I still don’t fully get ‘GEO.’ I do get the extra consults that never showed as a Google click.”
Short, specific, local. That’s the bar. If a review couldn’t be left by a real operator in your trade, we wouldn’t put it on this page.
“Showed us the Map Pack competitors, then the gaps. No mystery. Weekly photos and review asks were the unsexy part that actually moved us.”
“They refused to keyword-stuff our Google name. I was annoyed. Then I saw the listing didn’t get suspended. Trust that.”
“Took longer than I wanted on a brutal keyword. They didn’t hide it. The 90-day writeup was clear about what was in-scope vs. vanity terms.”
“Our site was pretty and slow. They made it boring and fast. Booked-job rate from organic went up. That’s the only metric I kept.”
Built for owners who sell jobs in a service area: Google Business Profile, money pages, reviews, conversion, and content AI systems can cite. We will not promise you “#1 on every search.” We will keep doing the work until the written ranking outcome is met — at no extra monthly fee if it takes longer than 90 days. Read the Fall 2026 sprint for the operating cadence.
Categories, services, hours, photos, Q&A, posts, and a review engine. Emergency and “near me” intent is won here first.
One URL per service people pay for. H1, proof, click-to-call, city-honest copy. Linked from your industry hub so equity isn’t trapped.
Clear entities, FAQs, consistent NAP, and pages an overview can quote. We do not “guarantee #1 in ChatGPT.” We make you citable.
Rankings without a answered phone are a report. Speed-to-lead, mobile CTAs, call tracking, and a simple CRM path.
Other agencies will still sell you a #1 guarantee this week. We will tell you the truth on a 20-minute call — and attach the work-free-until-you’re-on-top terms if you qualify.
Book your free strategy callBecause nobody can. Google does not sell rank. Anyone who guarantees you number one for “whatever you want” is lying — and the contract is usually written so you never get the refund anyway. We tell you that up front.
You pay for the first 90 days like a normal engagement. We work hard on your Maps listing, money pages, and reviews. If you’re not on top of Google for the Covered Terms we put in the 90-Day Brief, we keep working for free (no further monthly SEO fee) until you are. We do not refund the months already billed. Terms define “on top.”
Your Google Business Profile in the Map Pack (top 3) for at least two of three geo-modified Covered Terms, measured from the agreed ZIP — or page 1 (organic 1–10 or Map Pack) for any non-branded term. Either result means the job is done and complimentary work ends. Your exact business name does not count as that term.
We only take a limited number of “work until you’re on top” seats per quarter. Enrollment for this window closes October 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. After that, local SEO continues month-to-month without this wrapper.
Home services convert fastest on Maps, but dentists, gyms, salons, vets, law firms, and other local services qualify if customers search locally and you can take calls. National ecommerce brands are not a fit.
No lock-in to stay after the work is done. Plans start from $1,495/month while you’re on a paid cycle. Complimentary work after day 90 is the same local SEO scope — not ads, not a custom rebuild — until the Done Condition in the terms.
Composite owner comments on this page are illustrative of typical local-service engagements. They are not independent third-party reviews of named companies. Guarantee Terms control if anything on this page conflicts.
Other companies guarantee #1. That is not possible to promise honestly. 360 Nerds does not refund fees. Our guarantee is labor: we keep working at no further monthly SEO fee until the Done Condition below is met. The signed 90-Day Brief controls if there is a conflict.
Not a guarantee of leads, revenue, or #1 for every keyword. Individual results vary. Halloween enrollment ends October 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern. After that date this seasonal wrapper is closed even if this page stays up.
