Stop doing SEO immediately
I'm serious. Here's what to do instead...
SEO is Dead (And Other Lies Your Competitors Want You to Believe)
I'm so tired of hearing it.
"SEO is dead." "AI killed search." "Nobody uses Google anymore."
Let Me Show You What "Dead" Looks Like:
Pest Control: 878 Calls in 4 months

House Cleaning: 113 Calls in 2 months

Roofing: 113 Calls in 2 months

Dead? This looks pretty alive to me.
The Real Reason Your Competitors Say SEO Is Dead
They want you to believe it.
While you're debating whether SEO works, they're ranking #1 and taking those 878 calls.
Smart move, honestly.
Look at Those Trend Lines
Notice something? They all go UP.
That's not luck. That's compound growth.
Six months from now, these numbers will look small.
Here's the Bottom Line
The top 3 spots on Google get 80% of all clicks.
If you're not there, you're invisible.
Every day you wait, your competitors build a bigger lead.
Those 878 calls? They could have been yours.
The businesses ranking #1 aren't smarter than you.
They just started before you did.
How much longer will you let them have all the leads?

One of the most authentic recommendations I can give to anyone else in the home service space is the Stryker team for SEO.
Book a call with them if you want to rank online better than your competitors. It’s that simple.
They genuinely care about your success and they’re good
