Marketing Port Alberni

The only few things you need to know about marketing.

Somebody in Nanaimo just searched "plumber near me". They're calling one of the first three names on the map.
If that isn't you, your competitor gets the customer. And you never even find out it existed.

Free personal Loom video, recorded by me. Where you rank, why the guy above you is there, and what it takes to pass him. No sales deck. No 45-minute call.

The problem

Why your phone's quiet.

You do good work. Your reviews say so.
The problem is the guy two towns over shows up first.

Nobody can find you

Someone searches "auto repair Port Alberni" and gets three names. You're #12. That's page two.

Page two is a graveyard.

Your competitor gets your calls

He isn't better than you. He just shows up first. So he gets the call, the customer and the five-star review that should've been yours.

Feast or famine

Slammed in June. Dead in November. When your spot on Google moves, your schedule moves right along with it.

How it works

Four steps to Google's Top 3.

No mystery. No 40-page report you'll never read. Just the stuff that moves you up on Google, done every month.

  1. 1

    Audit & ranking check

    I map where you rank across your whole service area, not just from your shop's parking lot. Then I find what's keeping you out of the Top 3.

  2. 2

    Fix your Google Business Profile

    Categories, services, real photos, hours, reviews. Most owners list five services. The guys on top list closer to thirty.

  3. 3

    Build local ranking signals

    Service pages, town pages, directory listings and a steady trickle of reviews. Google wants proof you actually work here.

  4. 4

    Track & maintain

    A heat map every month showing where you rank across your area. You don't get a black belt for showing up once.

Yes, that's me holding Google. It's lighter than it looks.

Meet Austin

You deal with me, directly.

I'm Austin Wallin. One-man agency out of Port Alberni, working with local businesses all over BC.

No account manager. No junior who got your file on his second day. I do the work myself: your Google profile, your service pages, your listings, your monthly heat maps.

When you call, I pick up.

I live here, and your customers are my neighbours. I named it Blessed Marketing Results because I'm grateful I get to do this work. I'd like your phone to be a little busier because of it.

This isn't for everyone.

  • You let the phone ring out. I can get you the call. I can't answer it for you.
  • You won't touch your Google profile, your photos or your website. Ever.
  • You're fine with the other guy keeping Google's Top 3.

Want steady local calls, and willing to snap a few photos of your work each week? We'll get along great.

FAQ

Stuff people ask me.

How does a top 3 ranking help my business?

Search "cabin rental Ucluelet" on your phone. You get a map and three businesses. That's the whole first screen.

That's where the calls, the direction requests and the website clicks go. Hardly anybody scrolls past it.

Get in there and your phone gets busier. Sit at #9 and you're invisible to the people ready to hire today.

How long does it take to reach the top 3?

30 to 90 days for most of my clients.

FTP Services in Parksville went from #9 to the top 3 for "auto repair Parksville" in 30 days. That was fast, and Jay earned it: he asked every customer for a review and sent photos every single week.

A crowded town or a messy profile takes longer. I count a move once it holds for two or three scans in a row, so neither of us gets excited over a fluke.

What do I need to get started?

A Google Business Profile, the towns you serve and a phone with a camera.

You add me as a manager on your profile from my own Google account. You stay the owner. No profile yet, or stuck in verification limbo? I'll walk you through it.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

Nope. No long-term contracts.

You stay because the phone's ringing. If it isn't, you shouldn't be paying me.

What does "one business per industry per town" mean?

Once you're in, I won't take on your direct competitor in the same town.

There are only three spots on that map. I'm not going to fight myself for them.

How much do Google Ads cost per click?

It depends on your industry, your town and how many competitors are bidding. A plumber in Langley and a cabin rental in Port Alberni pay very different prices for the same click. On your free visibility check, I'll pull the real numbers for your area so you know what you're getting into before you spend a dollar.

How do I get started?

Hit the free visibility check button. Takes two minutes.

I'll send you a short Loom video: where you rank across your town, who's beating you and why, and what I'd fix first. If it makes sense to work together, we talk. If it doesn't, you keep the video.
