What is inside
Five zones, 25 yes-or-no checks, and the fix for every one
The checklist follows the path a customer takes, from the first Google search to the first phone call. Every check shows why it matters, what to do, how long it takes, what it costs, and how much it moves the needle.
- Zone 16 checks
Google Search and Maps
Category, hours, photos, reviews, name-address-phone consistency, and whether you show in the map pack in every town you want work from.
- Zone 26 checks
Your Website
Load speed on a phone, the five-second homepage test, click-to-call, a short quote form, visible proof, and owning your own accounts.
- Zone 35 checks
Paid Ads
Conversion tracking, the location setting that bills you for out-of-state clicks, ad-to-page match, cost per booked job, and retargeting.
- Zone 45 checks
Follow-Up and Conversion
Five-minute response, missed-call text back, one lead list with a next step for every lead, lead source, and past-customer follow-up.
- Zone 53 checks
AI Search
Whether ChatGPT and Google AI recommend you, plain-language service pages with schema, and mentions on sites other than your own.

"Think Creative immediately brought a level of professionalism you'd expect along with great insight, direction, and a desire to learn our business model. Within a week, the team fired up our marketing and we couldn't be more pleased! I also appreciated their insight in the digital space and the direction they gave us based on our needs today. I highly recommend a phone call to Think Creative even if you are currently working with another agency."
