What We Actually Do.

01.

Get Found

Show up first on Google and Google Maps when customers nearby are searching for what you do.

02.

Websites That Convert

Fast, mobile-friendly sites built to turn visitors into calls, not a brochure that just sits there.

03.

Social That Sells

Content and campaigns that turn followers into paying customers, not just likes and views.

04.

Ads That Pay For Themselves

Google and Facebook campaigns built around ROI. Every dollar has to earn its keep.

I've Run The Crew.
I've Run The Business.

Before lead engines, I was in the trades: construction, framing, plumbing, roofing, even managing a diesel big rig repair shop. I know what it takes to get your hands dirty, run a crew, and keep a business running.

In 2016 I started my own residential cleaning business, House Keep Up, here in Chicago. I got tired of renting leads from third-party platforms, so I learned how to own my traffic instead, and scaled it to the top of local search.

"Stop renting leads. Start owning your market."

Now I build that same lead engine for other local service businesses. No theory, no agency fluff, just what actually worked for my own company.

Case Study: House Keep Up, Chicago

"Most businesses don't lose because they're bad. They lose because nobody sees them."

House Keep Up, the cleaning business Wes started and grew himself, was buried on page 5 of Google. We rebuilt how it showed up on Google and Google Maps. No extra ad spend, just visibility. Booked jobs went up 5x.

Reviews

5.0 Rating From Real Clients.

We were spending $8K a month on Google Ads just to stay visible. Six months after working with NES, our organic traffic brought in enough leads that we cut our ad spend in half. Best ROI we've ever seen.

How It Works

From First Call
to Going Live.

No jargon, no long contracts. Here's exactly what happens once you reach out.

01

A Chill Meeting

No sales pitch, no jargon. We hop on a quick call, you tell us what's going on with your business, and we figure out together if we're the right fit. No pressure either way.

02

The Audit

We dig into your current site, your Google Business Profile, and your reviews, and show you exactly where you're losing jobs to competitors who show up first.

03

The Proposal

You get a straight-up plan: what we'd build, what it costs, and what it should do for your business. No fine print, no surprise fees, no long-term contracts.

04

Deployment

We build it, launch it, and make sure it's actually bringing in calls before we call it done. Then we stick around to keep it running.

Our Software

You don't have one Google rank. You have hundreds.

Google decides local results partly on how far the searcher is standing from your address. So the rank you see from your own office is the best number you will ever see. Three blocks away, closer to a competitor, you might not be on the map at all.

That is the gap where the calls quietly go. We built ScoutMyBusiness to show it to you.

  • Scan your whole service area on a grid and see your Google Maps rank block by block
  • Pull the full top 20 at any point to see exactly who is outranking you, and where
  • Re-scan on a schedule so you can prove last month's work actually moved something
Scan Your Business Free First scan is free · no card needed · results in minutes
Top 3 4–10 Below 10 Not found

A 49-point scan of one keyword across a single service area. The same business is #1 downtown and invisible on the western edge — a single rank number reports only one of those.
