You Should Be Ranking — But You're Not

You’ve built a good business. You deliver quality work. But when customers search in Google, your competitors show up and you don’t. You haven’t invested in SEO strategically — and you’re not exactly sure what it takes to rank.

You want to dominate the Local 3-Pack that drives predicatable revenue.

As a local service-based business owner, you need predictable leads for consistent growth, but not investing strategically in SEO is causing you to fall behind competitors. What you want is to show up when buyers are searching, but…

You're not appearing in the Local 3-Pack for important keywords.

Your competitors are showing up above you in Google.

You haven't built the authority signals Google requires.

Your website isn't optimized ot convert visitors into leads.

You're relying too heavily on referrals instead of predictable marketing.

We understand how frustrating it feels to know you should be ranking, but still feel behind in your market.

We believe if you run a great business, you deserve to be found online!

CASE STUDY: Adrette Window Coverings

From Invisible

To Seen

From Invisible to In-Demand in Portland, Oregon

Adrette Custom Window Coverings had invested heavily in SEO for years, and their national SEO strategy was driving thousands of visitors to their website every month—but very few of those visitors were from the local Portland area, where their ideal customers live and shop.

That’s when they reached out to StoryWorks.

After conducting a Total Online Presence Audit, we uncovered two critical issues:

Their Google Business Profile wasn’t set up correctly to be seen or attract and convert local traffic.
Technical problems in the back end of their website were blocking Google’s search bots from properly indexing their pages.

These two issues alone were causing them to be invisible in local search results and only showing for 1 keyword.

We got to work, corrected the technical issues and fully optimized their Google Business Profile to work in harmony with their Local SEO strategy. The results? Adrette now appears in the “Local 3-Pack” (also known as the Local Stack) for 23 of their 25 targeted keywords.

And those last 2 keywords? We’re coming for them.

Thanks to enhanced local visibility, Adrette is now attracting the right kind of traffic—local customers who are ready to buy. It’s the visibility boost they needed to grow their business right in their own backyard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is the Authority Foundation?

The Authority Foundation is a 90-day strategic build-out of the core elements Google requires before consistently ranking a business in the Local 3-Pack. It installs keyword alignment, category optimization, citations, technical SEO corrections, review systems, and structured authority signals so your visibility becomes predictable instead of random.

How is this different from “regular SEO”?

Most SEO services focus on tactics without installing foundational structure. The Authority Foundation begins with strategy — aligning keywords, competitors, categories, authority signals, and technical structure — so Google clearly understands who you are and when to rank you. It’s architecture first, tactics second.

How long does it take to see results?

Many businesses begin seeing ranking movement during the 90-day build phase. However, timing depends on your market competitiveness, existing authority, and how far behind your competitors are. The Authority Foundation is designed to create measurable movement, not vague activity.

Is this a one-time setup or ongoing work?

Phase 1 installs the foundation properly. Once installed, you can maintain it or expand it. Ranking is competitive, so most businesses choose to continue into Phase 2 Growth Plans to build on their momentum and increase market share.

What if I’ve already paid for SEO before?

That’s common. Many business owners have invested in “SEO” without understanding what was actually being done. The Authority Foundation clarifies the structure behind ranking and installs missing components most previous providers never addressed.

Will this guarantee I rank #1?

No ethical SEO provider can guarantee a specific ranking position. What we can guarantee is that your authority structure, keyword alignment, and visibility signals will be strategically installed according to what Google is actually rewarding in your market.

Do I need a new website for this to work?

Not necessarily. Many websites simply need structural correction, keyword alignment, and technical adjustments rather than a full rebuild. If a rebuild is necessary, we’ll identify that early and explain why.

What happens if my competitors are already ahead of me?

That’s exactly why competitor reverse-engineering is part of the Authority Foundation. We analyze what Google is rewarding in your market and strategically close the gap rather than guessing.

How much time will this require from me?

Minimal. We handle research, technical corrections, citations, and structure. You’ll participate in strategy sessions and provide clarification when needed, but the heavy lifting is done for you.

Why does Phase 2 exist if Phase 1 installs everything?

Phase 1 installs the foundation correctly. Phase 2 compounds authority, expands keyword footprint, builds additional content depth, and strengthens competitive positioning. The foundation makes growth possible — expansion makes dominance possible.
