For Local Service Businesses

Free Google Maps Check

Built for plumbing, HVAC and tree service companies, and any local business that gets its calls from Google.

When someone in your town searches for what you do, Google shows three companies at the top of the map. I’ll check whether you’re one of them in each town you serve. When you’re not, your report shows who is, with their review counts next to yours. You get a private link within 24 hours, and it’s free.

New Research · Founder-led Brands

The Invisible Founder

Over the past few days, I’ve shared research on the three ways founders are being systematically erased.

Post 1 — Organic Reach Collapse

Instagram went from 10–15% reach in 2020 to 2–3% today. Facebook pages with 10K followers reach 137 people per post.

Post 2 — The Paid Media Trap

iOS 14 broke targeting. ROAS dropped 38% overnight. Costs doubled or tripled. Can’t stop paying because organic is dead. Can’t sustain paying because costs keep rising.

Post 3 — The Attribution Crisis

AI Overviews appear in 80% of search queries. Only 47% of top-10 pages get cited. Your ideas spread everywhere. Your name appears nowhere.

I’ve received more requests from Founders for early access than I could have guessed.

Part 1 of the complete research is now live.

Inside Part 1:

  • → The visibility collapse timeline (2018–2027)
  • → When each structural break happened and why
  • → The data proving this is systematic, not accidental
  • → The turning point and what happens next
  • → What happens if you do nothing (+ the nightmare scenario)

This connects everything from the last few days with the complete big picture.
