Michael McMurray

Local marketing for Downriver small businesses

Google Business Profile, Google Maps, and website fixes that help you get more calls. Monthly support for shops near Detroit, without agency overhead.

What I do each month

Google Business Profile, Google Maps, and website optimization (not a full redesign). Built for home services, auto shops, landscapers, and independent restaurants who want more calls from Google.

Who I work with

  • HVAC, plumbing, electrical, auto repair, landscaping
  • Family-owned restaurants in Wyandotte and Downriver
  • Single-location businesses within about 50 miles of Detroit

How it works

  • First month is a $500 cleanup: listing accuracy, categories, hours, services, and a baseline report
  • Then pick Google Business Profile only, or GBP plus website upkeep on your existing site
  • Plain-English reporting on calls, directions, and profile activity
  • No redesign agency. You keep ownership of your Google listing and site

First month: $500 for onboarding and cleanup (all new clients).

Google Business Profile

$250/mo

After the first month

Listing posts, photos, review replies, and accuracy checks so your profile stays active.

  • 4 Google posts per month
  • Review responses on your Google listing (with manager access)
  • Hours, categories, services, and NAP checks
  • Short monthly note on calls and directions

Optional: Google Ads management for +$100/mo (monitoring, adjustments, conversion tracking). Ad spend is billed by Google to you.

Before we talk, I review your Google listing and website and send three specific quick wins. No jargon, no hard sell.

  1. Google listing: category, hours, phone, address, photo count, last post, review replies
  2. Website: mobile load, click-to-call, contact form, HTTPS, obvious broken links
  3. Search check: who ranks when someone searches your business name plus city

About

I help Downriver and Metro Detroit small businesses show up better on Google and fix website issues that cost calls. I live in the area and work with owners who want clear monthly help, not a big agency.

Before this, I spent nearly six years leading support operations and delivery at Edge, a fintech app with millions of accounts worldwide. That background means I am used to systems, follow-through, and explaining work in plain English.

I use AI tools daily (including Cursor) to move faster on listing and site work, then you get a short report of what changed.
