Services catalog

Turn local demand into booked jobs.

Mainstay builds the growth infrastructure local operators need: fast, trustworthy websites, clear local visibility, and automation that protects revenue from missed calls and dropped leads.

What we do

High‑speed websites, local search and maps visibility, answer‑engine optimization, and intake/follow‑up systems that keep leads moving until they book or say no.

Who it's for

Local service businesses with crews and real demand that want better lead quality, fewer missed calls, and less guesswork in their marketing and ops.

How it delivers

Fixed‑scope sprints, weekly progress, and measurable improvements tied to booked work and margin, not vanity metrics.

Visibility (SEO + AI Recommendations)

Get found where people (and AI) decide.

We make your services and service area unmistakably clear, then build the pages and proof that help you show up and get picked in Google Maps, local search, and modern AI tools.

Core Deliverables

  • Service + area coverage (no thin pages)
  • Google Business Profile alignment
  • Entity clarity for AI tools
  • FAQ coverage for high‑intent questions
  • Smart site structure and internal links
  • Measurement tied to leads (not clicks)
Conversion (CRO)

Turn visits into booked jobs and requests.

Great operators lose money when pages are unclear, slow, or missing proof. We build pages that answer key questions quickly and make the next step easy, especially on mobile.

Core Deliverables

  • High‑converting service pages
  • Clear pricing drivers and expectations
  • Proof placed near CTAs
  • Mobile-first speed and layout
  • Forms and calls that don’t leak
  • Revenue tracking (not just traffic)

Operations (Automation)

Stop dropping leads after the click.

Most “marketing problems” are really operations problems. You already paid to get the lead; we put systems in place so they get handled quickly, consistently, and without burning your team out.

Core Deliverables

  • Review request automation
  • Missed‑call text back and intake
  • Simple quote logic and qualification
  • CRM and pipeline cleanup
  • Follow‑up for unbooked leads
  • Reporting that leads to action
Why Mainstay

Not another
marketing agency.

Most agencies sell monthly retainers and vague “optimization.” We build and install growth infrastructure in clear sprints, then you decide if you want us to keep supporting it.

The Roadmap

How we build your
growth infrastructure.

No guessing work. A clear, sprint-based process with defined deliverables at every stage.

Phase 1 – Discovery call

Kickoff call

We map your services, service areas, current tools, and main bottlenecks. This gives us a clear picture of what’s already working and what’s leaking.

Phase 2 – Technical scorecards

Baseline audit

We run the Website, Local Visibility, and AI Recommendation scorecards to see how your website, Google presence, and AI readiness are performing today. This becomes the baseline for improvement.

You get a simple strategy document that lays out priorities in order: what we’ll tackle in the first sprint, what comes next, and what can wait. No generic “50‑point audit” you’ll never use.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about working with Mainstay to grow your local service business.
What is Mainstay Automation in one sentence?
Mainstay Automation turns attention into booked jobs by stacking Clarity (SEO/AEO), Proof (reviews and trust), and Speed-to-lead automation. Your website plus Talk-to-Task captures the inquiry, creates a task, and triggers follow-up so leads never go cold.
What is the “So What?” test?
It’s the rule we use to keep your fix list focused. Every recommendation has to answer: “So what? Does this help a qualified person find us, trust us, or book a job faster?” If we can’t draw that line, it doesn’t make the list.
