How I work
Before you sign. Two weeks.
Days 1–90. Every month after.
Every price on the page, no discovery call, three clients at a time. Here's the order things happen in, what you hand over at each step, and the three points where the decision is yours.
Before you sign
The Scan. Free.
Two minutes to request, the full report within one business day. Eight areas: your website, your Google Business Profile and the four AI assistants. If SEO is the wrong tool for your problem, the report says so.
You hand overYour website, your business name and an email. Add what a customer is worth and your close rate if you want the dollar figures built on your numbers.Two minutes. No call.
◆ Decision 1 of 3
Buy the audit, or don't. The report is yours either way. If you want my read before spending real money, the Second Opinion ($495, 48 hours, comes off the audit in full) is the link at the end of it.
Two weeks
The Revenue Audit. $3,500.
The clock starts at analytics access. A priority list with a dollar figure on every item, a baseline, a 90-day plan, and an hour-long walkthrough. Half comes off month one of the Engagement if you start inside 60 days.
You hand overAnalytics and Search Console access, and whatever you have on calls and booked jobs.The clock doesn't start until I can see your data. Access delays are the only thing that moves the date.
◆ Decision 2 of 3
Do it yourself, take it elsewhere (I'll tell you who's good), or hire me. Start the Engagement inside sixty days and half the audit fee, $1,750, comes off your first month.
Days 1 – 90
The Engagement. $6,000 a month.
Foundations first: tracking, technical, the intent map for your money queries. Three seats, email only, one business day reply. Day 90 is a decision point, not a renewal.
You hand overCall-tracking access, or a yes to installing it. CMS access or a named developer. A decision when something needs your sign-off.The work stalls without these; the most common reason an engagement underperforms is access that took six weeks to arrive.
◆ Decision 3 of 3
Day 90. Stay month to month, or leave with the plan and the baseline. SEO doesn't prove itself in three weeks, but if I haven't earned month four, you should go.
Every month after
One call. One report. One folder.
Reported in calls and revenue, not rankings. Re-diagnosis every quarter. Results usually show in months four to eight, and the report says which is which.
You hand overForty-five minutes on the same date each month, and a decision when the report asks for one.Email answered within one business day, both directions.
Beside the rows, not a step
The Watch. $249/mo. Your Scan re-run every four weeks, and one email naming what moved since last time. Monitoring, not diagnosis, so it credits toward nothing. Cancel any time.
Four rules, after thirty years
Rankings are vanity. Revenue is sanity.
Diagnosis before prescription.
Most of it doesn't matter.
Say the uncomfortable thing.
Find the leaks.
Keep the revenue.
The Revenue Audit reads your website, your map listing and your keywords by hand, and puts a dollar figure on every leak. Two weeks, $3,500, and a 90-day plan in the order that pays.
Start the Revenue AuditWhat I do
Everything I do points at
one number.
SEO, design and conversion aren't sold as separate packages here. The Revenue Audit decides which of them your site needs, and in what order. Then I do that work, or hand you the plan.
01 · Revenue first
Conversion optimization
Calls · forms · bookings
The traffic you already have that isn't turning into anything is the fastest money on the table. Numbers you can't tap, forms nobody finishes on a phone, booking widgets that render blank. I find them and fix them first.
See what the audit checks02 · The path to the money
Sales funnel design
Search → page → enquiry → booked job
Every step between the search and the sale, laid out and measured: where people land, what they're asked to do, how fast you answer, and where they leave. Built around how your customers actually buy, which for most home-service companies is a phone call, not a form.
How I work03 · The last page before the money
UX/UI design
Mobile first · one tap to call
Can a homeowner with a broken AC reach you in one tap? Can a stranger tell in five seconds what you do, where, and why you? Interfaces designed for the phone your emergency customers are holding, tested by hand rather than by a crawler.
Start with the free Scan04 · Built to close
Web design
A page for every service and city
Fewer pages, engineered to rank and convert. Every service and every city you work in gets a page worth landing on, with your name, address, phone and reviews where Google and the AI assistants can read them. Rebuilds and migrations are quoted on their own.
Send me the URL05 · Since 1996

Technical · local · authority
Thirty years of it. Technical foundation, site architecture, content, links, your Google Business Profile and the map pack. Diagnosed first, then done in the order that pays, and re-diagnosed every quarter because the constraint moves.

Clients can’t stop talkingabout The SEO Savant
Great results, and SEO perfection! Thank you!
You always make us shine! We are fortunate to have found you.
Such a success! Thanks a bunch!
The numbers are up, and sales are booming.
Greate service, honest bloke.
It's a website that makes me money and that's what I need.
I really enjoy the new site and the artwork.
Quick set up, traffic is flowwing.
Stellar work!
I enjoy the new design, this is sure to help and bring greater traffic to my site.
Paste a longer review here: one or two sentences in the client’s own words about what changed after working with you.
Yishai! Excellent work! Thank you so much.
What I do differently
I look first.
Every engagement starts the same way: I take your website apart.
Not a PDF from a crawler with 400 warnings sorted by color. I mean I go through it the way I’ve gone through websites since 1996 — architecture, indexation, content, links, local presence, competitors, conversion, and now how you show up when someone asks an AI instead of a search engine.
Then I hand you a document that says, in order: here is what’s costing you money, here is why, here’s my estimate of what it’s worth to fix, and here’s what I’d do first.
You own that document. If you take it to another agency, or hand it to your nephew, or do it yourself — that’s fine. It’s yours. I’d rather you make an informed decision to hire someone else than an uninformed one to hire me.

00 · Start here — The Scan Free
Free · two minutes to request · the full report within one business day
Your website, your Google Business Profile, and what ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini say when someone in your town asks who to call. Eight areas, from whether a homeowner can reach you in one tap to whether Google can read your pages. Every finding is ranked by severity, your competitors are named, and the worst gaps get a monthly dollar range.
No. It costs me about fourteen cents to run, so I give the whole report away. It's a machine's read of your business from the outside, and everything the machine found is in it. What it isn't is my judgment. That's the Second Opinion, and it's priced separately so the free thing can stay free.
Two numbers you give me when you request it: what a customer is worth to you, and roughly how many enquiries turn into jobs. The report shows the maths, so you can check it. Skip the numbers and the figures are built on an estimate instead of on your business.
Two minutes to request. The full report is in your inbox within one business day. No call, no card, no scheduling link.
You get one follow-up email from me, then nothing unless you ask. Fix it yourself, hand it to your web person, or have me read it with you: the Second Opinion link sits at the end of every report, already tied to it. Your details are never sold or shared.
The Scan works for any home-service company in the US: HVAC, plumbing, roofing and the trades around them. If your customers find you on Google, the map pack and, more and more, ChatGPT, it applies. My market research runs deepest in Arizona and the Southwest.
Most people don't, and that's fine. The Scan tells you where to look. It can't tell you which of the fourteen things it flagged is the one taking money out of your business. That takes a person, and that's what the Second Opinion and the Revenue Audit are for.
01 · The fast one — The Second Opinion $495
$495 once · turned around in 48 hours · forty-five minutes on the phone
The Scan is a machine's read. The Second Opinion is mine. I go through what the engine found, mark up your report, and tell you which three items are worth your money and which are noise. Then we spend forty-five minutes on the phone going through it.
Yes. The Second Opinion is a read of your Scan, so there has to be one to read. The link is at the end of every Scan report, already tied to your results. The Scan is free, so this costs you two minutes and a day's wait.
Forty-eight hours from when you order it. The marked-up report comes back inside that window, and the call goes on the calendar at a time that suits you.
There isn't one. I don't do discovery calls to find out what things cost; every price is on the page. The forty-five minutes is spent on your report, not on my services. If the honest read is that you don't need the Revenue Audit, you'll hear that on the call, and you'll have paid $495 to not spend $3,500.
No. It comes off the audit in full: $3,005 instead of $3,500. Nobody pays twice for the same ground.
Yes. If you already know you want the full diagnosis, go straight to the Revenue Audit. The Second Opinion is for people who want my read on the free report before they spend real money, and for people whose problem turns out to be three fixes rather than two weeks of my time.
Your Scan report with my notes on it, a short list of the three things worth your money, in order, and a clear answer on whether the Revenue Audit is worth it for you. Yours to keep either way.
02 · The real diagnosis — The Revenue Audit $3,500
$3,500 once · two weeks · yours to keep whatever you do next
One document. Eight areas read by hand: revenue and conversion, brand and friction, technical foundation, architecture, content, authority, local presence, and the AI answer engines. All of it resequenced into a priority list with my estimate of what each item is worth in revenue, and a 90-day plan in the order that pays. Plus your baseline: traffic, conversions, rankings and revenue captured before anything changes, so there's something to measure against later.
Access, mostly. Analytics, Search Console, and whatever you have on calls and booked jobs. The two weeks start the day I can see your data, not the day you pay. Access delays are the only thing that moves that date.
We spend an hour on a call and I walk you through it. Not a sales call: I'm reading you your own results, including the parts about whether you should be spending money on this at all. Then one of three things happens. You do it yourself, you take it to someone else, or you hire me. All three are fine, and the document is written to survive all three.
No. It's perfectly capable of concluding that you don't need to hire anyone, including me. That's happened and it'll happen again. I'd rather you make an informed decision to hire someone else than an uninformed one to hire me.
Start an Engagement within sixty days of the audit and half the fee comes off your first month: $4,250 instead of $6,000. If a seat is open. I work with three companies at a time, and when the seats are full there's a waiting list and I'll tell you honestly where you are on it.
The price. Fixed, on the page, no quote form. The exceptions are multi-location businesses, franchises and large ecommerce catalogs, which are quoted individually because there's more site to read. If that's you, I'll tell you before you pay anything.
The audit earns its price when there's something to diagnose: traffic that isn't converting, rankings that slipped and nobody can say why, or a year of paying someone with nothing you can point to. If you're brand new with eleven pages and no traffic, you need content and time, not a diagnosis, and I'll say so. Send me the URL and I'll tell you which one you are in two minutes, before you pay me anything.
Yes, I sign NDAs. And the only person who sees your analytics is the person writing the report. No team, no junior, no intake coordinator. I read it, I write it.
03 · The work — The Engagement $6,000/mo
$6,000 a month · ninety days, then month to month · three seats
No. Every Engagement starts with the Revenue Audit. I don't take on ongoing work for a site I haven't diagnosed; it would make me exactly the thing I'm arguing against. Book the audit, and if you go on to an Engagement within sixty days, half of it comes back off your first month.
Not a list. There's no “four posts, eight links” here, because the right move in month one is almost never the right move in month five. You get the work the audit found, done in priority order, top down. Around it: one written report a month, one forty-five-minute call, one shared folder with a living priority list, and a full re-diagnosis every ninety days, included.
A capacity fact, not a scarcity tactic. The product is my judgment applied to your site, and judgment doesn't survive being spread across twenty accounts. Three is where it stays sharp. When the seats are full, they're full; there's a waiting list, and you'll know where you stand on it.
Ninety days, then month to month. SEO doesn't prove itself in three weeks, but if I haven't earned month four, you should leave. Billing is one number, one line: $6,000. The only additions are pass-through costs, meaning paid placements, tools bought in your name or a subcontracted developer, billed at cost with no markup, and separate projects like a rebuild or a migration, quoted on their own.
One channel: email. No text, no Slack, so the record stays in one place. One business day is my response window, and it's a promise. One call a month, forty-five minutes, the same date every month, booked for the year when you start. One shared folder where you can see what I'm doing at any hour. One report a month, written by me: what I did, what it moved, what's next, what I need from you.
Months one to three usually show leading indicators only: indexation, impressions, average position on the target clusters. Not revenue. Month two is when clients panic, and I'm telling you now so that when it's quiet you'll remember it was predicted. Real movement in revenue and qualified leads generally lands between month four and month eight. You'll get a specific range after the audit. Anyone giving you one before is guessing.
Analytics and Search Console access. Call-tracking access, and if you don't have call tracking, installing it is item one, before any SEO work, because half your conversions are phone calls and invisible conversions can't be proved. CMS access or a named developer. And a decision when something needs one. The most common reason an Engagement underperforms is access that took six weeks to arrive.
No. I get asked for a $1,500 version regularly, and there isn't one: a cheap client takes a third of my capacity for a fraction of the value, and the other two seats pay for it. If $6,000 a month isn't where you are yet, buy the audit and take it to someone who charges less to execute. That's a legitimate path, and I'll tell you who's good.
04 · Alongside any of it — The Watch $249/mo
$249 a month · your Scan re-run every four weeks · cancel any time
Your Scan, re-run every four weeks, automatically, with one email naming what changed since last time. Rankings drift. A competitor claims a profile. An AI assistant changes its mind about who to recommend. None of it announces itself. The Watch means you find out in thirty days instead of a year.
What moved, in plain language, and your monthly leak figure tracked over time, so you see the trend and not just the snapshot. You get the email even when nothing moved, because “nothing moved” is the answer most months and it's worth knowing.
No. The Watch is monitoring; the Engagement is work. The Watch tells you something changed. It doesn't diagnose why, and nobody fixes anything. If an email shows something worth acting on, that's when the Second Opinion or the Revenue Audit comes in.
No. It's monitoring, not diagnosis, so it doesn't credit toward the audit or the Engagement the way the Second Opinion and the audit credit toward each other.
Run the free Scan first. The switch is in your report. There's nothing else to set up, because it's the same Scan running again on the same business.
Any time. It's month to month, with no term.
It runs alongside anything, including an Engagement. But in an Engagement you're already getting a written report from me every month and a full re-diagnosis every quarter, so the Watch earns its keep mostly for people who took the Scan or the audit and are doing the work themselves, or with someone else.

Case studies and teardowns from thirty years in search. Every number on these cards is real. The client names are left out on purpose.

Ranking for its own name and nothing anybody searches for
The keyword report looked healthy until you crossed out every brand term. One row was left standing. Five pages on the entire site, zero of them for a service or a location.

Ranked #1 for the term that matters. Nineteen hours to answer an inquiry
The rankings were real. Everything downstream of them was theater, and the median response time was doing the losing. Claimants choose inside an hour.

$3,000 a month in ads, landing on a page that lost three buyers in four
The ads were fine. The site behind them was the problem, and nobody in the building could say which half of the budget worked.

They ranked first and still couldn’t get anyone booked
Top three in every market. A booking widget that rendered a blank white box on half the devices that reached it. Online bookings up 156% after the fix.

They were optimizing for the 30% of conversions that didn’t matter
Six locations. Every report counted form fills. Ninety percent of their booked jobs started with a phone call nobody was measuring. Booked jobs up 38% in 120 days.

Google was crawling 340,000 URLs to find 11,000 products
Faceted navigation had multiplied the catalog thirty times over. Most of the store had never been indexed at all, and the agency’s answer had been to write more category descriptions.

A law firm ranked #1 and lost the case anyway
A six-attorney plaintiff-side firm, around $9M in annual fee revenue, holds the top organic position for the term that matters most in its market. It also takes a median of 19 hours to answer an inquiry.

A landscaping company that ranks for its own name
The monthly report showed 3,100 organic sessions and a top position for every term that ranks. Nearly all of it was people typing the company’s name. The profitable half of the business was invisible.

A dental group on a website nobody can book on
Four locations, strong rankings, and a booking widget that fails silently on iPhones. Nobody on the team had tried to book an appointment from a phone in two years.

Ranking for its own name, and nothing anybody searches for
The keyword report looked healthy until you crossed out every brand term. One row was left standing, and they ranked ninth for it. 530 brand searches a month against 18,400 category searches they miss.

Your pricing page is an SEO asset and you’ve hidden it
Buyers search for what things cost. Most businesses refuse to answer, so a forum thread or a directory answers for them. Here is how to publish a number without committing to one.

A bigger SEO problem than your title tags
A checkout that leaks converts every dollar of acquisition spend into a bounce. Ranking better on a leaking funnel just means more people leave. Price the leak first.

Yishai Koln. Thirty years, one discipline.
I started doing this in 1996, when search meant AltaVista and Lycos. I’ve worked through every change since, inside agencies and cleaning up after them. What I sell isn’t access to tools; anyone can buy the tools. It’s the judgment about which of the fourteen things a tool flags is the one taking money out of your business.
I work alone from Phoenix, three clients at a time. The person who reads your report is the person who does the work.
The ninety-second checkout problem.
You can buy SEO in ninety seconds right now. Ten articles, $500. Twenty backlinks, $800. A technical cleanup, $1,200. Add to cart, enter your card, done.
That model is efficient and it’s cheap and it works beautifully — for people who already know what they need.
You don’t. That’s not an insult. Knowing what a website needs is the entire skill. It’s what takes years to learn, and it’s the one thing nobody selling you a package has bothered to do.
So here’s what happens. You buy content. The content is fine. Nothing moves. Because content was never the problem — your site was fighting itself over duplicate pages, or your service areas had no pages at all, or Google had quietly stopped crawling half your catalog eight months ago.
You didn’t buy the wrong product. You bought a product before anyone asked the question.
The engagement
I work with three companies at a time.
Not a scarcity tactic. A capacity fact. The product is my judgment applied to your site, and judgment doesn’t survive being spread across twenty clients.
The Engagement — $6,000/month. The audit, then I do the work. No fixed deliverable list, because I don’t know yet what your site needs and neither does anyone who hasn’t looked at it. Ninety days, then month to month.
When the three seats are full, the audit is still open — and plenty of people take it to their own team.
Audit excerpt
Why me
I started doing this before Google existed.
1996. Search was AltaVista and Lycos, and you ranked by stuffing keywords into a meta tag. Then Google arrived and made that worthless overnight. Then it happened again, and again — Panda, Penguin, mobile-first, the helpful content update — and now answer engines that resolve the question without sending you a click at all.
I can tell a trend from a tactic.
Most of what gets sold as ‘the new thing in SEO’ is a repackaged version of something that stopped working in 2011. I’ve seen the original.
I know what doesn't matter.
Half of what agencies bill for is theatre — work that’s easy to show on a report and has no effect on rankings or revenue. Experience is mostly knowing what to skip.
I've made the expensive mistakes.
On my own sites and on other people’s. You’re buying thirty years of me being wrong, corrected.
You talk to the person thinking.
Every time. The strategy never gets handed to a junior, which is the actual failure mode at most agencies.
Find out who AI recommends instead of you
I ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini the questions your customers ask, then show you who they name, where they got it, and what to fix first.
Free. The full report within one business day. No call, no card.
