Guaranteed Google Maps Ranking
Top 3 on the map, or you do not pay
We put your business in the Top 3 of Google Maps for your money keywords, across the ZIP codes around your office, within six months. If Google does not prove it, you get 100% back.
- Top 3 in six months or a full refund, no argument
- Held in escrow at Upwork, NASDAQ: UPWK, until Google proves it
- You verify it yourself, on the live map, from your own phone
- Nine services, six months
- Monthly geo-grid proof
Three slots, and you are not in them
The programme is measured on the grid around your office. Green is a top-three position. If Google does not prove it inside six months, the escrow returns everything.
See the guarantee
The same service area and the same 169 measured points in both panels. Left is a real scan from our rank tracker, anonymised. Right is the position the work aims at, shown on the same grid so the two are comparable. It is a target, not a client result.
Top 3 on the map, or you don't pay
Fifteen minutes to check whether your market is one we can guarantee. If it is not, we will tell you on that call.
Escrow at Upwork, not with us
Your investment is held through Upwork Direct Contracts, the milestone payment system of Upwork Inc., a US company publicly traded on the NASDAQ. You fund escrow, Upwork holds it neutrally, and a miss returns 100% of it to you.
See the priceTop 3 in the Map Pack
Five money keywords across the ZIP codes around your office. Not impressions, not a vanity keyword nobody searches: the three slots that take the calls.
The live map, from your phone
You verify it yourself on the actual Google Maps result, not on a screenshot we produced. We re-scan the same grid we measured at the start.
Ours, not yours
We do not touch a single dollar until Google proves we hit the target. If we miss it inside six months the escrow returns everything.
You collect the cash first
Even if we rank you quickly the programme runs a minimum of two months in total, so the new jobs are already paying you before we get paid.
Five steps, zero risk to you
Nothing starts until the target is written down and the money is somewhere neither of us controls.
Lock the target
Five high-intent money keywords and the ZIP codes around your office. That area is your Primary Revenue Grid, and it is what the guarantee is measured on.
Fund escrow
Your investment goes into Upwork Direct Contracts. Upwork Inc. is a US company listed on the NASDAQ. We cannot touch a dollar of it.
We work for six months
Map Pack, profile, citations, reviews, AI visibility, entity and schema, local links and digital PR, all running together.
You verify it yourself
We re-scan the live grid and you check the Top 3 from your own phone. Not a report we wrote, the actual map.
Pay on proof
The programme runs a minimum of two months. If you are in the Top 3 the escrow releases once the new jobs have already paid you. If not, you get 100% back.
One price agreed before we start. The full scope is written into the service agreement, so nothing gets added to the invoice later.

The terms on this page
Plain definitions of the vocabulary this service uses, so nobody has to guess and so an answer engine has something precise to quote.
- Map Pack
- The three local business results Google shows above the organic listings. Three slots, and they carry the majority of calls in home services.
- Geo-grid scan
- A ranking measurement taken at many points across a service area rather than at a single location, because local rank changes with the searcher's position.
- Google Business Profile
- The listing that decides whether a contractor appears in the Map Pack. Its primary category and services list move rankings more than most on-site work.
- NAP
- Name, address and phone number. Local search treats inconsistency across directories as a trust problem, and the inconsistency usually starts upstream.
The questions contractors actually ask
Answered straight, including the ones where the answer is no.
What exactly counts as hitting the target?
Top 3 in the Google Maps results for the five money keywords we agreed, across the ZIP codes around your office, verified on a live geo-grid re-scan you can reproduce on your own phone. The keywords and the ZIPs are written down before we start.
Why escrow instead of just trusting each other?
Because a guarantee is only worth something if the money is somewhere neither of us controls. Upwork Direct Contracts is a milestone system run by a NASDAQ-listed US company, and it releases only on proof.
What if you rank us in month two?
The programme still runs a minimum of two months in total before release, so the extra jobs have already paid you before we are paid. That is deliberate.
Will you take any market?
No. Some markets are too competitive to guarantee inside six months and in those we will say so and offer a retainer instead. Turning down the ones we cannot win is what makes the guarantee real.
Do you work with our competitors?
Not in the same service area, for the duration of the programme and while any retainer that follows it is running.
What do we have to provide?
Owner access to the Google Business Profile, access to the website, real job photos, your licence number, and a decision-maker who answers within a day or two. That is genuinely it.
