From Buried in Google to Becoming the Go-To Name in Provo

When we first met the team at GrindTime Stump Grinding, they had grit, hustle, and a loyal customer base but to Google? They were practically invisible.

Despite delivering five-star service, they were stuck on page 2, watching lesser services outrank them. No calls. No clicks. Just silence. They weren’t losing because they were bad, they were losing because Google didn’t understand their value.

And in today’s digital world, if Google can’t see you, your customers never will.That’s where we came in.

The Starting Point: A Business Worthy of Attention But Hidden from Sight

At the beginning of 2025, here’s what we saw:

• Google Reviews: 48 total great feedback, but not enough volume

• Ranking for “Stump Grinding Provo”: Buried at #6 in Google Maps

• Website: Minimal content, no blogs, poor keyword targeting

• Authority: No backlinks or signals showing Google “they mattered”

• SoLV Score (Local Falcon): 8.16 barely reaching across the city

Meanwhile, their top competitor, Joe’s Stump Grinding, had:

• 137 reviews

• Fully optimized Google Business Profile

• Dominating every local search grid

GrindTime wasn’t losing because they were worse, they were just invisible.

What We Did:

Rebuilding Their Digital Presence From the Ground Up

We didn’t throw spaghetti at the wall or chase every shiny SEO trend. We focused on what moves the needle locally: authority, trust, and visibility.

We rebuilt their Google Business Profile to tell the right story

Their profile was technically there, but it didn’t sell. We updated everything from the business description to uploading photos, service details, and posting regular updates that matched what customers were actually searching for.

We wrote content with real intent not filler

We launched blog pages like “Affordable Stump Grinding in Provo” and “Why You Need Emergency Stump Removal,” written with precision to match local search intent. Each page wasn’t just for SEO it answered a specific customer question.

We built digital credibility through local links and citations

We placed them in niche directories, Provo-specific business sites, and picked up backlinks that told Google: “This company matters here.” It was like turning on a light switch. Google now had context and GrindTime started climbing.

We amplified their strongest asset: Happy Clients

They were already delivering great service; they just weren’t leveraging it. We helped them request and manage reviews consistently, growing from 48 to 86 reviews, all while keeping their perfect 5.0 rating

The Result: From Underdog to Local Authority in Just Months

The only thing worse than being bad at what you do… is being great and invisible. LocalEyes Pro made sure they were seen by Google, by their neighbors, and by every client who needed them.
