Month-1 Client Review · Blue Springs Construction

Your first 22 days,
by the numbers.
And what we do next.

A walk-through of where BSC is in search and local visibility today, every move Telos has shipped since onboarding on April 19, the runway for the next 90 days, and the handful of decisions we need from you to keep it on schedule.

7-Section Review
Section 01

Welcome — here's what we're covering today.

You've been on with Telos for 22 days. This call is the first of a bi-weekly rhythm we'd like to keep going — a structured 45-minute review where we walk you through the data, show you what shipped, and align on what's next.

What this section covers

A 30-second frame for the meeting. Where you are today, what we shipped, what's next, and the questions we need to ask you so the next 30 days runs without delays.

02
Where you are

Your baseline numbers in plain English — what we measured starting April 19.

03
What we shipped

Every move Telos has made in 22 days, with proof.

The next 90 days

Month 1 / 2 / 3 timeline so you know the runway.

05–07
Discovery + dashboard

A few questions for you, ad-launch readiness, and a tour of how to read the dashboard.

Why this rhythm

SEO is a 6-to-12-month compounding game, and the work in month 1 looks different from the work in month 6. Without a structured check-in, the metrics drift out of context. Bi-weekly reviews keep us aligned, give you visibility into the work, and give us a chance to ask you questions before we waste time guessing.

Section 02

Where you are right now — your baseline.

Here are the numbers as they stood when we measured them this week. These are your starting line, not your finish line. We'll compare against these every two weeks going forward.

What this section covers

Your website search performance, your Google Business Profile traffic, and your website health score — all in plain English. No marketing jargon. This is what the dashboard will show you 24/7.

Tracking is wired — no events fired yet
In plain English

Your Google Business Profile is doing real work — 127 people looked at your listing last month and 30 clicked through to the website. That's not bad for a service-area builder. Your website itself, though, is invisible in search outside of people typing "Blue Springs Construction" — we'll come back to why in Section 3. Conversions are not yet being counted — the wiring is in place but no leads have been logged yet, which is the highest-priority fix on our plate this month.

What this means

Three things stand out. One: the only search you rank for on page 1 is your own name — that's brand recall, not new business. Two: for the searches that would bring you new business ("building contractor windsor", "general contractor windsor co"), you're showing up on page 3 — nobody clicks past page 2. Three: there's a chunk of impressions for "Blue Springs MO" searches — that's the wrong Blue Springs (Missouri). We can clean that up in upcoming meta tag rewrites so we stop competing with a different city.

Reviews Replied To

None of your 6 reviews has been responded to. Quick win for this week.

In plain English

Your GBP is the strongest channel you have right now. 127 people looked at your listing, 30 clicked through to the site — that's 24% click-through, more than eight times healthier than your website's 2.94% organic search rate. The biggest immediate opportunity is replying to your six 5-star reviews — especially Zachary Wilson's commercial-tenant-finish review from March, which reads like a case study. Replies are a documented Google ranking signal and take five minutes per review.

Missing schema makes you invisible to ChatGPT & Google AI Overviews.

Audit Findings

1 Critical (missing H1), 6 Warnings, 1 Notice. Most cleared in May.

The headline number to watch

AI Readiness 43/100 is the single biggest gap. When somebody asks ChatGPT or Google's AI Overview "best contractor in Windsor CO," the AI looks for structured signals (LocalBusiness schema, FAQ markup, llms.txt). Your site doesn't have any of them yet. We're shipping that in Section 3's work plan — the goal is to lift this score from 43 to 65+ over the next 60 days, while your competitors are still figuring out AI search exists.

Day 22 update — yesterday's data refresh

The numbers above are your Day 19 starting line (snapshot from May 8). Sunday's fresh data pull — 4 days after the schema, meta, and page-speed work shipped — already shows movement on every dial:

43 → 61
AI Readiness

+18 points in 4 days. Already past the 60-day goal.

92 → 98
Site Health

+6 points. Lighthouse SEO now perfect 100.

Search Clicks (30d)

~3× growth. Real visitors from Google.

Queries you appear for

5× wider footprint. Impressions 136 → 391.

Position is up too — average rank #28 → #24.5 across all tracked queries. We're not on page 1 yet, but the foundation is doing what it's supposed to do, four days after shipment. This is what Section 3 will explain — and what the bi-weekly cadence is built to track.

Section 03

What Telos shipped in your first 22 days.

Every move we've made on BSC since onboarding April 19, in chronological order, with proof. This is the foundation work — the unsexy-but-mandatory groundwork that month 2's traction sits on top of.

What this section covers

The actual work shipped on bluespringsconstruct.com between April 19 and May 11. 5 major shipments. Specific impact, specific dates. Each item lives in your dashboard's Activity feed with a full client-facing report.

Page-speed tune-up — mobile load time cut nearly in half

Tuned the page-speed cache and connected the optimization edge network that compresses CSS and modern image formats per visitor. Mobile load time on bluespringsconstruct.com dropped from 16.6 seconds to 9.7 seconds on day zero. The full lift propagates over the next two weeks as the edge network finishes warming up across visitors — final target is sub-3 seconds on mobile.

Image accessibility upgrade — 341 photos now describe themselves

Filled in alt text on 341 images in your WordPress media library — 224 derived from filenames, 117 hero/marketing/project photos with documented descriptions. Alt text is what screen readers (and Google's image search) use to understand what each photo shows. Direct lift to image-search visibility and accessibility scoring.

Duplicate metadata cleanup — one less audit warning

Cleaned up a duplicate technical metadata signal on bluespringsconstruct.com so the on-page audit no longer flags Duplicate Meta Tags. The site was emitting a small platform-version tag twice (once from WordPress, once from the page builder); search engines no longer see conflicting signals.

Audit cleared

Full data refresh + dedicated keyword list + live GBP API

Your dashboard now has its own dedicated keyword list (general contractor + Windsor area, 26 seeds) instead of inheriting Telos's marketing keywords. Google Business Profile data is now pulled live via API — review count, performance metrics, search keywords, posts. Five local construction competitors auto-discovered from the dashboard's competitor research engine.

Local Pack heatmap baseline — the invisibility map

Fresh Local Pack scan across 5 construction queries on a Windsor / Northern Colorado grid. Result: BSC doesn't appear at any grid point for 4 of 5 queries. Single appearance at avg position 20 for "general contractor windsor." This isn't a Local SEO problem alone — it's a website indexing + on-page-content problem we're systematically fixing in May.

Baseline locked
The shape of the next 30 days

The pattern you'll see in May: fix the foundation, then start building on it. Page speed, alt text, and duplicate metadata are foundation. Coming up next: missing H1 tag (the #1 audit finding), meta description rewrites across all service pages, LocalBusiness JSON-LD schema (the AI Readiness score lift), and a fresh sitemap submission so Google re-discovers everything that's changed since 2023.

Section 04

The next 90 days — your runway.

SEO is a compounding game with a known curve. Foundation work in months 1–2 builds the platform. Traction shows up in months 3–6. Real compounding starts at month 6+. Here's what each phase looks like for BSC specifically.

The honest version

Don't expect ranking miracles in week 4. Most agencies hide this part: SEO genuinely takes 60–90 days before the curves bend, because Google has to re-crawl, re-index, and re-evaluate trust signals. What you'll see in May is the foundation work going in. What you'll see by mid-July is the first non-brand keywords moving from page 3 onto page 1. If you want lead flow faster than that, Google Ads is the parallel play — that's why Section 6 exists.

Section 05

A few questions for you — SEO + business.

Six questions, roughly 10 minutes. Your answers shape what we prioritize next month. There are no wrong answers — just tell us how you actually run the business and what you actually want more of.

What this section covers

Six questions Arnold will walk through with you on the call. Your answers shape what we prioritize next month — sharper targeting, sharper plan.

1 What's your average project value, and which one or two services are most profitable for you?

Why we ask: Anchors which keywords and pages we prioritize. If basements are 60% of revenue and twice as profitable as remodels, we go all-in on basements first.

2 What's a realistic monthly lead volume target for you over the next 6 months?

Why we ask: Defines the success bar. "5 qualified leads/mo" and "20 qualified leads/mo" lead to very different campaign strategies.

3 What's your real service radius? Cities you definitely want, cities you want to avoid?

Why we ask: Shapes geo-content, GBP service area, and where we point ads. Your GBP currently lists Bellvue / Fort Collins / Loveland / Windsor / Greeley — we want to confirm that's right.

4 Who are your top 3 competitors? Who do you most often lose jobs to?

Why we ask: Locks the competitor list. The dashboard auto-discovered 5 builders in your area; we want to know which actually keep you up at night so we run the deep teardown on the right ones.

5 What does "this is working" look like to you in 6 months?

Why we ask: Defines the metric you'll judge us on. Some clients want "10 more leads/mo." Others want "rank #1 for general contractor Windsor." Both are valid; the strategy diverges.

6 Who answers the phone, and what's your response-time goal on web inquiries?

Why we ask: Lead intake is the #1 ROI killer. Studies show contacting a lead within 5 minutes is 21x more likely to convert than 30 minutes. If the intake is broken, no amount of ranking fixes it.

Section 06

If we turn on Google Ads — here's what we need.

SEO is the 6-month compounding play. Google Ads is the 30-day faucet. Most contractor clients run both: ads bring leads while SEO is still building. These eight questions are everything we need to launch a properly-targeted campaign.

What this section covers

The 8-question Google Ads readiness battery. Once we have answers, Telos can have a campaign drafted within 5 business days, and live within 7.

1 Which 1–2 services do you most want ads to push?

Why we ask: Sets the campaign focus. We won't try to advertise everything — we'll go all-in on the highest-margin work you want more of.

2 What's a comfortable monthly ad budget — $2K, $5K, $10K+?

Why we ask: Determines campaign structure. Below $2K monthly, ads on competitive contractor terms in NoCO can't generate enough click volume to learn. $5K is the realistic floor for this market.

3 What's a lead worth to you? What CPL ceiling makes you uncomfortable?

Why we ask: Sets the bidding ceiling. If a basement-finishing job is worth $40K and a typical lead-to-close rate is 1-in-5, a $200 cost-per-lead is fine. If it's $500 you'd flinch — we cap it there.

4 Geo — cities you'd advertise in, cities you definitely wouldn't?

Why we ask: Hard targeting boundaries. We can either bid on a 25-mile radius around Windsor or hand-pick cities. Cities you don't service should be excluded so we don't waste impressions.

5 Phone intake hours, and your response-time goal on web form fills?

Why we ask: The #1 cause of Google Ads campaigns failing isn't the ads — it's slow intake. If a lead form sits unanswered for 4 hours, the prospect already called your competitor. We can also schedule ads to run only during your phone hours so you don't pay for after-hours clicks that don't get answered.

6 Approved photos and offers we can use in ad creative?

Why we ask: The #2 cause of contractor ad campaigns stalling is creative approval. We need 8–12 high-resolution project photos cleared for ad use, plus any seasonal offers you're willing to run ("free in-home consultation," "$500 off basement design," etc.).

7 Tracked phone number OK, or main line only?

Why we ask: Required for ROI proof. A tracked number routes calls through a service that records which ad/keyword drove the call — without it, we can't prove ads generated phone leads. Forwards to your existing line, no change to your phone setup.

8 What does "ads are working" look like in 90 days?

Why we ask: Defines the success metric you'll judge the ads on. Some clients want "20 form fills/mo," others want "5 calls/week," others want "2 closed projects from ads." All three are valid — we tune the campaign accordingly.

What happens after this call

If you green-light ads, Telos drafts a campaign brief based on these 8 answers within 5 business days. You review, approve, and we go live by day 7. First-week reporting on day 7, full attribution dashboard ready by day 30.

Section 07

Your dashboard — and your homework.

Last 5 minutes. A quick tour of the dashboard so you can check on us between calls, plus a clear list of what we need from you to ship the next 30 days on schedule.

What this section covers

A 5-minute dashboard tour (no more) so Mike can self-serve between bi-weekly reviews, and the specific items Telos needs from Mike to keep month 2 on schedule.

What we need from you, by next review

Bi-weekly checkpoint · ~2 weeks from today · ~30 min

Mike's homework

  1. Reply to all 6 existing 5-star reviews. ~5 min each. Telos will send drafts you can edit; you publish from your phone or laptop. Direct local-pack ranking signal.
  2. Submit a real test contact form on bluespringsconstruct.com so we can confirm GA4 conversion tracking is firing end-to-end. (Use a real email; we'll delete the test entry after.)
  3. Send 4 recent project photos + 1 sentence each: a basement, a tenant finish, a kitchen, a bathroom. These become website + GBP content.
  4. Decide on the Google Ads question (Section 6 above). If yes, ad campaign drafted within 5 days.
  5. Optional: 15-min phone call to recap the Zachary Wilson commercial tenant-finish project — that review is gold and we'd love to turn it into a case study.

Telos's homework

  1. Add the missing H1 tag to the homepage with target phrase ("General Contractor Northern Colorado" or similar — pending your service-priority answer in §5).
  2. Write meta descriptions for the homepage + 4 top service pages. Drafts shared with you for approval before publishing.
  3. Rewrite title tags across primary pages (50–60 character range, keyword-targeted).
  4. Fix the mixed-content (HTTPS) warning — one of the security signals dragging the audit score.
  5. Ship LocalBusiness JSON-LD schema with full address + service area + hours. Direct AI Readiness lift.
  6. Submit a fresh sitemap to Google so it re-discovers the 22 months of pages added since 2023.
  7. Validate GA4 conversion events are firing on form submit, phone click, email click.
  8. Draft + schedule the first 2 GBP posts with project photos you provide.
Cadence going forward

Bi-weekly Teams meetings, 30 minutes each. Same format as today: numbers → what we shipped → what's next → questions. We'll lock the next session date at the end of this call. By then we'll have first conversion data flowing, the H1/meta/schema work shipped, and a competitor teardown ready on whoever you named in §5 question 4.
