Search visibility
We run Ranking Gap Reviews on clients. Here is ours.
If we sell Local SEO, we should be able to talk about our own search honestly. On-site entity and the Michigan geo page are live. Buyer-intent rankings are not. No guaranteed rankings, traffic, or revenue.
Keyword checked
Brand: “Lost Teddy Productions”
Incognito-style public checks. Money keywords below are the ones that should create new managed-account conversations in Michigan.
local SEO Michigan
Absent from first-page results observed
On-site Michigan page, schema, and a Grand Blanc Google Maps listing are live. Maps Pack (from 48439, 2026-08-30): SEO Consulting Pros, Cohoon Consulting, Cherish Local. A pin is not the same as pack placement.
local SEO Fenton
Absent from first-page results observed
Corridor page /services/michigan-local-seo now has a dedicated Local SEO Fenton section plus FAQ. Lost Teddy’s Maps listing service areas: Grand Blanc, Fenton, Brighton, Linden, Holly (saved 2026-09-01). Still not in this query’s pack in last observed checks.
website design Fenton MI
Absent from first-page results observed
Dedicated corridor page /services/website-design-michigan is live (2026-09-01). Maps Pack previously: Behind Your Design, Think Creative, Setup Solutions. Page + listing still do not equal page one.
Ranking Gap Review
Checklist appears on Google for the exact phrase; product search is not won yet
Google logged-out 2026-08-30: Ranking Gap Checklist was result 2 and /services/local-seo result 4. /search-visibility is live on www (merged 2026-08-31) and still needs indexing time.
Five findings
What the gap actually is.
Same format we send clients: five concrete findings, then one priority move.
Finding 1
Brand search works
Searching the studio name still returns Lost Teddy. Bing led with the homepage. Google Web (logged-out, 48439) can lead with /about and lost-teddy-bear news, so the brand SERP is noisier than Bing — people who already know the name can find us.
Finding 2
Money keywords still do not
Service + place queries that buy work still do not show Lost Teddy on page one or in the Maps Pack in the last observed checks. The Grand Blanc listing is live; pack placement, citations, reviews, and time are what remain. No ranking guarantees.
Finding 3
Maps listing is live; street is hidden on the profile
JSON-LD names a Grand Blanc, Michigan service-area studio with no street, and sameAs points at the public Google Maps place. On 2026-08-31 the Lost Teddy Google Business Profile (lostteddyprod@gmail.com) hid the home street (deliveries and home services only) and set service areas to Grand Blanc, Fenton, and Brighton. On 2026-09-01 Linden and Holly were added. Maps search results can lag. A QuoteMasters ownership request from edward@quotemastershq.com was denied.
Finding 4
Geo landing is live
Client demos (e.g. Fenton Handyman) had city depth. The studio now has /services/michigan-local-seo on www, covering the corridor instead of a doorway farm. This finding is closed on-site. Rankings for those queries are not automatic.
Finding 5
Wedge pages are linked; they still need time
/services/local-seo, /services/michigan-local-seo, /services/website-design-michigan, /ranking-gap-checklist, and /search-visibility now get internal links from services, footer, and related CTAs. Exact-phrase “Ranking Gap Review” already surfaces the checklist. Money keywords still need the hidden-address Maps listing to mature — plus citations, reviews, outreach, and time.
One priority fix
Build the local entity. Keep the review dated. Do not fake page one.
Send Ranking Gap Email 1 drafts from docs/gtm-email1-drafts.md, then request Search Console indexing for /services/website-design-michigan (and re-check /search-visibility + /services/michigan-local-seo). Keep this note dated. No ranking guarantees.
- Send Email 1 from docs/gtm-email1-drafts.md (Moore, Hoffman, Cislo, Wagner form, Blakemore form) via Gmail — mark CSV emailed when sent.
- Request indexing in Search Console for /services/website-design-michigan, /search-visibility, and /services/michigan-local-seo.
- GBP service areas confirmed: Grand Blanc, Fenton, Brighton, Linden, Holly — keep Maps lag in mind.
- Re-check Maps and money keywords after the new website-design page indexes — still no ranking guarantees.
