Michigan Home Inspector Marketing, From Metro Detroit to the Lakeshore and Up North.

Ideally in late fall or winter. Local SEO takes ninety to one-hundred-eighty days to mature, so pages and profile work started between November and January are the ones ranking when listings climb in March and April. If it is already spring, Google Ads and profile improvements can still produce calls within thirty to forty-five days while the organic side catches up.

Plans are $197, $750, and $1,500 per month, month to month, with no setup fee. Ad spend is separate. We typically suggest $800 to $2,000 per month to start in Metro Detroit and Ann Arbor, and $600 to $1,200 in Grand Rapids, Lansing, Kalamazoo, or northern Michigan.

Yes. Well and septic evaluations are searched separately from general inspections across rural and suburban Michigan. We build dedicated pages by county, add the services to your Google Business Profile, and run focused ad groups. Because requirements vary locally, the content explains what you inspect and defers to the relevant county health department on rules.

One city at a time, starting where you already have customers. Google treats Troy, Livonia, Sterling Heights, and the rest as separate local markets. We build a page for each priority city, collect reviews that mention those cities, keep citations consistent, and expand outward as each area starts to rank. Trying to target all of southeast Michigan at once spreads the effort too thin.

Usually yes. Second-home buyers in northern Michigan are often from outside the area and choose an inspector almost entirely from search results and reviews. A page for each area you serve, clear travel pricing, and content about seasonal-property issues — wells, septic, crawlspaces, shoreline — can make that a reliable line of business.

No. Every plan is month to month. Given Michigan's seasonality, many clients adjust their tier and ad budget through the year, and there is no penalty for doing so.

A written report within five business days covering your Google Business Profile, your map rankings in the Michigan cities and counties you serve, website speed and conversion, review strength against local competitors, citation accuracy, and any active ad campaigns — with a prioritized list of what to fix first. No call is required to receive it.

Yes. We regularly reinstate suspended profiles for service-area businesses, including inspection companies. Mention the suspension on the audit form so we can look at the likely cause first. Properly prepared appeals usually resolve in seven to twenty-one days.
