How long before incoming calls?

First Search Console signals at 4-6 weeks, first qualified calls at 8-12 weeks, baseline plateau around 6-9 months depending on neighborhood competition. For Peinture Magistrale, top-3 Maps Rosemont was reached in under 6 months.

Can my Google reviews really be cited by ChatGPT?

Yes, when Review schema is properly embedded in the LocalBusiness page with author, datePublished and reviewRating, LLMs (Perplexity, ChatGPT search, Gemini) consume this data and cite the business as a source. That's the GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) pillar we install by default.

Common objections

Your questions, our answers

Maps captures 30-40% of local searches, the rest goes through standard Google, Bing, Perplexity. Without structured technical pages (LocalBusiness schema, indexed reviews, noscript fallback), a tradesman stays invisible on 'kitchen cabinet painter Plateau' or 'limewash Montréal'. That's what we fixed.
