The $297/Mo Service You Can Run in 30 Minutes a Month

0:00Would you sell a $297 a month service if you knew that it took less than 30 minutes a month to deliver? Imagine this. A local business pays you $297 a month to manage their Google reviews. Once a month, you open one screen, check the replies that were automatically posted to their reviews, send the owner a quick update, and you're done until next month. And I know that probably sounds way too simple to be a real service. So, if your first thought is, "There's got to be more to it than that." I get it. But, there really isn't. But, of course, I'm just some random guy on the internet. So, rather

0:31than just telling you it works and expecting you to believe me, I want to show you exactly what you're doing for that $297 from the one-time setup to the actual 20-minute monthly routine, so you can see it for yourself. Because once you see the whole thing from start to finish, I think you're going to realize that selling and delivering the service is a whole lot easier than you're probably imagining. So, here's what an entire month of work actually looks like for one client in three steps. First, you open the reviews page and see all

0:56the new reviews that came in that month. Second, you handle the one review that actually needs you. And third, you send the business owner his numbers. That's it, man. Takes about 20 minutes to do all of this. But, as simple as this is, there's a reason that a lot of people still don't feel comfortable offering it, especially when they're just getting started, because I've had the same feeling myself. Years ago, before I ever got into marketing, I got hired to fly a business jet, even though I'd never flown a jet before. Needless to say, I was like way under-qualified. I mean, jets are fast, and I was going to be

1:26expected to fly this thing into some of the busiest airports in the world, including New York and London and Paris. So, for weeks before the training, I sat in an office, an incredibly uncomfortable office chair, surrounded by these cardboard cutouts of the cockpit. And for around 4 hours a day, I'd run through all of the checklists, and I'd poke at the cardboard cockpit pretending that I was flipping switches, all that stuff. And I got to be honest, I felt ridiculous pushing all these cardboard buttons. But then, I passed the course, and suddenly all of that prep work didn't seem so silly, especially considering that there were

1:57other captains in my class with thousands of hours behind them, and they didn't pass. And the reason I passed and so many other more qualified pilots didn't, well, had nothing to do with experience or talent or confidence or anything like that, cuz I was missing all of those. What it really came down to was reps. By the time I sat in the real cockpit, it wasn't my first time through that sequence. I'd already run through all of the drills hundreds of times before. And that's the whole point of this video. I want to show you the entire system step-by-step so that you can see exactly what it is. So, the

2:29first time you run one for real, you'll already know what the screen looks like and what you're supposed to do with it. And I know this system works because I built three seven-figure agencies, worked with over 1,500 small businesses, and run thousands of campaigns. And today, I do it all as a one-person agency with zero employees. So, this isn't something that I just read about somewhere. This is what I actually do every single day. Now, here's where I want to pause for a second because maybe you're not running an agency, and maybe you don't plan on starting one. Maybe you're just looking for a real way to

2:58build income online, and you've watched a hundred other videos just like this one, but that never actually panned out. So, if that's you, you're exactly who this is for because all you need is one problem to solve and one simple system that solves it. No tech skills, no audience required. And that's what I'm going to show you. So, let's say you just signed your first client. His name's Mike, and he owns an electrical business in Madison, Wisconsin. And he's paying you $297 a month to manage his Google reviews. He adds you as a manager on his Google Business Profile, and now it's time to set everything up. And I

3:31want to be clear, this initial setup is where most of the work happens. The reason next month only takes about 20 minutes is because you're doing the heavy lifting right here up front. So, here's how it goes. First, you clean up the Google Business Profile itself. You fill in whatever's missing, you rewrite the description using the words already on his website, and you go back and reply to the old reviews just sitting there unanswered. That last part is tedious, but it's a one-time job and it's the most visible change that you're going to make all month. For photos, you don't take them. All you do is text or

4:02email Mike and you ask for them and here's exactly what you say, word for word. Feel free to screenshot this or write it down. Hey Mike, one thing I need from you. Next time you're on a job, can you take five or six photos on your phone and text them to me? Trucks, the crew, finished work, doesn't need to

4:18be fancy, I'll take care of the rest. Okay. Second thing, you set up the part that actually brings in new reviews. You see, after Mike finishes a job, somebody should send that customer a message asking for a review. Now, technically, Mike could do that himself. He could keep a notepad by the truck and he could text every customer that night. That would work. He's just not going to do it and neither are you once you've got a few clients. So, the only real job here is making sure that this happens automatically every single time without anybody having to remember. That's why we use software. Now, the software I use

4:51to run all of this is called HighLevel and it's also what I use to run my entire one-person agency without any employees. Inside HighLevel, I've built a system I call the review engine, which handles the review requests, the follow-ups, and the automatic replies. Does it all for you. And the good news here is you don't have to build any of this yourself. You can import my review engine directly into your account. I'll show you how to get HighLevel, the extended free trial, and all the bonuses in just a second, but first, I want you to understand exactly how the review engine works and what's happening behind

5:20the scenes. So, here's what it does. After every completed job, the customer gets a friendly check-in that doesn't ask for anything. Then, a couple hours later, a review request with the Google link goes out. And then, if the customer still hasn't left a review, a single short reminder goes out a day or two later and then it stops. Now, one thing here is not optional, which is that every single customer gets the exact same message and the exact same Google link. You never You to send only the customers you think are happy to leave a review, and you never want to offer anybody some kind of valuable bribe in

5:51exchange for a good review. To stay compliant with Google's terms of service, we send the same message with the same Google review link to every single customer. Now, seeing as the entire review request automation goes out automatically, a question that pretty much always comes up here is, "How does the system know when a job is done?" Well, it's actually pretty simple. You see, the business already

6:11creates that signal every single day. This could be an invoice going out, a job getting marked as complete in their booking software, whatever they already use. And worst case, if they don't have any of that set up, and most people do, well, the owner can literally just text the system the customer's info, and that

6:27text kicks off the whole sequence. Everything after that's automatic. Okay, so at this point, you've cleaned up their Google Business Profile, and you've set up the automation, the review engine here. So, now we're under the third step. Inside the reputation settings, you're going to turn on the review replies, turn them to automatic, and then you're going to choose which reviews the system is allowed to reply to automatically. The way I set it up is that four and five-star reviews get

6:51answered automatically on a short delay. Anything below that doesn't get responded to until you at least have a chance to look at it. Now, I want you to sit with that for a second, because this keeps an automatic reply from making a bad review even worse. The happy customers, though, which is most of them, they get a warm reply within the hour without you having to touch anything. The unhappy ones, they wait for you, a human, to take a look and respond. And, well, that's your

7:15afternoon. One to two hours, one time. Okay, so now let's fast forward 30 days from here. It's a month later. So, now here's what you do. You sit down with a coffee or tea or beverage of your choice, and you open the reviews page. Let's say nine new reviews came in this month. Eight of them are good, and one of them, not so good. And here's the part that surprises most people. Those eight good reviews already have replies posted underneath them. Not drafts, but actual posted responses that went out all on their own within about 15 minutes of each review landing. And all of this happened while you were asleep or at

7:49your day job or doing something else entirely. For example, Sarah left five stars, mentioned the panel upgrade, mentioned it got done the same day, and the reply underneath it mentions the panel upgrade, too. And it's been sitting there publicly for 3 weeks. So, your job on those eight positive reviews is just to read them, not to write them, not to approve them, just skim them real quick and make sure that they actually sound like an electrician in this case and not a robot. Now, real quick here, if you want the review engine that's writing those replies, here's the fastest way to get it. I've got a link

8:19in the description below this video where you can grab an extended 30-day free trial of HighLevel. And when you start through my link, you'll also unlock my complete Agency OS, which has over $10,000 in pre-built funnels and follow-up automations and client outreach scripts and sales scripts and a 90-day launch road map, all installed

8:36into your account with one click. There's private community access, as well, and a whole lot more, and the link's in the description below. So, that takes care of the eight good reviews. Now, let's look at the one that actually needs your attention, the bad one. You see, Dave, he gave two stars, said the crew showed up 3 hours late on Thursday, and there's no reply under it at all because you told the system not to touch anything under four stars. So, this is the one that you handle yourself, and that's the one piece of real work in your entire month, and it takes about 4 minutes. Now, this doesn't

9:06mean that you've got to go out there and write a reply from scratch. You can get AI to help if you're not sure what to say, and I'll show you how to do that in just a second. But first, I want to be honest here about why this one gets your attention instead of just going out automatically. You see, the software is good, like really good, and in all likelihood, it could probably write something totally passable here. But a response to a negative review is the exact kind of thing that a random customer is going to read when they're deciding whether or not to call Mike or

9:35the next electrician on the list. So, it helps to consider this the 4 minutes that Mike is actually paying you for. Now, as far as responses go and how to come up with them, I'm going to give you a response that I wrote. You can copy and paste this into your AI of choice, ChatGPT, Claude, or whatever, and then ask it to respond to whatever negative review you want using the style and tone and format. So, here's what I said. Hi Dave, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. We know how frustrating it is when a job doesn't go as expected,

10:03and being on time is important to us. Please give the office a call and ask for Mike so we can look into what happened and make this right. Now, there's three things that are going on in that reply. First, you're going to acknowledge the complaint. Second, you don't argue about the details publicly. And third, you move the conversation off

10:21Google and into a phone call. That's it. Now, one important rule here, because this is Mike's business and not your business, if there is something that needs to be offered like money back or a free callout or anything that's going to cost them money, it's not your job to offer it. Instead, what you want to do is send him a quick two-line heads-up and then let him decide. But, let me show you exactly what that message to Mike is going to look like. Hey Mike, quick heads-up. Dave from Thursday left a two-star review about the late arrival. I replied publicly and asked him to call the office and speak with

10:49you directly. Okay, so that's steps one and two. Now, time for the third step where you send Mike a quick monthly update so he can see exactly what changed and what he's paying you for. Because, just think about it for a second from Mike's side. He's paying you $297 a month, but most of that work is happening quietly in the background. I mean, you and I both know that stuff's been happening, but he hasn't seen any of it. And one of the most important things to understand if you want to succeed with clients and get them better results and make a whole lot more money is to understand that people cancel

11:19services where they're not really sure what's being done, even when the work is actually getting done. So, you're going to show him by just pulling up his dashboard and then just sending him a quick message. Not a 72-page report, not a PowerPoint deck, not a meeting, just a quick screenshot of the dashboard, and then this one simple message. Hey Mike, quick update for the month. You picked up nine new reviews, which puts you at

11:4125 total, up from 16 the day we started. Every one of them's been replied to, including the two-star from Dave, which I handled personally. I'll send you the next update in a month. Now, you might want to write that message down, or feel free to screenshot that as well, because that message is doing a lot of work. First of all, it tells him that the number actually moved, and it tells him that a human was paying attention on the one review that actually mattered. And then, next month, you send the same message with the next number. 16, then

12:0725, then 34, whatever they happen to be. That's the month. Nine reviews came in, eight of them answered themselves, one of them got your hands on it, one message sent. Most months probably take you 15 to 20 minutes. I usually just say 30 minutes though, because I'd rather overestimate the time than make it sound easier than it is. Now, is that everything that you're ever going to do for the client? Well, not quite. A few times a year, you might ask Mike for some fresh photos, or update the profile if his hours or his business information changes. But, those are occasional updates that take a few minutes. So,

12:40they're not really part of the regular monthly work. Now, I want you to see how this grows, because one client at $297 a month is just the starting point. 10 clients on this exact same system is nearly $3,000 a month, run from your laptop in about 15 to 20 minutes per client per month. But, where things get really interesting is that once a client trusts you with their reviews, you can add more services to that same client, one at a time. And that's how one small $297 a month service grows into a real one-person agency, one that pays you every month, and gives you control over

13:10your own schedule. But, don't worry about selling any of that today. Today is about one business and one simple fix. Now, the nice thing here is that the numbers are pretty simple. Everything I've shown you runs inside HighLevel, and the plan I'd recommend is the $297 a month unlimited plan, which gives you unlimited client accounts. That means your very first client covers your entire software cost and every

13:30client after that is nearly pure profit. Texts, calls, and AI usage add small costs as you grow, so you build those into your price. And you only have to set this up once. After that, you can copy the same system from my AgencyOS into each new client account and make a few small changes for their business. Now, quick tip for when you're signing up for your free trial, and this is just me looking out for you, you're going to see a few different plan options and I

13:54just go with the $297 unlimited plan. That's the one that gives you unlimited client accounts, which is everything you need to run what I've been showing you. You really don't need the $497 plan to start. The $297 plan is more than enough. And hate to see you paying for stuff you're not going to use. And just so it's clear, you get full access to my AgencyOS and all of the bonuses, no matter which plan you pick. So, there's no wrong answer here. Plus, it's a free trial anyway and you can always upgrade or downgrade later, so don't overthink this one. Okay, I've got three quick warnings that I need to share with you

14:22before you go do this. Warning number one, only promise results you can actually control. You control completing the profile and installing the review engine and replying to reviews and reporting the numbers. Google, on the other hand, controls the rankings and customers control whether or not they leave a review. So, promise the work, never the rankings. Warning number two, don't get bored and start doing more. I see this one wreck people all the time and it kills me. 20 minutes feels too easy, so you start sending Mike these long reports he didn't ask for or you offer him a monthly call. And now you've got a client who costs you

14:56two hours a month instead of 20 minutes and pays you exactly the same. Making money should feel boring sometimes. The fact that this system is simple to offer and simple to deliver, that's a good thing. If you get bored, just that's cool. Go get more clients, make more money. And warning number three, this one's the biggest. I don't want you to think like you need a whole bunch of clients before this counts as a real business. You don't need 10 clients on day one. You don't even need two. All you need is one local business who's willing to let you try this. Even if it's your dentist or your

15:27barber or a shop you already walk into every week. Then, fix their Google listing, turn on the review engine, and screenshot how their profile looked before versus a month after you started working together. Because that one before and after screenshot becomes the proof that you show the next business, and the next one after that. So, here's exactly what I do right now. Grab the extended 30-day free trial through the link in the description below. Import the review engine into your account and run it on one business. Could be yours or a friend's or whoever is going to say yes first. Then, a month from now, you'll know exactly what happens after

16:00somebody says yes because you'll have already done it once. But, here's the thing. Everything I just showed you today is just one piece of how a one-person agency actually works. If you want the full picture, how to pick your niche, and how to price your services, and how to put every system together, I've put together a complete free masterclass that I've got linked up right here that's going to walk you

16:20through the entire thing step-by-step. So, make sure to tap or click that now. I'll see you in there in just a second.
