What $199 actually gets you
Not a listing upgrade. A full workup, done by hand, by a local who knows Athens. Here's every piece. No fine print, no "starting at."
Top of your category
Your listing moves to the first spot in its category, the one people see before they scroll. Gold border, Premium badge, unlimited photos.
A full write-up about your business
Not a blurb. A 150-250 word description written for search and AI answer engines: your services, your area, what makes you worth calling, and the questions customers actually ask.
Your Google Business Profile optimized
Categories, services, photos, hours, links: every field that decides whether Google shows you to someone searching nearby. Done with you on the phone, not behind your back.
Every unanswered review, answered
Every review you missed gets a reply by name, mentioning the specific service. Or I write drafts you approve and post yourself.
30 days of social media posts
A doc of ready-to-copy posts: service explainers, seasonal Athens hooks (UGA calendar, game days), FAQ answers, review highlights. You just paste.
A visibility report
A side-by-side of you and 3-5 competitors: their reviews, their website, their Google presence, what the workup just fixed, and the gap that's left.
Appointment requests on your listing
A form right on your page that goes straight to you. Nobody has to hunt for your phone number to ask for a booking.
Monthly stats + a 15-minute call
Every month you see how many people viewed your listing, clicked through, and sent requests. I walk you through all of it on a 15-minute call.
The part most directories can't give you: AI search
More locals ask ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, or their phone "who's a good plumber in Athens?" instead of scrolling ten blue links. Here's how Premium gets you into those answers.
Every listing on Classic City List is a crawlable page. 3,600+ Athens businesses, each with its own URL and structured data. That's the raw material Google and AI answer engines pull from.
Your Premium write-up is built to be cited. Services, service area, plain facts, and the real questions customers ask, written in the format answer engines quote when someone asks "who should I hire?"
Your Google Business Profile gets fixed at the same time. AI answers and the Google map pack both lean on your Google data. I work through every field that decides whether you show up, with you on the phone.

How it works
Pay once for a full year
Find your business below, enter your email, and check out through Stripe. Your card statement will read SHOWYOUKNOWME LLC. No subscription, no auto-renew.
Kickoff email within the hour
I send a personal email asking for a few photos and, if you're comfortable, Google Business Profile access. Neither is required to get started.
The workup, done within 7 days
Your listing moves to the top. Description written, Google profile optimized, reviews answered, social pack delivered, visibility report filled in. All by hand.
15-minute walkthrough call
I show you everything that was done, walk the report, and point to the one gap that's left. If there's a next step, that's where it comes up. No hard sell.

Questions you might have
Is this a subscription?
No. $199 once, for a full year. There's no auto-renew and nothing to cancel. You'll get a heads-up before the year is up, and you decide what happens next.
What if I don't like it?
Full refund until the workup begins. After that, the work is the product: you've already received the listing placement, the write-up, the Google optimization, the review responses, the social pack, and the report. No subscriptions, no auto-renew, no cancellation dance.
My business already has a listing with wrong info
The search above finds your existing listing. Select it, check out, and Michael fixes everything during the workup: wrong address, bad hours, missing phone, all of it.
What if I'm not tech-savvy?
You don't need to be. Tell Michael about your business and he handles the rest. If you can use a phone and check your email, you can do this.
Do I need to give you my Google password?
No. If you want the Google Business Profile optimization, Michael sends a Manager invite link, which gives access to your profile without sharing your password. If you'd rather not, that part converts to written recommendations you can follow yourself.
Can I add services later?
Yes. After the Premium workup, Michael offers ongoing help: website updates, Google profile management, review responses, and ads. Month to month, only if it fits. Premium renewal is comped for as long as you're a retainer client.
How long does Premium last?
One year from the date of purchase. No auto-renew: you'll get a heads-up before it expires, and you decide whether to continue. The workup is done once; the listing stays at the top for the full year.
