Quick update on our Category Of One Mastermind. We’ve had a lot of interest… and a number of you have reached out to us asking the same thing: “Is there a way to make the payments a little easier to start?” So Mike and I put our heads together and thought… ...what if we just structured this in a way where you can get in, implement, and actually fund it from a deal? That’s the whole idea. And just so we’re clear… This is the exact system that allowed Mike and I to close a $10K deal, a $12.5K deal, and a $49K deal in the past 2 months. That’s $71K in business… ...from the exact same system we’re going to help you build and install in your agency over the next 6 weeks. Our goal is simple: You close a deal before your third payment is even due. One client… And you’re covered. If that was the thing holding you back, you can check everything out here: → Check Out Our Extended Payment Options Here Best, Brian and Mike Maps Liftoff | Local Visibility Systems P.S. We have a hard limit of 10 spots, since this is not a course and we’re building this with you. With @Mike Clay

I need to tell you about something that's quietly killing agencies right now. It's not AI. It's not competition. It's not even pricing. Here's what's happening... Most local agencies are still selling like it's 2015. "We do SEO." "We'll rank you in maps." "We'll get you to the top of Google." And it works. Kind of. They close deals at $500 to $1,500 a month. Clients get leads. Everyone's happy. Except the sales calls keep getting harder. More objections. More "let me think about it." More price shopping. Here's the thing most agency owners don't realize... They're not losing because they're bad at SEO. They're losing because they sound exactly like everyone else. When a business owner is evaluating you today, they're spending 7 hours consuming content across 11 different touch points, on 4 different platforms-over 62 DAYS before they even get on a call. They're checking Google. Reading reviews. Asking ChatGPT. Scrolling Reddit. Watching YouTube. And if all you have is a maps listing and a website that says "we do SEO"... ...you look exactly the same as the other three agencies they're talking to. So they default to price. Remember when taxis owned every city in America? In 2009, there were over 200,000 taxi drivers in the US. They had the licenses. The infrastructure. Decades of dominance. Then Uber launched in 2010. By 2015, taxi medallions in New York that were worth $1.3 MILLION dropped to $250,000. By 2020, most cities barely had taxis anymore. It happened in less than a decade. And it happened right under everyone's noses. Taxi drivers kept saying "people will always need cabs." They kept doing what they'd always done. Meanwhile Uber positioned themselves differently. They weren't just "a ride." They were convenience, transparency, and trust. The taxis didn't get worse. The game just changed and they didn't adapt. Right now, agencies are doing the same thing. They're operating in the "search economy" when we've moved to the "recommendation economy."

Big personal injury law firm...they were talking to four other agencies. All of them cheaper. 20 minutes after our call ended, they had signed with us for $49,000. For only 90 days of work. (With more coming after that.) What happened on that call? Hint: We weren't selling what the other agencies were selling. While they pitched SEO services and rankings... We had identified their real problem. And positioned ourselves as a Category of One. THE. ONLY. SOLUTION. By the time we hung up, the other four agencies were done. They didn't even know they'd lost. Today Mike and I are breaking down the entire call. What we said. What we didn't say. How we got inside their head. And why they paid us $49K when they could've paid someone else $1,500/month. Watch it here >>> Brian and Mike P.S. - Tomorrow we open only 10 spots in the Category Of One Mastermind. This breakdown shows you exactly what we're going to teach you. Watch it now while you are thinking about it. P.P.S. - If you hate watching videos, we included a PDF video transcript at the link above. With @Mike Clay

For 20 years Mike and I have helped over 5,000 agencies get clients ranked at the top of search and more importantly, maps. But something is happening. Clients are ranking #1… …and the phone is not ringing like it used to. Why? Because we have quietly moved from a search economy to a recommendation economy. I explain what that means in this short video. Watch It Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1flc1vazzqY&t=9s Now for the fun part. Over the next several days we are going to show you something we have been building behind the scenes. It is designed to solve one of the biggest problems agencies are facing right now. How do you prove your value and help your clients win in a recommendation economy where rankings alone are not enough? More coming this week. Brian and Mike Maps Liftoff | Local AI Visibility Systems P.S. If this sounds interesting, comment below "behind the scenes." If we get enough replies we may even do a case study about how we just closed a $49K client using this.

Quick question: When was the last time a prospect asked for your price before they even got on a call with you? Probably recently, right? Here's why that's happening: You're being compared. When prospects research you, they find a website, maybe a Maps listing, some reviews. Same thing they find when they research the three other agencies they're looking at. So they compare. And when people compare, they choose based on price. That's why you're stuck at $500-$1,500 retainers while a small group of agencies are closing $5K, $10K, even $49K deals. The difference? They understand something most agencies don't. The game changed. It's not about rankings anymore. It's about being found everywhere. Today we recorded a full breakdown of exactly what Mike and I call a High-Ticket Proof Stack...what it is, why it works, and how it positions you so you stop being compared and start being chosen. Watch it here >>> This is going to click a lot of things into place. Brian and Mike P.S. - Tomorrow we're breaking down the full $49K case study. How we used this exact framework to close a client in 20 minutes. P.P.S. - Thursday we go live with our brand new Category Of One Mastermind. Only 10 spots available and we expect to sell out fast. Watch tomorrow for the full $49K breakdown. With @Mike Clay
