Here’s What Happened in 30 Days 🔥

Hey everyone 👋

Just wanted to share a quick mini case study from one of my recent local lead-gen sites (Plumbing niche).

The site is just 1 month old, and here’s the data from Google Search Console.

Not bad for a fresh domain, right? 😎

Now here’s the interesting part — I didn’t do any heavy black hat or PBN. What really made the difference was solid niche research — choosing the right local keywords and service areas with decent volume but low competition.

After that, all I focused on was Solid NAP Consistency and High-Quality Local Citations across top Directories. Citations helped the site get indexed faster and start showing up for local intent keywords like “emergency plumber near me” and “plumbing service in [city name].”

Many people underestimate citations, but in local lead-gen, they’re like your Foundation for ranking in maps and organic results. Once Google sees consistent business info across the web, it builds trust faster and boosts local visibility.

⚠️ I’ve noticed many people jump into black hat or PBNs hoping for quick earnings — but that often leads to penalties and lost domains. If you’re planning to build a long-term, stable local website, then Local Citations and Foundation Backlinks are more than enough to start generating calls and leads safely.

If anyone here is building local lead-gen sites (especially in home services, HVAC, plumbing, or restoration niches), I can share my citation process and even help with manual USA local citation building — it really speeds up indexing and map visibility 🚀

Just drop a comment or DM if you’d like to see the full list I use.
