Name the competitor beating you.We’ll take the contract.

Hitman Marketing is a Clearwater, Florida agency that sells one thing: a fixed-price contract to beat the local competitor currently outranking you, in Google’s map pack and in the AI assistants, inside ninety days. Half the fee is due only if it lands, and one company per industry per city.

1.2%

of local businesses are recommended by ChatGPT. Gemini names 11%, Perplexity 7.4% — against 35.9% for Google’s local pack.

Roughly 45% of people now use an AI assistant to find a local service, up from about 6% a year ago, in BrightLocal’s 2026 consumer survey. The assistants have almost nothing to recommend, because the listings they read were never built.

ChatGPT pulls most of its local answers from Foursquare. Siri uses Apple Business Connect. Copilot uses Bing Places. Every local SEO company in Pinellas County optimizes Google Business Profile and nothing else — which serves exactly one assistant.

That gap is open today. It will not be open in two years.

What we do

AI Search (GEO)

Your customers ask ChatGPT before they ask Google. We make you the answer.

SEO

The full search stack for local service businesses — priced in the open.

AI Operations

Every lead captured, qualified, routed, and followed up — automatically.

Websites

Fast, server-rendered, and structured so both Google and AI can read it.

How we work

The Contract Method

Four stages, fixed checkpoints, deliverables written as counts. You always know what is happening and what we need from you.

How it works

01
Recon
We find out what AI assistants and Google actually say about you today, what your competitors have that you don't, and where the leaks are. Measured, not guessed.
02
Target
One objective per engagement, with deliverables written down as counts rather than adjectives. You know exactly what ships and when.
03
Execute
Listings, site, content, automation — built in the order that produces visible movement soonest, not the order that is easiest to invoice.
04
Confirm
Monthly reporting that shows the trend and states its own limitations. If something isn't working, you hear it from us first.

What you get that most agencies won’t give you

Half on result

Published prices

Every tier, every deliverable, every number on one page. Almost no agency in Pinellas County does this.

You own everything

Domain, hosting, website, Google Business Profile, ad accounts, analytics. We hold delegated access, never the keys.

Honest measurement

AI visibility is non-deterministic and AI referral traffic is under-counted. We say so in every report instead of burying it.

A guarantee with an edge on it

Nobody can guarantee a position, and anyone who does is selling. We guarantee something narrower and checkable: beating one named competitor on one agreed set of queries.

Deliverables as counts

Two posts of up to 1,200 words. Four profile posts. One report. Not 'ongoing content' or 'as needed'.

Six months, then monthly

Long enough for the work to land, short enough that we have to keep earning it. Thirty days' notice after that.

Roofers & storm restoration ● HVAC & air conditioning ● Plumbers & drain services ● Marine, boating & charters ● Restaurants & hospitality ● Local retail & shops

Who we work with

Service businesses where a missed lead costs real money and a job is worth hundreds or thousands, not tens.

We only publish a page for a vertical we can prove we understand. More are added as we take on work in them — see all industries.

Common questions

What does Hitman Marketing actually do?: One thing, sold as a contract: beat the local business currently outranking you, in Google's map pack and in assistants like ChatGPT, inside ninety days for a published price. Listings, website and automation work all still happen — that is how the contract gets delivered, not a separate menu.

Why do you publish your prices?: Because hiding them wastes everyone's time and almost nobody local does it. Published pricing filters out the people we are wrong for, shortens the conversation with the people we are right for, and happens to be what AI assistants quote when someone asks what an agency in Clearwater costs.
Do you only work with Clearwater businesses?: We prefer local — being able to visit a job site produces better work, and a Clearwater address is what makes map pack rankings possible here. But AI search and automation work is location-independent, and we take clients across Tampa Bay and beyond.

How quickly will I see results?: Listing and AI visibility work often moves in two to six weeks, which is unusually fast. Map pack rankings take three to five months. Organic rankings for competitive terms take six to ten. Automation shows up immediately, because it fixes leakage rather than creating demand.
What happens if I want to leave?: You take everything, because you already own it — domain, hosting, website, Google Business Profile, ad accounts, analytics. Retainers run six months, then month to month with thirty days' notice. Nothing needs recovering, because nothing was held.
