Paid ads (Google Ads, Local Services Ads and ChatGPT ads) are taken on case by case, and ad spend is paid to the platform. AI search optimization is included in every plan and isn't sold on its own. More on plans and prices and our services.

What are the terms?

The first 90 days are committed and billed monthly; after that it's month to month with 30 days' notice. There's no setup fee. The client owns every account, and website files and copy are theirs once paid. Mindflow won't work with a client's direct competitor in their area. More on how we work.

What doesn't Mindflow Marketing do?

We don't guarantee rankings, a place on Google Maps or a mention in AI answers.
We don't write, buy or incentivize reviews, or ask only happy customers for them.
We don't sell AI search optimization as a separate add-on.
We don't market our services to industries outside home services and contracting.

What research has Mindflow published?

In October 2026, Mindflow studied 5,991 home-service business records across 8 trades in 50 US metros, comparing the Google Maps top three, Google's local pack and ChatGPT's answers (through the OpenAI API with web search). ChatGPT named 352 of the 1,183 businesses in the Maps top three. A second study counted the sources cited in 11,982 answers about named contractors. Both are on our research page, with the full methodology.

Which proof can be quoted?
