   From Clickflame. This is Smoke and Receipts. The hype goes up in smoke. We bring the receipts.

2. 0:12Justin

   Alright, we're back. Marcus. Today's a little different.

3. 0:16Marcus

   Different how?

4. 0:18Justin

   Today we put ourselves on the stand. People keep asking what Clickflame actually does. So we're running our own receipts.

5. 0:24Marcus

   Ooh. Nobody does that. I love it.

6. 0:29Justin

   Here's the hype we hear all the time. A local business has to spend thousands a month on ads just to get the phone ringing.

7. 0:36Marcus

   Mm. The ad rental plan.

8. 0:39Justin

   The ad rental plan! So what do we do instead?

9. 0:42Marcus

   We go after search. When somebody in your town types mobile mechanic near me, or roofer, or locksmith, you show up. On Google, on the map, and more and more in the A.I. answers too.

10. 0:56Justin

    And what's the difference between that and ads?

11. 0:59Marcus

    Ads are rent. The day you stop paying, the calls stop. A site that ranks is something you own.

12. 1:08Justin

    Okay. Walk 'em through how it actually works. Step by step.

13. 1:12Marcus

    Step one. We look at your site the way a customer does. On a phone. How long until the main picture shows up. How heavy the page is. Whether Google can even read it. Whether you're listed on the big directories.

14. 1:27Justin

    And it's usually ugly.

15. 1:29Marcus

    It's usually ugly. We looked at one site where the main picture took seventeen point six seconds to show up on a phone.

16. 1:37Justin

    Seventeen seconds? Nobody waits seventeen seconds. I don't wait seventeen seconds for anything.

17. 1:43Marcus

    Our rebuild of that same site? About one second.

18. 1:47Justin

    Get outta here.

19. 1:48Marcus

    One second. And that's step two. We build you the whole new site. Your logo, your photos, your real business facts. Built before you pay a dime.

20. 2:00Justin

    Wait, wait, wait. Before they pay?

21. 2:02Marcus

    Before they pay. We build the site and host it for free.

22. 2:07Justin

    So where's the catch? There's always a catch, Marcus.

23. 2:10Marcus

    No catch. It's just the business model. We give away the expensive part, the site. What you pay for is the work that gets you found. S.E.O. starts at eight hundred dollars a month. Month to month. No long contract.

24. 2:26Justin

    Month to month. So if it's not working, they walk.

25. 2:30Marcus

    They walk. Which means we gotta keep earning it.

26. 2:33Justin

    I respect that. Okay, step three. What's the ongoing work?

27. 2:37Marcus

    Real pages for every service and every city you cover. Questions answered the way customers actually ask them. Fresh articles. Photos tagged to the places you work. We get you on the directories you're missing, and we earn links from real outside sites. Then we check what Google and the A.I. tools are actually picking up, and we do more of what works.

28. 2:59Justin

    Now who's this for? 'Cause somebody's listening right now going, is this me?

29. 3:03Marcus

    Local service businesses. Mechanics. Roofers. Locksmiths. Movers. Bail bonds. Home services. The mom and pop shops that do great work and get buried online.

30. 3:18Justin

    And we're not guessing about what these owners deal with.

31. 3:20Marcus

    Nope. This is the part people don't believe. Our founder ran a small marketing firm for years. Then he built an auto repair shop from scratch, and ran it himself. So he knows exactly what a quiet Tuesday feels like. He lived it.

32. 3:36Justin

    The quiet Tuesday. Man.

33. 3:40Marcus

    And here's one thing running that shop taught us. A quote closes in the first hour, or it usually doesn't close. So everything we build gets the customer an answer fast. Period.

34. 3:51Justin

    Alright. Verdict time.

35. 3:55Justin

    A local business has to spend thousands a month on ads to get the phone ringing. Marcus. Smoke, or receipts?

36. 4:03Marcus

    Smoke.

37. 4:06Justin

    Smoke. Ads can work. But you don't have to rent your phone calls forever. Get a site that's fast, get found in search, and own it. And at Clickflame, we build the whole thing before you pay a dime. That's the receipt.

38. 4:20Marcus

    Talk is cheap.

39. 4:21Justin

    We are action.
