What the work usually is
- Treatment pages that publish a price range, because the AI answers quote the ones that do.
- The Google Business Profile and review flow fixed, since the map pack decides most of these.
- Before-and-after posts written and scheduled where the route runs through Instagram.
- Schema on treatment and price pages.
