One person does the work and answers your email.
Cascade Analytics is a founder-led practice based in Pittsburgh, working only with service-trade businesses in this metro.
Most agencies sell you to a partner and hand you to an account manager, who forwards your questions to someone you've never met. By month four you're getting a slide deck about impressions and nobody explains why you dropped to position six in Wexford.
Here, the person who audits your profile is the person who fixes it, tracks it, writes the report, and replies when you write in. No account managers, no offshore handoff.
The tradeoff is deliberate: a small client roster, all in the Pittsburgh metro, all in the trades. Working one market in a handful of trades is the fastest way to learn which levers move rankings in Mt. Lebanon versus Monroeville, and which are busywork. We built the practice on this bet.
No contracts longer than a month. If the work stops producing, you leave. No phone call to a retention team.
