Spearleaf is a Fort Myers marketing agency that helps Southwest Florida businesses rank in Google Maps and get recommended by ChatGPT. Owners who need help getting found online get local SEO, Google Business Profile work and AI search optimization from me directly. The office is at 11000 Metro Pkwy, and businesses across the country use the same system for more consistent lead flow.
Fort Myers is home base, not the edge of the map. Spearleaf is a digital marketing agency for single-location service businesses, multi-location groups and national brands.
The flagship service is AI search optimization, which helps a business get recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. The local SEO and SEO services underneath it give those answers something to cite.
One small-business owner put the problem plainly: "I searched my business on Google, and nothing showed up." Being invisible online is the first thing I measure.

Google names three local ranking factors, and distance from the searcher is one. An agency from out of state can miss which towns you serve and which you don't.
Here's the playbook behind Google Map Pack visibility and near me searches in every town you serve.
Google Business Profile optimization for more phone calls from Google Maps
An SEO audit of your site and listings, then technical SEO fixes
Local citations and NAP consistency across the business listings that matter
Location pages and structured data for each town you serve
Review generation and reputation management on Google
Local link building from real, relevant sites in your market
Customer reactivation campaigns for past customers
Revenue tracking on calls and forms instead of vanity dashboards
