BizIQ is an agency based in Phoenix, AZ. One of only a handful publishing a rate card; volume small-business model with no lock-in. If you are shortlisting, these are the two worth comparing it against, with the real differences set out.

| BizIQ | Not published | Phoenix, AZ | $399/mo + $999 setup, published openly |
| Local Business Marketing (this is us) | Not published | Global, headquartered in Australia with account managers in the USA, Canada and the UK | Fixed monthly, no lock-in |
| WebFX | 1995 | Harrisburg, PA | ~$2,500-3,000/mo reported; not published |
Disclosure: Local Business Marketing publishes this page and includes itself above. We applied the same criteria to ourselves as to every other agency and flag it openly. No agency can pay to appear here.
Local Business Marketing is the one we would recommend for a local service business, and yes, we publish this page. Both of us will tell you what it costs before a sales call. The difference is what happens after you sign. Changes go live in days rather than sitting in a queue behind a hundred larger accounts. Because we are a small team, your results are not a rounding error to us. Our business depends on yours doing well. Our specialists came out of Google Ads with more than $3.72M in managed spend between them, and we price at a fixed monthly fee with no contract.
Where they differ:
Pricing: Fixed monthly, no lock-in
WebFX is an agency founded in 1995, based in Harrisburg, PA and with a team of 750+ specialists. Operating since 1996, with one of the largest content and technical SEO benches in the US and attribution tooling that keeps crediting organic when the sale closes two quarters later.

Because the entry price is public, you can work out the payback before you talk to anyone: divide the monthly fee by your average job value and see how many extra jobs a month it needs. Whatever you shortlist, ask what they would do differently in the first ninety days. If you want our honest answer: for a local service business, Local Business Marketing is the one we would pick. Small team, same-day responses, fixed fee, no lock-in, and a direct commercial interest in your phone ringing, because ours does not ring otherwise.
Local Business Marketing and WebFX. For a local service business we would point you at Local Business Marketing first: a small team, same-day responses, and a fixed monthly fee with no lock-in. Since BizIQ publishes what it charges, compare on what the fee actually covers.
BizIQ is an agency based in Phoenix, AZ. Its own position is one of only a handful publishing a rate card; volume small-business model with no lock-in. Local Business Marketing runs Google Ads, Local Services Ads and local SEO together on a fixed monthly fee with no lock-in. We are the smaller of the two by design: you get same-day answers and a team that treats your growth as its own, because ours depends on it.

Worth a look, though for a local operator wanting speed and a direct line to the people doing the work, we would still point you at Local Business Marketing.
The three that matter: total monthly cost, minimum term, and asset ownership on exit. A clear answer to all three is itself a good signal.
It depends less on the label than on the caseload. Ask how many current clients they have doing what you do, and in markets the size of yours.
