About GScales

I’m Nick. I grew up in Niagara Falls.

GScales is me — one person helping local businesses get found on Google and turn that into calls. When you work with GScales, you work with me.

My story

How I ended up doing this.

  1. 1

    Always worked with my hands

    School was never my path. I went to work instead — detailing cars, fixing buses, renovations.

  2. 2

    Worked for people who built something

    Almost everyone I worked for owned their own business. I wanted to know how they did it.

  3. 3

    Learned the hard way

    I started a pressure washing business. Bought the equipment. Couldn’t find the customers.

  4. 4

    Came home and started GScales

    I started with video for local businesses, then added Google ranking and websites — because content alone doesn’t make the phone ring.

That pressure washing business is why I do this. Doing good work doesn’t matter if nobody can find you. I’ve been on that side of it.

How I work

Local, direct, and measured.

01

You talk to me

No account managers and no hand-offs. You call me, and you get an update from me every Friday.

02

I can drive to you

I only take businesses in the Niagara region, so I can meet you, film on site, and know your streets.

03

You see the results

Your Google ranking is mapped at day 1 and day 90, so you can judge the work yourself.

Common questions

Straight answers.

Can you guarantee a top 3 spot on Google Maps?

No, and nobody can honestly. Your position changes with where the searcher is standing, and Google warns owners about anyone guaranteeing a spot. That’s why the work is measured across a 49-point grid instead of one number.

Do you have a local ranking case study?

Not yet. The first map project is live right now. Early clients get a founding rate and a guarantee, which is how that’s made a fair trade.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. Three months is the minimum and then it’s month to month. There’s no twelve-month contract and nothing renews itself automatically. At day 90 you get the second rank grid and decide from there.

How long before rankings move?

Something usually moves in the first three or four weeks. Real movement lands between week eight and twelve. Anyone quoting days is guessing.

What areas do you serve?

The Niagara region only: St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Welland, Thorold, Fonthill, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Grimsby, Lincoln and Port Colborne. Only businesses close enough to drive to.
