Local rankings for Myrtle Beach PI clients — built with the Compact Keywords playbook. Hyper-specific intent, thin competition, measurable results. Not generic agency work.
Myrtle Beach market reality: Tourism economy drives hospitality, med-spa, and personal-injury (slip-and-fall at hotels/condos). Pool contractors are a huge local vertical given coastal construction density.

Publish price ranges by service tier. Not per-hour rates, not full quotes. The reason: PI pricing varies too much by case scope to publish precise numbers, but buyers who see no pricing bounce at rates above 60% in our audits. A '$500-2000 starting range' filters price-sensitive tire-kickers and keeps qualified leads.
We rank for those, but with careful copy. The buyer in that query is often in emotional crisis. Our copy for surveillance/infidelity pages leads with discretion, licensing, and process transparency — not sensational headlines. This ranks better and converts better.
