Dominate Your Local Market With Precision Intelligence
When you’re optimizing service routes, managing multi-location marketing budgets, or closing client retainers, you shouldn't be burning 25 hours every week scraping local citation directories, checking competitor coupon mailers, or squinting at Google Maps reviews. SageDoer delivers a dedicated, managed research back-office that keeps you 3 steps ahead of every competitor in your territory.
Dedicated Project Manager Included
You don’t have time to train a remote generalist on your specific geo-grid parameters, local citation taxonomy, or mystery shopping call scripts. Your dedicated PM acts as your single operational contact, validating research datasets, verifying citation links, and reviewing executive spreadsheets before deliverables reach your desk.
$0 Extra Management or Supervisory CostPay Strictly For Pure Work Time
Never pay agency retainer markups for days when you aren't running local market audits. You are billed exclusively for actual productive minutes logged analyzing Google Maps rankings, mystery shopping competitor quotes, auditing local backlinks, and updating competitive dashboards.
Centralized Time Tracking ProofZero-Downtime Market Coverage
If your assigned research assistant takes leave during a crucial multi-city franchise expansion or quarterly client pitching sprint, your intelligence gathering never stalls. Your dedicated PM seamlessly steps in with a trained backup who already understands your data collection templates.

"Running monthly Local Falcon geo-grid scans and cross-referencing secondary GBP categories for 34 local service accounts was completely draining our senior strategists. SageDoer assigned an assistant who conducts weekly geo-grid audits, spots competitor spam keywords, and compiles Whitespark citation gaps into presentation-ready Google Sheets. The free PM ensures every spreadsheet is 100% QA-verified."
Garrett Walker
Founder & CEO, Apex Local Search Media
"We operate 11 dental practices across two metro markets. Our SageDoer research assistant mystery-shops local emergency dental clinics, tracks competitor Google LSA ad copy, and monitors review velocity weekly. We discovered a key competitor was charging 25% higher diagnostic fees, which allowed us to adjust our ad hooks and boost patient bookings by 31%."
Monica Sterling
Chief Operating Officer, Horizon Dental Partners
"The $6/hour rate for pure work time is unmatched in the industry. Whenever a severe hail storm hits our county, our VA immediately maps out which competing roofing companies are running Meta Ads, identifies their promotional warranties, and checks where they lack city-specific landing pages. We launch counter-campaigns 48 hours faster than anyone else."
