New pet owners move into your neighborhood every week. Here's why they're not finding you.

01
Invisible in "Vet Near Me" Searches
Someone moves into the neighborhood with a new puppy, opens Google, and types "vet near me." If you're not in the Map Pack — the top three results with a star rating — they're booking with whoever is. That appointment is a client for life, and you missed it because of a search ranking.
02
No Instagram Presence Despite Having Perfect Content
Pet photos are the single highest-engagement content type in local social media — and your practice is full of them every day. Before-and-after grooms, happy patient photos (with owner permission), breed spotlights. You have the content. You just don't have the time to post it consistently. We handle that.
03
New Pet Owners in Your Neighborhood Can't Find You
People who just got a new dog or moved to your area are actively searching for a trusted vet or groomer. They ask Nextdoor, they search Google, they scroll Instagram. If your presence on those three channels is thin or absent, you're losing the most high-intent new clients there are.
How it works

The First Visit Earns a Client for Life

We build the visibility that gets pet owners through your door for the first time. After that, the care you provide keeps them for years — and our review and referral system turns them into your best marketing.

Step 01

We Audit Your Practice's Online Presence

Free 20-minute call. We review your Google Business Profile ranking, your Instagram presence, your review volume on Google and Yelp, and your Nextdoor visibility — and tell you exactly which channels are letting new clients slip away.

Step 02

We Build Your New-Client Pipeline

Google Map Pack optimization, a consistent Instagram content calendar with real photos from your practice, a review acquisition system for satisfied clients, Nextdoor neighborhood advertising, and an online booking setup that turns Google searchers into booked appointments.

Step 03

New Clients Come In, Loyal Clients Stay

Live dashboard showing appointment requests, review growth, Google ranking, and Instagram reach. Monthly report, direct line to your account manager, and seasonal campaigns timed to when demand peaks — holidays, summer travel, back-to-school.

★★★★★

"We had almost no Nextdoor presence and a thin Google listing. Within 90 days, we were the top-recommended groomer in three neighborhood feeds. New appointment slots filled up for the first time in two years."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost, and am I locked into a contract?

We charge a flat monthly rate with no setup fees and no long-term contract, so you can cancel anytime. We scope pricing to your practice during a free audit, since a single groomer needs less than a multi-vet clinic. Starting packages typically cover your Google Map Pack, Instagram, review acquisition, and booking. You will know the exact number before anything begins.

How long until I start seeing more appointment requests?

Google Business Profile and review work usually start moving your Map Pack ranking within the first month or two. Instagram and Nextdoor presence build steadily as content and neighborhood recommendations accumulate. Most pet care clients notice more new-client calls and booking requests within the first 90 days, though local competition and your starting point both affect the pace.

What do you actually do for a pet care business each month?

We optimize your Google Map Pack for vet, groomer, boarding, and training near-me searches, run a consistent Instagram calendar using real photos from your practice, build a compliant review acquisition system, set up online booking and new-client intake, and run Nextdoor and Google Ads in your zip codes. We also time seasonal boarding campaigns to holidays and summer travel.

How is AVBOOST different from a big agency or doing it myself?

Big agencies hand pet care businesses the same generic playbook they use for plumbers. We focus only on local businesses and know pet owners search Google, Nextdoor, and Instagram differently. Doing it yourself works until the practice gets busy and posting stops. You get a flat rate, a direct line to your account manager, and a live dashboard instead of a junior account rep.

How do you get reviews and post pet photos without crossing privacy or trust lines?

Pet owners are protective, and trust is everything in this trade. We only request reviews from satisfied clients through compliant, privacy-respecting outreach, never incentivized or fake. Patient and before-and-after grooming photos go up only with owner permission. The goal is to reflect the real care you provide, because that earned trust is what turns a first visit into a client for years.
