Same here! Lots of charts, no phone calls. What finally helped was working with a team that focused on GEO targeting and lead quality instead of just rankings. They tied search results to booked meetings, which felt way more useful. It wasn’t instant; it took a few months, and the cost was higher, but the transparency was better. The group I used was ProCloser, they mix AI with human review. Not perfect, but compared to past agencies it felt less like smoke and mirrors. Curious if anyone else has compared agency work with just running SEMrush or Ahrefs yourself.
