Where the public evidence points
Keep Simple qualifies through a precise Kailua-Kona address, a first-party 2012 founding and a clearly bounded local-SEO product tied to its managed website platform. The public material is unusually clear about that platform dependency, but it does not publish a complete team count, an exact comparable SEO minimum or three fully dated cases.

Questions for the sales call
- Confirm who besides the founder performs design, development, content, profile and reporting work.
- Request three dated local-search cases with Search Console and Google Business Profile baselines plus lead outcomes.
- Document website build costs, recurring platform and SEO fees, portability, asset ownership and cancellation terms.
What this profile does not prove
- Three complete dated SEO cases were not established. Testimonials describe ranking improvement but do not provide complete baselines and measurement windows.
- Local SEO is limited to sites on Keep Simple's managed platform or an all-inclusive rebuild, reducing platform flexibility.
- No complete team count or exact comparable recurring SEO minimum is public.
