Where the public evidence points
Valve+Meter qualifies through a current Indianapolis headquarters, a documented 2017 founding, 38 named team members, a deep in-house search and measurement bench and detailed Indiana client cases. The agency now positions primarily for contractors, so the industries are deliberately narrower than its historic portfolio. Current pages discuss customized investment and broad market ranges but publish no agency-specific recurring floor, so price remains unscored.
The current roster names dedicated SEO strategists, content managers, developers, analysts and client-success staff
ThinkFirst and Math Before Marketing connect search plans to service-area economics, booked jobs and revenue
Detailed Indiana cases publish rankings, visibility, conversion, revenue and return-on-spend outcomes

Strategy before spend and revenue measurement
The current operating model uses ThinkFirst and Math Before Marketing to evaluate service areas, capacity and economics before channel selection and ties calls and booked jobs back to revenue.
Valve+Meter operating model
No agency-specific recurring price published
The current SEO FAQ says investment varies by service area, competition, current site and scope and that specific pricing follows an assessment; generic contractor ranges are not treated as Valve+Meter's own floor.

Questions for the sales call
- Confirm the named SEO strategist, content manager, developer, analyst and client-success lead assigned and the expected share of senior time.
- Request Search Console, rank, call-tracking, CRM, booked-job and revenue exports for a comparable contractor, with organic, paid, email and outbound attribution separated.
- Obtain a priced program showing recurring SEO, content, links, paid media, website and analytics costs, term, implementation ownership and data portability.
What this profile does not prove
- The selected cases are company-authored and not independently audited; two combine SEO with paid, email, websites or outbound work.
- The 20-50 band reflects 38 current roster names, not audited payroll, allocation or available capacity.
- The current niche focus is contractors; buyers outside home services should confirm active sector experience and team fit before shortlisting.
