SEO Management

SEO That Actually Gets You Found (And Gets You Customers)

You don't need more traffic. You need the right traffic—people actually searching for what you offer, ready to buy, and in your target market. That's what good SEO does.

We've been doing SEO since Google was still figuring out its own algorithm (seriously, since 2003). We know what works, what's a waste of money, and how to get you ranking for searches that actually matter to your business—not just vanity keywords that look good in a report.

Whether you're starting from scratch, fixing a previous agency's mess, or need ongoing SEO management, we focus on one thing: getting you found by people who become customers.

What Makes Our SEO Different

Most SEO agencies sell you on rankings for keywords you'll never actually benefit from, or bury you in reports full of metrics that don't translate to revenue. Then they lock you into long contracts hoping you won't notice nothing's actually happening.

We do SEO differently:

  • Keywords that actually convert – We target searches your customers make, not just high-volume keywords that sound impressive
  • Technical SEO that matters – Site speed, mobile optimization, proper schema markup—the stuff that actually impacts rankings
  • Content that ranks AND converts – We don't just hit word counts, we create content people want to read and Google wants to rank
  • Transparent reporting – You'll know exactly what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what results you're getting

Who This Is For

Local businesses that need to show up when people in your area search for your services.

B2B companies with long sales cycles that need to build authority and get found by decision-makers.

E-commerce stores that can't afford to rely only on paid ads and need sustainable organic traffic.

Anyone burned by previous SEO agencies that promised results, took your money, and delivered nothing but excuses.

Keyword Research

We don't target keywords just because they have high search volume. We find the terms your actual customers use when they're ready to buy—including long-tail keywords your competitors are ignoring.

Content Strategy That Ranks

We create content based on what your audience actually searches for and what Google actually rewards. No keyword stuffing. No thin content. Just valuable information that ranks and converts.

Technical SEO Fixes

Slow site? Mobile issues? Duplicate content problems? We fix the technical issues that kill your rankings before Google even looks at your content. Clean code, proper structure, fast load times.

Ongoing Optimization

SEO isn't "set it and forget it." We continuously monitor performance, adapt to algorithm changes, identify new opportunities, and optimize based on what's actually working.

How We Do SEO That Works

We've been doing SEO since 2003. Here's what two decades of experience taught us about getting actual results:

SEO Audit & Strategy - We start by figuring out where you actually stand. What's working? What's broken? What opportunities are you missing? We audit your site's technical SEO, content, backlink profile, and how you compare to competitors. Then we build a strategy based on what will actually move the needle for your business—not a generic template we use for everyone.

Technical Foundation - Before creating new content or building links, we fix what's broken. Site speed issues, mobile problems, crawl errors, duplicate content, broken links, poor site structure—all the technical problems that prevent you from ranking no matter how good your content is. This is the unglamorous work most agencies skip, and it's often the difference between ranking and not ranking.

Content & On-Page Optimization - We optimize existing pages and create new content targeting keywords your customers actually use. This isn't about hitting arbitrary word counts—it's about providing the information searchers want, structured the way Google understands, with proper schema markup and internal linking. Every page is optimized for both users and search engines.

Link Building & Authority - Google still cares about links—but only quality ones. We build your site's authority through strategic link building: guest posts on relevant sites, digital PR, broken link reclamation, and earning links through genuinely valuable content. No shady link schemes. No buying links from spam sites. Just sustainable link building that actually works.

Ongoing Monitoring & Optimization - SEO is never "done." We continuously monitor rankings, track performance, identify new keyword opportunities, and adapt to algorithm updates. You get monthly reports showing what's working, what we're optimizing, and how SEO is contributing to your actual business goals—not just vanity metrics.

Common Questions About SEO Services

Honest answer: 3-6 months to see meaningful movement, 6-12 months for substantial results. Anyone promising page one rankings in 30 days is either lying or using tactics that will get you penalized.

SEO is a long-term investment, not a quick fix. We typically see initial improvements within the first 3 months (technical fixes and low-hanging fruit), but building real authority and ranking for competitive terms takes time.

Because Google doesn't trust new sites or sudden changes. It takes time to build authority, earn quality links, and prove to Google that your content deserves to rank above sites that have been around longer. The good news: once you're ranking, you own that traffic. Unlike paid ads where you stop getting traffic the second you stop paying, good SEO compounds over time.

SEO is organic (unpaid) traffic from search engines. You don't pay per click, but it takes time to build. PPC (paid search) gets you immediate traffic but costs money for every click.

Best approach for most businesses: use PPC while building your SEO. PPC gets you customers today, SEO gets you customers tomorrow and every day after at no ongoing cost per click.

No. Anyone who guarantees specific rankings is either scamming you or using black-hat tactics that will get your site penalized.

What we CAN promise: we'll follow proven SEO best practices, target keywords you can realistically rank for, fix technical issues hurting your rankings, and continuously optimize based on results. Most clients see significant improvement in rankings and organic traffic within 6-12 months.

We recommend at least 6 months because that's the minimum time to see meaningful SEO results. That said, we don't lock clients into year-long contracts with penalties for leaving. Most clients stick with us because the work is producing results, not because a contract forces them to.

We've recovered sites from penalties—both algorithmic and manual. It requires a comprehensive audit to identify what caused the penalty (bad links, thin content, spam tactics), cleaning up the issues, and in some cases filing a reconsideration request with Google.

Recovery time depends on the severity and type of penalty, but most sites can recover within 3-6 months if you address the root issues properly.

Absolutely. Local SEO is one of our specialties—optimizing for "near me" searches, managing Google Business Profile, building local citations, getting reviews, and making sure you show up when people in your area search for what you offer.

We've done SEO for healthcare, legal, e-commerce, B2B SaaS, nonprofits, home services, professional services, and more. Every industry has different SEO challenges and opportunities. We tailor our approach to what actually works in your specific market.
