PERFORMANCE

How we do it - Steady, Sustainable Growth

Having a killer website is great, but it doesn’t help your business if no one can find it. Your goal is to grow and we want to help you achieve that goal. We make sure you’re abiding by all of Google’s best practices and then aggressively go after relevant search terms that put you in front of the right customers at the right time. With years of experience successfully running SEO campaigns, you can trust that campaign performance is based on real data.

Keyword Research

Finding the right keywords to target is not just about search volume. We look at relevance, intent and competition to determine which search terms present the most opportunity for your unique business.

On-Page SEO

Did you know there are valuable opportunities to put key search terms on every page and every image on your site? Let us take the guesswork out of what to put where and make sure you’re following Google’s best practices.

Local SEO Pages

Highly-optimized local landing pages are a great way to get in front of customers in a certain town or neighborhood. We’ll take all of your relevant keywords (e.g. plumber, plumbing) and pair them with the towns in your service area (e.g. Wilmington, Bayshore, etc.) and create a page for each unique pair.

Content Marketing

The best content marketing (aka blogging) strategies start with a conversation where we learn everything that makes your business unique and every pain point you help your customers solve. Then we turn it into click-worthy content that boosts your domain authority.

Google Business Profile

For local businesses, optimizing your Google Business Profile is a huge step toward getting your listing seen in the results that show up right next to the map. And regular posts are a great way to show Google your business is active and ready for traffic.

Local Citations

Any time your business name, phone and address are mentioned online counts as a local citation. Directories like YP.com, Yext, FourSquare, Yelp and others can help you build a repertoire of local citations. We can help you obtain and keep these citations up to date.

Social Media

Keeping your social profiles active with links back to your website will boost your overall presence and contribute to your domain authority score. Plus, it helps reassure customers who are learning about you for the first time.

Google Reviews

A 2017 study concluded that 93% of consumers consult Google reviews before making a purchase and 77% would be willing to leave a review if asked. We'll make it easy for your happy customers to find your Google listing and rave about your service.

How do you select which keywords to target?

Using information provided by you we will perform keyword research using industry leading SEO tools like Semrush and Google Keyword Planner. Our overall strategy is to target the lesser competitive, location specific keywords via our landing pages and the more competitive, non-location specific search phrases via our blogging efforts.
Why Blogging?

From our years of experience we have found that content marketing (blogs) are the most effective way to target higher competitive search phrases. These are the searches that have the most search traffic and thus are most likely to be used by customers searching for your services!

Consistency is key. Consistently publishing high-quality blogging content can help build credibility and trust to both your target audience and search engines.

What are the benefits of using landing pages?

Landing pages allow you to customize the page content specific to the location you are targeting, which makes the page more likely to be picked up by search engines. Since they carry the same overall structure, they are great when targeting many areas at once.

Our landing pages use a custom template that we have developed over our years of experience. Here and here are samples of our landing pages. The page design is friendly on all device sizes.
What if my business isn’t considered “local”?

Since many of our clients target a broader audience (regional, national, etc.) some of the items that are specific to local businesses (those that are address based, i.e. GBP, Directories, etc.) wouldn’t benefit their business.. Therefore, we have separated out our packages to include a “local add-on” option for those where the address-based SEO services do apply.
How long does it take to see results?
We like to say that “SEO is a marathon, not a sprint.” We operate in 6 month cycles so that we have enough time to produce enough activity to show results. Generally our goal is to improve rankings within the first 6 months with continued growth from that point on.
We'll keep you informed of your website's progress throughout the process. Here's what you can expect from us:
- Open communication: We'll maintain clear communication throughout the process, discussing expectations and progress.
- Data-driven decisions: We'll base our SEO strategy on data and constantly monitor performance for optimization.
- Long-term strategy: We believe in a sustainable SEO approach that delivers long-term results and organic growth.
How do you measure success?

Success is measured in terms of improvements in rankings, website quality, domain authority, and eventual increases in organic website traffic. To monitor progress, we'll provide access to a reporting dashboard detailing traffic, keyword rankings, and other SEO metrics.
