How it works
How we move your rankings.
Step 1: Full SEO audit
First we crawl your site, check where you rank today, and benchmark you against your top competitors. That shows us what's working and what isn't.
- Site crawl
- Competitor analysis
- Gap analysis
Step 2: Strategy & keyword map
From the audit, we build a keyword map around high-intent searches your customers actually use. Each page gets one clear target, so your pages never compete with each other.
- Keyword research
- Page mapping
- Search intent
Step 3: On-page & technical fixes
We fix meta tags, headers, internal links, schema markup, page speed, and anything else the audit turned up. This is usually where rankings start to move.
- On-page SEO
- Schema markup
- Speed fixes
Step 4: Content & link building
We publish optimized pages and posts, build citations, and earn backlinks that tell Google your site is an authority worth ranking.
- Content publishing
- Link building
- Monthly reporting

FAQ
Questions we get a lot.
How long does it take to see results from SEO?
+
It depends on where you're starting, but most sites see measurable ranking improvements in 3–6 months. SEO isn't a quick fix. The longer you stick with it, the more authority you build and the harder it gets for competitors to catch up.
What's the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?
+
Local SEO is about ranking for searches with a location in them, like “dentist near me” or “plumber in Austin.” That means optimizing your Google Business Profile, building local citations, getting reviews, and creating location-specific content. Regular (organic) SEO targets broader keywords without a location attached.
Do I need to keep paying for SEO every month?
+
Not forever, but SEO does take ongoing work. Google's algorithm changes constantly, competitors keep optimizing, and content needs to stay fresh. Most businesses get the best results from 6–12 months of steady optimization, then scale back to a maintenance plan to hold their rankings.
Can you guarantee first-page rankings?
+
No one can honestly guarantee specific rankings. Google doesn't work that way. What we can guarantee is a methodical, white-hat approach: technical fixes, quality content, and link building that follows Google's guidelines. We've gotten clients to the first page many times, but we won't promise what we can't control.
What's included in your monthly SEO retainer?
+
Every retainer includes keyword research, on-page optimization, technical SEO fixes, content recommendations, link building outreach, Google Business Profile management (if it applies), and monthly reporting. The exact scope depends on your goals and budget, and we're upfront about what you're getting.
