Search Engine Optimization

Your website is an important asset for your business or organization. But how do you know if your website is working for you?

Do this: open a new browser tab or window and go to your search engine of choice. Try finding your business the same way your potential customers might. This might be looking for a product that you offer or a service in your area, like "web designers in Clinton, OK". What results do you get?

If you're not on the first page, you need my help. If you're not in the top few positions, you need my help. If you're already ranked in the first couple of slots, then you might want to retain me so that I can't help your competitors pass you by.

What is Search Engine Optimization?

Search engine optimization (SEO) is part science and part art. It is the process of helping your website rank well in search engines for what people seeking your products or services are searching for. The algorithms search engines use are everchanging, and my job is to keep your website ahead of the curve.

SEO comes in two basic forms: global and local. I focus on local SEO in order to help local small businesses rise above the noise in search results for their area.

Why Local SEO?

You might be thinking, "Won't my prospects just pick up the phone book?" Well, in some industries with certain target demographics, yes. But more and more people are hitting the search engines first to find a local product or service. This is especially true of mobile web users.

Even if you're in a small market, local SEO can help your business rise above the others in your area. If you're not outranking your competitors in search engines, you're leaving qualified prospects on the table.

"But how do I compete with national brands?" That's where local SEO really shines. While it's true that the national brands will probably outrank you globally for your search terms, you actually gain an edge in local searches. The majority of searches have some local qualifier, and that makes local SEO that much more important!

Exclusive Local SEO Services

Due to the nature of SEO, I see it as a conflict of interest and unethical to provide local SEO services to two or more competing businesses in the same market. However, this exclusivity only applies while I am providing local SEO services to you.

How Much Does It Cost?

A local SEO solution must be customized to your exact needs. Therefore, I can't even give you a ballpark on the website. But I do offer an introductory analysis of your SEO needs that starts at $350 depending on the size of your website.

This analysis is a report of your website's current status along with a plan of action for getting started with local SEO for your website. Each recommendation is outlined in detail and rated on average difficulty so that you can decide whether you want to do something in-house or contract my services.
