SEO & Search Visibility

Be found for the searches that turn into revenue.

Without SEO, your site is a billboard in a basement — great to look at, invisible to everyone who matters. I build search visibility for service businesses that depend on inbound leads. Visibility that turns into phone calls, form submissions, and booked jobs.

What SEO Actually Does for Service Businesses

SEO isn't a marketing trick. It's the process of making your business visible when someone searches for what you do, where you do it.

When a homeowner searches "deck builder near me," Google decides which businesses to show. That decision is based on hundreds of factors — your website's technical health, the quality of your content, how other sites reference you, and whether your Google Business Profile is set up correctly.

Most service businesses lose here because their website was built without any of this in mind. That's what I fix.

What's Included

Practical SEO focused on local visibility and lead generation.

Technical Audit

Full technical audit of your website — load speed, mobile experience, crawlability, indexing issues. Most sites have problems the owner has never seen because they don't affect how the site looks, only how Google reads it.

Local Keyword Research

The exact search terms your customers use when they're ready to hire. Not broad industry terms — specific, high-intent phrases tied to your services and service area.

Google Business Optimization

Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a potential customer sees. Categories, service areas, photos, posts, and review strategy — so you show up in the map pack and look credible when you do.

On-Page SEO

Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, and content optimization so each page targets specific searches. This is the foundation that makes everything else work.

Structured Data & Rich Results

Schema markup that helps Google display your business info, services, FAQs, and reviews directly in search results. More real estate on the results page, higher click-through rates.

Tracking & Reporting

Google Analytics, Search Console, and rank tracking so you see exactly what's happening. Monthly reports in plain English, not marketing jargon.

Frequently Asked Questions

You'll typically see initial improvements within 4-8 weeks. Significant rankings and traffic growth usually take 3-6 months, depending on your market competition and starting point.

Paid ads give immediate visibility but stop working when you stop paying. SEO builds long-term equity — the work compounds over time and continues driving traffic without ongoing ad spend.

No reputable SEO provider can guarantee specific rankings because Google's algorithm isn't something anyone controls. What I can guarantee is proven strategies and transparent reporting on your progress.

Not always. I can often optimize your existing site. However, if your current site has fundamental technical issues or poor user experience, a rebuild might be the better investment.
