SEO is a lot. Here's what it actually involves.
Most agencies sell you a package and send a PDF. We'd rather show you the work. Every engagement starts with a real audit. Then we build a prioritized list of what's costing you visibility right now, and we work through it month by month.
-
Screaming Frog Crawl
We hit every URL on your site. Broken links, redirect chains, duplicate titles, missing meta, thin pages, URLs that shouldn't be indexed. This is where most of the quick wins live. Problems quietly costing you traffic that have been sitting there for months.
-
Semrush Technical Audit
Site health score, Core Web Vitals, mobile usability, internal linking gaps, and keyword ranking data. We also run a keyword gap against your top competitors. What they rank for that you don't is a roadmap for what to build next.
-
Backlink & Authority Review
Who links to you, how authoritative those sites are, and whether any are doing more harm than good. We compare your backlink profile to your top competitors to identify where the authority gap is widest.
-
Google Business Profile Audit
Category, service area, photo quality, NAP consistency across the web, review cadence, posting activity. For local businesses, your GBP is often the first thing Google looks at. Most are set up once and never touched again.
-
On-Page Signals Review
Every page on your site gets looked at. Title tags, H1s, header structure, image alt text, internal link anchor text. Not whether they exist, but whether they're actually doing any work. A title that says "Home" won't break a crawl. It will cost you rankings. That's true for a lot of what we find on sites that have never had a real audit.
-
Schema & Structured Data Audit
Most local business sites have zero schema markup. That means no star ratings in search results, no FAQ dropdowns, no service cards showing up in Google. We check what's on your site, what's broken, and what's missing. LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, and Review schemas are where the biggest quick wins usually sit for sites that have never had them.
All of that produces one thing: a ranked list of what to fix first.
Not a 90-page report you'll never open. It's a working document that drives what we do every month. Technical fixes go first (highest leverage, lowest cost to fix). Then on-page: titles, headings, internal links, content gaps. Then content: the piece included in your plan, researched and written to target real search queries. Citations get built. GBP stays active. The monthly report lands in your inbox.
The honest part: there's no shortcut. A site with years of technical debt doesn't recover in 30 days. What we can do is make every month's work count. We prioritize the highest-leverage changes, execute them cleanly, and track whether they moved the needle. That's the job.
Starting points, not rigid boxes.
These packages are a starting point. Before any work begins, we get on a call — we want to understand your business, where you're at in search, your biggest pain points, and what's realistic within your budget. Strategy gets shaped from there. No assumptions.

Month by month, here's how it goes.
SEO isn't magic — it's methodical work, tracked and reported every step of the way.
Audit & Baseline
Screaming Frog crawl + Semrush audit. GBP cleaned up. GSC and rank tracking connected and baselined. You get the prioritized issue list before we touch a single thing.
Fix & Optimize
Top issues get worked — technical first, on-page next. First content piece delivered (Local and E-Commerce plans). Citations submitted. GBP posting starts. First report delivered.
Build
Monthly cycle runs — content, citations, GBP, on-page from keyword data. Local map pack movement typically starts showing up here. Organic head terms are still warming up.
Compound
Authority builds. More pages rank. Branded search grows. Head terms start moving. Monthly reports show the trajectory — not just where you are, but which direction you're heading.
What we can't control — and won't pretend we can.
- We don't guarantee rankings. Nobody can. Any agency that does is selling you something. What we guarantee is the work — audits run on schedule, reports delivered monthly, issues addressed in priority order.
- SEO takes time. Local and map pack results can show up in 3–6 months. Organic rankings for competitive head terms take longer — expect 6–12 months of consistent work before significant movement.
- Google's algorithm is outside our control. We build to best practices, which means we're not chasing shortcuts that get penalized when the next update rolls out. Clean work only.
- We need things from you. Review responses, approval on content, access to Google Search Console. SEO doesn't work in a vacuum — your participation matters, especially on review generation.
- Local SEO and organic SEO are different. Local targets the Google map pack — driven by your GBP, reviews, and citations. Organic targets the blue-link results below the map — driven by your site's content, authority, and technical health. Most small businesses need both working together.
