01 — What's Included

SEO that actually
moves the needle.

No hand-waving. Specific changes that actually get you found on Google.

Local Keyword Targeting
We research and target the exact phrases your customers type into Google — "plumber near me," "San Diego electrician," "best restaurant in Hillcrest" — and work those phrases into your site so it actually ranks.
Google Business Profile
We set up or clean up your Google Business Profile so you show up in the map pack. We'll nail the categories, service areas, photos, and hours — plus show you how to handle reviews.
On-Page Optimization
Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, image alt text, internal linking, and URL structure — all tuned for your target keywords and location. Every page is hand-optimized.
Schema Markup
Structured data tells Google exactly what your business does, where you're located, your services, pricing, and reviews. This helps you appear in rich search results with stars and business info.
Core Web Vitals
Google uses page speed as a ranking factor. We optimize load times, interactivity, and visual stability so your site passes all Core Web Vitals benchmarks on mobile and desktop.
Search Console Setup
We connect your site to Google Search Console and submit your sitemap so Google indexes your pages quickly. You get a dashboard showing your search performance and click data.
02 — Why Local SEO Matters

Your customers are searching right now.

Nearly half of all Google searches have local intent. When someone in San Diego types "garage door repair near me," they're ready to call. If your business doesn't show up on page one, that customer goes to your competitor instead.

SEO is a better deal than ads for most small businesses. Ads stop the second you stop paying. Good SEO keeps working month after month.

Think about it — when someone in Hillcrest searches "best tacos near me" or a homeowner in Carlsbad types "roof repair San Diego," they're ready to spend money. If your business doesn't show up, someone else gets that call. Voice search makes this even more important — people ask Siri and Google for recommendations, and those answers come from local search results.

  • Show up in Google Maps and the local 3-pack
  • Rank for "near me" and city-specific searches
  • Build trust with reviews and structured data
  • Get more phone calls and form submissions

05 — FAQ

Common questions about
local SEO.

Usually 3-6 months for meaningful ranking changes. We set up the technical foundation right away, but Google takes time to re-crawl and re-rank your site. We send monthly reports so you can track progress.
No one can honestly guarantee that. Anyone who does is lying. What we do guarantee is that your site will be technically optimized, your Google Business Profile will be dialed in, and you'll have a clear keyword strategy based on what people in San Diego actually search for.
Google Ads is pay-per-click — you pay every time someone clicks your ad. SEO is organic — once you rank, those clicks are free. Ads stop the moment you stop paying. SEO keeps working month after month. For most small businesses in San Diego, SEO is the better long-term investment.
Yes. Every website we build includes on-page SEO — meta tags, schema markup, sitemap, Search Console, and local keyword optimization. If you want ongoing SEO work like monthly reporting, content updates, and Google Business Profile management, we offer that as an add-on.
