What is SEO?
As you may know, SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. But what does that mean? And what does search engine optimization entail? An SEO Strategy is focused on acquiring website traffic and high search result rankings organically. By organic, we mean without paying for web traffic via pay-per-click ads, among other methods. Gaining more traffic, though, is not a fix-all solution. To be truly successful with an SEO campaign, you are going to want conversions, new customers, people staying on your site for longer, contacting you for your services or more information. We want customers to find your website and stay on your website.
Within SEO, there’s a wide variety of strategies to accomplish these goals—some of which are more effective than others. This could be anything from developing website content around keywords related to your industry to maintain a strong presence across multiple social media platforms. SEO practices and strategies are constantly changing to remain effective as internet search engines continuously update algorithms. Once your site climbs the rankings, we want to make sure it stays there. We will modify our strategies every 3 to 6 months. This keeps your site from getting stale and ensure you keep climbing the rankings.
How it works
Pricing Plans
I offer SEO packages from Thunderstorm to Derecho to Hurricane level with the option of doing a one-month power start with the Brainstorm. The main difference between these packages is the number of hours I will have to work on your SEO campaign each month. When more time is allotted to your company, I am able to work on more time-consuming tasks such as content creation, link development, and conversion optimization. If you have chosen a smaller-budget SEO package, these items are possible, but there will be a limited amount of time to focus on all of these areas each month.
Any SEO Strategy can include any of the following, based on your budget and personal goals for your website.
- Website Audit
- Analytics Setup & Configuration
- Custom SEO Strategy
- Keyword Research
- On-Page SEO
- Meta Title and Description Optimization
- Off-Page SEO
- Technical SEO
- Site Speed Optimization
- Error Page Handling
- Link Building
- Content Writing Assistance
- Monthly Reporting
SEO packages are provided monthly, meaning clients will be billed at the beginning of each month. Contracts are month-to-month and clients are not locked-in long term. The results of your personalized campaign are what keep clients working with me! If you wish to purchase multiple months at one time, there is a 10% discount for 6 months and 15% discount for 12 months.
If you aren’t sure which package best fits your needs, please contact me for a free consult.

Can you get me to #1 on Google?
Know that no one can guarantee you to rank #1 on Google. While many SEO companies guarantee a number-one ranking, Google’s algorithm ultimately makes the decision, and no SEO company has a special relationship with Google.
I’ve done SEO before and it hasn’t worked, why are you different?
If an SEO strategy hasn’t worked for you in the past, there are multiple things that could have happened.
You were ripped off by a scammer. Sadly, there are many scammers in the digital marketing industry. If this has happened to you, I am truly sorry to hear it. I am very passionate about giving you the highest quality services and I take pride in my work.
You were working with a website designer or developer. SEO is a very detailed skill that few designers and developers learn and can implement. Many website design, marketing, or graphic design companies offer SEO services, however, they may not be experienced in this skill.
Your previous campaign wasn’t aggressive enough. If you paid for SEO services in the past and didn’t see results, chances are your strategy wasn’t doing enough to beat out tough competition or didn’t provide enough effort or resources required to beat other competitors.
What sort of reporting will I recieve?
Every month, you will receive a report outlining your rankings and website visits as well as adjustments to the strategy to make sure you keep climbing the rankings.
How long does SEO take?
This depends on where you are today, what SEO work has been done previously, and what the competition is like. We will start with a full site audit to determine what improvements can be made.
Most websites on page two of search results can be brought to the front page within 6 months. New websites will likely take 6 – 12 months to get a good first-page ranking on a competitive keyword. During the time your SEO strategy is being carried out, your leads and traffic will increase gradually!
How much does SEO cost?

Yes! SEO packages are provided monthly, meaning clients will be billed at the beginning of each month. If you wish to purchase multiple months at one time, there is a 10% discount for 6 months and a 15% discount for 12 months.
