What we tend
Your search, tended.
Real SEO — technical audits, schema, content depth, internal linking, local SEO. The kind that produces rankings over time. Not the $5k/mo blog-spam kind.
What real SEO is.
Technical SEO
Crawlability, Core Web Vitals, schema, sitemap, robots, canonical URLs, redirects
On-page SEO
Title tags, meta descriptions, H1/H2 structure, internal linking, image alt text
Schema (JSON-LD)
LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, Review, Organization — what AI search engines parse
Content depth
Service pages built deeper than competitors. Real answers. No fluff.
Local SEO
GBP tending (separate spoke), local citations, location-page builds, NAP audits
GEO / AI search
Q&A formatting, citable answers, structure for AI Overviews and Perplexity
Competitor research

What we don't do (and you should run from).
These are the practices that got you burned last time. They're either Google-penalty bait, dead since 2018, or just expensive theater. We don't do any of them:
- ✗ Buy backlinks (penalty risk)
- ✗ Auto-generate filler blog posts
- ✗ Promise position #1 (nobody can)
- ✗ Lock you into a 12-month retainer
- ✗ Use private blog networks (PBNs)
Want an honest SEO audit?
Tell us your website and what you've tried before. We'll do a real audit — $300-$800 depending on site size — and give you the three things that'd move the needle. No retainer push afterward.

I got burned by an SEO agency. What's different here?
+
We've heard that story a lot. Most owners we talk to have spent $3,000-$15,000 on previous SEO that produced nothing — boilerplate blog posts, low-quality link-buys, and "strategy reports" that say nothing. We don't do any of that. We do the work that actually moves rankings: technical SEO, schema, content depth, internal linking, GBP. And we charge per thing, not $2,500/month.
Do you guarantee rankings?
+
No. Anyone who guarantees a #1 ranking is lying — Google's algorithm is a black box that changes weekly. What we will guarantee: your technical foundation will be clean, your content will be better than competitors', your schema will be complete, your GBP will be tended. Those are the things that produce rankings over time.
How long until I see results?
+
Technical fixes (speed, schema, broken links) can show in days-to-weeks. Content depth and link-building takes 3-6 months. GBP tending shows in 1-3 months. The honest answer: don't pay for SEO unless you can wait 90 days for the first real signal.
What about AI Overviews / GEO / generative search?
+
Real concern. Half of small-business search queries now end in an AI summary before a human clicks through. We optimize for that too — Q&A formatting, citable sentences, schema that AI engines parse, clear answer paragraphs. Different methodology than 2019 SEO, but the foundation overlaps a lot.
Do you do link-building?
+
Earned, yes. Bought, no. We help you get cited from real industry sites, get listed on real directories, get press coverage when there's something legitimately newsworthy. We won't buy links from a network — Google penalizes that and it'll hurt you more than help.
What's an SEO audit cost?
+
A real one: $300-$800 depending on site size. Includes technical SEO (Core Web Vitals, crawlability, schema, redirects), on-page SEO (titles, meta, headings, internal linking, content depth vs. competitors), and a prioritized fix list with traffic-impact estimates. Not a 60-page PDF. A practical doc you can actually act on.
Do you write blog content?
+
Yes, when it serves SEO purpose. We don't churn 500-word AI-generated posts for the sake of "content marketing" — Google's been penalizing that since the Helpful Content Update. We write deep, specific posts that answer real questions and earn the traffic. Less volume, more impact.
