What Does an SEO Agency Do?
SEO Optimizers is an SEO agency covering keyword research, on-page work, technical fixes, content and link building, judged on customers rather than rankings alone. Most sites we take over have several pages competing for one term and nothing at all for the searches that convert.
SEO Services From a Team That Has Run Them Since 2007
Competitive markets and multi-location businesses sit higher.
Expect map pack movement in four to eight weeks and competitive organic rankings in three to six months. Anyone promising page one inside 90 days is either targeting terms nobody searches or taking risks with your domain.
You work with the person doing the work. That is the whole reason the agency stayed small.
What Our SEO Services Include
Technical Foundations
Crawling and indexing faults, site speed, mobile rendering, redirect chains and duplicate URLs. This comes first because content cannot rank on pages Google struggles to read.
See our website audit.
Keyword Research and Page Mapping
We start from what people type, then decide which page should own each term. Most sites we inherit have three pages competing for one keyword and nothing at all targeting the terms that convert.
See keyword research.
On-Page and Content
Titles, headings, internal links, schema, and pages written to answer the question behind the search rather than to hit a word count. See on page SEO, technical SEO and SEO copywriting.
Ongoing content runs through blog writing, and longer research pieces through article writing and submission.
Local SEO
For any business with an address or a service area, the Google Business Profile is the fastest return available and the most commonly neglected. See local SEO services and Google Business Profile optimization.
Authority and Links
Earned coverage, digital PR and genuine editorial links. Slower than buying them, and the only kind that still works. See link building.
Where a story or an asset is the way in, we use press releases, infographic marketing and influencer marketing.
AI Search Visibility
A growing share of research now happens inside AI Overviews and assistants that name two or three businesses rather than ten. See AI SEO services.
The same work is sometimes sold under other names, so we also publish it as generative engine optimization and answer engine optimization.
A single-location company competing against chains needs a narrower plan than a national brand, which is what small business SEO covers.
Ecommerce and Platforms
Selling online changes the work. Category pages, product copy and duplicate URLs matter more than a map pin, which is what ecommerce SEO and Magento SEO covers.
What your site runs on changes it again, so we publish separately for WordPress, Shopify, Wix and Squarespace.
Marketplaces are their own discipline, handled under Amazon marketing services.
Who You Sell To
Selling to businesses changes which keywords matter, because the terms have low volume and high deal value, which is what B2B SEO is built around.
Software companies compete on comparison and integration searches rather than category terms, so that work is published separately as SaaS SEO.
Once a site runs to thousands of templated pages and several teams, the constraint becomes governance rather than tactics, and that is enterprise SEO.
Guidance Rather Than Delivery
Some teams do not need an agency running the work, they need direction. SEO consulting is a live session on your actual site.
SEO coaching teaches your team to run it, and a fractional SEO consultant gives you senior oversight on retainer without a full-time hire. Companies needing that across every channel rather than search alone hire a fractional CMO. Free public SEO classes run monthly. Teams that want a session rather than a retainer book an SEO workshop, and event organizers book a conference keynote.
Reputation
Rankings bring people to a search result that already carries your reviews, so online reputation management sits alongside the rest rather than after it.
What We No Longer Do, and Why
This page used to advertise several services we have retired. They are worth naming, because plenty of agencies still sell them.
| Retired service | Why it stopped working |
|---|---|
| Search engine submission | Google has discovered sites by crawling links for two decades. Submitting a URL does nothing you cannot do free in Search Console. |
| Article writing and submission | Article directories were devalued by the Panda update in 2011 and the links now carry no weight, or count against you. |
| Directory and vortal submission | Bulk directory links are a link scheme under current guidelines. Genuine industry and local citations still matter, and those are a different job. |
| Bulk social bookmarking | Automated bookmarking links have been ignored for years and pattern-match to spam. |
| Press release link building | Press releases are worth doing for actual news. Issuing them purely for links stopped working when those links became nofollow by default. |
If a proposal you are comparing includes any of these, that is a useful signal about how current the rest of it is.

How an SEO Engagement Runs
- Audit and baseline. What ranks now, what is broken, what your competitors hold, delivered as a full website audit. Two weeks.
- Fix the foundations. Technical faults and the Business Profile, because these move first.
- Map and build pages. One page per real search intent, written properly rather than spun.
- Earn authority. Ongoing, and the part that decides close contests.
- Report and adjust. Monthly, against rankings, traffic and leads, not vanity metrics.
Every engagement runs month to month with no contract, though we recommend three months because the first quarter is where the foundational work lands.
Doing SEO In House vs Hiring Us
Worth comparing honestly, because in house is genuinely the right answer for some businesses.
| In house | Us | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | ||
| Breadth | One person rarely covers technical, content, local and links well | The same person handles all four, which is why the agency stayed small |
| Tools | Included | |
| Ramp up | Three to six months to hire and onboard | Audit starts in week one |
| Risk | If they leave, the knowledge leaves | You keep every deliverable, the analytics and the plan |
| Best when | You publish constantly and want the capability permanently | You want senior work without carrying the headcount |

When SEO Is the Wrong Spend
If you need leads this month, SEO is the wrong tool and we will say so. Paid search buys visibility immediately, and PPC management is the honest answer for an urgent pipeline.
If your site converts badly, more traffic multiplies an existing problem. conversion rate optimization comes first.
And if nobody searches for what you sell, no amount of optimization creates demand that is not there. We check search volume before quoting, and occasionally that conversation ends with us recommending you spend the money elsewhere.
“Before we started, we weren’t showing up on Google for important keywords like home remodeling and kitchen renovation, but within a few months, we started seeing real improvements in our rankings and website traffic.”
★★★★★ Chen Briga, verified Google review
How We Report
Monthly, in plain language, covering rankings for the terms we agreed, organic traffic, map pack positions and the leads that came from them.
We report both organic and map positions every time, because a business can be first in the map pack and invisible in the ordinary results, and the fix for each is different.
You get the tracking setup regardless, so the numbers are yours whether or not you keep working with us. See website analytics.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do SEO services cost?
SEO services are quoted per site, because the starting point decides most of the work. What moves the number: how competitive your terms are, how much technical debt the site carries, how many pages need content, and whether you need local, national or multi-location coverage. Ask any proposal to itemize those pieces, so you can compare two quotes on the same work rather than on the headline monthly figure.
One-time audits cost less than ongoing programs because they stop at the diagnosis. Start with a free website analysis and we will scope it properly.
How long do SEO services take to work?
SEO services take four to eight weeks to move the map pack and three to six months for competitive organic rankings. A new domain with no links takes longer. The order is fairly predictable: technical fixes register first, then pages that were already close to page one, then the terms you actually want. Anyone promising competitive rankings in thirty days is describing something other than SEO.
The order matters: profile and technical work show up first, content and authority compound over the following quarters. Progress also arrives in steps rather than smoothly, so a page can sit still for weeks and then jump once Google reassesses it.
What do SEO services include?
SEO services include a technical audit and fixes, keyword research and page mapping, on-page optimization, content, local search and Business Profile work, link earning, and monthly reporting on rankings, traffic and leads. What we do not include is anything from the retired list above, such as directory or article submission.
Are SEO services worth it for a small business?
SEO is worth it for a small business when people actively search for what you sell and you can serve them profitably, which is the case we set out under SEO on a small business budget. It is not worth it when demand does not exist yet, or when you need leads this month, in which case paid search is the honest recommendation. The advantage for a small business is that local terms are far cheaper to win than national ones, so a modest budget can still take the top spots in your own city.
We check search volume before quoting.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
You do not have to sign a long contract with us. It runs month to month from day one. We recommend three months because that is where the foundational work lands and judging results any earlier is not meaningful, and you keep everything produced during the engagement, including the content, the pages and the technical fixes. Nothing is held back or switched off if you stop.
There is no minimum term. Longer lock-ins are common in this industry precisely because results take time to prove, but a provider confident in the work does not need one to keep a client.

Agencies and consultants who resell the work run it through white label SEO instead. SEO sits at the center of the program. See local SEO services, on page SEO, link building, conversion rate optimization and PPC management.
When the build is the problem, that is rebuilding the site itself, every channel together is our full marketing program, the numbers behind a budget are worked out with our SEO ROI calculator, city by city work lives on our service area pages, and the other sectors we work in sit under industry SEO. What we publish and why is decided before any of it is written. Selling into more than one country is international SEO. Ranking products on the marketplace is Amazon SEO, video sits with YouTube SEO, and reviews are handled through review management.
