SEO Services

• Local SEO Services
This hyper-focused approach targets geographically specific searches, ensuring your business appears when local users seek relevant services. Think optimized Google Business Profiles, location-specific keywords, and positive online reviews.


• International SEO Services
International SEO tailors your website and content to different languages, regions, and search engine algorithms, enabling global visibility. For international clients, we’ve had great success in helping create awareness and a growth in sales for international market entry. For exporters, Ecommerce vendors, higher education and SaaS clients, this can be a revolutionary change for your sales funnel, giving you a wider potential pool of clients or customers.


• Technical SEO Services
This side of SEO focuses on the website's technical health, ensuring search engines can crawl and index your content efficiently. Think optimized site speed, mobile-friendliness, and structured data implementation, all of which are critical to higher rankings in search engines.


• On-page SEO Services
This involves optimizing elements within your website itself, including keyword research, meta descriptions, title tags, image alt text, and high-quality content. Oftentimes, we find that our clients don’t understand why their competitors are outranking them on keywords they should absolutely be ranking for. We help you to better understand how the page’s structure, content, and perception by Google can be leveraged for optimal keyword rankings.


• Off-page SEO Services
This builds your website's authority and credibility through external factors like backlinks from reputable websites, social media engagement, and online mentions. We help you to discover the levers that boost your authority in the eyes of search engines, and give you the tools to continually outperform your competitors both on and off the page.


• Website Migration Services
We have worked to help successfully relocate and transition websites from old domains to new, or to migrate from one CMS to another, with our SEO site migration services out of our Pittsburgh and Wheeling, WV offices. To get website migration services for your business, contact us!

Pittsburgh SEO Services

While we are working providing SEO services around the country and across the globe, at our heart we are a West Virginia and Pittsburgh SEO Services company that has grown due to our transparent and successful work within digital marketing. If you're looking for Pittsburgh SEO services from a company who really knows the `Burgh, then you've found the right digital marketing agency.

Keywords are one of the essential building blocks for any SEO campaign. We evaluate keywords on select criteria. The first is search volume, which indicates the popularity of a keyword. Next is a set of factors related to how difficult it would be to rank for that keyword. Another is intent, which signifies what a person is looking to get by searching this phrase.

In a perfect world, your businesses' SEO keyword targets will have high search volume, easy to moderate ranking difficulty, and the intent directly relates to your target audience in relative to specific steps throughout the conversion funnel. However, it’s rarely that simple, and you will want to have a wide variety of keyword targets. Part of our SEO campaign management service is continually checking these keywords, helping you decide which keywords are the most impactful for your business' SEO, and helping your clients find you based on the way they search.

Pay-per-click advertising currently has no direct impact on rankings. However, we have seen that PPC campaigns can lead to an increase in overall website traffic to your site, including visits from organic search. Additionally, there are many scenarios where the two can benefit one another in marketing campaigns trying to fully leverage search engine users. While both digital marketing services can help to grow your traffic and conversions, your search engine rankings come about primarily from the content on your website and the way that Google perceives that content.

Maybe…but before you decide, consider these challenges:

• Search engine algorithms change frequently, and staying ahead of the curve requires constant learning and adaptation. Agencies constantly monitor these changes and adjust strategies accordingly.
• Finding skilled SEO professionals, especially in a competitive market, can be difficult. Retaining them requires competitive salaries, benefits, and opportunities for growth, adding to the in-house cost.
• Powerful SEO tools can be expensive, and smaller teams may struggle to justify the investment. Agencies leverage diverse tools and resources, maximizing their optimization efforts.

Typically we find the most success for SEO campaigns with brands that lack the resources internally to accomplish the often tedious, on-going task work required for true SEO success. Saying that, SEO also requires a longer-term commitment and a higher dollar amount of investment in order to see success in comparison to paid search advertising campaigns.

Many of our digital marketing services clients come from the B2B and SaaS sector, but we’ve seen success in most industries on every populated continent. From the University of Pittsburgh in higher education to Netsmart in the realm of healthcare and SaaS, to online furniture retailer Industry West, we’ve accomplished impressive, tangible gains. Learn more about the clients we work with on our digital marketing results and case studies page.

We get it - you want to know how much working with us on SEO is actually going to cost you before you contact us. Unfortunately, we have a really hard time giving you a direct answer to this question because there are a lot of variables to take into consideration, including:

• The goals of your SEO campaign (high level lead, sales, and traffic goals are different than more sophisticated campaigns targeting specific keywords or middle and bottom of the funnel lead generation)
• The resources you have available internally to support your SEO efforts
• The quality of the sites you are going to compete with for page 1 Google results

You will come across SEO companies that charge as little as $100 a month for their services, and also find companies that propose $100,000 a month for a wide-reaching project scope. Most of our clients invest around $6,000 a month or more in our SEO services. Campaigns tend to be above that average when we need to make a higher commitment of our technical and content specialists to a campaign, if you have multiple websites that need SEO attention, or a client has international marketing goals in non-English speaking regions of the world. In some cases, they are large franchisees or multi-location businesses or have multiple websites that need to be managed.

No. We can’t and won’t guarantee results with our SEO services, and you shouldn’t trust any SEO experts who do. Too many variables exist, many of which are out of your and our control. However, we’ve been running SEO campaigns successfully for many years and have developed a good sense of where we can be successful. Plus we give you full, transparent reporting so you can see what your dollars are getting in return.

Bottom line: Run far, far away from any provider of digital marketing services or SEO consultant who guarantees results.
