LOCAL LEVERAGE SEO

SEO… or… Search Engine Optimization is the process of creating and modifying a website, along with other associated and unassociated properties to generate more rankings and therefore more traffic from search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.

This process used to be easy, but has become exceptionally more complex over the years. Read more on the history of SEO.

85% of the people searching on Google are clicking on the organic search results, according to statistics from SEWatch. Also, statistics show local SEO has been shown to consistently outperform paid ads over the course of a month when the same amount of money is spent with the same keyword focuses,

That isn’t to say we don’t believe in paid ads, because we certainly do (and even manage paid ads for some of our high-level SEO partners).

However, dramatically more businesses invest in paid ads over SEO (causing the price of ads to increase) when only 15% of consumers are clicking on them. Meaning the SEO opportunities for local businesses who are willing to play long term are exponentially greater, producing higher ROI.

It really depends entirely on the business, industry, competition, margin, and cost of goods being sold… But in many cases it is optimal to implement SEO first and foremost AS WELL AS running paid ads.

"Results" are relative depending on your business’ specific goals and also the industry you play within. For some of our smaller clients, results can be seen and experienced in only 30 to 90 days. Conversely, another one of our clients who operates within the “Pay Day Loans” industry which is considered one of, if not “thee” most competitive and challenging markets in the world took just under 18 months for us to achieve first place rankings for the specific keywords they wanted to rank for.

We charge a monthly retainer fee for our services. That retainer fee is built based on the number of hours required each month to complete the work to achieve your specific business outcome. Fees are due at the beginning of every rolling month to retain our agency. Our services are not expensive starting at $2500 per month, but still not ideal for everyone. Each projects individual pricing is based on it’s complexity, your competition, your current positioning and other key factors.

As a boutique local SEO agency, it has never been our objective to have hundreds or thousands of clients… And although we receive a high number partnership requests, we only work with clients who meet the following criteria.

• You (and your business) are a good fit for us and our team.
• You are a high quality service provider with an excellent reputation.
• You already have an established business which is already making sales.
• You’re serious and excited about creating growth inside your business.
• We are certain your business could benefit from our services and that we can produce a high-level of ROI for you.

And finally…. We only work with businesses who are looking for a long-term partnership, who have long-term vision, and… who want to position themselves as the obvious and only choice for their product or service long-term.

If you’re not looking to play long-term, not only are we NOT the right fit for you, but SEO in general probably isn’t the right fit either. Unsure about whether you’re a good fit but you’d like to at least explore the possibility or potentially working with us? Please contact us here

Most low-level SEO Services will just present the same pre-packaged “Cookie Cutter” option to all their potential clients which makes absolutely no sense at all. Why? Because no two businesses are alike, no two cities are alike, and every business has different goals and outcomes they are looking to achieve… So how would their SEO requirements be exactly the same? They wouldn’t… Which is why at Local Leverage SEO we build custom SEO solutions for each one of our clients based on their specific needs and business goals.

We aren’t your typical “SEO Service” we play for real…. Here’s the thing: SEO Service providers are a dime-a-dozen and there are very few real “pros”... And we place a great level of pride in the fact that although we’re a small, boutique agency... We are consistently referred to and recommended for our unique ability to play in some of the most challenging, and competitive markets and industries against some of the biggest international agencies. We are not the “right” partner for every single business, but for those businesses we DO partner with, we are their unseen competitive advantage. We’re for serious businesses looking for serious results. Check out what we do differently.

If we determine your business is an ideal fit for and we both agree on a partnership, the next step is to begin our proprietary onboarding process. During this phase we will collect all the pertinent information and laying the groundwork (or foundation) which our entire long-term strategy will be built upon. Also, it is during this phase we need our partners to be especially engaged with us, because this is one of the only times during the process where we will ask you to take some action for us (which most SEO providers skip) which will both expedite and amplify the rankings, results, and ROI we will produce for you.
