SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

Search Engine Optimization for Local Businesses

SEO is the process of improving your website so it ranks higher in Google search results. When someone in your area searches for the services you offer, SEO determines whether they find your business or your competitor. Integrity Marketing builds and executes SEO strategies for local businesses across the Pacific Northwest and nationwide.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Six Components of Our SEO Service

Every SEO engagement includes these six areas of focus. We do not pick and choose based on what is easiest. A complete strategy addresses all of them because rankings depend on how well they work together.

01

Local SEO

Google Business Profile optimization, local citation building, review strategy, and map pack ranking. For service-area businesses, local SEO is often the single highest-return investment you can make. We optimize your GBP listing, build consistent citations across directories, and implement a review generation strategy that strengthens your local authority.

02

On-Page SEO

Title tags, meta descriptions, header structure, internal linking, image optimization, and content alignment with search intent. These are the elements Google reads directly from your website. We audit every page and optimize them to match what your customers are searching for, then monitor performance and adjust over time.

03

Technical SEO

Site speed, mobile responsiveness, crawlability, indexation, structured data, and Core Web Vitals. If Google cannot efficiently crawl and understand your website, no amount of content or backlinks will fix your rankings. We identify and resolve technical issues that hold your site back from performing at its potential.

04

Link Building

Quality backlink acquisition through digital PR, guest content, local partnerships, and industry directories. Backlinks remain one of Google's strongest ranking signals. We build links through legitimate outreach and relationship-based methods. No paid link schemes, no private blog networks, no shortcuts that put your site at risk.

05

SEO Content Writing

Service pages, location pages, blog content, and supporting articles written to rank for specific keywords while communicating your expertise to potential customers. Content is what Google indexes and what your visitors read. We write content that serves both audiences: technically optimized for search engines and genuinely useful for the people reading it.

06

Keyword Research

Search volume analysis, competitor keyword mapping, intent classification, and keyword clustering that informs every piece of content and every optimization we make. Good keyword research is the foundation of a good SEO strategy. We identify the exact terms your customers use when searching for your services, then build your entire strategy around those terms.

POWERED BY APRIL AI

Five AI Agents Working on Your SEO Every Week

April is our proprietary AI platform built specifically for local SEO. Five specialized agents run continuous analysis across your campaign so nothing falls through the cracks.

The first agent monitors your keyword rankings daily and flags movements that need attention. The second agent analyzes your top competitors, tracking their content, backlinks, and ranking changes to identify opportunities we can act on. The third agent audits your website for technical issues, broken links, and crawl errors every week. The fourth agent identifies content gaps by comparing your site against the top-ranking pages for your target keywords. The fifth agent tracks your Google Business Profile performance, review velocity, and local citation accuracy.

These agents report findings to your strategist, who uses the data to prioritize the work that will move your rankings the most. It is not a replacement for human expertise. It is a way to make sure every decision is backed by current, comprehensive data rather than assumptions.

HOW IT WORKS

What the First 90 Days Look Like

SEO is a long-term investment, but we structure the work so progress is visible from the start. Here is what happens in the first three months and beyond.

01

Month 1: Audit and Strategy

We start with a full technical audit of your website, a competitive analysis of your market, and deep keyword research. This tells us exactly where you stand, what your competitors are doing, and where the biggest opportunities are. By the end of month one, you have a detailed strategy document outlining everything we plan to do and why.

02

Month 2: On-Page Optimization and Content

We implement on-page optimizations across your existing pages and begin creating new content targeting your highest-priority keywords. Title tags, meta descriptions, header structure, internal links, image alt text, and content updates all happen during this phase. We also set up or optimize your Google Business Profile.

03

Month 3: Link Building and Authority

With your on-page foundation in place, we begin building backlinks through outreach, local partnerships, digital PR, and directory submissions. This is the phase where your site begins gaining the external authority it needs to compete for the rankings that matter most in your market.

04

Ongoing: Reporting and Refinement

After the initial build-out, we shift into a cycle of monitoring, reporting, and refining. You receive a monthly report that shows ranking changes, traffic data, lead volume, and what we worked on that month. We adjust the strategy based on what the data tells us, not on guesswork. The longer a campaign runs, the stronger the results compound.

FEATURED CASE STUDY

Legacy Painting: From Page 3 to Position 1 in 6 Months

Legacy Painting came to us ranking on page 3 of Google for their primary service keywords. They were spending heavily on Google Ads because organic traffic was nearly nonexistent. Within 6 months, we moved their core keywords to page 1. Within 8 months, they held the number 1 position in the Map Pack for "painters near me" in their service area. Organic traffic increased 185% and organic leads grew by 280%. Today, organic search is their primary source of new business and their ad spend has been reduced by more than half.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Industries We Specialize In

Our SEO strategies are built for local and regional businesses that depend on being found in Google. We have deep experience in these industries, which means we already know the keywords, the competition, and the content that performs.

DA
"Most businesses we talk to have been burned by an SEO agency before. They paid for months and never saw results. The difference is in the details. We track every keyword, every ranking change, and every lead. If something is not working, we adjust it. If something is working, we scale it. There is no mystery to what we do. It just takes discipline and consistency."
Dylan Axelson, Director of Operations

SEO Questions We Hear Most

How long does SEO take to show results?

Most of our clients see measurable ranking improvements within 3 to 6 months. Some gains, like improved click-through rates from better title tags and meta descriptions, appear within weeks. Major keyword movements typically happen in months 3 through 6. SEO is a compounding investment. The results in month 12 are significantly stronger than in month 3, and the work we do early creates the foundation for everything that follows.

How much does SEO cost?

It depends on your market, your competition, and the scope of work required. We publish transparent pricing on our website so you can see starting rates before talking to anyone. During your consultation, we will review your specific situation and put together a proposal with clear pricing. No hidden fees and no surprises.

What is the difference between SEO and Google Ads?

SEO improves your organic rankings so you appear in Google search results without paying per click. Google Ads places your business in the paid section at the top of search results. SEO takes longer to build but generates traffic without ongoing ad spend. Google Ads delivers leads immediately but stops when you stop paying. Most of our clients use both together. Ads generate leads while SEO builds long-term visibility.

What is local SEO and why does it matter?

Local SEO focuses on ranking your business in location-based searches and the Google Map Pack. When someone searches "roofer near me" or "plumber in Kirkland," local SEO determines whether your business appears. It involves optimizing your Google Business Profile, building local citations, generating reviews, and creating location-specific content. For most local businesses, the Map Pack generates more phone calls than any other search result on the page.

Do I need a new website before starting SEO?

Not always. If your current website is functional, mobile-responsive, and reasonably fast, we can optimize it. If it has significant technical problems, is not mobile-friendly, or runs on an outdated platform, a website redesign may be a better starting point. We will tell you honestly during the consultation whether your current site can support an SEO campaign or whether you need a new foundation first.

Will I own all the SEO work you do on my site?

Yes. Every page we write, every optimization we make, and every piece of content we create belongs to you. If you decide to leave, everything stays on your website. We do not hold your work hostage, and we do not use proprietary systems that require our ongoing involvement to function.

How do you measure SEO success?

We track keyword rankings, organic traffic, leads generated from organic search, and conversion rates. You receive a monthly report with all of these metrics presented in plain language. We care about leads and revenue, not vanity metrics. Rankings matter because they drive traffic, and traffic matters because it drives leads. Every metric ties back to business outcomes you can measure.

Do you require a long-term contract for SEO?

No. We use 3 and 6 month initial agreements because SEO requires a minimum commitment to produce meaningful results. After the initial period, the engagement continues month to month. We earn your business with performance, not with contracts designed to lock you in.
