SEO in Denver starts with a problem most towns don't have. Search "Denver plumber" from anywhere but the west shore and Google is likely to show you Colorado. Your site has to leave no doubt that you mean Denver, North Carolina, and then it has to beat the Lake Norman businesses on the other side of the water.
Three things Google weighs
For local results Google looks at relevance, distance and prominence. Distance is fixed; you can't move your shop closer to every customer. Relevance and prominence can be built: how clearly your pages match what people type, and how much the rest of the web backs you up.
Relevance
Pages that say what you do and where, in the words your customers use.
Distance
Fixed by your address or service area. We make sure Google has it right.
Prominence
Reviews, mentions and links that show you are a real, active business.
How Denver searches behave
Denver is unincorporated, so people describe it several ways. Some type "Denver NC," some type "Lake Norman," some type "Lincoln County" and a lot just type "near me." Businesses in Mooresville, Cornelius and Huntersville claim "Lake Norman" too, so a Denver company needs pages that hold their ground on all of those phrasings without turning into a pile of copies with the town name swapped. Google treats those as spam, and so do we.
The first month
We start by cleaning up what's there. Services get pages of their own, duplicates get merged, location details get fixed, and the site gets structured data that spells out the state and county. If you're on one of our hand-coded websites, most of this is already done.
After that, every month
- New pages aimed at searches people around Denver actually make.
- Google profile work from the profile playbook, done together with you.
- Technical checks on titles, speed, links and structured data.
- A check-in on what moved and what we're tackling next.
Price
Local SEO is priced after a free review of your business, and the number is in writing before month one. See the price schedule for everything that has a fixed price.
Who tends to see results first
Businesses people need quickly: HVAC, plumbing, towing, roofing, pest control, dock and boat-lift repair. If word of mouth already fills your calendar, a better website may be the smarter first step, and the free review will say so.
Notes on local SEO
Note 1What does local SEO cost in Denver?
It depends on your trade, how many companies are chasing the same searches and what shape your site is in now. Roger looks at all three for free, then gives you a monthly price in writing.
Note 2Can you guarantee a top spot?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. What we can promise is that the work gets done every month and that you'll hear what moved and what's next.
Note 3Will you post fake reviews?
Never. We'll help you ask real customers at the right moment, with a link that makes it easy, and help you answer the reviews you get.
