Scappoose SEO
Hello,
I wonder what brought you here? Are you here to educate yourself on how SEO works? There’s so much written about the how’s and why’s of it all. I wouldn’t be able to do it justice here. It’s something not many people understand, yet is one of the most important things for businesses to succeed in the age of google! Mostly I’m writing these words to let you know yes… I can help you. Probably better than 99% of the SEO companies out there. Not from ego or anything like that, but from a place of education and partnerships.
You see, I’ve studied and partnered with some of the best and most successful minds in SEO. We take a maps first approach. Why? Well… think about how you have evolved to research companies and products online. What’s the first thing you do?
Well… You type in a word or phrase of what you’re looking for.
Then in the results, if it’s a search that triggers a maps listing, you see the ones in the Maps top 3. You probably don’t go past the top 3 and end up selecting one or two of them to look at their reviews. You might check out their website to see services or menu or something.
Finally you’ll click on the directions or phone button on your phone to call or go there. Notice I said “on your phone” This is extremely important to acknowledge. Google is constantly evolving to take into account not just how well your website responds to different mobile devices -referred to as a “responsive” website or “responsive web design”- but also the location of the person searching relative to your business!
Yes this means you could show up in the top 3 of google maps if the person searching for your business is standing right outside your door… but what happens when they’re a block away? What happens when they’re just half a mile away?!?! Depending on how well your GMB and website are set up to reflect each other IS the difference between being seen in a larger geographic area, and NOT being seen. This is what I refer to as Maps Visibility!
I have learned how to get your business seen in maps whether the searcher is right outside your door, or across town. All I do is follow Googles guidelines, teach it who and where you are and the results are fantastic.
“How quickly can I get my business seen?” you might be wondering? That’s an excellent question!
How competitive is your business category?
How well is your website set up for google to understand what, where and who you are?
How well is your business established across the internet?
How do you even do that?
There’s lots that goes into getting you ranked in the top 3 of the google snack pack. There’s a lot that goes into a Maps Visibility first approach. On average I see companies I work with Get ranked in under 6 months. Sometimes less than 3 once I have gone in and helped them get optimized.
Finally… something I haven’t mentioned till now is this… Google is evolving to move organic search further and further down the page. You may have noticed when you type in a search for maybe let’s say… a plumber. The first things you see at the top of the page are the Google Guaranteed businesses. We can talk more about that later… next down the page you will find up to 3 paid ads… then you come to the Maps listing (Maps top 3 or snack pack) and THEN you finally get to organic results.
Most people are beginning to not get much further than the Maps top 3. If you’re in one of those positions for your business niche, you will be getting the calls you’re looking for.
