Featured story

Zero to 350 visitors a day.

A local business came to Chris with a website nobody could find. No search traffic. None.

Chris rebuilt the local SEO foundation, wrote pages for the people they actually wanted to reach, and kept improving month after month. Within three months the site passed 1,000 search visits. A little over a year later it was pulling in 350 visitors every day, and those visitors stayed around three minutes each, which means they found what they came for.
