Our SEO services are built to help small businesses get found on Google by people already searching for what they sell. We're SEO Expert Marketing, a new, remote agency for small and local businesses in the USA, UK, Canada and Australia, with a focus on WordPress websites. Monthly plans start at $395 (USD), and you can begin with a free website review: we look at your site and email you the main issues and priorities we see, with no obligation.

Comparing providers? Our guide to choosing an SEO company lists the questions to ask any agency, including us.

What SEO services include

SEO (search engine optimization) means making your website easier for search engines to understand and more useful for the people who land on it. The work is usually grouped into on-page, technical, off-page and local SEO, plus the research, content and measurement behind them. For a typical small business website:

  • Research: the searches your customers make and what already ranks for them.
  • On-page SEO: clear titles, headings and service pages that answer real questions.
  • Technical SEO: broken pages, slow templates, missing sitemaps and anything that stops Google reading your site.
  • Off-page SEO (links and reputation): links and mentions from real websites, earned with useful content and genuine local relationships, never bought. SEO Authority includes a backlink analysis; your proposal states any outreach included.
  • Local SEO: your Google Business Profile and consistent business details.
  • Content: new pages and articles written for customers, not word counts.
  • Measurement: Search Console and GA4 (Google Analytics 4) set up properly, tracked keywords and a plain-English report.

Not every business needs all of these SEO services. Each area has its own page below, and your written proposal confirms which work is included and the price.

Which SEO services fit your problem: local, technical, ecommerce or consulting

Our services, area by area

Each of our SEO services has its own page with what it covers and how the work is done.

Local SEO: show up for nearby customers

For plumbers, dentists, salons and other businesses serving a town or region. Local SEO focuses on your Google Business Profile, consistent business details across the web, useful location and service pages, and a simple routine for asking real customers for reviews.

Ecommerce SEO: help your products get found

For online shops. Ecommerce SEO covers category structure, original product descriptions instead of copied manufacturer text, filter pages (the many near-identical URLs created when shoppers filter by size or color) and out-of-stock products.

Technical SEO: fix what stops Google reading your site

Technical SEO deals with crawling and indexing (whether Google can find and store your pages): broken links, redirects that lead to more redirects, duplicate pages, slow page templates, mobile layout problems, sitemaps and the robots.txt file that guides crawlers. On WordPress sites, this often includes plugin and theme issues.

SEO audit: a clear list of what to fix first

An SEO audit reviews your site and turns what it finds into a prioritized list, so your time and budget go to the problems that matter most. Every plan starts with one, as it's part of SEO Starter. Not sure where to begin? Start with the free website review.

Keyword research: target the words customers use

Keyword research finds the searches behind your products and services, groups them by intent (what the searcher wants to do) and maps each group to one page. That stops your own pages competing with each other and shows which new pages are worth writing.

Consulting: practical advice while your team does the work

If you or your developer would rather do the work in-house, we can give you a plan, a second opinion and straight answers, for example before a redesign or a move to a new domain. Tell us what you need through the contact form; your proposal confirms the format and price.

Which service fixes what our free audit finds

Our free SEO audit tool checks your home page and a few files every site has (robots.txt, the sitemap, llms.txt). It runs up to 49 checks in 7 sections that add up to 100 points, and every check that fails names the job that fixes it. This table is the same mapping the tool uses, so you can see which of our SEO services a low section points to.

Security (8)HTTPS, a valid certificate, http sending visitors to https, insecure files, HSTSTechnical SEOFix Pack, $199

Two things the tool can't see from your home page: what your buyers search for and which sites link to you. So the 30-day plan at the end of every report also adds a Keyword Research Report ($79) and, once the site is in shape, link outreach ($149 for 3 links). Every job is on our SEO price list, and the same SEO services run month by month in the plans below.

Prices: three monthly plans (USD)

SEO isn't a one-time fix: Google keeps recrawling and competitors keep publishing, so our done-for-you SEO services run monthly under one of three plans.

PlanMonthlyOn a yearly planWhat's included
SEO Starter$395/month$295/monthA full SEO audit, website repairs, Search Console and Analytics (GA4) set up, local SEO, SEO content (up to 2 new or improved pages a month), 5 search phrases tracked, updates on request and website tracking, monthly report
SEO Growth$795/month$595/monthEverything in Starter, plus 15 keywords tracked, keyword research and mapping, internal linking, competitor analysis, monthly report
SEO Authority$1,495/month$1,095/monthEverything in Growth, plus 30 keywords tracked, backlink analysis, content-gap analysis, automation solutions, weekly report

Starter is built for small and local businesses. Growth suits growing businesses that need keyword mapping and competitor analysis.

Monthly plans have no minimum term: you can cancel any time. Plans are paid by Remitly, Wise or bank transfer, and your proposal explains the work, price in USD and responsibilities before you commit.

Does it matter where your SEO provider is based?

Not usually. We deliver our SEO services remotely, without local offices, because the work happens inside your website, Business Profile and analytics. Our business address is in Sheridan, Wyoming, USA.

Where your agency is based also doesn't decide where your business shows up in local results. Our local SEO page explains what Google's Business Profile Help says matters instead, such as complete, accurate business details and reviews.

Who we're a good fit for, and who we're not

Our SEO services are likely a good fit if:

  • You run a small or local service business, and customers search Google for what you offer.
  • Your site runs on WordPress, our main focus.
  • Your site needs repairs before SEO can work (website repairs are part of SEO Starter; your proposal confirms the scope).
  • You can give SEO several months and want plain reports on what was done.

We're probably not right if you need leads this week (ads can work faster), want a promise of top rankings, or want shortcuts such as bought links: we don't buy links or use link schemes. Very large sites with in-house SEO teams are also outside our focus.

How long SEO takes

Changes from SEO services show up gradually. Google's SEO Starter Guide says some changes might take effect in a few hours, while others could take several months, and suggests waiting a few weeks before judging whether a change helped. So plan in months, not weeks.

Early on, most of the work is groundwork: the initial SEO audit, setting up Search Console and GA4, choosing the keywords to track and fixing the biggest technical errors, so your first reports mostly show that work rather than ranking changes. Building content and reputation in a busy market takes longer.

How to judge any SEO provider, including us

Google's guide to hiring an SEO suggests interviewing an SEO before hiring and asking what results they expect, in what timeframe, and how they measure success. Also ask who does the work, what's included each month, and whether your Search Console and Analytics accounts stay in your name.

Google also suggests asking for examples of past work, asking how long a provider has been in business and checking references with past clients. We're a new agency, so we don't have published client results to show yet. Instead, the free website review shows you how we think, with real findings about your own site, before you spend anything. You can read more about us on our about page.

Start with a free website review

Send your website and goals through our free website review form. We'll review the site and reply by email with the main issues we see and the priorities we'd recommend. There's no obligation. It's the simplest way to find out which of our SEO services, if any, your site needs.
