Search Engine Optimization Helps Your Website Get Found

Search Engine Optimization

What Is SEO?

Search Engine Optimization is the tasks performed to help get traffic from free, organic, editorial, or natural search results in search engines. It is like having a motor on your website. Without it, you have a boat in the water without an engine. Optimizing is having an expert perform the proper actions to ensure your site is functional and as practical as possible. Good on- and off-site strategies must be aligned to deliver the right targeted traffic to your site.

Why Is SEO Important?

Optimization aims to increase your opportunities to be chosen by search engines and help your business appear higher and more often in the organic and map section of search engines like Google, Yahoo, and BING. Appearing more often and closer to the top of the search engines increases your chances of being chosen by a consumer making a buying decision. 

Search engine optimization requires patience as it takes time to become recognizable by search engines, especially in competitive markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we hear from Maine and New Hampshire business owners about search engine optimization and our SEO packages.

SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the set of tasks performed to help your website earn free, organic traffic from search engines. Think of it like the motor on a boat — your website can be built and afloat, but without SEO it has no engine driving it forward. Good on-site and off-site strategy has to work together to deliver the right, targeted visitors to your site.
SEO increases the odds that search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing choose your site to show searchers — helping you appear higher and more often in both organic results and map listings. The closer to the top you appear, the more likely a consumer who's ready to buy will choose you.
SEO requires patience. It takes time for search engines to recognize and rank your site, especially in competitive markets. Consistent, ongoing effort — not a one-time fix — is what builds lasting visibility.
We offer three tiers — Gold, Silver, and Bronze — so you can choose the level of support that fits your business and budget. Pricing is customized, so we recommend a free, no-obligation consultation to review your goals and get a quote.

All three include Yext listings, a reviews feed, and AudioEye accessibility monitoring. From there:

  • Gold — full monthly SEO activity (Google Analytics, keyword research, sitemap, Search Console, link building), 4+ social posts per week, a monthly blog, ongoing website updates, and monthly reporting.
  • Silver — the same full monthly SEO activity and monthly blog, 2+ social posts per week, and quarterly (rather than monthly) reporting.
  • Bronze — light SEO and website edits (about 1 hour per month) with Google Analytics and a sitemap installed, plus 2+ social posts per week.
Yes, on the Gold and Silver plans. Gold includes four or more posts per week to Facebook and Instagram (plus holidays), and Silver includes two or more per week. You can send us photos, project updates, or "help wanted" posts anytime and we'll handle the rest.
Yext manages your business's key information — like your address, phone number, and hours — and pushes accurate, consistent listings out to more than 60 websites, including Google, Bing, and Facebook. It's included in every one of our SEO packages.
On our Gold and Silver packages, yes. We write a monthly blog using keyword-driven content relevant to your business and services, and boost each post to your social media to extend its reach.
Yes — a reviews feed is included in every SEO package. Your reviews can display on a dedicated testimonials page and as a floating widget, and includes a QR code that makes it easy for customers to leave a new review on Google, Facebook, and other industry-specific sites.
AudioEye is a program we install on your website to help monitor accessibility compliance. It's included across all three of our SEO packages, since accessibility matters for every business, regardless of budget tier.
It depends on your package. Gold includes in-depth monthly reporting, with us reaching out each month to review results and make recommendations. Silver includes the same in-depth reporting on a quarterly basis. Bronze focuses on light monthly SEO activity rather than formal reporting.
Pricing depends on which package — Gold, Silver, or Bronze — fits your needs. Call us for a free, no-obligation consultation and we'll walk through your goals and provide a quote.
