Real Results From Businesses We've Worked With

Based in Marina Del Rey, here is what that work has looked like for other businesses we have taken on.

We took Gabriel at Peninsula Holiday Lights from page 4 of Google into the Map Pack (top 3) for his holiday lighting install business in the South Bay, Bay Area. Demand grew enough that he had to hire extra help last season, and his rankings, calls, and quote requests have kept climbing since.

We took Sara Southard at The Liquid Wanderer from no website and no rankings at all to page 1 of Google for her most important keywords.

Why Houston businesses end up stuck with "SEO" that does nothing

Reports, not results

A monthly PDF that never explains why rankings and calls have not moved.

Half-finished technical fixes

Broken links, missing schema, and slow pages quietly undoing every other SEO effort on the site.

No real keyword strategy

Content written for what sounds good, not what buyers are actually typing into Google.
