SEO basics

Make your website easy for Google to find.

Basic setup so the site is easier to find in search results. The technical groundwork most small-business sites are missing — done properly, explained plainly.

Why this matters

Search engines are readers, too. If your pages all share one generic title, your business details are buried in an image, or the site takes eight seconds to load on a phone, Google has a hard time understanding what you do — and an easy time showing someone else instead.

SEO is what we sell, so we’re particular about it. This is the groundwork we put into every site we build, applied to the site you already have.

What we set up

  • Page titles and descriptions — written for each page, so search results show what the page is actually about and give people a reason to click.
  • Headings that make sense — one clear main heading per page and a logical structure underneath it.
  • Structured data — machine-readable details about your business, services and contact information that search engines use directly.
  • Sitemap and robots file — so search engines can find every page you want found, and skip the ones you don’t.
  • Google Search Console — connected, verified and checked for indexing problems and errors.
  • Speed and mobile — the fixes that most affect how fast and usable the site feels on a phone.
  • Images — compressed, properly sized, and described with alt text.
  • Broken links and redirects — dead ends fixed, old addresses pointed to the right new ones.

What you get at the end

A short report in plain English: what we found, what we changed, and anything we’d still recommend. No jargon, no 40-page audit you’ll never read.

Signs you need it

When your site is invisible.

You can’t find yourself

Search for what you do in your town and you’re nowhere on the first page.

Your search result looks wrong

Google shows an odd title, an old description, or the wrong page entirely.

Nobody set it up

You’ve never heard of Search Console, and you’re not sure anyone has checked.

Questions

Fair questions.

Can you guarantee a #1 ranking?

No — and be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google’s results. What we can do is remove the problems that stop search engines from understanding your site, so it competes on a level field.

How long until I see results?

Search engines need time to re-crawl and re-evaluate a site, so changes typically show up over weeks, not days. Fixing outright errors can help sooner.

Is this ongoing monthly SEO?

No. SEO basics is a one-time setup that gets the foundations right. Many small businesses don’t need more than that plus good, regular upkeep from a care plan.

Is this included when you build my site?

Yes. Every new site and redesign ships with these fundamentals. SEO basics is for sites that already exist.
