It's simple. we know how to rank, without spending a ton.

Most marketing agencies are middle-men.
They own the customer relationship, but the actual work is done by people like us.
We do all our own SEO in-house.
We build our own blogs, research & create content, and manage ALL the SEO functions ourselves.
We can charge our customers "wholesale" prices because of that.
You get the better service and pay less.
The challenge we see with small business owners is time & money.
On the one hand they are busy running their business (no time), and on the other, they can't afford the typical marketing agency fees of 2–3k a month (money).
We step in to solve that problem.
We provide way better pricing AND more effective services.
It's a true win-win.
Unless you have a big Ads budget, I would suggest you curb your expectations.
This is where business owners set themselves up for disappointment.
You can monitor your progress each month, but to think that SEO is going to start working right away is just fantasy.
Manage your expectations and be 'long term greedy', then you will win.
It is rare for marketing agencies to actually provide the value they are charging for.
Most often, there is a perceived value that is being delivered; that is, you got a really nice website, but you are paying $3k a month over and over again for all these other services that you actually aren't getting.
Hence, my call to "fire your marketing agency".
The chart below categorizes each component, below that, we have summarized briefly what each of these components actually is, and how they effect the whole. SEO is truly a 'whole is greater than the sum of it's parts" type of thing. You can be strong in one of the components yet weak in another, and that will have an adverse affect on your results. Hence, having a system in place becomes so important. There are so many moving parts to SEO. At last count, Google's list of ranking factors was more than 200.

On-Page SEO refers to all the technical, and some non-technical factors that occur on the actual webpage. So for example, google reads not just the content of your pages, but also things like Title Tags & Meta Descriptions. These are important components to 'signal' to google that your page is relevant for the search query being performed. Next, there is the actual content and its quality; does the content inform the reader about all the aspects of the subject? Are there supporting hyper-links where the reader can learn more? Does the page have structured data? Structured data is one of the most overlooked features of on-page SEO and it's also the most commonly overlooked. We have a process for each and every page we create; from service pages to location pages. We are mindful of how to expand the subject business service area while making it easy for google to understand what the site is about and capturing as many relevant keywords as possible.
Title Tags– DON'T just stuff keywords in, be natural but DO use your primary KW
Meta Descriptions– Concise summary of what's on your page, use long tail KW
Schema– GET YOUR SCHEMA DONE RIGHT!

Off-Page SEO is also referred to as backlinks. These are links that other sites have pointed to your specific page. For example, if I am writing about Google, and I hyper-link a phrase which, when clicked, goes to google– that is a backlink. It's a vote of confidence, or sign of authority; and when a site accumulates a lot of those, it signals to google that you are an authority in that subject. Below is a great video by one of the top SEO guru's I know on backlinking.
We highly recommend QGP for backlinks. We are not affiliates.
