SEO Services for Small Business

Get found on Google

Monthly SEO packages built for small businesses and startups. 100+ point technical audits, keyword strategy backed by real data, content that ranks, and transparent reporting every month. No contracts. No fluff.

Plans from $450/mo. Select plans include a free custom website.

What you actually get each month

Every monthly SEO engagement includes a 100+ point technical audit refresh, weekly keyword rank tracking, on-page work across priority templates (title tags, meta descriptions, H1s, internal links, schema), two to four pieces of long-form content targeting specific keyword clusters, Google Business Profile optimization for local visibility, and a monthly report pulling from Search Console, Analytics, and Semrush. No lock-in contracts, no minimum terms, and no opaque line items. You always know what we did and what moved.

Local SEO for Las Cruces and beyond

For businesses serving a specific city or region, local SEO is the highest-leverage channel. We optimize your Google Business Profile with properly-categorized services, geotagged photos, and a review generation flow.

We build location-specific landing pages with LocalBusiness schema, NAP consistency across the top 50 directories, and content that targets the way your customers actually search: plumber Las Cruces, web design El Paso, SEO company Albuquerque.

Local work compounds: the citations, reviews, and GBP authority keep paying dividends long after the month ends. Based in the Mesilla Valley, we run Las Cruces SEO for local businesses out of our home market.

Research-backed, not marketing-talk

We published our State of Small Business Websites 2026 study: 292 real small business websites scanned, full dataset open under CC BY 4.0. The headline finding is that only 3.1% of small business sites pass all three Core Web Vitals thresholds on mobile.

The deeper finding is that the failure is specifically about first paint latency, not layout stability. That study shapes how we prioritize technical work for every client.

Our follow-up AI Visibility Study measured something newer: the crawlers behind ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity fetch your site but do not run its JavaScript, and 1 in 4 small business sites hide answer-critical content from them. Modern SEO is no longer just ranking on Google, it is staying readable to AI search. We build and audit for both, which is the gap most agencies have not noticed yet.

Realistic timelines and the AI Overviews reality

Days 1 to 30 is audit, foundation fixes, and content kickoff. Days 30 to 60 is when indexing cleanups and on-page changes start showing in Search Console impressions. Days 60 to 90 is when rankings and organic traffic move in a way you can point at on a chart.

Anyone promising page-one results in 30 days is either lying or about to get your domain penalized. We also optimize for how search actually works now: AI Overviews, AI Mode, and zero-click features.

That means FAQ schema, direct-answer blocks at the top of each article, llms.txt files, and structured data that both Google and ChatGPT can parse cleanly.

Our Process

Systematic, not guesswork

Every SEO engagement follows the same five-step process. We audit with real data, build strategy around actual search volume and difficulty, optimize every page for its target keyword, build authority through content and backlinks, and report on what moved and why.

This is the same methodology we use on our own site. We practice what we sell.

FAQ

SEO questions, answered

How much does SEO cost for a small business?

Our plans start at $450/month for foundational SEO: technical audit, on-page optimization, keyword tracking, and monthly reporting. Premium plans add content strategy, competitive analysis, link building, and deeper technical work. Select plans include a free custom website build. Most small businesses spend between $450 and $1,500/month depending on competition and goals.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Most clients see measurable ranking improvements within 3-4 months. Significant traffic gains typically happen in months 4-6. SEO is a long-term investment that compounds: the work you do in month one keeps generating returns in month twelve and beyond.

What is local SEO and do I need it?

Local SEO optimizes your business for geographic searches like 'web design Las Cruces' or 'SEO services El Paso.' It includes Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, review management, and location-specific content. If you serve customers in a specific area, local SEO is how they find you.

Do you guarantee first page rankings?

No ethical SEO company can guarantee specific rankings. Google's algorithm has hundreds of factors and changes constantly. What we guarantee is a systematic, data-driven process, transparent reporting, and measurable progress toward your goals every month.

What is the difference between technical SEO and on-page SEO?

Technical SEO makes sure Google can find and crawl your site: site speed, mobile-friendliness, indexing, schema markup, Core Web Vitals. On-page SEO optimizes what Google sees on each page: title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, keyword placement, internal linking. You need both.

What is included in the monthly report?

Keyword ranking changes, organic traffic data, Core Web Vitals scores, backlink profile updates, actions completed, and a clear plan for next month. You always know exactly what was done, what changed, and what is coming next.

Can you help if my website is not showing up on Google?

Yes. This is one of the most common problems we solve. The usual causes are indexing issues, missing sitemaps, robots.txt blocking, thin content, or no backlinks. We diagnose the specific cause with our 100+ point audit and fix it. Most sites see indexing improvements within 2-4 weeks.

What makes your SEO different from other agencies?

We are engineers, not marketers. Our audits run 100+ checks using real browser rendering (the same technology Google uses). We build websites and SEO strategies with the same rigor we apply to AI research. No templates, no generic advice. Data-driven decisions, transparent reporting, and code-level technical SEO.
