Your website needs to be fast, user-friendly, and free from glaring technical errors. This is a given with a website from Oak Harbor Web Design -- our sites outperform most sites on Wordpress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, and other CMS platforms. Our unique method gives us an instant advantage over slower competitors. We also crawl every site for 404 errors, canonical issues, 301 redirect chains, lack of proper heading structure, and more. We will also optimize the site's schema data, meta titles, meta descriptions, and everything else.

Do you have content on your site that can be competitive on Google? We perform intensive keyword research for every new client, and this helps us know which pages we need on the site and how to write them. For local service businesses, we blanket your region with pages that can rank for terms like: Painting company Seattle, WA Criminal defense attorney Seattle Physical therapy North Bend This network of pages will drive leads for your business. If you don't offer a local service, we can write, optimize and publish nationally-competitive top-level service pages, or build out an intuitive blog strategy that will generate leads or fill your remarketing strategy. Above all, our content strategies are based on data, executed with professional writing, and optimized to rank on Google.

Many of our clients receive a significant number of their leads from the Google Map Pack, thanks to excellent rankings for "near me" search terms. We will audit your Google Business Profile, fill it out with improved information, and audit your business name/address/phone information on web directories across the web. We also track your Google Map Pack rankings specifically, so that we can report on progress and adjust our strategy accordingly.

You need links from other websites pointing to your website. This has been the case for a long time, but Google gets increasingly picky about what it deems a "high quality link." We use our database of quality business directories, publisher relationships, and intentional outreach to land meaningful backlinks that help our clients rank better on Google.

If you have an established online presence, we may be able to attack some quick wins. For instance, if your website is riddled with 404 errors, has backlinks pointing to pages that no longer exist, and has 50 low quality service pages with very little content, we can often correct those issues and start increasing your lead volume in as little as three months.

However, if you are a startup in a competitive business category, it may take six months or longer. This is fine, since SEO is more of an investment rather than a quick transaction (if that's what you need, ask us about Google Ads). But you will need to prepare for months of backlink acquisition and content production before you start to see significant traffic and lead growth.
