About Roughstock SEO Co., honest digital marketing for local businesses
Here's what to know about Roughstock SEO Co. We're a Clearwater, Florida agency that helps local businesses get found online and turn searches into customers.
What makes us different
Too many business owners have been burned by marketing companies that lock them into long contracts, send confusing reports, and never explain what they're actually doing.
Roughstock SEO Co. was built to be the opposite. We keep things simple, we do the work the right way, and we measure ourselves by one thing: whether your phone is ringing more.
Our promise to you
- No long-term contracts
- Plain-English communication
- Proven, above-board methods
- You own your website and accounts
- Focus on leads and revenue, not vanity metrics
What we believe
Results over buzzwords
Rankings and traffic matter only if they bring you customers. That's what we measure.
Honesty first
We tell you what's working, what isn't, and what we recommend, even when it's not what you want to hear.
Built to last
No shortcuts or tricks that risk your business. Just solid work that keeps paying off.

What we do
Search-focused services for businesses in Clearwater and across Tampa Bay.
SEO
Rank higher on Google for the services you sell, so the people already searching find you instead of a competitor. We start with the searches that lead to calls and booked jobs, fix what is holding your site back, build the pages that are missing, and earn the links and reviews that build trust. You get plain-English updates on rankings, traffic, and leads.
Local SEO
Show up in the Google Map Pack and "near me" searches across Clearwater and Tampa Bay. We optimize your Google Business Profile, build a steady flow of reviews, and clean up your listings so Google trusts where you work.
Content SEO
Service and location pages that answer the questions your customers ask and earn rankings for them. Every page is built around one search and one clear next step.
Technical SEO
Site speed, mobile usability, indexing, and structured data fixed so nothing holds your rankings back. We find the problems Google sees and you don't, then fix them.
Off-site SEO
Links and mentions from relevant, trustworthy sites that tell Google you are the real deal. No link schemes and no shortcuts that put your rankings at risk.
Web Design
Fast, mobile-friendly websites built to turn visitors into phone calls and form fills. Every page has a clear message, a clear next step, and the SEO foundation it needs to rank in Clearwater and across Tampa Bay. You own the site, the domain, and the content.
Web Development
Custom features, integrations, and fixes for websites that need more than a template. We work on new builds and on the site you already have.
Website Support
Updates, backups, and fixes handled for you, so your site stays fast and secure. When something breaks or needs changing, you have someone to call.
AIO / GEO
Get your business recommended in AI answers from Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and other AI search tools. These tools pull from sources they trust, so we make the information about your business clear, consistent, and easy for them to read. It builds on good SEO rather than replacing it.
Automations
Automated follow-ups, reminders, and a CRM set up around how you sell, so no lead slips through the cracks. When a lead comes in, the next step happens on its own. You spend less time chasing people and more time doing the work.
IT Support
Dependable help with the email, devices, and accounts your business runs on. We set things up properly, keep them secure, and fix problems when they come up, so technology stops getting in the way of the work.
