Is your business listed differently across the web?

Google compares what your website says about your business with what the rest of the web says. When your name, address or phone number is different from one site to the next, Google trusts your business less.

Some SEO companies make this worse. They stuff keywords into your business name on Google, which does nothing but hurt you, or they run review schemes that Google is actively taking down.

What we usually find

  • A different name, address or phone number on different sites
  • Keywords added to the business name on Google
  • Old listings with out-of-date details
  • No listing on directories Google trusts

We do off-site SEO without the shortcuts

We list your business under its real name, with the same address and phone number everywhere. We build citations on the directories Google trusts and earn links from relevant sites.

We don't use shortcuts that put your rankings at risk.

What we will not do

  • Stuff keywords into your business name
  • Coerce reviews or run review campaigns
  • Use link schemes

Frequently asked questions

What is off-site SEO?
It is the SEO work done away from your website. That includes your citations, your Google Business Profile, your listings on other sites, and the links that point to your website.
Will you get me more Google reviews?
We will advise you on how to ask for them. We don't run review campaigns and we don't coerce reviews. Google is actively taking down reviews that look fake, and we won't put your profile at risk.
Do you buy links?
No. We don't use link schemes or any shortcut that puts your rankings at risk.
Should I add keywords to my business name on Google?
No. It does nothing but hurt you, because your name stops matching the rest of your listings. Use your real business name.
How much does off-site SEO cost?
We don't list SEO pricing on the website. It depends on how many listings need fixing and how competitive your market is. You get a clear price after the free consultation.
