Strategies Utilized in Our SEO Services

Here are some things you can expect in your custom strategy when you partner with us:

Keyword research

One of the main purposes of SEO is to help you rank for the terms most relevant to your business so your ideal customer can find you on the web.

An experienced SEO agency like Sixth City can diligently research which terms have the potential to get you the most leads and traffic and then incorporate them throughout your site within high-quality content.

Competitor analysis

No good strategy is created without understanding what you are up against. And we understand how Google is constantly evolving and changing who they rank for queries.

To help us craft the perfect combination of tactics to get your website where it needs to be, examining your competitors is highly important, whether you are a local business trying to rank in the local pack or a national company wanting to move up in organic SERPs. We do manual research to see who is ranking on Google and utilize our toolset to analyze what your site is missing.

Content optimization

The copy you have on your pages is not only important for your customers but also for search engines as well. Search engines have the ability to evaluate your content’s quality, authority, helpfulness, and more and then grade your pages to see where they should rank. 

Our in-house writing team has vast experience optimizing service, location, and product pages. As well as the ability to create concise blog content to help you rank for long-tail keywords.

SEO for AI visibility

We know that your ideal customer is doing more than just a simple Google search. Now, they’re relying on tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini to research brands, read reviews, and do deeper dives into what product or service meets their needs. We don’t optimize just for AI, but instead we optimize for the search engines that the AI models train on and use to generate their answers. We will look to see what sources AI uses to answer queries related to your brand, as well as create content that isn’t generic but exudes authority and expertise to improve your likelihood of being cited.

Link building

Having a strong profile of backlinks can help your domain gain authority and trustworthiness, while showcasing your expertise in your niche.

In short, gaining more links to your site can give you the foundation you need to rank above your competitors. We’ve learned over the years what works and what doesn’t for various industries and have a unique approach to link building that ensures you are gaining quality backlinks at a consistent rate.

Technical improvements

Outside of on-page adjustments, various aspects behind the scenes can factor into your rankings. Ensuring your website is at its best when it comes to load time, security, and more is top of mind for any committed SEO company.

Google and other search engines factor in your entire website’s structure for ranking, so our SEO agency optimizes your site to meet search engine standards and improve aspects such as usability, metadata, image alt and title tags, schema, and more.

Local enhancements

If your business serves a specific area, such as orthodontists, gyms, or plumbers, your business actually requires a dedicated local SEO approach in order to improve your business’ appearance on search engines.

Through vigorous trial and error, we’ve cracked the code on what it takes to help your Google Business Profile get into the local pack and can apply our tried and true methods to your business to help get it to rank in the areas you desire.

Conversion optimization

Increasing qualified traffic to your business via SEO strategies is one thing, but having a website that is optimized to encourage visitors to convert is a whole other ballgame.

By utilizing various tools and our design team, we are able to assess your site structure, page layout, calls to action, and various other site factors to determine what it will take to improve your conversion rates, make strategic changes, and monitor the outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions About SEO Services

What are monthly SEO services?

Search engine optimization services are often offered by SEO agencies and consultants on a monthly basis to improve your company’s standings on search engines and drive more leads. SEO isn’t something that magically works overnight, unfortunately, but steps can be taken right away so that you can begin to see improvement within a few months. Agreements for SEO projects typically have a 6–12-month duration initially, with many companies seeing the value of the work and continuing with an ongoing retainer. 

When should I consider doing SEO?

There are many reasons why business owners should consider partnering with an SEO agency, such as

• Your website isn’t being found online when you search for your product or service
• You recently launched a new website and your traffic has suddenly dropped
• The quantity of organic leads has steadily gone down after an update from Google

How long does it take to see results from SEO?

SEO is a marathon, not a sprint, and everything we implement will improve your website’s online presence for years to come. Some tactics help move the needle quicker than others, so while we often start to see positive shifts in your keywords a month or two into working with you, it can take 3-6 months to start seeing steady results.

What is local SEO?

Local search engine optimization is the practice of having a specific regional focus on the strategies we implement. For example, helping you rank for terms such as “X near me” or “X services in Chicago.” Businesses that rely on having a physical location, such as gyms, dentists, and the like, are the industries that will need to put extra attention into their local marketing efforts.

How much do SEO services cost?

Unlike other SEO companies, we don’t have a one-price-fits-all model for our services, as we provide different packages to give our customers options. If you would like to learn more about the pricing of our services, feel free to schedule a meeting with our team.

Do different search engines require different SEO strategies?

While there can be some slight differences in approach between search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, and others, focusing efforts primarily on Google tends to be the best course, as work done for that search engine will also benefit others. But more importantly, the vast majority of online searches are conducted through Google, with as much as 82.74% of desktop traffic and a whopping 95.16% of mobile traffic being claimed by the company as of 2024.

Can SEO and PPC work together?

Absolutely! SEO and PPC can both be great channels for getting more business, with each having its benefits. While it may be incorrect to say that they “work together” in that they do not directly interrelate, they can be great complements to each other, drawing in users in different ways. Our SEO company also provides PPC services to ensure all of our clients’ bases are covered.
