We were invisible on Google for anything useful. RL ran a two-week audit, fixed the technical issues in week three, and started producing content briefs that matched what people were actually searching for. Within six months we had a page-one position for our main category term. The monthly report is the first thing I read every time.

How the work is done

Three things that make
SEO compound.

Most SEO work stops at keyword research. Three things we do that most agencies skip entirely.

24 keywords. Chosen to win.

We pick 24 keywords per map -- small enough to be actionable, big enough to move revenue. Volume, commercial intent, and achievability scored for each one. Revised monthly.

  • Intent-first: searches that convert, not just searches with traffic
  • Achievability scored -- no terms you cannot rank for in six months
  • Revised monthly based on what moved and what the data shows
