Twin Cities #1 Rated SEO Agency

SEO is an acronym for Search Engine Optimization and is the process of strategically improving a website to achieve a higher rank on relevant searches, with the goal of increasing the number of visitors to your website.

There is no set price for SEO, but on average business can expect to pay between $500 to $2000 per month. Many agencies charge based on factors ranging from the number of keywords included in a website (or the number of pages in a website), keyword competition within your industry + market, and your website’s current rank. Also, many times your business will pay for the reputation of the agency performing the services which goes right along with the saying, you get what you pay for.

Local SEO refers to optimizing your business for search engine rank within your local community and target market. For example, a plumber may want to rank within a specific service area and local SEO can help achieve that goal.

Technically yes, but if you're asking this question maybe you should think about looking for a professional. Many small businesses start off doing SEO themselves, but after the business grows they realize it's extremely time-consuming and outsourcing provides a much better ROI and return on time.

First, check their online reviews to see if they have similar complaints. Second, ask for a meeting to review year-over-year traffic, conversions, and monthly deliverables. SEO takes time to show quantifiable results, so being patient and also having realistic expectations is important. And third, if you still feel like something isn't right, request a proposal from another agency. Keep in mind, all SEO agencies know how to pick apart a competitor's work -- just to make a sale. This doesn't always mean they’ll do a better job in the long run.

Oh boy, you picked the wrong web designer - we've seen it many times. If you happened to hire a designer with little SEO experience they can fail by changing URLs but not 301 redirecting, removing important content, leaving a noindex meta tag, disallowing on the robots.txt, or not setting the SEO title properly.

Fortunately, not all is lost if you act quickly enough. A good SEO agency can rescue parts of the damage done by identifying and fixing what was missed.
