    SEO Consultant & Web Designer in New Orleans

    I’ve been helping small businesses grow through SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for nearly ten years. I spent the first six at an award winning agency in South Carolina. After moving to Metairie in 2020, I started my own SEO agency.

    I’m passionate about helping local businesses get more eyes on their brand, acquire quality leads, and grow profitably – and I believe (for most local businesses) SEO is one of the best ways to do all three.

    I would love to talk to you if:

    • You want to see if we’d be a good fit to work together
    • You’re not sure SEO is a great investment for you
    • You’re currently investing in SEO, but aren’t sure how it’s going
    LET'S TALK

    An SEO Process that Works

    Increase your rankings on search engines, beat out your competition on Google, and get more business.
    Competitor Analysis

    It all starts by evaluating your competition. Here we dig into what they’re doing well and where the biggest gaps between you lie.

    Topic + Keyword Research

    From there we get familiar with your service offerings and the subject matter surrounding them in order to identify what keywords to target and how.

    Content Optimization

    We audit your existing content and make on-page optimizations to ensure search engines (and users) deeply understand your content.

    Citations + GMB

    Citations and listings help build trust and credibility, while your Google My Business profile is a goldmine for search engine visibility.

    Link Building

    We get to work building backlinks from local sources to establish local relevance, and from authority sites help establish expertise and trust.

    Blog Content

    Blog content can open the door to all kinds of SEO opportunities – all while building trust with customers and nurturing leads.

    Common Search Engine Optimization FAQ

    How much does SEO cost?

    SEO costs depend on the keywords you want to target, your competition, how you currently rank, and how quickly you want to rank. My local SEO packages typically range from $750/mo for lower competition industries up to $2000/mo for higher competition industries.

    How should I go about choosing a New Orleans SEO company?

    There are some great SEO firms in New Orleans, outside of my own. First, I’d say make sure the company has proven experience and can show case studies of successful SEO campaigns within your industry (or a similar industry at least). Also, ask them for a mapped out gameplan and a forecast – nothing is guaranteed in SEO, but a good SEO will have a rough idea of how long it should take you to rank. Lastly, make sure they’re people you genuinely would want to work with.

    Do I need a website first before doing SEO?

    I would definitely recommend it. You could rank a Google Business Profile without a website, but a website definitely helps ranking potential, adds validity, and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg these days. It also allows you to rank outside of the local map pack as well, in the organic rankings.

    What's the difference between local SEO and typical SEO?

    Local SEO is all about ranking locally – usually for keywords like [your service] in [your location]. For local searches, you’ve got a huge opportunity in the local map pack as well as the organic results, so a big emphasis is placed on Google Business Profile, local citations, and local links.

    Is New Orleans a competitive city for local SEO?

    It depends on the industry and how many competitors are really investing in SEO. It’s probably no surprise restaurants and hotels are extremely competitive. The roofing, landscaping, and air conditioning industries are fairly competitive as well. That said, some industries aren’t as difficult to rank in New Orleans as they might be in similar-sized cities.
