The problem it solves
Someone in Horizon City types “AC repair” into a phone on a June afternoon. Google shows three businesses on a map, then a page of links. Whether yours is on that screen depends on things you can check and fix: whether Google can read your site, whether a page matches that search, whether your phone number is the same everywhere it appears, and whether customers have reviewed you.
SEO is that work, done every month, for the searches that bring you jobs.
What Google says before you hire anyone
Google publishes a short guide on hiring an SEO. It says no one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google, and it suggests four questions: can the SEO show examples of past work, do they follow Google Search Essentials, what results should you expect and how soon, and how will they tell you what they change. Google also says there is no way to pay for a better position on the map.
Ask us the same questions. The last three are answered in writing, in the quote.
What usually holds an El Paso site back
A page that says “serving El Paso” and nothing else, when a customer in Northeast wants to know if you drive up Dyer. One page for every service, so a search for “water heater installation” lands on a general page that never mentions water heaters. A phone number on an old directory listing that no longer rings. A Spanish “version” that is a translate button, which leaves Google no Spanish page to show, in a city where about 63% of residents age 5 and up speak Spanish at home.
None of that is fixed by buying links or stuffing the city name into every sentence.
What the work looks like here
The technical problems get fixed on the site itself. Each service and each part of town you actually serve gets a page that answers what a customer there wants to know, in English and in Spanish. Your listings match. Every month you see what changed and what it did, in your own Search Console, with no ranking promises. A plumber covering the Eastside, a dental office in Las Cruces and a Juárez supplier chasing El Paso buyers need different pages, and the keyword map says which ones.
What’s included
- A technical check and the fixes.
- Crawl errors, slow pages, broken links, missing titles and descriptions, duplicate pages and the sitemap, read from Search Console and fixed on the site, not just listed in a report.
- A keyword map.
- The searches your customers type, in English and Spanish, each assigned to one page, so your own pages stop competing with each other for the same words.
- Page work.
- Titles, headings and copy rewritten around those searches, plus new pages where a service or a part of town has none. Written for the person reading first.
- Consistent local listings.
- Your name, address and phone the same on the site, Google, Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, Facebook and the directories that count here.
- Structured data.
- Markup that tells search engines your business type, hours, service area and FAQs, generated from the same facts that are on the page.
- Spanish pages done properly.
- Written in Spanish on their own addresses, with hreflang so a searcher in Juárez or the Lower Valley gets the Spanish page and a searcher on the Westside gets the English one.
- A monthly report you can read.
- What we changed, which searches brought people in, calls and form fills from search, and what comes next. Numbers from your own Search Console and analytics.
How it works
The same order every time: nothing is built, and nothing is paid, until you have seen your sample and the written quote.
Tell us about your business
What you sell, which parts of town you cover and the searches you wish you showed up for. A person reads it and replies the way you chose.
Where you stand today
We look at your site, your Google Business Profile, Search Console if you have it, and who shows up today for your searches. You get what we found and a fixed written quote.
You approve
Say yes to the quote and give us access to the site, Search Console and the profile. Access is shared from your accounts, so nothing leaves your name.
Fixes and the first report
The technical fixes go in first, then the keyword map, titles and structured data. At the end of the first month you get the first report: what changed and what Search Console shows.
The monthly work
New and rewritten pages, listings kept consistent, the profile kept current, and a short report each month with the plan for the next one.
As little as 48 hours of lead time covers most projects. Larger sites, online stores and sites with booking or ordering systems get their own dated timeline in the written quote.
How pricing works
Every business needs a different set of pieces, so every quote is written for yours. You see your free sample and a fixed written quote before you pay anything. Here is how a quote works.
- Agency-quality work at small-business prices, quoted in writing before anything starts.
- A fixed written quote. No surprise invoices.
- You can own your website instead of renting it: no monthly website fee, with the domain, files and accounts in your name.
- Pay for the services you actually need. Every package is built à la carte.
Questions
Can you guarantee first place on Google?
No, and you should be careful with anyone who does. Google's guide on hiring an SEO says plainly that no one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google. What we put in writing is the work: what we change each month and why, with the numbers pulled from your own Search Console.
How long does SEO take to show results?
Fixes to titles, broken pages and missing Spanish pages count once Google crawls the site again. Moving up for a competitive search like a trade plus El Paso usually takes months, and it depends on what the businesses above you are doing. Google suggests asking any SEO what results to expect and in what timeframe; your quote answers that for your searches.
What is the difference between SEO and Google Ads?
Ads buy a spot at the top for as long as you pay per click. SEO works on the unpaid results and the map, which take longer to move and do not switch off the day a budget runs out. Many businesses run ads while the SEO work catches up; the Google Ads management page explains how we set that up.
Do I need a new website before you start?
Usually not. If the site is reasonably fast and we can edit titles, headings and pages, we work on what you have. If it is built on something that cannot change those, or it has no room for Spanish pages, we tell you before quoting, and a redesign is priced separately with every old address redirected so you keep what already ranks.
Do you do SEO in Spanish?
Yes, and it is planned separately, because people do not search the same words in both languages. A customer may type "plomero en El Paso" where an English search says "plumber near me". Spanish pages are written in Spanish around the words people type, each one linked to its English twin with hreflang so Google serves the right version to the right person.
Who owns the work if I stop?
You do. The pages and copy live on your site, and Search Console, analytics and your Google Business Profile are in your name from day one. If you stop, everything we built stays, and you keep the history in your own accounts.
Do you do SEO for businesses in Las Cruces and Juárez?
Yes. Las Cruces clients get the same in-person meetings as El Paso, about 45 miles up I-10. Juárez clients work with us in Spanish by video call and WhatsApp. A Juárez business that wants El Paso customers needs English pages too, and we plan both sides from the start.
