What SmartWorld Brings to the Work

You can’t maximize what you don’t (accurately) measure. Accurate tracking is the foundation of every service SmartWorld provides.  To provide you with intelligent decisions about your SEO our first step is to evaluate your marketing the same way a great accountant would review your financials. We measure the metrics that matter–increases in profit, revenue, and booked jobs from organic keyword searches. SEO is a zero-sum game which means that in order for your website to move higher up in the organic search results, you must leapfrog other websites. One of the most common questions contractors owners ask us is, “How much SEO do I need?” You can’t (intelligently) answer this question without first doing a thorough analysis of the businesses in your marketplace (you CAN get a rough estimate by scrolling further down this page). A typical SEO audit includes:
  • A business intake so that our account managers see your business from an owner’s perspective
  • Analytics and SEO software implementation (we use a set of tools no other SEO company has)
  • Keyword research and identification
  • Competitor analysis
  • Analysis and evaluation of your website code, structure, and content
  • Analysis and evaluation of your company’s presence online—linkscape, social media, and more
The output of our SEO audit process is an overview report and SEO strategy, which our team will present to you (allowing time for extensive Q&A).

The result is a digital presence that reflects your work clearly, supports better leads, and gives your team a stronger foundation for future growth.

SmartWorld helps teams turn Contractor SEO into a practical plan with clear priorities, useful content, responsive design, and marketing support that is easy to understand.

  • Revising your website’s title tags and meta descriptions
  • Making sure your website looks great on mobile devices
  • Renaming various web pages to be more descriptive
  • Giving your website files a more logical structure
  • Improving your website speed (load speed is a known ranking factor)
  • Enhancing your local SEO by creating more geographically relevant content
  • In some cases, recoding your website onto a better content management system (CMS)

Every recommendation is shaped around real customer behavior, so your website, campaigns, and follow-up process work together instead of feeling disconnected.

Our approach keeps the focus on clarity: what needs attention, what should happen next, and how each improvement supports stronger conversations with your audience.

Practical Strategy, Measurable Progress

SEO is the process of editing and creating website content and code that ranks well on search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo. First, your website must be coded so search engines can find and crawl it. Your website also needs to be fast, secure, and mobile friendly. Second, you need web page after web page of unique, remarkable, and optimized content. Third, you must gain citations, links, and references from other relevant and authoritative websites.
In all SEO packages, we include:
    1. A digital competitive analysis
    2. Website content and code optimization
    3. New website content and creatives
    4. Local citation optimization (local SEO)
    5. Measurement and analytics reporting
    6. Continual tracking and tweaking of your campaign
An SEO company handles the day-to-day tasks of monitoring your online presence so you can focus on other aspects of your business. If you don’t have the time or resources to comb through pages upon pages of analytical data, rankings, and traffic patterns and then have the means to optimize accordingly, you need an SEO company.
SmartWorld's SEO process starts with a website audit - an ongoing SEO campaign may or may not follow (ongoing SEO occurs approximately 85% of the time). Website audits are customized for individual businesses, so the prices vary, but the typical range is $2,500 - $3,500 (audits for larger "enterprise" websites can be considerably more). Ongoing SEO ranges from consulting to "do it for me" SEO services where SmartWorld's team acts like your own in-house SEO department (for a fraction of the cost of having your own SEO team). Ongoing SEO ranges from $2,000 per month on the low end to $10,000 (or more) per month on the high end. What should really matter is your return on marketing investment (ROMI). Sure, $5,000 per month may sound like a big investment for a local business, but if your ROMI turns into $50,000 per month, it’s worth the investment. A word of caution: you get what you pay for. If you sign up with a cheap SEO company that offers low monthly payments and includes a “free” website, you may be leasing a space on their proprietary platform, meaning you lose your website and all your work once you leave. Avoid outsourced or second-language SEO work.
If you’ve got a good SEO partner, you can generally see results between 3-6 months, but certain industries with highly competitive keywords can take up to a year to see traction. Don’t give up, though—once you get going, your results will snowball.
If you can't measure it, you can't manage it. You can't win the game if you don't know the score. Despite a million quotes which suggest that you can't maximize your business success unless you track your results, most business owners and marketers are still not accurately tracking their advertising, marketing, website, or SEO. Most online marketing companies treat tracking and reporting as an afterthought—the last step. At SmartWorld, it's the first step in every SEO engagement.
Yes.
