Challenge

Now in year 4 of our journey, we have gathered many learnings and recognised the impact SEO has had on our early success. Organic is our biggest traffic driver and highest converting channel. In addition to our always-on SEO work with Earned Media, we wanted to engage Nick and his team on a project to identify areas for improvement that would hopefully result in a notable organic growth spike. Within this time, we also agreed to 'double down' on offsite link-building to improve our DR by EOY.

Solution

This 6-month project was broken into key milestones, delivered by Earned Media. This included in-depth keyword research, a full site architecture review, delivery of insights and actionable recommendations, and reviews after actions were taken to assess their impact. Additionally ongoing high quality link building was built to pages across the site to increase DR.

Result

Since implementing these SEO improvements, we have clearly seen a spike in organic traffic as well as DR improvements (we exceeded our goal of achieving a DR of 33-35 by EOY, hitting 40 in December). We are also now seeing Gathar index for 105,000 additional searches per month (over 500 new queries) since these SEO recommendations were actioned.

What is SEO in San Francisco?

SEO involves optimizing websites to improve their visibility on search engines like Google and Bing for local and global audiences. SEO can put your business front and center in the high-intent SERPs (search engine result pages) that your ideal audiences frequent daily. In a competitive market like San Francisco, you need a tailored SEO strategy to outrank your competitors and capture purchase-ready traffic.

Effective SEO combines technical website optimizations, engaging content, and link-building strategies to help build your website’s authority and rank on search engines. Studies show that 75% of users never scroll past the first page of search results, so ranking on the top of page one is crucial.

What Do San Francisco SEO Companies Do?

San Francisco SEO agencies offer core SEO services to rank your San Francisco-based business on search engines and increase organic traffic from the area. These services include:

  • Audits:

    Comprehensive SEO audits uncover weaknesses such as broken links, slow page speeds, or poor mobile responsiveness. This data-driven approach ensures your website meets modern standards and delivers an optimal user experience.
  • Keyword research:

    Agencies use tools such as Semrush to identify the high-impact keywords your audience actively searches for. Targeting the right keywords can improve rankings, click-through rates, and conversions. 93% of online experiences begin with a search engine, highlighting the importance of precise keyword strategies.
  • Competitor analysis:

    Understanding competitors’ strategies helps identify gaps in your approach. By analyzing competitors’ rankings, backlinks, and content, your agency can craft a plan to outrank them.
  • On-page optimization:

    This involves refining elements like meta titles, descriptions, heading tags, and images to ensure they align with what it takes to rank a page for its target keywords.
  • Off-page optimization:

    Building high-quality backlinks from reputable sources enhances your site’s authority. This increases trustworthiness in the eyes of search engines and drives organic traffic.
  • Content marketing:

    Creating valuable content, such as blog posts and resources exposes you to long-tail keywords and builds topical authority.
  • Technical SEO:

    Optimizing your website’s backend—by improving page speed, ensuring mobile-friendliness, and fixing crawl errors—ensures search engines can index your site effectively.
  • Local SEO:

    For businesses serving specific areas, local SEO focuses on optimizing Google Business Profiles, gathering reviews, and targeting location-specific keywords to improve visibility in local searches.
  • Mobile SEO:

    Mobile traffic dominates online browsing. Optimizing your website for mobile users sends strong ranking signals to search engines and gives visitors a premier experience.
  • Reporting and analysis:

    Regular reporting provides insights into key metrics such as organic traffic, rankings, and conversions—helping businesses make informed decisions.

Why Should I Hire a San Francisco SEO Agency?

Hiring an SEO agency provides local expertise, saves time, and delivers measurable results. Agencies bring a deep understanding of competitive markets, allowing them to:

  • Optimize for local keywords and audience behaviors
  • Implement cutting-edge strategies based on data and industry trends
  • Free your team to focus on core business operations.

Collaborating with a results-driven agency ensures your digital marketing investment drives significant ROI, from increased traffic and revenue.

How Do I Choose an SEO Consultant in San Francisco for My Business?

  • Look for credibility:

    Check for Google Reviews and testimonials. Agencies with positive reviews demonstrate consistent success.
  • Assess their portfolio:

    Evaluate case studies to see past achievements. Do they have experience with businesses like yours?
  • Analyze their services:

    Ensure they offer the services you need—from local SEO to content marketing—and verify their expertise by checking for certifications, industry recognition, or case studies.
  • Evaluate communication:

    An agency should provide transparent communication and regular updates. Ask about their reporting frequency and the metrics they’ll track.
  • Prioritize alignment:

    Choose an agency that aligns with your goals and values. Visit their website, study their approach, and assess their cultural fit with your business.

What Red Flags Should I Watch Out For When Hiring an SEO Company in San Francisco?

  • Not offering SEO audits:

    Without an upfront audit, your agency will waste time and budget implementing strategies that may not have the biggest impact.
  • Guaranteeing results:

    Avoid companies that promise immediate results or guaranteed rankings.
  • Lack of transparency:

    Agencies unwilling to share tactics or deliverables might use black-hat strategies or not do the work required to deliver results.
  • Black-hat tactics:

    Keyword stuffing, cloaking, or buying links can lead to search engine penalties and long-term damage.
  • Outdated or low-quality content:

    Success depends on high-quality, relevant content.
  • Lack of case studies or testimonials:

    Detailed examples of past work showcasing clear deliverables, timelines, and results add authority to an agency’s reputation.
  • Overemphasis on link building:

    Shortsighted link-building schemes waste budget and send negative signals to search engines.
  • No clear reporting or analytics:

    Consistent, clear reports show improvements in target keyword rankings, pages indexed, organic traffic, and organic revenue.

What Are the Key Success Metrics of San Francisco SEO?

Effective SEO campaigns are measured by metrics such as:

  • Organic traffic:

    Increase in sessions from organic traffic sources (Google, Bing, etc.)
  • Keyword rankings:

    Improvement in target keyword positions
  • CTR (Click-Through Rate):

    Percentage of users clicking on your link from SERPs
  • Bounce rate:

    Percentage of visitors leaving without engaging
  • Conversions:

    Actions taken by users, such as form submissions or purchases
  • Pages per session:

    Indicates user engagement
  • Average session duration:

    Shows how engaging the content is
  • Time on page:

    Measures relevance and interest in specific content
  • Exit rate:

    Identifies where users leave the site
  • Referring domains:

    Number and quality of websites linking back to your site
