What We Do

SEO BUILT FOR HOME SERVICE BUSINESSES

When a homeowner’s AC breaks down or a pipe bursts, they go straight to Google. If your business isn’t showing up on page one, you’re invisible — and your competitors are getting those calls instead. TrueSMB’s SEO strategies are built specifically for home service companies competing in local markets.

Once you request a quote, if we determine there’s a good potential fit, we’ll first conduct a thorough SEO Assessment and then develop a custom SEO Proposal tailored to your business. Monthly SEO services then consist of two phases: SEO On-Page Optimization and Ongoing SEO Management.

◆ Phase 1 of 2

Months 1–2

SEO ON-PAGE OPTIMIZATION

The On-Page Optimization phase is where we lay the foundation for your website to rank high in Google. This phase is focused on identifying your best keyword opportunities and making sure your website is properly structured to rank for your target keywords.
01

Kick-Off

We start by gathering all the information we need to implement your SEO campaigns — including background on your business, products and services, your target market, and access to your website and online profiles. A thorough kick-off ensures every subsequent step is built on a solid understanding of your business and goals.

02

SEO Analytics Setup

We set up proper analytics and tracking systems so we can accurately measure your SEO rankings, traffic, and conversions from day one. This includes verifying that Google Analytics is correctly installed with Goal Tracking enabled, configuring Google Search Console, and setting up our rank tracking software to monitor your keyword positions over time.

03

Keyword & Competitor Research

We conduct thorough keyword research to identify the highest-value, highest-intent keywords to optimize your website for. We also research your top-ranking competitors in detail — analyzing why they rank where they do and identifying the exact steps needed to outrank them in your market.

04

Document SEO Edits & On-Page Report

Next, we document all recommended modifications to your website. For locally-focused businesses, we also document edits to your Google Business Profile and other local listings. We compile everything into a comprehensive On-Page Optimization Report — including your current baseline for traffic and rankings — so you can see exactly what we’re going to do and why.

05

SEO On-Page Optimization Review Call

Two to three weeks after project kick-off, we schedule a call to walk through our initial assessment and all recommended edits. We review the findings together, answer your questions, and get your approval before proceeding. Nothing gets implemented without your sign-off.

06

Implementation

Upon gaining approval, we begin implementing all SEO on-page recommendations — including direct edits to your website’s title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, content, internal links, schema markup, and more. If your web developer will be making some of the technical edits, we’ll support them directly to ensure everything is implemented correctly.

◆ Phase 2 of 2

Month 3 & Beyond

ONGOING SEO MANAGEMENT

After the on-page foundation is in place, we shift focus to building your link authority, developing content, and continuously growing your rankings over time. Here are the types of work we complete as part of ongoing monthly SEO management.
Link & Citation

Link & Citation Foundation

One of the main things preventing websites from ranking higher is the lack of a strong link foundation. For locally-focused businesses, we prioritize building citations — mentions of your business Name, Address, and Phone Number — by submitting to relevant directories and local business listings.
Copywriting

Blogging & Content Development

Adding high-quality content is Google’s recommended long-term SEO strategy. Quality content gives you more opportunities to rank for additional keywords and earn quality backlinks. Depending on your business, we develop content via a Blog, FAQ section, Resource Center, or all three.
Search Engine_icon

Competitor Research & Outreach

We research your top-ranking competitors’ links and citations and conduct strategic outreach to build similar — and better — links. This helps you systematically close the gap with competitors and continue climbing the rankings over time.
Press Releases

Press Releases

For locally-focused clients, press releases are a highly effective way to build citations and improve local search rankings. We write and distribute press releases on your behalf to drive both brand visibility and SEO value.
Blogging

Guest Blogging

We research and outreach to relevant blogs to secure guest posting opportunities — contributing quality articles in exchange for a link back to your website. We draft all guest articles for your review and approval before submission.
SEO & Rankings_icon

Conversion Improvements

Beyond growing traffic, we also help improve your conversion rate — the percentage of visitors who contact you or request a quote. We strengthen calls-to-action, test page layouts, and identify opportunities to turn more of your existing traffic into actual leads.
Exclusive

Ongoing SEO Audits

After the initial optimization, we continue to audit your website every 3–6 months to identify and fix any technical issues that could prevent your site from ranking. Algorithms change — we stay on top of them so you don’t have to.
Contracts

Monthly SEO Tracking, Reporting & Analysis

Every month you receive a clear, easy-to-understand report highlighting your website traffic, conversions, and keyword rankings. Reports also include a summary of work completed and your customized plan for the month ahead.

Common Questions

SEO FAQ

How long does SEO take to produce results?
SEO is a long-term investment. Most clients begin seeing meaningful improvements in rankings and traffic within 3–6 months. Significant, market-dominating results typically develop over 6–12 months. The exact timeline depends on your current baseline, market competitiveness, and how aggressively we’re building content and links.
What's included in your monthly SEO service?
Our service covers the full SEO lifecycle: keyword research, on-page optimization, Google Business Profile management, citation and link building, content development, competitor outreach, press releases, ongoing audits, and detailed monthly reporting. Everything is custom-built for your specific business and local market.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No ethical SEO company can guarantee specific rankings — search algorithms change constantly. What we guarantee is a proven, white-hat strategy executed with full transparency and consistent effort. Our track record of improving rankings for home service businesses demonstrates what consistent, expert SEO achieves over time.
What's the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?
Local SEO focuses specifically on geographically-targeted searches — ‘near me’ queries, city + service keywords, and Google Map Pack results. It also includes Google Business Profile optimization, local citation building, and review management. For home service businesses, local SEO is far more valuable because your customers are always looking for someone nearby.
How do you measure SEO success?
We track keyword rankings, organic traffic volume, local Map Pack visibility, Google Business Profile engagement, and most importantly — the number of leads (calls and form submissions) generated from organic search. Monthly reports connect all of these data points so you always have a clear picture of your return on investment.
What is a Google Business Profile and why does it matter?
Your Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is the listing that appears when someone searches for your business on Google or Google Maps. It’s one of the most powerful local SEO assets — it influences your Map Pack rankings, shows your reviews, hours, and photos, and allows customers to call you or get directions directly from search results.
How many keywords do you target?
We don’t artificially limit keyword targeting. We research and identify all high-value, high-intent keywords relevant to your services and location — this typically includes dozens of target keywords across multiple service pages and local area variations. Our goal is comprehensive local visibility, not just ranking for one or two terms.
Can you help a business in a very competitive market?
Absolutely. We specialize in competitive local markets and use advanced strategies — competitor link gap analysis, targeted content development, and aggressive citation building — to systematically close the gap and climb the rankings over time. Competitive markets take longer but the rewards are greater.
Why do I need SEO?
The most expensive part of running any business is finding new clients and customers. SEO is a long-term investment in continuously growing your client base. Pay-per-click and per-impression marketing are one-time, instant gratification methods. SEO has no “per click” fees — and once your results are achieved, it’s proven to deliver a better ROI for years. Think of it this way: if you had to drive to work every day, would you rent a car every morning or buy one? It makes more sense — financially and practically — to own your space in the search engines than to keep renting ad space one click at a time.
Is all SEO the same?
No — there is “good” SEO and “bad” SEO. Good SEO is what TrueSMB offers: ethical methods that improve your site ranking by building quality links and improving your content and technical foundation. Bad SEO is what many competitors offer — blasting your website with links from low-quality sites or using automated link-building software that can actually lower your rankings and even get your website banned from search results entirely.
How much does SEO cost?
That’s like asking how much a car costs. A basic car is relatively inexpensive, and so is ranking for a long-tail keyword like “how to fix my refrigerator.” A luxury car is more expensive, and so is ranking for a highly competitive keyword like “Appliance Repair.” Every campaign is priced based on your specific market, competition level, and goals. Contact us for a custom quote and free SEO assessment.
Does TrueSMB offer cookie-cutter SEO packages?
No. Every client and every website presents unique challenges. Each program TrueSMB puts forward is fully customized to meet those challenges. Only after gaining a complete understanding of your needs, goals, and competitive landscape do we begin building a custom suite of services. This individualized approach is what has allowed us to build many satisfied, long-term client relationships.

This individualized approach is what has allowed us to build many satisfied, long-term client relationships.
What exactly do you do when you optimize my website?
When TrueSMB optimizes a website for search engines, we strive to make it look and read no differently to regular visitors — except that it performs dramatically better in search results. Our consultants seamlessly work relevant keywords and phrases into page titles, headlines, copy, links, and meta-tags. Your website will still be yours. It will just be significantly more visible on search engines and attract far more customers.
Isn't it better to just pay for ads on a per-click or per-view basis?
Yes and no — it really depends on your situation and goals. For most companies over a period of 12 months or more, it ends up being more effective, efficient, and cost-friendly to invest in SEO than to rely solely on pay-per-click advertising. Ads stop the moment you stop paying. Strong SEO rankings continue delivering leads long after the initial investment is made. The best strategy is often a combination of both — ads for immediate leads, SEO for long-term growth.
Does SEO increase my website and company value?
Yes — absolutely. In the event that you sell your business, websites that are SEO-optimized and ranking for keywords have real monetary value. There are entire companies that buy and sell domains specifically because they rank for valuable keywords and have strong incoming link profiles. A well-ranked website is a tangible business asset that increases the overall value of your company.
How do we get started?

Upon agreeing to what TrueSMB proposes to implement — as well as the fees — TrueSMB sends a straightforward proposal. Upon receipt of the proposal and set-up down payment, TrueSMB begins work immediately.
