What SEO Did for Four of Our Clients

SEO is how your business turns up when someone searches for what you sell. These four hired us to do that.

We took Byrd Lipedema Surgery Center from 149 organic clicks per month to 5,849 quarterly clicks in 15 months. Tim Lease Custom Tattoos went from 102 clicks to 2,569 in 12 months. Evolve Counseling moved from position 52.8 to 10.1. These are not projections. They are Google Search Console numbers from businesses we work with right now.

REK Marketing has run SEO campaigns since 2003. Every engagement starts with a custom-coded website built in house (not WordPress, not a template), then a strategy built around your market, your competitors, and the words your customers actually type. We report leads and revenue alongside rankings.

Strategy, for Evolve Counseling. Their average search position was 52.8 and they had no organic presence at all. The audit turned up the gap: the informational searches people run before they book a therapist had zero coverage on the site. That became the content plan. Their single biggest traffic driver ended up being writing about covert narcissistic abuse, which nobody else in their market was covering.

Technical work, for Tim Lease Custom Tattoos. We rebuilt the site from the ground up: clean code, fast load times, proper schema, mobile first. His average search position moved from 22.9 to 3.9, and organic clicks went from 102 to 2,569 a month inside a year.

Content, for Golden Tarot Ink Club. The studio had 2,716 Google reviews at a flat 5.0 and was still invisible for anything that was not its own name. We went after the piercing terms its competitors were ignoring, conch and industrial and helix and tragus. Quarterly clicks went from 810 to 6,108 in 12 months.

Reporting, for everyone. Each month you get the pages that moved, the keywords behind them, and the calls and forms that came in. Map pack grid tracking is part of it, and there is more on that in the next section.

Local SEO

Ranking on the Map Is Its Own Job

The map pack and the blue links are scored differently. A business can hold position three for a search and still be nowhere on the map sitting right above it, and for a local service business the map is usually where the phone calls come from.

So the Google Business Profile gets worked every month, the same way the website does.

  • Profile optimization. Description, hours, attributes and service area filled out properly and kept current. Hours matter more than they look: being open at the moment somebody searches is one of the strongest signals in the local pack.
  • Categories. Primary and secondary picked against the searches you want to turn up for, then left alone unless the business changes.
  • Services. What the profile lists matched to what the site actually sells, in the same words.
  • NAP consistency. One name, one address, one phone number across Google, Bing Places, Apple Business, Yelp, Facebook and the directories your trade is listed in.
  • Photos and posts. New photos on a schedule and posts that keep the profile from going quiet.
  • Review replies. Every review answered, the bad ones included, within the week.

Two keywords, one Orlando client. We sample the ranking from points across the service area, so a slip shows up as a map rather than one number. The pin is their Business Profile.

Our Approach

Why Choose REK Marketing

SEO only works when strategy and execution are aligned. That's where most agencies fall apart, and where REK Marketing stands out. We don't treat SEO as a checklist or a one-size-fits-all service.

Strategy Icon
Strategy-First Execution

Every campaign starts with research, goals, and competitive analysis. We build a custom strategy for your market, not a template we use for everyone.

Market Icon
Built for Local Businesses

We specialize in local service businesses. HVAC, plumbing, legal, medical, contractors. Nine of them are written up on our Orlando case studies page.

Ethics Icon
No Shortcuts, No Tricks

We build sustainable rankings through quality content and legitimate authority. Our methods work when algorithms change, including Google's AI Overviews, because we're not gaming the system. We're building the kind of trust signals that both traditional search and AI-powered search rely on.

Common Questions

SEO Questions Answered

Most businesses start seeing meaningful improvement within 3-6 months. Some changes like technical fixes can show results faster. Competitive markets may take longer. SEO is a long-term investment, not a quick fix. We'll give you realistic expectations based on your specific market during your free audit.

Our SEO packages start at $795 per month and include a free custom website. The right investment depends on your market, competition, and growth goals. We'll recommend a package that makes sense for your business during your consultation, and you're never locked into a long-term contract.

Nobody can guarantee a Google position, including us. The algorithm shifts hundreds of times a year and weighs hundreds of signals that nobody outside Google controls. What we will guarantee is that we do the work the algorithm actually rewards: technical fixes, content with named authors and original data, and reporting that shows what changed and why. We work month-to-month because our retention has never depended on a contract, and our 180+ five-star reviews back that up.

Paid ads (Google Ads, LSA) give you instant visibility but cost money for every click or lead. SEO takes longer to build but delivers free, ongoing traffic once you rank. Most successful businesses use both: paid ads for immediate leads while SEO builds long-term organic visibility.

Yes. Every SEO package includes a custom-coded website at no additional cost. We don't use WordPress or templates. Your site is custom-coded in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, optimized for speed and search engines, and designed to convert visitors into leads. Other agencies charge $3,000-$10,000 for comparable websites. Your site becomes yours to keep after 12 months of continuous service; see our Terms of Service for details.

AI-powered search tools like Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity are changing how customers find businesses. These platforms pull from the same trust signals that drive traditional SEO: quality content, strong reviews, structured data, and domain authority. Our SEO strategies are built to perform across both traditional and AI-powered search, so your business stays visible no matter how customers search. Learn more about AI search and your business.

Traffic and conversion are different problems, so work out which one you have before spending on either. If people are landing on the site and not calling, the site is the issue: vague service descriptions, a phone number that is not tappable on a phone, a form buried at the bottom, or pages slow enough that people leave first. If almost nobody is landing at all, that is a ranking problem. Your analytics will tell you which within about ten minutes. Our free audit covers both, and we will tell you which one is costing you.

Start by picking the searches you actually want, and be specific about them. Ranking for "plumber" is a completely different job from ranking for "emergency plumber in Winter Park". Then give each of those searches a page built to answer it properly, make sure that page loads quickly, and give other sites a reason to reference you. Most small businesses stall because one page is trying to rank for everything at once. We start clients by finding the searches they are already close on, since those move first.

Check whether you are indexed at all. Search site:yourdomain.com in Google. If nothing comes back, Google has not indexed the site, which usually means a robots.txt rule, a noindex tag left in place after launch, or a site too new to have been crawled. If pages do come back, you are indexed but ranking too low to find, which is a different problem with a different fix. Google Search Console is free and tells you which of the two you are dealing with. We are happy to check it for you.

Look at calls and form submissions before rankings. Positions move daily and change depending on who is searching and where they are, so a screenshot of position three proves very little. The numbers that matter are impressions and clicks in Search Console, calls and direction requests on your Google Business Profile, and inquiries through the site. If those climb over a few months, it is working. Every REK client gets a monthly report built around exactly those numbers, not vanity rankings.

Not necessarily, and publishing weekly because someone said you should is how most small business blogs end up with fifty posts nobody reads. What helps is content answering the questions your customers ask before they buy. A handful of those beats a year of filler. If your service pages are thin, fix them before writing a single post. We would rather build you six pages that rank than sixty that do not.

Start with data you already own. Google Search Console lists the searches you appear for right now, and it costs nothing. After that, your call logs and the questions people ask on the phone are the best source there is, because they are the words real buyers use. Free tools like Keyword Planner fill the gaps. The trap is chasing high-volume terms that never convert. Keyword research is part of every audit we run, and we base it on your own Search Console data rather than guesswork.
