Small business SEO helps owner-run companies show up on Google when local customers search for what they sell. TLG Marketing picks the handful of searches most likely to bring paying customers, gets your Google Business Profile and key service pages ready to rank, and reports in plain English on the calls and form leads your website produces.

SEO without a marketing department

Most small business owners wear every hat. You don’t have time to learn schema markup or write a weekly blog post, and you can’t afford months of work that never connects to revenue. The good news is that a few things do most of the work for a small business: an accurate Google Business Profile, a clear page for each service, a steady flow of reviews, and a website that works well on a phone.

This fits owner-run shops, contractors, clinics, restaurants, professional practices and other businesses that serve a city or region.

Where we put the effort

  • Google Business Profile. Categories, services, photos, hours and posts set up properly, plus a routine for earning and answering reviews. Learn more about our Google Business Profile services.
  • Service pages. One focused page for each job you want more of, written the way your customers describe the problem.
  • Technical cleanup. Slow pages, broken links, mobile layout problems and indexing errors fixed by our developers.
  • Local citations. Your business name, address and phone number made consistent on the directories that matter in your industry, as part of our local SEO work.
  • A short, honest report. Which searches you rank for, how many calls and form leads came from them, and what we’ll do next.

Built around your budget

Tell us what you can spend each month and we’ll show you what it can realistically achieve in your market, starting with the work most likely to produce calls. If there’s a quick fix, like a broken contact form or a phone number that isn’t tappable on mobile, we do that first. If a short run of Google Ads would bring in work sooner while SEO builds, we’ll tell you.

TLG has served more than 200 clients since 2006, and the people who plan your SEO also build websites, so problems get fixed by the same team that finds them.

// How it works

From audit to leads in four steps

  1. Audit & research

    We audit your site’s technical health, content and links, and research the searches your buyers actually make.

  2. Roadmap

    You get a prioritized plan: what to fix, which pages to create, and which searches to win first.

  3. Build & optimize

    Our developers fix technical issues, we improve and create pages, and we earn links from relevant, reputable sites.

  4. Report & refine

    Regular reports on rankings, traffic and leads, and changes based on what the numbers show.

// Questions

Small business SEO: common questions

Is SEO worth it for a very small business?

Often it is, when the plan stays focused. A one-location business usually competes for a short list of local searches, so a few strong pages and an active Google Business Profile can make a real difference. If ads or referrals would serve you better right now, we’ll say so.

Do I need to publish blog posts?

Not necessarily. For many small businesses, strong service pages and a well-kept Google Business Profile matter more than a blog. We add articles only when they answer questions your customers are searching for.

How long does SEO take to work?

Most sites see movement within three to six months; competitive searches take longer. Your roadmap sets expectations search by search, so you know what to expect and when.

How much do SEO services cost?

It depends on how competitive your market is and how much work your site needs. Tell us your monthly budget on the form and we’ll show you what it can realistically achieve.

Will you work on my existing website?

Yes. We work on WordPress, ecommerce platforms and custom-built sites. If the site itself is holding you back, our developers can fix it or rebuild it.

What do you need from me to get started?

Access to your website, Google Search Console and Google Analytics, and a 30-minute call about your customers, services and goals.
