Feel Like Your Business is Stuck on Page 2 of Google?
You know your business deserves more customers. You work hard, provide great service, and take care of your clients. But if your competitors
keep showing up ahead of you on Google, they’re taking the calls and foot traffic that should be yours.
You’ve probably tried some SEO before… maybe:
🚫 Boosting random Facebook posts that got likes but no customers
🚫 Paying for ads that drained your budget without results
🚫 Messing with your Google Business Profile, hoping to rank higher
🚫 Even hiring an SEO company that made big promises but never delivered
At this point, you might be wondering: “Is SEO even worth it?”
The answer? YES—IF you do it right.
The Real Problem (And Why Most Local Businesses Struggle to Rank)
SEO isn’t about “hacking” Google or finding some magic trick. It’s about making Google see your business as the best, most trustworthy choice
for customers in St. Louis.
If your business isn’t ranking, Google doesn’t think you’re the best option yet.
Here's why:
✅ Your Google My Business listing isn’t optimized correctly
✅ Your website doesn’t have the right keywords or content
✅ Your business doesn’t have enough quality reviews
✅ You’re not getting backlinks from other trusted websites
Fix these four things, and you’ll start climbing the rankings.
Let’s break it down step by step.
Step 1: Get Your Google Business Profile, formerly Google My Business (GMB)
Listing Fully Optimized
Your Google My Business profile is the first thing people see when they search for your business.
If it’s not 100% optimized, you’re losing customers.
Here’s how to fix it:
✔ Make sure your name, address, and phone number (NAP) are 100% correct
✔ Use ALL categories available for your business
✔ Add high-quality photos of your business, team, and services
✔ Post regular updates (weekly Google Posts help rankings)
✔ Encourage more 5-star reviews—they help you rank higher AND get more clicks
⏳DIY Option: Go to your Google Business Profile now and check if it’s
fully filled out and up-to-date.
💡Need help? We can optimize your entire listing and get it ranking in the local
“3-Pack” within 90 days.
Step 2: Optimize Your Website for Local Search
SEO isn’t just about showing up—it’s about making people choose you.
How to fix it:
✔ Use location-based keywords (Ex: “Plumber in St. Louis” instead of just “Plumber”)
✔ Make sure every page has clear headings (H1, H2, H3) with St. Louis keywords
✔ Speed up your site —if it takes too long to load, people (and Google) will ignore it
✔ Add service area pages (Ex: “Roofing Services in St. Charles” for extra rankings)
✔ Make it easy for customers to contact you—BIG buttons, clear calls to action
⏳DIY Option: Try searching for your business + St. Louis on Google. Are you showing up? If not, your website needs work.
💡Need help? We build SEO-friendly websites designed toget you ranking AND converting.
Step 3: Get More 5-Star Reviews (And Make Sure People See Them)
Let’s be honest—you check reviews before buying something. Your customers do the same.
Google favors businesses with more reviews AND higher ratings—meaning they rank higher
and get more clicks.
How to fix it:
✔ Ask for reviews after every service (text or email makes it easy)
✔ Respond to EVERY review (good or bad)—it builds trust
✔ Use a review management tool to automate the process
✔ Showcase your best reviews on your website
⏳DIY Option: Send a text to three past customers right now asking for a Google review.
💡Need help? We automate the review process, so you never have to chase reviews again.
Step 4: Get Local Backlinks (Google Loves This)
Think of backlinks like word-of-mouth referrals for Google. When other
reputable websites link to you, Google sees your business as more credible
and ranks you higher.
How to fix it:
✔ Get listed in St. Louis business directories (like the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce)
✔ Partner with local businesses for cross-promotion links
✔ Sponsor a local event or charity (they’ll link to your site)
✔ Write guest posts for local blogs or news sites
⏳DIY Option: Find 3 local directories and submit your business information today.

boost your rankings fast.
