Local SEO and lead generation strategy

Local SEO that captures high-intent Dubuque searches

  • Keyword & competitor research focused on “near me” + service + Dubuque intent.
  • Google Business Profile optimization (services, categories, posts, photos, Q&A, review strategy).
  • Location & service page structure built to rank and convert (not thin “SEO pages”).
  • Citation cleanup and consistent NAP signals to strengthen local authority.
  • Schema markup + internal linking that helps search engines understand your offerings.

Technical SEO and WordPress management

A technical foundation built for speed, trust, and measurement

  • Core Web Vitals improvements (image optimization, caching, script cleanup).
  • Clean WordPress architecture with reusable templates and scalable content.
  • GA4 events (calls, forms, CTA clicks), funnel tracking, and conversion reporting.
  • Ongoing maintenance & management to keep pages healthy and ranking.
  • Security hardening, backups, monitoring, and uptime performance.

Outcomes you can measure (not just “we improved SEO”)

We track performance from first search → landing page → conversion. These examples show typical improvements after pairing local SEO with conversion-focused UX.

Your exact results depend on competition, site history, and service area — which is why we start with a baseline audit, then track improvements through GA4 + Search Console.

What we measure (quantitative)

  • Rankings + local visibility: priority keywords, local pack presence, GBP actions.
  • Lead performance: call clicks, form submits, quote requests, booking completions.
  • Engagement quality: bounce rate, scroll depth, key page paths, return visits.
  • Conversion friction: drop-offs by step, form errors, CTA effectiveness.
  • Speed & health: CWV metrics, mobile performance, index coverage issues.

What we validate (qualitative)

  • Why visitors hesitate: trust gaps, unclear pricing, missing proof, confusing service info.
  • Navigation clarity: can users find the right service and next step in under 10 seconds?
  • Content clarity: do users understand what you do, who it’s for, and what happens next?
  • Mobile usability: tap targets, readability, form completion, click-to-call behavior.

UX research & usability testing that improves SEO conversion

Ranking is only half the job. We run lightweight research and usability testing to remove friction and help more Dubuque visitors become leads.

Usability testing (structured + practical)

  • Method: moderated remote tests + quick unmoderated checks.
  • Participants: 5–8 target users per round (enough to uncover repeated issues fast).
  • Tasks: find a service, compare options, request a quote, book/call from mobile.
  • Outputs: prioritized issues, UX fixes, revised copy, updated IA/navigation.
