Before you hire a Merced SEO company

Run these before any Merced SEO company, including us, touches your listing.

Ask where the work happens

Ask any agency where its office is and who does the work. Then check that the address on its own Google listing matches what you were told.

Search from Merced, not from home

Google ranks map results by relevance, distance and prominence, so a search from Fresno shows you Fresno businesses. Check your rankings with a phone that is actually in Merced.

Count reviews against the top three

Search your main service with Merced and count the reviews on the three businesses in the map. If they have dozens and you have a handful, that gap matters more than anything on your website.

Merced SEO Built for a Growing Market

Merced SEO is $595 a month, or $249 a month for Lite, both month to month. The work is your Google Business Profile, the listings that point to it and pages that name Merced, Atwater and the towns you drive to. The Fresno SEO page lays out the first 90 days.

  • Google Business Profile setup and posts
  • Pages written for Merced and Atwater searches
  • Listings corrected to one name, address and phone
  • A monthly report with rankings and calls

Merced Web Design That Keeps Up With the Growth

A template build is $649, paid once, and a custom build starts at $1,995 and takes 3 to 5 weeks. The web design page covers which one fits, and you own the domain either way.

  • Hand-coded, or WordPress if you want to edit it
  • PageSpeed target of 95 or better on mobile
  • Your phone number one tap away on every page
  • Optional $99 a month care plan

Google Ads for Merced Businesses

Ad spend goes to Google, and most local service businesses start somewhere between $1,000 and $2,500 a month. If the site isn't turning visitors into calls yet, fix that first, because paid clicks land on the same page.

Limit the area

Set the campaign to Merced, Atwater, Los Banos and the zip codes you actually serve.

Count calls separately

Track calls from ads apart from calls from your Google listing, or you can't tell which one is paying.

Know where the money goes

Ad spend is billed by Google. Most local service businesses start somewhere between $1,000 and $2,500 a month.

Read the search terms

The search terms report shows what people typed before they clicked, and junk searches go in as negatives.

Send each ad to its page

Each ad should land on the page for the service it advertises.

Fix the page first

If the page doesn't turn visitors into calls, paid clicks just make that more expensive.

Serving Merced & the Central Valley

From the office it is about an hour to Merced, and we come to you for the first meeting. Modesto is about 40 minutes further north on 99, with Atwater on the way.

What stays yours

The domain, the hosting account and the code stay in your name, and we transfer them on request at no charge. SEO and ad management run month to month.

Merced SEO & Web Design Questions

The office is at 6362 N Figarden Dr, Suite 118, about an hour south on 99, and we meet Merced clients in person for the first meeting. Google ranks you on your profile, your reviews and your pages, and none of that depends on where your agency sits.
Local SEO is $595 a month and Lite is $249 a month, both month to month. Lite bundles hosting, maintenance and baseline optimization, and it fits a business that mostly needs to be found for its own name and one or two services.
A template build is $649, paid once, and a custom build starts at $1,995 and takes 3 to 5 weeks. Hosting and the domain run roughly $20 to $30 a month, and you can pay those directly.
It depends on two things. If it loads fast on a phone and each service has its own page, SEO can build on what you have. If it takes five seconds to load or the whole business sits on one page, fixing it usually costs close to a rebuild.
Ads can start showing the day the campaign is approved, so the first calls can come within days. Whether they keep coming depends on the landing page, which is why the site gets looked at before your ad budget gets spent.
The usual reasons are a category that is too broad, a service area that leaves Merced out, or a few reviews against competitors with dozens. Check those before paying anyone, including us.
