SEO in Charleston
Trade the "Best Kept Secret" Status for Sustained Growth
Simply put, "SEO" is optimizing your website's content on both the front end (what website visitors see) and behind-the-scenes (what they don't) for how your potential customers search for the goods and services you offer. The next step is to then make sure your Google Business Profile matches and supports what your website says so that Google will feel confident recommending your business to the people using their platform to perform an average of 16.4 million searchs every day.
When you hire The Harper Edit to perform SEO services for your Charleston area business, we'll begin by performing a thorough analysis of the way your potential customers and clients are searching for businesses like yours. From there, we'll create a strategy of how to optimize your website and other key platforms, like Google Business Profile and others, to get you the fastest results possible.
It's important to note that search engine optimization is a long game. When we find what we believe will be "quick wins" for you, we'll implement them on your website ASAP to get the momentum started. But for more competitive search phases and keywords, it can take several months to get the kind of rankings both you as the business owner, and us as the SEOs, want to see.
That being said, the consistent traffic- and in turn, leads- that your business can get from being on the first page and "Local Pack" of SERPS (search engine results pages) are absolutely worth the patience and effort.
Let The Harper Edit handle the strategy, creation, and implementation of your local SEO efforts so that you can focus on doing what you love- running your business from the front of house, not stressing about the behind-the-scenes technicalities.

SEarch engine optimization FAQ's
Do you offer a #1 spot search result guarantee?
No reputable SEO company should guarantee first-page placements for all keywords because many factors outside of our control- such as the amount of local competitors, the state of your current website, and algorithm changes- can all impact rankings. What we WILL promise is that we’ll use the latest SEO best practices to improve your visibility, optimize your web presence, and attract local traffic that’s looking for businesses like yours to you!
How long will it take to see results from local SEO?
Every business is different, but we can often discover many high-opportunity keywords for clients that we call “low hanging fruit”. Once we create new content or optimize what you already have for them it can give your business some quick wins, but most local SEO efforts begin to show meaningful improvements and rankings that last take within 3-6 months of consistent work.
Will my website help me get more clients?
A well-built website helps the right people find you, trust you, and reach out — especially in a competitive local market like the Charleston area. While your service is what keeps clients coming back, the right website helps new ones feel comfortable reaching out.
