Doing Atlanta SEO Consulting these past two decades has been amazing as the city and search industry both thrive. Atlanta, GA remains home turf and a very special place to work and live… yes, even during rush hour traffic. Most clients live right here in the Atlanta area or OTP (suburbs like Marietta, Roswell, Alpharetta, etc.) or in Georgia. The home field advantage has worked.
The demand for professional Atlanta SEO services is high because Metro Atlanta is the largest economy of all metro areas in the Southeast. Atlanta is growing fast and a leader in tech industries like mobile technologies, Internet security and digital media. The city is also competitive with a low cost of living and high quality of life where you can travel to 80% of the U.S. population in two hours from Hartsfield-Jackson. A few more SEO conferences would be nice, but you get the point.
Do you like supporting the people who live and work in your local community. The ability to meet in person and shake someone’s hand still goes a long way, even in post-pandemic times. Sharing a sense of place and values like cheering the same sports team and having your kids in the same school matters.
Let’s assume you prefer doing business in Georgia and in the Atlanta area.
Have you noticed these patterns when you search for your Atlanta SEO service in search engines?
How familiar are you with Southern-style barbecue?
That’s what the owner of a top Atlanta BBQ restaurant we spoke with wondered as he listened to the SEO consultant on the phone.
He’d been searching for the perfect SEO for years.
“Are you located in Atlanta, er, the USA?”
“I’m in the UAE.”
SEO starts with understanding the client’s business and audience. With all the pride, culture and nuances surrounding barbecue in the southern United States, how much do you think location would impact the results of this engagement?
Clutch, the marketing database that features over 150k agencies, lists 451 search engine optimization providers within the Atlanta, Georgia area. Among these, are marketing agencies, web design firms, freelancers, and professional consultants. To narrow the list down, ask yourself what types of SEO services your business truly needs (local, technical SEO, content development, outreach, etc.).
Know that SEO is a long-term, strategic endeavor. The type of Atlanta SEO service you choose impacts your company’s success for years. Research and sketch out your list of SEO companies that specialize in the service you most need. Challenge them to prove their results. Be skeptical of the ones that happen to do SEO on the side.
A consultancy can do things differently than agencies. Compare the two. Leverable offers Atlanta advantages.
