What you will find on this local SEO blog

We write this local SEO blog for owners in Culver City and the blocks around it. Each post starts from a question we hear on first calls, and then answers it with what the search data shows. For example, one post explains why local links count, while another follows a weekday of searches.

Topics also follow the local calendar. Before the car show in May or Fiesta La Ballona in late August, for instance, event-day hours and parking notes matter most. December, by contrast, brings searches such as “culver city christmas market”.

Written for owners, not marketers

Most readers run one café, one studio or one practice, so plain words beat jargon. When a term like “map pack” or “citation” appears, the post explains it the first time. Equally, when a tactic only pays off for big chains, we say so rather than dress it up.

A few readers also take customers from Playa Vista, Marina del Rey or Santa Monica. Our posts still hold for them, but we suggest a separate page for each of those areas, built around work actually done there.

Where to start reading

Begin with the post on earning links from Culver City groups and events, because those links are easy to overlook. For the basics behind every post, Google’s SEO Starter Guide is free and refreshingly short. Then read the piece on how search helps businesses here grow, which follows one ordinary weekday of searches in Culver City. After that, see how our local SEO service runs month to month, while the FAQ answers cost and timing.
