SEO Consulting Services for Lexington KY, Louisville KY, Cincinnati and Across the USA

The SEO industry is broken.   So many practitioners are pitching ideas that no longer matter and will never work again.

We think this is unacceptable.

Our clients will get honest, up-to-date easy-to-understand and actionable next steps that make a difference in their business – not vague, theoretical ideas.

You deserve:

  • The straight story about how SEO works and how long it will take.
  • Plain English explanations about exactly what to do next, in priority order.
  • Focused advice you can act on now, and methods you can use going forward.
  • Methods which have staying power, even when Google changes radically.
  • Ways to measure progress on the hard work.

SEO's ROI continues long term if done well.

Year over Year SEO Results - Niche Ecommerce Example

Traffic from organic Google and Bing searches represents the lion’s share of activity to a website.  Your competition would like to have it all.  Don’t let them.

Successful SEO is about capturing demand for your products and minimizing the opportunity costs of missing it.  Unfortunately, there are hundreds of agencies and individuals out there spreading myths, fear, uncertainty, and doubt about what SEO is – often making promises they cannot keep and spreading untruths.

With BuzzMaven, everything is fully transparent and evidence-based, attached to best practices from Google, Bing and the Search Industry.

SEO Traffic Building

The click through rate curve has smoothed somewhat over time, but still shows the dramatic value of a high-on-page rank.   Of course, ranking measurement is no longer as simple as it used to be.  For our clients, we’ll establish a consistent way to measure improvements, and explain the differences to expect between the report and what they see on their computer.
