What We Do
- 01
Technical SEO Audit
Full crawl, Core Web Vitals, indexation, internal linking, schema, and mobile UX audit. We fix the foundation before chasing rankings - most Berkeley small-business and restaurant sites lose 20-40% of their organic ceiling to fixable technical issues.
- 02
Content & Keyword Strategy
Keyword research mapped to buyer intent for both of Berkeley's audiences - the student market near Telegraph and campus, and loyal residents searching Fourth Street and the Gourmet Ghetto. We build content briefs that target the real queries.
- 03
Local SEO for Berkeley
Google Business Profile optimization, NAP and citation consistency, neighborhood content (Fourth Street, the Gourmet Ghetto, Telegraph, Elmwood, Downtown), and review strategy - the work that wins the Berkeley map pack and "near me" searches.
- 04
AI Search (GEO) + Transparent Reporting
Schema and answer-first content so you're cited by ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews - plus monthly Search Console reporting and strategy calls measured by qualified organic traffic and pipeline.
Boutique SEO Berkeley
Why Berkeley businesses can't ignore search.
Berkeley runs on two clocks: a student population that turns over every year and locals who have shopped Fourth Street for decades. Search is the one channel that reaches a first-time buyer and a twenty-year regular with the same page.
