Local, national and ecommerce SEO in the US

Your Google Business Profile, within Google's rules

Google's guidelines tie a Business Profile to a real address or a service area where you meet customers, and rule out virtual offices that aren't staffed. Your profile stays in your name; we're added as a manager and work on categories, services, photos and reviews. More on how local SEO works.

Online stores selling across the US

Store SEO is mostly template work: which of the store's URLs Google should index, how filters and variants behave, and what product data you send. See ecommerce SEO and the ecommerce SEO checklist.

SEO for WordPress, Shopify and other platforms

Each platform fixes some things for you and locks others away. The work starts from what yours lets you change.

  • WordPress SEO

    Since version 5.5, WordPress publishes its own sitemap at /wp-sitemap.xml, and most SEO plugins replace it with another. WordPress core

    Check which sitemap is live, set archives and permalinks once, and keep plugins from slowing every page.

  • WooCommerce SEO

    With any non-plain permalink setting, product URLs take a /product/ base, such as /product/hoodie-with-logo. WooCommerce docs

    Get the WordPress settings right first, then the product and shop base, then category and filter pages.

  • Shopify SEO

    Shopify's fixed /products, /collections and /collections/all paths can't be redirected. Shopify Help

    Work within the fixed paths: collection copy, handles, duplicate product URLs and redirects when products change.

  • BigCommerce SEO

    BigCommerce says it adds automatic 301 redirects as product names and pages change. BigCommerce

    Check the URL settings before a migration, and switch on SEO settings that exist but were never used.

  • Magento / Adobe Commerce SEO

    Layered navigation lets shoppers filter by category, price or any attribute, and every filter can create a URL. Adobe Experience League

    Decide which filter combinations deserve to be indexed, and keep the rest out of Google's crawl.

  • Wix SEO

    Wix updates the sitemap automatically, and changing a page's canonical can drop that page from it. Wix Help

    Use the settings Wix exposes carefully, and put the effort into pages and content.

  • Squarespace SEO

    Squarespace doesn't let you edit the sitemap or a page's source code. Squarespace Help

    The work happens in page structure, content and settings rather than code.

SEO services USA: common questions

Can an SEO agency outside the US do SEO for a US business?

Yes. Every ranking factor is online, and Google ranks pages on relevance and quality, not on where the agency sits. What matters is that the work is done well and you can reach the person doing it during your working day.

What time zones do you work in?

We're in Perth, Western Australia, 12 to 16 hours ahead of the US depending on the zone and season. Our morning is your afternoon or early evening, so calls happen then, and email replies arrive overnight, ready for your next working day.

Can you manage our Google Business Profile from Australia?

Yes. The profile stays in your name and we're added as a manager. Google's rules are about your business's address and service area, not where the person managing the profile is based.

Which platforms do you work on?

WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento and Adobe Commerce, Wix and Squarespace. Each has fixed limits, so the work is shaped around what the platform lets you change.

Do you use AI to write content, and does Google allow it?

We use AI tools for research and first drafts, never to publish unchecked. Google says AI can help with research and structure, and that AI-generated content must be fact-checked and reviewed before publishing. Every page we publish is edited and checked by a person.

How long does SEO take for a US business?

Technical fixes and Business Profile changes can show effects within weeks. Competitive rankings usually take months, depending on your market and your site's starting point. The audit gives an estimate for your site, not a promise.

How much do your SEO services cost?

Monthly plans are priced in US dollars and run month to month with no lock-in contract. The price depends on the number of locations or products and how competitive your market is. See SEO packages and pricing and ecommerce SEO pricing.

What's the difference between local and national SEO in the US?

Local SEO wins searches near a place, mostly through your Business Profile and location pages. National SEO wins searches with no place in them, through strong service or category pages and links. Many businesses need both.
