SEO Services

Technical SEO, content strategy, and link building from a team that also builds websites. We do not just find problems -- we fix them in the codebase.

Why most SEO agencies waste your money

Here is the problem with 90% of SEO agencies: they give you a report and wish you luck. They find technical issues, hand over a PDF, and expect your developer to fix it. But your developer does not understand SEO. So the issues sit there. For months.

We built Social Animal differently. We are a web development agency that does SEO, not an SEO agency that outsources development. When we find a broken canonical tag, we fix it in the codebase. When we recommend a content structure change, we build it. When Core Web Vitals fail, we rewrite the frontend. Same team, same invoice, same week.

This is not a minor distinction. It is the reason our clients see results in 60 days instead of 6 months.

Our SEO services

Technical SEO audit and remediation

Every engagement starts with a full technical audit. Not a surface-level crawl -- a deep inspection of how search engines see your site.

We check crawlability (robots.txt, XML sitemaps, crawl budget), indexability (canonical tags, noindex directives, redirect chains), rendering (JavaScript SEO, hydration issues, client-side routing), Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP -- the metrics that actually affect rankings), structured data (Schema.org validation, rich result eligibility), and security (HTTPS, mixed content, HSTS headers).

The difference: we do not just identify issues. We fix them. Our technical SEO audit includes remediation -- every issue found gets resolved in the same sprint.

Keyword research and content strategy

Keyword research is not about finding high-volume terms. It is about finding the terms your buyers actually search when they are ready to buy.

We use a combination of Google Search Console data (what you already rank for), Ahrefs and SEMrush (what your competitors rank for that you do not), People Also Ask mining (questions your content should answer), and search intent analysis (informational vs commercial vs transactional).

The output is a content roadmap: which pages to create, which to optimize, which to consolidate, and which to cut. Every recommendation comes with target keywords, search volume, keyword difficulty, and estimated impact.

On-page optimization

On-page SEO is where most agencies stop at title tags and meta descriptions. We go deeper:

  • Title tags and meta descriptions -- written for click-through rate, not just keyword stuffing
  • Header hierarchy -- H1 through H4 structured for both users and crawlers
  • Internal linking -- strategic links between related pages to distribute authority
  • Content gaps -- sections competitors cover that your page misses
  • NLP optimization -- entity coverage, topic depth, and semantic relevance scoring
  • Image optimization -- alt text, lazy loading, WebP/AVIF format, proper dimensions
  • Schema markup -- FAQ, HowTo, Product, Service, Organization, BreadcrumbList, and more

We measure on-page quality using NLP scoring tools that analyze how well your content covers a topic compared to the top 10 ranking pages. If competitors mention 40 entities and you mention 12, Google knows your content is thin.

Content production

We write and publish SEO-optimized content at scale. Our content pipeline uses AI-assisted research (Tavily, Perplexity) combined with human-quality writing (Claude Opus) and AI detection scoring (Winston AI) to produce articles that:

  • Rank for target keywords within 60-90 days
  • Score 40-80% on human writing detection tools
  • Include proper heading structure, internal links, and schema markup
  • Cover the topic more comprehensively than competing pages
  • Read like they were written by a subject matter expert, not a content mill

We publish 4-12 articles per month depending on your plan. Each article targets specific keywords from your content roadmap and goes through research, writing, editing, optimization, and Winston scoring before publication.

Link building and digital PR

Backlinks remain one of the strongest ranking signals. We build links through:

  • Guest posting on relevant industry publications
  • Digital PR -- data-driven stories pitched to journalists
  • Resource link building -- creating linkable assets (tools, guides, data)
  • Broken link reclamation -- finding broken links on authority sites and offering your content as a replacement
  • Directory submissions -- industry-specific directories that carry real authority (not spam directories)
  • HARO/Connectively -- responding to journalist queries for expert quotes with backlinks

We do not buy links. We do not use PBNs. We do not do reciprocal link schemes. Every link we build is from a real website with real traffic and real editorial standards.

Local SEO

For businesses with physical locations, local SEO is where the highest-intent traffic lives. Near me searches have grown 500% in the last five years.

Our local SEO service includes:

  • Google Business Profile optimization (categories, attributes, photos, Q&A, posts)
  • NAP consistency across 50+ directories (Name, Address, Phone number)
  • Local citation building on industry-specific directories
  • Review generation and management strategy
  • Local schema markup (LocalBusiness, Organization with geo coordinates)
  • City-specific landing pages for multi-location businesses

One client went from zero local pack appearances to ranking in the top 3 for 12 city-level keywords within 4 months.

International SEO

If you serve customers globally, your SEO strategy must account for multiple languages, regions, and search engines.

We handle:

  • Hreflang implementation and validation
  • Content translation with locale-specific keyword research (not just translation -- different markets search differently)
  • Country-specific domain strategy (ccTLDs vs subdirectories vs subdomains)
  • Multi-currency and multi-language schema markup
  • Regional search engine optimization (Baidu, Naver, Yandex)

We currently manage international SEO in 8 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.

The SEO process: from audit to revenue

Most agencies make SEO sound complicated to justify their fees. The process is straightforward -- the execution is where it gets hard.

Our 6-step SEO process: Technical Audit, Keyword Research, On-Page Optimization, Content Strategy, Link Building, Reporting

Step 1: Technical foundation (weeks 1-2)

Before we write a single word of content, we make sure search engines can actually find and understand your site. This means fixing crawl errors, resolving redirect chains, implementing proper canonical tags, setting up XML sitemaps, and ensuring your site renders correctly for Googlebot. If your site is built on a JavaScript framework, this step is critical -- many React and Next.js sites have rendering issues that block indexing entirely.

Step 2: Keyword mapping (weeks 2-3)

We map every page on your site to a primary keyword and 3-5 secondary keywords. Pages without keyword targets get either assigned one or consolidated. Pages competing for the same keyword get merged. The result is a clean site architecture where every page has a distinct purpose in your search strategy.

Step 3: On-page optimization (weeks 3-4)

This is where we rewrite title tags, restructure headers, add internal links, implement schema markup, and optimize images. We use NLP analysis to compare your content against the top 10 ranking pages and identify entity gaps -- topics and terms that competitors cover but you do not.

Step 4: Content production (ongoing)

Based on the keyword roadmap, we produce 4-12 articles per month. Each article follows a research-write-optimize-score pipeline. We analyze what the top 10 results cover, write content that goes deeper, optimize for target keywords and related entities, and score against AI detection tools to ensure quality.

Step 5: Authority building (ongoing)

Content without backlinks is a library with no roads leading to it. We build authority through guest posts on relevant publications, digital PR campaigns with data-driven stories, resource pages and linkable assets, and industry directory submissions.

Step 6: Measurement and iteration (monthly)

Every month you receive a detailed report showing exactly what changed, why it changed, and what we are doing next. No vanity metrics. No hiding behind impressions. Traffic, rankings, conversions, and revenue.

Real results, not promises

Before and after SEO results comparison showing Lighthouse, ranking, and traffic improvements

We have a track record across dozens of industries. Here is what consistent SEO execution looks like:

E-commerce client (fashion): Organic traffic increased 340% in 8 months. Revenue from organic search went from twelve thousand dollars per month to forty-seven thousand. We rebuilt their product pages with proper schema markup, optimized category page structure, and published weekly buying guides.

Healthcare practice: Went from zero local pack appearances to ranking in the top 3 for 18 procedure-specific keywords in 5 months. Patient inquiries from organic search increased 280%. We optimized their Google Business Profile, built city-specific landing pages, and created a medical content hub.

B2B SaaS company: Organic signups increased 190% in 6 months. We restructured their blog from random topics to a pillar-cluster content model, built comparison pages targeting competitor keywords, and implemented FAQ schema across 40+ pages.

How we measure success

We do not hide behind vanity metrics. Every month, you get a report showing:

Metric What it tells you
Organic traffic How many visitors find you through search
Keyword rankings Where you rank for target terms
Click-through rate How compelling your search listings are
Conversion rate How many visitors become leads or customers
Core Web Vitals Whether your site meets Google performance standards
Backlink growth How your authority is building over time
Revenue attribution How much revenue SEO directly generates

The last one matters most. SEO is an investment. If it does not generate more revenue than it costs, something is wrong.

Our tech stack

We do not use off-the-shelf SEO tools and call it a day. Our stack is built for speed and accuracy:

  • Google Search Console -- the only source of truth for how Google sees your site
  • Core Web Vitals monitoring -- real user metrics, not lab data
  • Schema.org markup -- validated structured data for rich results
  • Astro and Next.js -- modern frameworks that score 95+ on Lighthouse by default
  • Supabase -- real-time content management with full-text search
  • Claude AI -- content generation with human-quality writing
  • Tavily and Perplexity -- competitive research and topic analysis
  • Winston AI -- human writing detection scoring for content quality

What makes us different

We build and optimize. Most SEO agencies find problems. We fix them. Because we are also a web development agency, we can implement every recommendation we make -- in the same codebase, on the same invoice.

We are performance obsessed. Every site we build scores 90+ on Lighthouse. Core Web Vitals are not an afterthought -- they are the foundation. This gives our clients a ranking advantage from day one.

We use AI intelligently. We use AI for research, drafting, and analysis -- but every piece of content goes through human quality checks and AI detection scoring. The result is content that ranks and reads naturally.

We are transparent. No long-term contracts. No hidden fees. No proprietary tools you cannot access. You own everything we build. If we are not delivering results, you can leave.

SEO for different business types

E-commerce SEO

Product pages need unique descriptions, not manufacturer copy-paste. Category pages need editorial content, not just product grids. Faceted navigation needs proper canonicalization to prevent index bloat. Product schema with pricing, availability, and reviews drives rich snippets that increase click-through rates by 30-40%.

SaaS and B2B SEO

The buying cycle is longer, so content must cover every stage: awareness (blog posts), consideration (comparison pages, case studies), and decision (pricing pages, demos). Bottom-of-funnel keywords like alternative to [competitor] and [product] vs [competitor] convert at 3-5x the rate of informational content.

Local service businesses

Google Business Profile is your most important asset. Reviews, photos, Q&A, and weekly posts all influence local pack rankings. Every service area needs a dedicated landing page with unique content, not just a city name swapped into a template. Schema markup with geo coordinates helps Google match your business to location-based queries.

Healthcare and medical SEO

Medical content requires E-E-A-T signals: author bios with credentials, citations to peer-reviewed research, editorial review processes, and clear disclaimers. Google holds health content to a higher standard. MedicalProcedure and Physician schema help your practice appear in specialized search features.

Manufacturing and industrial SEO

Your buyers are procurement managers and engineers. They search for technical specifications, material grades, and certification requirements. Product catalog SEO with structured data, capability pages targeting service-plus-city keywords, and case studies that showcase project scale and tonnage build credibility with B2B buyers who do 70% of their research online before contacting a supplier.

No. All our SEO plans are month-to-month. We believe in earning your business every month through results, not locking you into contracts. That said, SEO is a long-term strategy -- clients who commit for 6+ months see the best ROI.

What makes your SEO different from other agencies?

We are a web development agency that does SEO. When we find a technical issue, we fix it in the codebase ourselves. Most agencies hand you a report and hope your developer understands it. We handle both -- same team, same invoice.

We publish 4-12 articles per month depending on your plan.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No reputable SEO agency guarantees specific rankings. Google controls their algorithm, and any agency promising #1 rankings is either lying or using tactics that will get you penalized. We guarantee transparent reporting, proven methodology, and measurable improvement.
