Baltimore SEO FAQs

Is local SEO worth it in Baltimore?

Absolutely. Google remains the #1 source of traffic on the internet, and 88% of users who perform a local search visit a listed business within 24 hours. When people want to find local businesses, they use Google. If they don’t find your business, they’ll find your competitors. Want search traffic? You need local SEO.

How much does local SEO cost in Baltimore?

The price for local SEO varies depending on a number of factors, but it mostly boils down to how comprehensive you want your SEO services to be. A full revamp of a website will cost more than a single blog post each month. When we complete your free SEO audit, we will give you a list of the services we recommend and the total monthly cost of your tailored SEO strategy.

Can SEO be done for free?

Not properly. SEO relies on a number of analytical tools to track competitors, keywords, site health, and more—and these tools are expensive. In addition to these tools, there’s a lot of work that goes into SEO: Technical work, content creation, link outreach, high-level strategizing, and more.

While SEO cannot be done for free, it’s best to think about it in terms of ROI—if you’re paying $2500 a month for SEO, but you’re getting $5000 a month in leads, it’s well worth the cost.

Is AI going to destroy SEO?

We certainly don’t think so! In our experience, AI has enhanced SEO—not hurt it. Our use of AI tools gives us a competitive advantage; we use these tools to analyze our clients’ competitors to improve content marketing, to find gaps in our own content, and even to generate leads through SearchGPT and other AI platforms. Organic traffic remains the biggest source of traffic on the internet, and evolving SEO trends are looking to leverage AI—not be destroyed by it.

As AI search results become more important, we have adapted our SEO strategies; we can even track visibility in AI tools like ChatGPT for you. As long as people need to find businesses online, SEO isn’t going anywhere.
