How to find the Top SEO Companies in the Reno Nevada?

(How to get my website to the top of Google with SEO?)

If you do a quick search in Google for “Reno SEO Expert”, you will see a handful of PPC ads at the top of the search results. 98% of those companies are not located in the Reno Nevada area.

If you scroll down to the Google Maps area, you will likely find local SEO companies.

And…if you scroll down below the Google Maps section, you will see 2 or 3 actual Reno SEO companies.

With that being said, most of the SEO companies that rank on the first page of Google for “SEO Experts” or related terms, beneath the maps area, are in fact, NOT located in Reno.

In our list below, we break down the top digital marketing experts and their true locations for you.

This data was pulled from SEM Rush and other keyword research tools available online.

1. Reno SEO, Marketing & Web Design – Sandy Rowley, leading SEO expert located in Reno Nevada holds her spot as the top SEO in Nevada, five years and running. Her SEO company is located in downtown Reno Nevada. Renowebdesigner.com

2. SEO – A top contender in the space, hovers over some top SEO positions throughout the month. acuteseo.com

3. Reno SEO – An off shoot company of a local digital marketing expert, (not to be named) is looking to outrank these top positions. Possible black hat practices being deployed.

3. – The companies listed on this directory are paying to be listed as a top SEO. So technically, that does not count as being a good SEO, but we listed this paid directory site simply because they are ranking on the first page of Google for the term. This shows that the Clutch companies SEO team is actually pretty decent at SEO and not neccessarly that the companies listed in this directory are good at SEO. https://clutch.co/seo-firms/reno
clutch.co

4. – This company is based out of another state, but did a good job at ranking for this competitive term. Not Local company.

5. Up City – Yet, another paid directory, looking to use thier SEO savvy to help rank their paying customers within their directory. Again, the SEO companies listed on this paid site, are not neccessarily a good choice for SEO as they either paid to be listed, or simply added their website to the free section of this site.
upcity.com

6. Reno SEO-
renotahoeseo.com These guys have been battling for the top spot for quite a while now. Not sure if they are actually still living in the Reno Nv area, but they have some skills. This is not 100% guarantee that any of the companies listed on this page are a good fit for your needs, simply a list of companies that are working for the top spot in Reno.

7. – This company is possibly located in another country, per our research. They are at the bottom of page one for SEO related terms. These spots are highly volatile and usually fall off page 1 within a few weeks.

8. – Another company, not actually located in the Reno area, but is working to position their website as a local business.

9. Bright Local SEO –
Another paid directory for SEO’s. SEO is about ranking a website for relevant keywords that are searched in Google and other search engines. Paying to list your site as the top SEO company in Reno, does not count as SEO. That is simply buying ad space. Bright Local is a top SEO services company located outside of the Reno area. Again, thier SEO team is great at SEO. The companies that paid to be listed on thier directory, maybe not so much.

10. – Props to this guy. He is at the bottom of page 1 in Google, but his last post on his Facebook page was back over 3 years ago. These types of SEO tactics work temporarily then drop off again to the page 2 or 3 of Google. Not sure if this SEO expert is still located in our area.

How to find a trustworthy SEO company in Reno?

A simple strategy you can use to find a good SEO expert in your area is to do the following:

1. Do a simple keyword search in Google for “Reno SEO”
2. Look at the SERPS or search results that are the top 5 positions in Google.
3. Look at the top 3 results in the local Reno map section.
4. Sort by best reviews.
5. Scroll to see what companies have the best reviews and rank high in Google for the SEO term.

After you have found a list of local Reno SEO companies with good reviews, do the following:

1. Fill out their websites contact form requesting more information. How long does it take for the SEO company to respond?
2. Call the SEO expert and see if they answer the phone or does it go straight to voicemail. (Some of the SEO companies in this list are moonlighting as an SEO and have day jobs.)
3. If the SEO person answers the phone, are they friendly? Are they helpful? How knowledgable are they on the subject?

SEO Tip

Never hire an SEO company or expert based on whether they are “affordable” or not. You get what you pay for. If your company is looking to rank for keywords that will generate your business thousands of dollars a month, why would anyone not just do your business on thier own and make more than the measley $500 a month it would take to rank for those keywords?

How much does SEO cost?

A solid SEO campaign for local Reno keywords is $800 – $8500 per month is the average. This is a reasonable investment for the return a business will have with a reputable SEO service.

SEO is a digital marketing service that takes consistancy and time. It is not a one and done service. Don’t let any companies convince you otherwise.

SEO

Who is the best SEO company?

There are thousands, if not millions, of companies providing Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services to their clients across the USA and globally. With so many players in the business, it may be challenging to ask: Who is the best SEO company, and then point to a single entity or company in answering that question. Before addressing that question categorically, it might be prudent to frame it in its proper context.

What does the best SEO company look like?

When considering an SEO partner to assist your business, the best thing to do is to focus on the value proposition they offer to your business. So, instead of asking: Who is the best SEO company, the more appropriate question might be: What can an SEO company do for me? Ideally, here’s what the best SEO company looks like:

Plenty of Experience: While newcomers to the world of SEO may deliver some great services, it’s only experience – preferably more than five to ten-years of it! – that can add true SEO value to your business
Diversity of Skill Sets: SEO isn’t an individual competition. It’s a team sport. And that means it takes a combination of skill sets – web designing, content creation, website audits, user experience assessments, digital marketing…and much more! – to bring SEO-enabled value to a business. Companies that don’t excel in all those areas, and more, will likely not do much for their client’s SEO profiles
Professionalism: Many SEO “experts” believe they know what ails a businesses’ SEO profile. And the first order of business they execute is a “fix”. True SEO professionals don’t assume anything. They take the time to first understand, from a client’s perspective, what the challenges are, and then propose options to those problems. At the heart of professionalism is the willingness to accept that, while the SEO expert is good at what she/he does, it’s the client that knows her/his business best!
Proven Track record: Words, web profiles, sales pitches – they are all nice and good. But what has your prospective SEO partner accomplished for her/his clients? When you branch out on a quest to find out who is the best SEO company, it’s prudent to also understand what they have done – in terms of results accomplished – for their clients.

Finally, when searching for the best, it’s vital to remember the context in which SEO works. Because SEO also has a local and regional level, one can address that question more appropriately when phrased in a local context.

SEO in a Different Perspective

Most small to medium enterprises think global and act local. The idea behind that philosophy is to use the power of SEO to become a local center of focus and then, using that reputation, to spark global attention. So, in some ways, SEO starts as a homegrown phenomenon.

So, if you ask: Who is the best SEO company in Nevada, the answer would be to identify Nevada’s top SEO expert, Sandy Rowley! The Reno-based Webby Award-winning team has been delivering exceptional SEO services to its clients in Nevada, and even further, since 1999. And the 5-star reviews garnered by sandy and her team serve as a testimony to the success that Sandy’s team has delivered to clients – not just in Reno and the broader area, but also across Nevada and nationwide.

What is SEO?

Feb 4, 2021 | how do you do seo

What is SEO? Audio tutorial short on YouTube.

What is SEO and how does it work?

SEO is an acronym for Search Engine Optimization, which is a process that uses certain tools and approaches to optimize the design, structure, content and popularity of a website. The objective of SEO is to attract higher amounts of high-quality traffic to the website.

The most successful websites are those that rank high when people search for products or services in the websites’ niche. SEO works by enhancing the popularity and visibility of a website, both to human visitors and search engine algorithms, so that the website features higher up than its competitors, in searches, on Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS).

In a highly competitive niche, a web search can sometimes deliver thousands of results, spread over scores of SERP. SEO works by prioritizing well optimized web pages, and displaying them earlier on – within the top-3 or top-10 results of page 1. Less optimized pages have less visibility, because they might appear on page 5 or 15, where typical consumers might never venture.

In the above SERP for the query “snow blowers for sale in New York”, SEO works by ranking the best optimized website at the top of the list of results, followed by sites with comparatively less optimized sites. Sites with poor or no SEO follow at the rear.

How do you do SEO?

Because search engine’s like Google constantly evolve their SEO algorithm methodologies, SEO is a relative activity. It depends on what you are optimizing the site for. For example, if a search engine’s algorithm looks for English content with perfect grammar and no spelling mistakes, to rank such sites high up in their SERPs, then one task in “doing SEO” must include fixing the grammar, spelling, punctuations and tenses of all content hosted on the website.

SEO is not about one single thing. In fact, “doing SEO” involves several factors, including:

The quality of content on each page of the site. Higher quality means better SEO ranking
On-Page SEO: This includes actions such as using appropriate and highly popular, keywords within page content; inviting other popular websites to link to your site, and making use of keywords in your title tags, meta descriptions and H1
Effective Keywords: The use of highly relevant keywords
Mobile-Friendliness: Use of responsive page design so the page loads on small-footprint and mobile devices
Useful Backlinks: Linking to credible and high-authority websites
BOT-friendly: Using site design techniques that make it easy for search algorithms to crawl through, index and rank the site
Speed: Building pages that load faster, and having content that refreshes with minimal delay
User Engagement: Having websites that are easy to navigate and user-friendly

Other SEO tactics include promoting the site via guest posts and through social media posts. The use of URLs too, make an impact on SEO. For instance, using URLs with specific (and popular) keywords, having related descriptive URLs, and using secure URL protocols (“https” instead of “http”) also help when doing SEO properly.

What do you mean by SEO?

The acronym “SEO” stands for Search Engine Optimization, and it refers to a process of optimizing a website to attract un-paid (or organic) traffic from web queries. When people want something off the web – for instance some information about an event, or a product or service they wish to purchase – they’ll typically search for it on the web. This process starts by keying-in a search term or a search word. For example, this might be:

“COVID-19”; or
“COVID-19 travel restrictions in New York”

what-do-you-mean-by-seo

This is a web search query. The web browsers’ search engine (such as Google, Yahoo or Microsoft Edge) takes that query, and uses an algorithm to look for web pages that are a best fit to answer that query, and displays the most appropriate ones in the browsers’ search engine result pages (SERPs). So, the question is: If there are 500-million web pages that can answer the query, are all listed on SERPs?

The answer is: Maybe! However, the algorithm will only look for the most appropriate web sites to display in its SERPs. SEO is a set of strategies and tactics that website owners and online marketers use to ensure their site is one of those displayed higher-up on the SERP.

In the sample screenshot above, there may be several hundred million webpages that address the question “COCID-19 travel restrictions in New York”. However, Google only brings back 348-million results from pages optimized for Google’s search engine. If your browser is configured to display 50-results at a time, you may (hypothetically) have nearly 7-million pages of results to sift through. However, SEO ensures that the most optimized results appear in the top 5 or 10 on page 1.

What is an SEO example?

Browsers display web query results in two segments: Paid and unpaid (or organic). Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a technique that helps website owners and online marketers display their websites higher up on organic website searches than their competitors. Because most consumers only act on web search results from the first few pages of a query, having the best optimized websites appear ahead of lesser-optimized websites makes it more likely for better optimized sites to get more organic (or unpaid) traffic.

A good example of the use of SEO is illustrated in the screen shot below.

what-is-an-seo-example

The searcher queries Google for “snow blowers for sale in New York”. Google determined that there are 9.28 million webpages that meet the criteria for the query. Of these, the top three results are paid advertisers. These rank high regardless of whether they meet specific SEO criteria – money talks! For most other websites – 9.279 million of them in the above example – SEO matters.

Why? Because only the most well-optimized websites feature high in the search engine results page (SERPs) for the above sample query. In the example above, the website listed as #4 will likely receive more traffic than those appearing below it. Additionally, because of how consumers interact with the SERP listings – they only typically view the first 4 or 5 pages before clicking on a link to buy – a webpage listed high-up on page 1 (as opposed to featured on page 2 or 200!) will receive more organic traffic than those featured as number 20 on page 1 or (ranked 1 on page 2). And that’s just yet another example of SEO done well!

What are SEO tools?

Like any project – for instance a home improvement task – having a good set of tools makes all the difference to how well website owners do SEO. The tools not only help with implementing a good SEO strategy, but, once in place, some tools help monitor the effectiveness and efficiency of the strategy.

Here are three great SEO tools to consider:

Google PageSpeed Insights: This is Google’s tool that analyzes the speed of a webpage and then offers recommendations on page speed and how to better improve it.

what-are-seo-tools

Google Analytics: This is another one of Google’s tools that helps website owners make useful decisions regarding their SEO strategy. It uses machine learning capabilities to extract data about your webpage, your site, visitors to your site and your competitors. The data is then presented in helpful analytical reports and graphs to aid in prioritizing SEO responses.
Bing Webmaster Tools: This is a Microsoft tool that allows website owners to perform SEO analysis on their websites. The tool helps you optimize your web pages so you rank better on the Microsoft Bing search engine.

what-are-best-seo-tools

Ahrefs Backlink Checker: Backlinks are one element, albeit a very important one, of SEO that all search engines consider when ranking a webpage on their SERPs. This tool analyzes a website and provides invaluable feedback on backlinks, and offers statistics on the Referencing pages’ Domain Rating (DR), URL Rating (UR), the number of links to your site from that page and the monthly organic traffic of that referring page. This data is invaluable to building your own SEO strategy.

how-many-types-of-seo-are-there

How many types of SEO are there?

There are various ways that website owners and webmasters may opt to do SEO. Some of the more popular types of SEO include:

On-Page SEO: This type of SEO deals with features that optimize the page, it’s structure and its content to make it SEO-friendly
Off-Page SEO: This type of SEO focuses on promoting the page/website on external sources (other websites, social media, directory listings)
Technical SEO: This type of SEO focuses on optimizing the technical parameters of a website that impact a search engine’s ability to optimize and rank the page/site
Content SEO: As a sub-set of an on-Page optimization strategy, this SEO tactic concentrates on optimizing site and page using high-quality content
Local SEO: Local SEO is best used to promote a business within a local community or physical distance
Mobile SEO: This SEO focuses on optimizing websites for mobile devices
eCommerce SEO: Online marketers take advantage of eCommerce SEO to popularize their websites on search engines

Not all types of SEO are, however, applicable to every website. For instance, if your website only provides information to your visitors, and does not market or sell any product or service, then there’s no value in doing eCommerce SEO.

5 Web Design Tips to Boost Your SEO

Jan 5, 2021 | web design reno

Have you ever visited a website you really loved? It was quick, had the right color scheme, a nice layout, and made the overall experience an enjoyable one. We’ve all visited at least one good website throughout our time online. However, have you ever visited a really bad website? Most likely, you might’ve encountered a slow loading site with an outdated interface filled with blocks of text.

What’s the main factor of these two types of sites? Two words— web design.

Despite its name, web design is much more than what a site looks like. Web design does refer to the design of websites but it focuses more on user experience. The goal of good web design is to make the user experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible.

Combined with SEO, web design can become the ultimate tool to help you and your business increase traffic and boost your conversion rates. Although incorporating web design and SEO isn’t an instant job, when done right, it can impact your business greatly.

In this article, we’re going to break down five web design tips you can use to boost your website’s SEO.

Make it mobile-friendly

If you’re familiar with SEO, you might recognize that having a mobile-friendly website is a must. It’s super important these days since most web traffic comes from mobile devices alone. If you haven’t made your site mobile-friendly yet, you’re a few years behind and you should take the time to do so.

Google made mobile-friendliness a ranking factor back in 2015. So, to have a website that’s not mobile-friendly in this day and age is pretty much a crime against SEO. Not to mention, a lack of mobile-friendly elements in your site can increase your bounce rates.

Make sure people can read text easily

No one wants to spend time on a site that’s hard to read. Poor web design can impact how your content is presented. May it be the small text, bad layout, or just strange placement, it can affect your SEO.

When creating content and publishing it on your site, think of the visitors. What will make it easier for them to view your site? This is a chance for you to utilize white space, different fonts, and larger text sizes to accommodate your visitors. A simple change in design can boost your SEO drastically.

Speed is key

A laggy website is never fun. We’ve experienced it before and when we visit a laggy site, we always close it faster than it loads. Take some time to check how your site loads. If it’s slow, chances are that it could be due to bad web design.

Speed up your site by optimizing images, getting rid of unnecessary plugins, and allowing browser caching. Ideally, your site should load in two seconds. Any longer than that, then it’s an issue. The speed of your site doesn’t just matter to visitors. It also matters to Google. The longer it takes to load, the less pages Google will crawl and less chances you have for ranking on the search results.

Simple website architecture

Simple website architecture is another thing you should have. In general, website architecture may sound scary and complicated but it’s not as complex as you think. It simply means how the pages on your site are linked together.

Think of it as a family tree. In conclusion, you want to keep your site architecture simple so Google can crawl your site with ease. So, you want to focus on making Google’s job for crawling your site easier.

Use subheaders

Reading blocks and blocks of text is not a good start when it comes to SEO. The truth is, it’s a dread to read long paragraphs since we can’t see the end and the beginning of the sentences. How can you make reading your site easier?

We think subheaders do a great job at separating blocks of text and emphasizing important points. Although Google is super smart, reading a lot of content mushed together can affect its ability to crawl your site. So, make sure you’re using subheaders correctly and effectively.

Wrap Up

Web design and SEO go hand in hand when it comes to boosting your site’s conversion rates and improving your business. From what we discussed in the article, the main points to having excellent web design for SEO begins with knowledge about what factors affect SEO such as mobile friendliness, site speed, and readability.

Once you’ve got the basics covered, you can create a web design for your site that’ll be sure to drive traffic and help Google crawl your pages easily. All in all, you need to be aware of how Google works in terms of crawling and ranking sites.

Now that you have a rough idea of what to do, it’s time to assess your site and see what it needs.

What Does a Typical Website Design Cost

Are you planning on launching a new website? Whether it is a personal blog, business portfolio, or e-commerce website, you have to know all your options to make a smart decision. One of the most important factors to consider when building a website is: “How much will it cost?”

To help you out, we’ve compiled a list of several ways to get your hands on website design and how much it will typically cost you.

Drag and Drop Website Builders

Drag and drop website builders are developed to streamline the website design process. These tools are designed as online platforms which you can use to create and launch a website without even knowing how to code or how to design a website. The most popular drag and drop website builders include Wix, Weebly, and Squarespace.

Design Cost

Designing a website via a drag and drop website builder won’t break the bank. In fact, if you don’t want to use any of the premium features, you can get your website up and running completely free.

Pros and Cons

The pros of using drag and drop website builders include:

No design skills required
Very cheap
No coding skills required

Get a website up and running in no time

The cons of using drag and drop website builders include:

Generic templates make it hard to achieve a unique look
Bad user experience due to slow loading times

Questionable customer support
Pricey premium features

WordPress Website Design

WordPress is the most popular content management system. Launching a WordPress website is also considered simple, but unlike drag and drop website builders, it requires some technical knowledge.

Design cost

WordPress comes with a completely free theme that users can use to build a website. Apart from the default WordPress theme, users have access to a number of free and paid ones. The design cost depends on your choice. If you go with a free theme, the overall costs will be minimal, but even purchasing premium themes won’t set you back much, as they usually come with an average price tag of $70.

Pros and Cons

The pros of using WordPress include:

WordPress and the majority of themes are free
Complete control over website files and data

Access to free plugins and extensions to enhance the user experience
Easy to customize

The cons of using WordPress include:

Maintenance requires technical knowledge and experience

You need at least some basic coding knowledge
Expensive managed WordPress hosting services for those who want to automate updates

Custom Website Design

Designing a website from scratch is also a viable option.

Design Cost

The design costs depend on the overall functionality and number of elements of a new website. According to the current prices on the market, it’s safe to assume that hiring a web designer will cost you approximately $6,000.

Pros and Cons

The pros of using custom website design services include:

Get the exact design you want to
Achieve a unique design and unique brand experience

The cons of using custom website design services include:

High up-front cost
It’s difficult to find a trustworthy web designer
You’ll need long-term cooperation for updates and maintenance

Hopefully, this information will help you make a better decision and get the website that gives you the biggest bang for your buck.

Lets Meetup and Hang Outside

Nov 28, 2020 | Communication

Meet up with others in the area and have a darn good conversation on pre selected topics!

We have put together a small and friendly group of Reno peeps who are looking to get together and talk about anything interesting and share stories, ideas and inspiration. The goal of this group is to have fun, stimulate ideas and share with others in our community.

I decided to convert our Reno Business Leaders into an open group of free thinkers and intelligent creatives to get together, safely, and enjoy each others company.

If you happen to make a business connection, good for you, but this is not the goal of the group. If you come to “Sell” hard, you will not be invited to the next outing.

What to expect?

Meet up with 3 to 20 other people at a local park, outside, preferably in the daylight Sun. (lots of germ killing UV rays) and Fresh air, space and masks if you so chose.
Bring your own hot beverage and food of your choice.
We will choose a card from the conversation starter deck and pair off into intimate groups to discuss the chosen topic.
We will have about 20 minutes per table or group to discuss the topic, then switch to get a chance to talk with new friends.

The goal of this group is to communicate with others, building a sense of community and friendship. Also to bring wonder, inspiration and thought provoking ideas into your life.

Benefits of this free group

build communication skills

connect with new people

share experiences

learn new things

get inspired

have fun

Add your Name, email and phone number to this list. I will email everyone with date/time/location and possible talking points.
