Rankings aren't the product. Revenue is.

A number one spot that brings in the wrong visitors is a vanity metric. We build for the searches that end in a phone call, a form, or a sale — and we report on those, not on rank screenshots.

The story of SEO Locale.

We’re not stopping, we’re growing with the best SEO team around. Our expansion into a 8,500 sqft building is our space, your success.

Learn more

2015

SEO Locale was born. Well, at least the business name was registered and the domain name was purchased. Although Marc was working a full-time job, Marc always knew in the back of his head that one day, he would be needing that registration license and domain.

2017

Starting out in a small apartment in Old City, Philadelphia, Marc begins to work on building SEO Locale full-time.

Marc’s father, a small business owner himself of a family-owned pharmacy, was a victim of a big agency taking advantage of a small business. Paying thousands of dollars for a website he unknowingly didn’t own, and services he didn’t understand with absolutely no results, Marc saw a major gap in the digital marketing space.

SEO Locale was built to put a stop to digital agencies taking advantage of business owners who may not fully understand the depth of digital marketing. There needs to be a high quality digital marketing solution for business owners that is also affordable. The mission of SEO Locale became clear – provide the best digital marketing solutions for businesses that is both cost-effective and provides the highest ROI.

With only one client in July of 2017, the first month SEO Locale was fully operational, Marc was able to quickly grow the business from 1 client to 14 clients in just 30 days.

2018

SEO Locale moves into their first office space, located in Jenkintown, PA. Marc immediately turned to his long-time friend and mentor, Nick Quirk, to join SEO Locale as a partner. Over the next 6 months, SEO Locale would more than triple its client base.

2019–2022

SEO Locale has grown to a team of 14, including content writers working remotely. SEO Locale continues to provide top notch SEO services for businesses all over the world, including assisting local businesses maximize their internet marketing in the New Jersey and Philadelphia regions.

2023

SEO Locale works with over 200 local businesses throughout the greater Philadelphia area and beyond. SEO Locale continues to grow, winning multiple awards such as the Expertise Awards, participating in radio shows like Business Innovators Radio, and donating to charities throughout the area.

2024+

SEO Locale received several awards in Philadelphia for being top digital marketing agency. The team expanded to 20 digital marketing experts including content writers. SEO Locale has been recognized as one of the top 50 fastest-growing companies in the Philadelphia region. This recognition, part of the newly branded “Philly’s Fast 50” highlights companies that have shown remarkable revenue growth over the past two years. It’s an honor to be among such esteemed company, and we couldn’t have done it without the support of our amazing clients and partners.

See How You're Being Found

Your customers search in six places.
Most businesses show up in two.

Step through every channel your customers actually use — what going missing looks like, and what we do about it.

Google organic results

Page two might as well be invisible — the first page takes almost every click. If competitors outrank you, they get the customers you earned.

We rebuild your rankings with technical fixes, content, and links — and report every position move monthly.

The Google map pack

For local searches, the top three map results get the call. Outside the pack, your phone stays quiet no matter how good you are.

We optimize and manage your Google Business Profile — categories, reviews, photos, posts — until you own your neighborhood.

We build the citations, structured data, and authority signals that make AI assistants mention you when it matters.

Google AI Overviews

SEO News & Answers

SEO in Philadelphia, in plain English.

The detail behind everything above — what search optimization actually involves, what it costs, and why the answer is never a package off a shelf.

Understanding SEO Services

What is SEO?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, which is getting you ranking on Google, Bing and other search engines for certain terms and keywords as we call them that are relevant to your business.

How Much is This Going to Cost?

Search Engine Optimization Packages

Internet marketing agencies often times do not understand that every business is different and therefore offer set prices and packages – you pay “X” and they will deliver “Y”. The problem with this mindset is that it never really works. The reason is because every business is different, even if they are in the same industry and vertical. Business owners understand this, but many online marketing agencies unfortunately do not. At SEO Locale, we understand everything needs to be custom tailored and geared to your businesses specific situation, needs, and goals. How our pricing works.

If you want to succeed as a business, you’ll need to keep up with the competition. The best way to do that is by creating a strong internet presence. Our digital marketing strategies will set you up for success both online and offline.

Why Is Having An SEO Consultant Important?

SEO Consultants in Philly

Businesses, brands, and websites in Philadelphia could reach much more of their target audience, increase traffic, and lead to greater numbers of conversions than ever through effective search engine optimization. SEO Locale is here to help you increase your revenue and generate more customers with just that.

The Importance of SEO

More and more consumers are using search engines not only to find information, but to scout products and services, both locally and nationwide. By seeing your business rise in the rankings, you can benefit from all the trust and visibility that comes with being the first thing a potential customer sees when they type a search in Google. From there, they land on your site, which is optimized to lead them much more effectively to the point of conversion, meaning more revenue for your business.

Our SEO & Digital Marketing Services

Through a balance of on-site and off-site SEO, we ensure that your approach to increasing customer engagement is comprehensive and that you see the rise in rankings that your site deserves. This includes looking at the potential blunders behind site design that makes it unfriendly to search engines, such as broken links, poor site architecture, and slow load times.

Do You Offer Local Listings?

Citations and Local Listings

A “citation” is simply any online mention of your business’s name, address, and phone number all together. Think of business directories and local sites like Yelp, Angie’s List, Foursquare, and other industry-specific platforms. Each one of these local citations acts like a vote of confidence for your business location.

The most important rule with citations is consistency. Your NAP information must be identical across every single platform. A small difference, like using “St.” on one site and “Street” on another, can confuse search engines and hurt your local SEO rankings.

Managing all these listings manually can be tough, but getting it right sends a powerful signal to Google. It confirms that you are a legitimate business at a real physical location. Consistency is fundamental for local search according to SEO experts at Moz, making it one of the most critical local search ranking factors. It is one part of a broader approach: we optimize for Google’s understanding of your business as an entity, not just for keywords, with schema markup, a maintained Google Business Profile, consistent citations, and tracking of whether you surface inside AI answers as well as the classic results.
