Seattle and the Eastside are two markets separated by a lake, with searchers who do their homework. We run SEO for Seattle businesses from our Philadelphia office, with an in-house team, a rank tracker we built and a monthly report pulled from your own analytics.
Downtown and South Lake Union draw firms and software companies, Capitol Hill, Ballard, Fremont and West Seattle hold the restaurants, practices and studios, and Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland and Renton on the Eastside are a separate result page with wealthier, busier searchers. We map them before writing.
Seattle searches rarely cross Lake Washington, so a business that serves both sides needs a profile and pages that say so. The categories and service areas are set for where your customers are, from Everett to Tacoma, and every review gets a reply.
Each keyword is tracked weekly in SEOApp, which we built in-house, and the report every month ties the rankings to the leads they produced, pulled from your own analytics rather than ours.
Service pages and posts that name the neighborhoods, the counties and the state, written for readers who will notice if they are thin. A home services company covering King County and a consultancy selling to the tech campuses need different pages, and both need depth.
Seattle is a company town three times over. Amazon fills South Lake Union, Microsoft fills Redmond, Boeing fills Everett and Renton, and the professional firms, practices, restaurants and trades across King, Snohomish and Pierce counties serve the people who work for them. The Eastside has grown into a second downtown with its own searches.
We do not have an office in Seattle and we will not pretend to. What we have is an in-house team of twenty-plus in Pennsylvania, clients across the country, and a rank tracker we built ourselves. Seattle clients get a video kickoff, a shared dashboard, a weekly rank check and a monthly call with the strategist who runs the plan. If the market looks like one we cannot move, we say so during the proposal.
The region’s small and mid-sized businesses live in Capitol Hill, Ballard, Fremont, Queen Anne and West Seattle, and across the lake in Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Issaquah, with Tacoma and Everett as markets of their own. A dentist in Kirkland and a restaurant on Capitol Hill are both “Seattle” to a searcher, and both are found in the map pack before anywhere else.
That is where the first month goes: local SEO and Google Business Profile: the listing, the reviews, the service areas and the pages that back them up. From there, paid ads for the searches worth buying now and a site built to turn the visit into a call.
Seattle searchers work at Amazon, Microsoft and Boeing or for the companies that serve them, and they research a plumber the way they research a vendor. They read past the first result, compare the sites and notice the gaps. A thin page loses in Seattle faster than anywhere outside the Bay Area.
Live reviews pulled straight from both our Google Business Profiles, refreshed daily.
SEO Locale has been handling the marketing for our company, Sector Bay Laundry, for about 6 months. We moved on from another company, and the work ethic and responsiveness have been a night and day difference. I can't point out one specific person because the entire team as…
SEO Locale has been great in every way! Very responsive and certainly willing and able to help in anything related to our site, seo and etc. You will not be disappointed, they are a great team to add as a vendor for all businesses.
Amazing team. SEO Locale has helped transform our digital presence and continues to deliver real, measurable results. They’re responsive, collaborative, and genuinely care about our growth. Highly recommend for anyone looking to level up their marketing.
SEO Locale has been incredible to work with. We had been using another company before them, and the results were very poor so partnering with SEO Locale was a breath of fresh air. From day one the difference in communication, professionalism, and results was obvious. Nick and…
We’ve been working with SEO Locale for over a year now, and the impact has been great. They took the time to understand our niche in exotic car exhausts and built an SEO strategy that fits our brand perfectly. We’ve seen stronger organic traffic, better keyword rankings, and…
I had a really good impression of Nick and the team but unfortunately they significantly underdelivered on what was promised. With two days left after our first month all we had received was a list of keywords and a few articles that were almost certainly AI generated, about 20%…
Short answers, the same ones you would get on the phone.
Yes. We work with clients across the country, and the process is the same wherever they are. Kickoff is a video call, the dashboard is shared, rankings are checked weekly and the monthly review is a call with the strategist who runs your plan. We schedule around the three-hour difference.
Wherever your customers are, and the audit answers that with data. Searches rarely cross the lake, so a business in Bellevue that wants Seattle customers needs pages and a profile that say so, and the reverse is true. We will not tell you to target both if one is where the work is.
Every keyword is checked weekly in SEOApp, the rank tracker we built, and the monthly report shows rankings, traffic, calls and forms from your own analytics. The strategist walks you through it in person or on a call; nothing is a screenshot you have to interpret alone.
No. Everything is month to month. We would rather earn the next month than hold you to a term, and the plan is explained in full before you pay for any of it.
The people who would run your Seattle campaign, in their own words: how we win the map pack and the searches behind it.

We already serve the state from our Washington SEO page. Seattle gets its own because the metro is a market unto itself. A search for an employment attorney in Seattle happens against firms that serve the largest employers in the world, and a search for a contractor in Bellevue is competing for some of the most valuable home services work in the country. Neither has anything in common with the same search in Spokane.
What we bring is what every client gets: an in-house team, a rank tracker we built, a monthly report pulled from your own analytics, and a month-to-month agreement. The strategist on your account, the writer and the developer all sit in our Montgomeryville office, and the project manager you call is the one who runs the plan.
First the free audit, read by a strategist, not generated. You get where you sit in the Seattle map pack and the organic results, who sits above you, what their sites and profiles have that yours does not, and the technical issues holding the site back. Then a proposal with a price for your situation; we do not sell packages.
Seattle businesses we hear from most are home services companies covering King and Snohomish counties, medical, dental and wellness practices, law firms, software and B2B companies selling nationally, restaurants and hospitality groups, and professional services firms on the Eastside. If that is you, the audit is the right first step. If you are not sure SEO is the right spend yet, call and ask; we will say so if it is not.
The first thing a Seattle searcher sees is the map, so Local SEO and Google Business Profile come first for them. For the software and B2B companies selling everywhere, national SEO is the program, with paid advertising for the searches worth buying now.
