Along with providing content for your website, its design and development are also critical to your success. If your website is slow or doesn’t offer the information a consumer needs right away, they’re likely to leave and check out a competitor’s site instead. And let's be honest, no one wants to be the "slow Pittsburgh driver" online—especially when it comes to your website.
Our experts understand what users expect when they visit a website. In addition to developing your desktop site, having a mobile-friendly version is just as important. Most consumers now do business on their smartphones. If your site isn’t optimized for mobile, they could have trouble scheduling a service or making a purchase.
Our team can help redesign and optimize your website to boost traffic and streamline transactions. After all, we want your site to be as quick and efficient as a Pittsburgher getting through a Steelers game traffic jam!
Don’t be left in the dust by your competitors. Start unlocking the secrets of search engine optimization by contacting us today. Together, we can help rank your website high on Google’s search page, increase traffic to your website, grow your consumer base, and increase revenue. Contact us today.
A bustling city means a new company on every corner trying to outdo you, whether you are in the Strip District or the South Side, and being the one that gets found is the whole job.

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 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%…
What Pittsburgh businesses ask before they hire anyone.
Yes. We work with clients across Pennsylvania and the country, and the process is the same wherever they are: a video kickoff, a shared dashboard, weekly rank checks in SEOApp and a monthly call with the strategist who runs your plan. Pittsburgh is the same time zone and the same state, which makes it simpler than most.
Your suburb first, the city second. A customer in Cranberry searches Cranberry or Wexford, not Pittsburgh, and the map pack ranks by distance. The home page leads with where you are, the service-area pages cover the towns you actually serve, and the city is named where it is true. The audit shows which names your customers type.
For the searches that matter to a practice, yes. The systems win the hospital-level searches. A patient looking for a dermatologist in Shadyside or a physical therapist in the South Hills is looking for a practice, and the map pack ranks on the profile, the reviews and the pages rather than on size. The audit shows where the openings are in your specialty.
The competitors, the neighborhoods and the names are all different, and the result pages reflect it. Pittsburgh customers also stay on their side of the rivers more than Philadelphia customers stay in their suburbs, so service areas have to be drawn tighter. We build a Pittsburgh campaign for Pittsburgh, not as a copy of a Philadelphia one.
Every keyword is checked weekly in SEOApp, the rank tracker we built, and you get a login. The monthly report shows rankings, traffic, calls and forms from your own analytics, and the strategist walks you through it. Nothing is a screenshot you have to interpret alone.
No. Every agreement is month to month. The plan is explained before you pay for it, and you can stop when the work stops being worth it.
The people who would run your campaign, in their own words — and the reason this agency was started in the first place.

A Pittsburgh customer in Mt. Lebanon does not drive through the tunnel to Cranberry for a dentist, and a customer in Fox Chapel does not cross the river to the South Hills for a contractor. The city is ninety neighborhoods and the suburbs sort themselves by which side of which river they sit on: the North Hills along Route 19 to Wexford and Cranberry, the South Hills from Mt. Lebanon to Bethel Park and Upper St. Clair, the eastern suburbs out to Monroeville and Murrysville, the airport corridor through Robinson. Google draws its map the same way, so a Pittsburgh business ranks in its own quadrant or not at all.
In the city itself, the Strip District, Lawrenceville, the South Side, Shadyside and Squirrel Hill each have a main street and a result page of their own, Oakland is the universities and the hospitals, and the North Shore and downtown are the offices and the stadiums. The plan for a Pittsburgh business starts with which of these it serves, builds the Google Business Profile and the location pages for that ground, and tracks the keywords by neighborhood rather than by city.
Pittsburgh is a healthcare and university city first: UPMC and Allegheny Health Network are the largest employers in the region, and Pitt, Carnegie Mellon and Duquesne fill Oakland. A practice here competes for patients in the shadow of two systems, and wins the searches the systems do not bother with: the specialty, the neighborhood, the condition. Around them, the robotics and software companies that grew out of CMU have made Lawrenceville and Bakery Square a tech corridor, the law and accounting firms downtown serve the corporations, and the trades serve a housing stock that is old, hilly and in constant need of work.
The businesses we hear from most in Pittsburgh are medical and dental practices, home services companies and contractors covering the North or South Hills, law firms, restaurants in the neighborhoods, and the technology and B2B firms that sell nationally from the East End. Each gets a plan for its own market, and the audit shows who is actually in the map pack for its category.
We do not have an office in Pittsburgh and we will not pretend to. What we have is an in-house team of twenty-plus at the other end of the Turnpike, clients across Pennsylvania and the country, and a rank tracker we built ourselves. Pittsburgh clients get a video kickoff, a shared dashboard, a weekly rank check and a monthly call with the strategist who runs the plan, in the same time zone and the same state. We serve the rest of the state from our Pennsylvania SEO page.
The engagement starts with a free audit reviewed by a person: where you sit in the map pack and the organic results for your part of the city, 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 built for your situation, never a package, and an agreement that runs month to month.
