What Our Clients Say
-
Jacob completed a case study project for us and knocked it out of the park. Our clients were so thrilled with the first draft that only a few minor wording changes for clarification of original source material were needed.

They really listened to what I had to say and replicated what I wanted far better than I thought could be done. Since my site went live I have seen a large uptick in new customers.

A standard 20-page site build or redesign may range between $10-20K. This would include SEO, copywriting, design, and DEV implementation. Monthly retainers vary: minimal support may be $800/month while full service is $2,500/month.
For context, larger agencies of our caliber charge $50K+ for projects and $10K/month. The difference is simply a matter of overhead and inefficiencies.

SEO is an acronym for "Search Engine Optimization". Simply put, SEO's purpose is to configure websites in a way that will satisfy the latest search engine algorithms in order to gain visibility under valuable search queries.

If you're considering an important purchase, will you select only among the options AI suggests? Or will you conduct some research yourself? We believe AI is a valuable tool — but search engines, in some form, will be utilized for a very long time.
-
In all likelihood, yes! However, there are cases where SEO isn't the best option.
Some industries require more SEO work than others because competitors have heavily invested into SEO for many years. For example, if you're a real estate agent in Austin, Texas wanting to rank on the first page for a valuable term such as "Austin realtor" — but you have a budget of only $500/month — you would be better served by paid advertisements.
Smedley Digital promises to be upfront with realistic performance expectations. We greatly value long-term, successful client relationships.
