Chattanooga work
Rankings in the towns where the jobs are.
Basement and Crawlspace Solutions needed rankings that bring leads for the long term and campaigns that make the phone ring today. Keyword research, on-page work, ongoing content and a link-building campaign across Chattanooga and the surrounding areas took them to #1, with 317% more conversions.
Southeast Painters, the Chattanooga commercial and industrial painter, got a search-built site with a page per service and their biggest projects on show. Refined Looks grew from one location to five in three years, opening in Cleveland, Tennessee and Dalton, Georgia along the way, with local search work for each.
Local SEO
The map pack is the first page.
For most Chattanooga searches the three map results get the calls, and they are won on the Google Business Profile, reviews, citations and a site that says plainly what you do and where. We fix the profile, build the review flow, clean up the listings from Hixson to Ooltewah, and build the location and service pages that back it up.
The first meeting is at our office downtown or on a 15-minute call, and it starts with a plain-English audit of where you rank today and why.

Questions
SEO Company Chattanooga, answered.
In the Chattanooga market, ongoing SEO from an agency is usually a monthly retainer, with the fee set by how competitive your category is and how many locations and services you need to rank for. Local SEO for a single-location business sits at the lower end, and multi-location or competitive categories like home services and medical go higher. We quote a monthly fee after the audit.
Local SEO changes, like the Google Business Profile and citations, can move map rankings in weeks. Competitive service terms take three to six months to move meaningfully. Basement and Crawlspace Solutions went from #8 to #1 in under 12 months.
Local SEO is the work that gets you into the Google map pack and the local results for searches with a place in them, like "plumber Chattanooga" or "near me". It centers on your Google Business Profile, reviews, consistent listings and location pages on your site.
GEO, generative engine optimization, is the work of getting your business named and cited in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. It builds on the same foundation as SEO, so we do them together. Our free GEO scan shows where you stand today.
No. We partner with one company per industry category in Chattanooga, so your SEO work is never shared with the competitor down the road. If one is already a client, we will tell you on the first call.
