Justin Monk SEO

Small businesses in the Spokane Valley area of Washington are the main audience for this search optimization agency. Justin Monk SEO combines ranking work with website building, and it makes much of one practical point: the owner shares a personal phone number and says he aims to answer or return each client call quickly.

Ranking reports every week

The agency sells search engine optimization on the basis of visible position in Google. Each client receives a weekly ranking report showing where the business stands, along with ongoing website analytics. The agency presents these reports as proof that the work is moving the business forward, and says clients always know what they are paying for.

How the agency explains search

Its pages compare SEO with an Olympic contest: the sites that handle ranking factors best are rewarded when people search, and the first organic Google position is the gold medal. It argues that SEO is among the more cost-effective forms of digital marketing but also one of the hardest to get right, and that a wrong choice of keywords can bury a site among countless results. The work covers keyword selection, placing content and links so that information is easier to find, and making a site easier to navigate for visitors as well as for search engines.

The agency also describes a data-driven loop: put a plan in place, re-examine the data, and rework the plan to attract new customers and keep existing ones.

Websites built to be found

Alongside SEO, the business designs mobile-friendly websites that are optimized for search from the start.

What it says about results

The agency claims that its work has generated millions in new revenue for local clients and that some of them receive ten or more calls a day because of the visibility it has built. It also says most clients stay once rankings start to compound after the first year, and it lists transparency, communication, performance, lead growth and long-term partnership as its selling points.
