Get website and local SEO Help with Wordy Jo, SEO Consultant
LINQ Flooring has had the pleasure to work with Jo recently. She is a wealth of knowledge and explains everything in plain language! The training she offered is fantastic and worth every penny. The training session is taped so that you can go back and refer to it. Brilliant! Within a couple days of her helping us with our Google Business Profile, we moved up to number 1 and 2 spot on GBP! LINQ Flooring would highly recommend Jo for any business!

I'm so happy I found Jo through a friend of ours who hired her last year to do some work with his website. Our studio has been around in the Okanagan for a few years but we were not coming up in searches for terms like holistic healer or holistic health or energy healing in our area because they are so highly used. Jo taught us how to do a full analysis of our local competitors and compare them to our own website performance. She taught us how to find out what search terms they were showing up for and which ones we could also use and how we could use them to get our clinic to show up too. She even taught us how to write articles for our site and make sure they were set up with SEO. Jo did a full overhaul of our website and rewrote a bunch of it so it was more SEO’d (is that a word?) and set us up with a keyword tracker so we can keep following the progress of our search terms that are actually helping our website show up on Google.
She’s a patient and thorough teacher and she really knows her SEO, so much so that I would take notes during our calls and then read up on them after and find that she was always accurate with her answers. Sorry for checking up on you Jo! haha. Lastly we now have an ongoing quarterly audit and fixes contract set up with her where she checks up on our site, our analytics, and our keyword efforts and either helps us to make the changes we need to or does them for us if we’re too busy. We have consistently been showing up on page one and on the google map listings for over a year and before Jo we weren’t even coming close to page one and didn’t show up on the map anywhere. Like I said we are so happy we found her and we know she gets a lot of her clients by word of mouth but I decided to send her a review in case someone who doesn’t know her is looking for someone to help you with your SEO. Highly recommend her! Thanks so much Jo!

Is your Vernon BC business (or Okanagan business) looking for SEO services:
-
to help you get more local traffic to your website or storefront?
-
to show up in the Map Pack of Google Business Profile or Bing Places?
-
to get your website found on Google and other search engines?
-
to generate more inquiries and leads?
Maybe you've built a rad website (or had one built) but it's not showing up in online searches and not bringing you any inquiries or leads? That's because your website isn't optimized (SEO'd) so Google won't recognize it as a good site that deserves to be ranked and displayed on search engines pages. Basically, Google is the granddaddy of all search engines—the one that determines how good a website and its information is—and it wants you to jump through a bunch of hoops before it will even think about allowing your website to be found in searches, let alone throw your site to the top of page 1 for the world to see.
And, to be blunt, most people don't know Jack about search engine optimization or what they need to do to get their websites approved and ranked by the Google algorithms. And what you need—to get your Vernon BC website recognized and ranked and showing up in online searches—is an SEO expert. Much like you take your car to a mechanic when it's broken down, you need to take your website to a website "mechanic" (aka an SEO expert) when it's messed up. And if it's not showing up in searches, it's messed up!
This is why geeknerds like me—who offer SEO services in Vernon BC and beyond—spend so much time learning and implementing everything we can about SEO, so we can help YOU get your website to show up and bring you more business.
Here's something a lot of local business owners don't know: If your site doesn't show up in searches, it also doesn't have a hope of showing up in local searches (in places like the map pack on Google Business Profile or Bing Places).
And ALL of that—your website showing up in online and local searches about Vernon BC or the Okanangan area—revolves around the beast that is SEO. And if you're not implementing (and maintaining) the SEO on your website and online platforms, your business WON'T SHOW UP! So you NEED to get your SEO dialled in.
Otherwise, you may as well fill up your online time watching porn, cuz that's about all the action you'll be getting online. #imakemyselflaughdaily

Competitive Analysis + Keyword Content Strategy
✅ SEO Competitive Analysis
-
Deep-dive into your three closest competitors (where they sit in the rankings, how much traffic they're getting, what's bringing in that traffic, backlink analysis, keyword analysis (including common keywords you share and keyword gap of keywords they rank for that you don't)
✅ SEO Keyword Strategy
-
A very detailed content strategy based on your and your competitors' keywords (including which keywords to focus on, how to use them, and detailed content outlines for the top 5 keywords you need to focus on right now)
Why do I need an competitive analysis or keyword strategy?
Once the technical SEO for your website and online presence is tweaked and fixed, ongoing SEO upkeep is ESSENTIAL to get your website to show up and keep climbing the rankings on Google.
The EASIEST way to make that happen is to become a content machine (be it with SEO-optimized blogs, SEO tied to social posts, SEO-optimized YouTube videos, updating your local search engine content (GBP and Bing Places) regularly, or whatever else).
Kicking ass at SEO and ranking high on search engines starts with knowing WHICH search terms to use and HOW to use them. In other words, you have to be able to give searchers answers or info about what they're searching for. And, to do that, you have to KNOW and UNDERSTAND search intent and how to find the right search terms (keywords) to use and how to use them to BEAT YOUR COMPETITION.
Competitive Analysis + Keyword Content Strategy is the best way to get started on this.
But, since most people don't have the time or bandwidth to dig into this stuff, or they don't understand how to do it, it's easiest to just hire someone who does know how to do it and who can give you all the intel on your closest competitors, what kind of content they are producing that is kicking your ass, and how to use that info to kick theirs and overtake them in the Google SERPs (Search Engine Ranking Pages—think Page 1 on Google, Page 2 on Google, etc.)
A Competitor Analysis & KW Content Strategy will give you an easy-to-follow plan of what keywords you need to focus on and what kind of content to create to move up on the SERPs and hopefully leave your competitors in the dust.
If I could offer any advice on this, I'd say don't think about it, just do it. GO!
What else do I need to have good SEO?
If you're not great at content creation, you may need someone to help you with it:
-
Creation of NEW customized long-form & evergreen content related to your niche
-
YouTube video SEO optimization
