A lot of small businesses get burned by SEO companies. Not because SEO doesn’t work — but because they’re sold a one-size-fits-all strategy.
If you’ve paid for SEO and seen nothing in return, it’s not you. It’s the approach.
If you’re not showing up at all, this blog explains why.
The Problem With “Set It and Forget It” SEO
Most cheap SEO packages do the same thing for every client:
- A few generic blog posts
- A recycled Google Business Profile description
- Some vague “optimization” that no one explains
None of it is based on your industry, location, or what your actual customers are searching for. That’s not SEO — that’s just noise.
Real SEO Is Custom — Because Every Business Competes Differently
Let’s say you run a law firm. Your ideal client doesn’t search the same way as someone looking for a landscaper.
Let’s say you’re in Bakersfield. You’re not competing with businesses in L.A. — you’re competing with others in Kern County.
If your content doesn’t reflect those differences, you’ll never rank where it matters.
Not sure if your content is doing anything for your SEO? This post breaks it down.
What Personalized SEO Actually Looks Like
- Blog topics tied to your services, city, and target customer
- Keywords matched to real search intent
- Google Business content that builds trust
- Internal links that show Google what your site is about
- A strategy that changes based on performance — not a fixed monthly checklist
The Big Shift: From Vendor to Partner
You don’t need an SEO “package.” You need a partner who understands your business, your voice, and your market — and builds content that reflects all three.
That’s what actually ranks in 2025.
At Rank & Reach, we don’t believe in templates. Every piece of content is built to match your business, your location, and your goals.
