Welcome to Rugged SEO.  We’re a new local SEO agency but definitely not new to the SEO industry.  We have years of experience, knowledge and skills in:

• SEO  (Search Engine Optimization)
• SMM  (Social Media Marketing)
• PPC  (Pay Per Click / Adwords)
• Reputation Management
• Local SEO

We have experience helping SMBs (Small & Medium sized Business) as well as larger Enterprise corporations succeed online and make gains with online marketing.  While we do not turn away larger companies or e-commerce businesses, we have to admit that small businesses do have a special place in our hearts and as such, our passion is in providing local SEO services.

We hope you find our website easy to navigate and read, as well as learn a thing or two from our SEO blog. It’s our aim to help get some of what’s in our heads onto this blog and provide content rich in value which matter to local businesses.

We realize most small business owners will not enjoy SEO as much as we do, but we do hope they can learn something from us and at the very least see the power of online marketing.

Business owners are just swamped with options for advertising their business and attracting new customers.  Anything from print advertising (newspapers, magazines etc) to digital media (radio and tv) to telemarketing (yuck!), billboards (how do you measure the ROI here?!) and finally online marketing (SEO, Social Media, Paid Search / Adwords, etc).

How would a small business owner know where to even start?  What would work best for them?  Which methods would provide the best ROI?  Which ones would provide a measureable ROI?

They most likely just want to pick one and be done with it.  But at the same time, they’re nervous they might make the wrong choice.  Who can they trust?  What can they afford to risk?

I’m going to try my best to answer these questions and more, as well as educate you on the latest trends, news and helpful techniques in the SEO world.

Again, welcome to Rugged SEO and stay tuned for the next blog post which will explain why SEO is vital to small businesses.  Hey, it’s only a logical next step in the mind of the business owner when deciding what to do and why should they do it. 😉
