Our SEO Services

Core Web Vitals

"This signal measures aspects of how users perceive the experience of interacting with a web page. Optimizing for these factors will contribute to business success on the web as users grow more engaged and can transact with less friction, especially on mobile."
- Google 2021

Branding

"Google loves brands and subsequently, it loves to see brand queries. Public relations and omnichannel promotion should be a focus, such as being active on YouTube, social media, blogging, conferences, and remarketing to build connections and lasting relationships."
-Neil Patel 2021

Mobile-first Indexing

Google's been slowly making the mobile version of websites their starting point for its index and the baseline for determining rankings. That's why our websites are not just "mobile-responsive," they are literally built for mobile-first and expand to larger screens as an afterthought.

Anti-spam

Google has invested heavily since 2020 in its own spam-fighting AI that's highly effective at catching known and unknown trends in both link schemes and on-page spam. In 2021 alone, Google has released two separate spam updates, so ethical SEO is going to be essential moving forward.

100% White hat SEO

Small business friendly
We understand small businesses, we are one, that's why we don't inflate our costs with white label SEO. Instead, our family-run digital marketing agency is taking on big-box brands with straightforward deliverables, aggressive upfront pricing, and quick-buy services that put money back into Durham communities where everyone wins.

Derek Cummings SEO Consultant Durham, NC

I've been building websites since, before the dot-com bubble, it all started with a used Smith Corona my grandmother picked up at the church thrift store. Over the past couple of decades, I've made every internet marketing and SEO mistake under the sun. Today, SEO SEMPER helps small businesses avoid the same pitfalls with affordable, ethical, low-friction solutions.

SEO pricing in Durham, NC

Premium cloud hosting is included in the price?
Absolutely! Our goal is to provide all the digital marketing basics for one simple price, this way we can ensure your search engine optimization success from every angle, and hosting is no exception because even your hosting plan can impact your SEO these days.
When will I receive my first monthly report?
Reports are delivered in arrears after the first full month following the completion of SEO onboarding, so if you complete SEO/SEM onboarding on January 3rd, you'll get your first report on February 3rd if it's a business day.
Do you offer these services individually?
Not anymore, long gone are the days where optimizing poorly designed websites for SEO is even remotely productive. Over the years we've found it far more expensive for both parties involved to optimize bad websites for search, and with over 25% of all online sales coming from organic traffic, designing websites without including SEO only means losing more money. Bundling these services and working on websites we've built is allowing us to work far more efficiently and keep our prices the lowest in the industry while continuing to provide top-tier results that are in line with the latest in web standards.
Content curation and scheduling?
We'll find the best times to share your blog content with your audience, and when you have nothing to share, we can keep engagement up with targeted hand-curated fill in content.
What about traditional PPC?
While we don't offer PPC management at this time, we can however help you with PPC research. The honest truth is that because of improvements in Google's own ads AI, doing your companies own PPC is far easier than it's ever been before, so why is it so expensive? This is why we're working on a do-it-yourself PPC guide for small businesses who can't afford pricey traditional PPC management.
Passive backlink setup?
We will add a couple of codes to your website in the back end that will encourage both in-text and image backlinks passively when combined with outstanding content, and at the same time enhance your site's rich snippets in search engine results pages.
Retargeting ready?
We can help better guarantee the conversion rate of your online ads by targeting visitors who've viewed certain parts of your website or your buyer-optimized articles. This is accomplished by utilizing tracking pixels or cookies that follow the user around after they leave your website. While we don't create online ads, if you give us your pixel id we'll set up a custom domain-branded URL that you can put on your website to activate your pixels, we can do the installation for you if need be. Need help? You can learn more about how to set up Facebook's pixel here.

Can I transfer my site to another hosting provider?
Since you own rights to everything, you can manually copy the content and design, however, automatic transfer to another host is not possible at this time. Honestly, our clients are so happy with our services that this has never come up as a problem for us before.
What can I expect from the blog copywriting?
While other small business SEO companies advertise "blog copywriting," the 500-word fluff they offer isn't going to rank or build brand awareness. Instead, our focus for small businesses is to help you build powerful pieces of engaging content that'll help your local pages rank through exceptional internal linking and promotion.
How does the monthly SEO consulting work?
We'll email you monthly digital marketing suggestions based on your current progress, discoveries made with our own eyes, and of course your monthly report. To keep our prices competitive we do not offer phone support at this time, however, if you need urgent help with something a phone call can sometimes be arranged.
Is SEO SEMPER right for our business?
Our target customers range from startups looking to get online as cost-effectively as possible to established companies looking for a refresh in light of a web design disaster or SEO nightmare and busy small business owners alike. Our eCommerce solution and built-in CRM works well for almost any small business product, but when you need something a bit more powerful we also have a premium CRM solution available.
Have a money back guarantee?
If you are not satisfied with the quality of SEO SEMPER's design services, you can request a full refund before the second iteration of revisions are approved. If the order is approved and transferred the project is considered closed, and the funds spent on its development are non-refundable.
What is an SEO audit?
First, we'll analyze your website for every technical SEO issue known to man such as errors, missing tags, bounce rate, and CTR optimizations to name a few. Next, we'll use our very own eyes to recommend any user enhancements that can be made to improve SEO.
Internal linking?
Strategic internal linking using Google's own relevance indicators can provide a permanent rankings jump, passing on page authority from your better ranking pages to lesser ones, that's exactly what we're doing here. Not only do we find the relevant internal links, but we also find the optimal anchor text for SEO and place the links contextually where they make sense without keyword stuffing.
