SEO Services
Rank where your buyers look. Show up on Google without paying for every click.
Paid ads stop the day you stop paying. Search rankings keep bringing calls. We fix what is holding your site back, build the local presence Google trusts, and publish the pages and videos that answer what your buyers are asking. Then we report on what matters: calls, forms and booked work, not a list of keywords.

What is included
Technical, local, content and video, in one plan.
Technical SEO
Speed, mobile, crawling, indexing, redirects, broken links and structured data. We build fast sites for a living, so this is home ground.
Local SEO
Google Business Profile optimization, categories, services, photos and posts, plus consistent listings across directories.
Reviews
A steady flow of real reviews through automatic requests after each job, and replies that help the next customer decide. See reputation management.
Keyword and content strategy
The questions buyers ask before they choose, mapped to pages, with the money pages first.
Service and location pages
Pages that answer the question in the first paragraph, then show price ranges, process, proof and FAQs.
Video SEO
YouTube titles, descriptions, chapters and transcripts, and videos embedded on the pages they support.
Links and mentions
Earned mentions from partners, associations, local press and industry sites, never bought links.
Reporting
Search Console, GA4 and call tracking in one monthly report: traffic, leads and what we are doing next.
Why The Studio Creative
SEO works best when one team owns the site, the content and the video.
We build fast sites
Speed is a ranking factor and a conversion factor. We cut this site from 26MB to about 1MB on a phone and raised its desktop PageSpeed score from 94 to the high 90s; we bring the same care to yours.
Web designWe make the video
Google shows videos in results for how-to and comparison searches, and YouTube is the most cited source in Google's AI Overviews. We produce and optimize them in-house.
Video productionWe cover AI search too
The same work that ranks you on Google gets you cited by ChatGPT and AI Overviews, and we track both.

Pricing
How SEO pricing works.
SEO is a monthly retainer, scoped from the audit by how many locations you serve and how competitive your searches are. For context, here is what the market charges.
Local SEO
An Ahrefs survey of 439 SEO providers found local SEO retainers average about $1,557 a month; agencies average more, freelancers less.
All SEO retainers
The same survey found the most common monthly band is $501 to $1,000, and most providers charge $2,000 a month or less.
One-time work
Technical audits and fixes, site migrations and Google Business Profile setup can be quoted as projects.
Content and video
New pages and videos can be part of the retainer or produced as projects.
FAQs
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical and local fixes can move results within weeks. New content usually takes three to six months to reach its level, and SEO keeps compounding as long as the work continues.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls Google. We commit to the work, the reporting and the leads it brings, and we show you all of it.
Do you do local SEO for businesses outside Michigan?
Yes. We are based in Grand Blanc and work with businesses across the country, including Central Florida.
What is the difference between SEO and GEO?
SEO earns rankings in search results; GEO earns mentions and citations in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews. They overlap heavily, and our SEO plans include the basics of both.
Will you write the content?
Yes. We interview you and write it, so it carries your real experience, which both Google and AI assistants now reward over generic articles.
Do I need a new website for SEO?
Not always. Many sites need fixes, not a rebuild. If the platform itself is the problem, the audit will say so plainly.
