Salt Lake City Web Design and Local SEO from an Agency That Uses Its Own System

Most SEO agencies I've never ranked their own service business. I built a Salt Lake City service business from scratch, on my own dime, to run this system on my own books. It brought in 124 qualified leads from search alone in one season. What we do for clients, we have done for ourselves.

WE WALK THE TALK

Most agencies sell local SEO without ever running it on their own books.


We built a Salt Lake City home-service business from scratch, on our own dime and on our own time, so we could run this system end-to-end before selling it to another operator.


Here's what the same playbook did for a brand-new local company with zero name recognition.

We didn't want to sell something We hadn't lived

What this looked like for our own business:

124 Search-Attributed Leads

In one season, search alone brought in 124 qualified leads for my own SLC service business. Not impressions. Not clicks. Booked leads.

$38,880 From Local sEO Alone

Website and Google business profile traffic produced $38,880 in revenue in about two months. That was before stacking any other channel on top.

$1,311.98 from chat GPT

3 tracked leads from LLMs. AEO/GEO/AIEO is just good SEO

Ranked top three across the map pack for many high intent search terms 

We ranked in Google's local Map Pack across our service area. If your SEO agency isn't talking about your GBP, you need a new one. 

$139K+ Total, Search as the Foundation

Stacked with Meta, yard signs, and referrals, the same two-month window brought in $139,000+ and 488 total leads across channels.

Websites that look good but aren't built for SEO

Nice design, but no real site hierarchy, weak service structure, and nothing that helps Google understand what you do or where you work.

Shop icon with an awning.

Google Business Profiles with reviews but no visibility

Plenty of reviews, yet the profile barely shows up because the foundation was never set correctly.

Document icon.

Content that gets traffic but no calls

Blog posts and pages targeting cities you don't serve or keywords that will never convert into real jobs.

Dollar sign.

Thousands spent on "cheap SEO" that does nothing

Monthly deliverables with no prioritization, no strategy, and no measurable impact.

Salt Lake City's Trusted Local SEO Solutions

The local growth system - built for local Businesses

We run two services, Web Design and Local SEO, but they're really one system. A premium site that ranks and converts, wrapped in a local search engine that owns Salt Lake City. The site feeds the SEO. The SEO feeds the calls. Everything compounds because nothing gets built in isolation. It's the same system I built on my own Salt Lake City business before offering it to anyone else.

Expansion only works when the core system is already performing.

Frequently Asked Questions

You have SEO questions; we have answers.

  • Can you prove this system actually works?

    Yes. On top of client results, I built my own Salt Lake City home-service business from scratch to run this system end-to-end. In one season, search alone brought in 124 qualified leads and $38,880 in revenue, and we earned Map Pack visibility without a traditional storefront address. Total cross-channel revenue for that window was $139K+ on 488 leads. The full breakdown lives in the case studies section.

  • How long does it take to rank in Salt Lake City on Google Maps?

    It depends on your current foundation. For a well-set-up GBP in a moderate SLC suburb, meaningful map pack movement usually takes 60 to 120 days. Central Salt Lake City is more competitive and takes longer, usually 4 to 6 months of consistent work before the compounding kicks in. It also can vary by industry. can alsoWe tell you where you actually stand on the first call.

  • Do I need a new website, or can you work with the one I have?

    If your current site has a decent foundation, we tune it up. If it runs on something that blocks proper SEO, or the hierarchy and service structure are broken beyond reasonable fixes, we rebuild it right. We tell you on the Strategy Call, not six months in.

  • Do you only work with home service businesses?

    No. We started in the landscaping and green industry and still do a lot of that work, but the system applies to any local Salt Lake City service business doing real revenue: medical, legal, professional services, specialty trades, boutique retail. The principles of owning local search don't care about your vertical.

  • What cities and suburbs do you cover?

    The entire Wasatch Front. Salt Lake City, Murray, Millcreek, Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Sandy, South Jordan, Draper, West Valley City, Taylorsville, West Jordan, Midvale, and the surrounding metro. If you serve it, we build the pages and the GBP strategy to target it.

  • How is this different from a typical Utah SEO agency?

    Three things. One: we run our own local SEO on our own businesses. Most agencies don't. Two: web design and SEO come as one build, not two disconnected services. Three: we only do local SEO. We know what we do, we do it well, and we stay in our lane.We

  • What happens in the first 90 days?

    We set the foundation. Site structure gets fixed or rebuilt. GBP gets properly set up. Service and location research maps your demand across the SLC metro. Baseline measurements get documented. Quick wins like LSA setup, call tracking, and citation cleanup ship in parallel. By day 90, you have a real system in place, not a to-do list. It's the same Phase 01 I ran on my own business before any client touched it.
