I AM GOING TO TELL YOU HOW I RANKED THIS PAGE FOR ‘WALNUT CREEK SEO COMPANY’…

BUT I AM NOT GOING TO TRY TO SELL YOU THAT WE ARE THE BEST SEO AGENCY IN WALNUT CREEK.

REALLY.

We’re Actually Located in Pleasanton 😉

From NBC To LSG

Before I show you how I ranked this page for “SEO Agency near me“, I’m going to tell you:

1. How I got into SEO after working in TV. Ask me how I had to tell Ed McMahon that his idea for a new online talent show was stupid, even though it was kind of great.



 

 

 

 

 

 

2. How my journey royally screwing up SEO might be applicable to your business. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re royally screwing up your SEO right now. Why else would you be reading this post? Search engine optimization posts are not exactly Shakespeare.

A common misperception is Local SEO is just putting a bunch of keywords on your page that contain the name of the city you are targeting, like SEO consultant in Walnut Creek, California. It’s actually much better to write something that your customer might actually find engaging. But then again, sometimes SEO really is that stupid.

If reading isn’t your thing, feel free to watch the video below. The rest of this text is pretty much for SEO 😉.

I have been doing Internet stuff for forever. In 1993, I launched Showtime Networks’ first website:

In 1995, I joined NBC’s first Internet division. I ran NBC.com when it was still weird to see URLs on TV. I did a lot of those early “Hey! Watch TV and do something on this website” stuff:

In 2003, I helped get InsiderPages, an early version of Yelp, off the ground. Someone told me about SEO and we got pretty good at it. At our peak, we had over 5 million monthly visitors. That enabled us to raise $8.5 million from Sequoia Capital and Softbank. We were going to be billionaires…

That allowed us to hire a head of Marketing who re-designed the site.

But I didn’t know what I didn’t know about SEO.

When we launched the new site, ALL the Google traffic disappeared.

And I got fired.

The day I got fired I met the head of LATimes.com for a drink. He was excited because he just got approval to redesign their site. “What are you doing for SEO?” I asked. He had no idea what I was talking about.

I explained what had happened to me and he kind of freaked out. He asked if I would be up for doing some SEO consulting for the LA Times. Well, I certainly didn’t have anything else to do, so they became my first SEO client.

That was 18 years ago.

Since then, we have worked with hundreds of Bay Area businesses big and small – like Mancini’s Sleepworld, LogoBoss, & SideTracks – to help them get more customers from Google via SEO and paid search.

Long story short, I have been in your shoes. I know how frustrating and ridiculous SEO can be.

And I know how critical succeeding at it can be to your business.

I know YOUR job may depend on it.

But I also know that despite it being easy to unclog a toilet, most people would prefer to have a plumber do it.

I am guessing you wouldn’t be here if your SEO toilet didn’t need some expert help.

LSG would love to be your SEO plumber near Walnut Creek, California (see what I did there?).

I don’t want to have a sales call with you. I’d love to have a conversation. Sometimes I can tell in five minutes what your SEO problem is. I love helping people out with this crazy art and science that can make or break businesses.

If you want to set up a zero sales-pressure call, please get in touch. I can tell you all about our various programs, pricing, etc., and I’ll be happy to give you some free advice about your website.

I won’t try to sell you something you don’t need, or understand.

And don’t read that stuff below. It’s purely for SEO purposes.

And that’s how I got this page to rank for “Walnut Creek SEO company” 🤔.
