Riptide SEOâ„¢ is The Best Choice for Exceptional Small Business Websites

Your website is one of your most important business assets.

90% of purchasing decisions now begin online.

On average, 57% of your prospects have made the decision to hire you before they even contact you — purely based on their impression of you through your website.

For this reason, who you decide to entrust with your website development will have a lasting impact on your business.

The first thing we do when talking with any small business interested in working together is to ensure we are the right fit for each other.

We take the time to understand your business goals, target market, competition, existing marketing efforts, and unique needs — and help you decide whether the results you can realistically expect will far exceed your investment with us.

Our goal in working with you is a to achieve a 3X return on your investment — minimum. If we are not confident we can achieve that for you, then we will gladly refer you to other resources.

 

This snapshot from a new client’s Google Analytics account shows how we were able to immediately jumpstart their traffic through a new, properly-optimized website. Within two weeks of going live, they were getting more traffic than they had in two years. (And their phones started ringing again!)

Why do our clients entrust us with their website development (and beyond)?

Proven Methodology

From the time you submit your client application through project completion — our standard workflow is an organized, streamlined, user-friendly process with predictable milestones and unmatched results.

Exceptional Client Care

We take a uniquely hands-on, personal approach to working with our small business clients. The success of your campaign is our #1 priority, and we will go the extra mile to get results and exceed your expectations.

Industry-Standard Best Practices

Large corporations spend millions of dollars per year to test which website formats convert best. We take those same proven best-practices and apply them to your own websites so you can enjoy an “unfair advantage” over your competitors — affordably.

The Industry Leaders in SEO

The thorough on-page SEO that we custom-build into every website we develop is enough to boost traffic by itself — and even more powerful when combined with our long-term off-page SEO campaigns (offered separately).

w
Streamlined Communication

Our process is highly collaborative, and we simplify communication with you through a private online project management account so that you have everything you need to make the project a success all in one place.

Google Partners: Ahead of the Curve

As a Google Partner, we understand the complexities of the world’s most powerful search engine and stay ahead of the competition on the never-ending algorithm updates.

With Riptide SEOâ„¢ Websites, Max Performance Always Comes Standard

All our websites are built with the client and end-user in mind, using the WordPress Divi Theme.

WordPress is the most popular (and most powerful and secure) Content Management System in the world, and offers the most functionality available. It is also by far the best CMS platform for achieving the most powerful results with an SEO campaign.

Divi is, hands-down, our favorite WordPress theme. Continuously evolving, its innovative features are perfect for creating beautiful, professional websites.

Divi is also exceptionally user-friendly, which means that revisions can be completed very quickly. Even our non-developer clients can make updates to their website with very little training (and virtually no coding experience!)

Every Website We Build Includes the Following “ROI Maximizers”

Keyword & Competitor Research

Every project begins with competitive research to identify which keywords offer the best opportunities for generating traffic.

Complete On-Page SEO

We optimize the critical on-page elements that boost your rankings and set the perfect foundation for any future off-site SEO.

Mobile-Friendly & Responsive

Over half of searches begin on a mobile device. Our websites are 100% Mobile-Friendly, ensuring the best user experience.

Social Media Integration

We connect your Facebook, Twitter, and social media accounts to your website and add share buttons for a cohesive presence.

Google Maps Integration

If you need to configure a Google Maps account we will take care of it (or optimize your existing account as required).

Your Google Analytics and Search Console accounts will be configured and linked to your website for SEO and traffic monitoring.

SSL Security and Back-Ups

Your site will remain secure with SSL encryption, iThemes Security, daily Sucuri scans, and Cloudflare Firewall protection.

GDPR Compliance

The recent GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) applies to websites that may have, and gather any data from, EU users.

Content-Writing Support

We provide assistance with SEO copywriting if you choose to DIY. Or, we can save you the hassle and take care of it all for you.

Page Speed Optimization

Maximize the load speed of your website across all platforms to ensure the best functionality and user experience.

Google Ads Landing Pages

Set the foundation for a more powerful Google Ads campaign with our customized, conversion-optimized landing pages.

Already Happy With The “Look And Feel” Of Your Existing Website?

We also offer Divi Theme Conversions!

We can take your existing website and recreate it for you using the Divi Theme to give you a much more powerful and functional version of your existing website.

The Divi Theme Conversion option might be perfect for you if:

  • You are happy with the “look and feel” of your existing website and are happy with your current conversion rate
  • Your current website is not mobile-friendly or responsive
  • You want to add “bells and whistles” and modern functionality to the existing site
  • You want to regularly make quick and easy updates to your website (or have us take care of this for you)
  • You want to maximize the ROI of an SEO or a Google Ads campaign but need a stronger “proof of concept” to beat your competition.

All Divi Conversions include a complimentary website audit ($1000+ Value) to ensure the new version we create of your website offers the best possible user experience.

Pricing starts at just $1900 for a 20-page website.

How We Work: Our Small Business Website Development Process

PHASE ZERO: Preparation
As soon as you send us a client application, we carefully review your submission. If everything looks good, we’ll schedule a free 30-minute Strategy Session to discuss your goals and which solutions would best fit your unique needs.

Upon acceptance of our proposal, you sign a Letter of Agreement and submit your deposit. That’s our cue to get started.

PHASE ONE: Onboarding
The Welcome Packet we send you provides more details about what to expect in working together, and directs you to complete the next steps in our onboarding process. You receive access to your private project management portal.

We’ll schedule an Onboarding Call to answer any questions and ensure we have everything we need to proceed.

PHASE TWO: Strategy
This phase begins with market, keyword, and competitor research. We  schedule a Strategy Session to discuss our findings and recommendations and review your vision.

Based on your preferences we provide you with selected website design concepts to choose from.

If you are providing your own website content, we review it and provide feedback as needed — otherwise, we begin content creation at this point.

PHASE THREE: Design and Development
We will present you with a Homepage and inner page mockup for your review. Upon your approval, we continue with build-out, adding your content.

If you intend to launch a Google Ads campaign upon website completion, we also build your dedicated AdGroup landing pages.

You will be able to experience your website and request refinements via our Demo Site.

PHASE FOUR: Launch
Unless you already have your own hosting, we will set up your new hosting and security measures prior to taking the new website live.

As soon as the site is live, we run a thorough performance check to ensure all links and functionality are working properly, and configure your Google Analytics and Search Console accounts if required.

PHASE FIVE: Results & Growth
We provide 30 days of complimentary post-launch support to ensure the transition is seamless and to answer any questions as they arise.

At this point, most clients choose to continue with our long-term maintenance and support options.

Those who want to start driving traffic to their website may also choose to pursue a complete SEO campaign, a Google Ads campaign, or both — which we are able to launch as soon as the new website goes live.

Frequently Asked Website Questions

Is web hosting included in your website development or monthly maintenance plans?

We do not offer hosting services in-house, so you will need to set up your own hosting account in order for us to take your new website live.

There are many hosting options to choose from. We have tested many of them and prefer SiteGround. They are very affordable, strong on speed and security, and don’t “nickel-and-dime” you on SSL certificates or new email accounts (as many other hosting services do).

They also have exceptional customer service, which is worth the price alone in our opinion!

What Payment Options Do You Offer?
For Website Development, you may choose to pay everything up front, or pay increments.

If you choose to pay incrementally, we require:

  • 20% to secure your spot on our waiting list (first come, first serve)
  • 40% at project start
  • 40% upon delivery (website goes live)

If you choose to pay everything up front, enjoy 10% off your project quote!

How long does this process normally take?
From start to finish, we recommend planning for 12 weeks. Turn around time could be sooner, depending upon number of requested revisions and how quickly the client is able to provide content and media contributions.
