Atlanta Results

Mental Health Practice: Page 3 to Map Pack Leader

A psychologist practice in Atlanta came to us buried on page 3. They weren’t showing up for any of their core service terms. Potential patients were finding competitors instead.

What we found:

Content overlap was cannibalizing their rankings. Multiple pages targeted the same keywords, confusing Google about which page to rank. Their backlink profile had toxic links dragging down authority. Service pages were thin and didn’t match how patients actually search.

What we did:

Consolidated overlapping content and established clear topical ownership per page. Cleaned the backlink profile, disavowing harmful links and building relevant local citations. Rewrote service pages around actual patient search patterns: “anxiety therapist Atlanta,” “therapist near me,” condition-specific queries.

Results (6 months):

• Every target keyword: Top 3 rankings
• Google Maps: #1 position for Atlanta

Multi-City Law Practice: From One Market to Market Leader Everywhere

A law firm practicing across multiple Georgia cities but only ranking in one. Previous agency had created duplicate content across location pages, triggering cannibalization.

We restructured their location strategy with unique content per market. Implemented proper canonical tags. Built city-specific backlink profiles.

“Our Atlanta law firm is ranked #1 on the first page of Google in every city we practice. Hands down the best digital firm we have worked with in years.” — Michael F., Law Firm Owner

Service Business: Invisible to #1 in One Month

A service business with a decade-old website. No rankings. No online leads. They assumed their web presence didn’t matter.

We redesigned the site and built an SEO campaign around their core service keywords.

“Within a month we were not only on the first page of Google but we were in the first position. We were receiving phone calls and form submissions. Not spam but qualified clients. We doubled our sales.” — Henry V.

National Rankings After Two Failed Agencies

A company that had worked with two previous SEO agencies. Neither achieved national rankings. We audited their previous work, identified strategic gaps, and rebuilt their approach.

“Southern Digital Consulting was our third SEO agency. No one was able to rank us nationally on the first page of Google until now.” — Jonathan L.

Why Atlanta SEO Is Different By Industry

Law Firm SEO in Atlanta

The Atlanta legal market is one of the most competitive in the Southeast. Ranking for “Atlanta personal injury lawyer” is notoriously difficult: Google shows over 8 million results, and only a handful of firms have reached page one in the last two years.

Personal injury law is a $38 billion industry nationally. In Atlanta, that means directory sites like Avvo, FindLaw, and Justia dominate results. Law firms also face some of the highest cost-per-click rates in paid search, making organic rankings even more valuable.

What makes legal SEO different:

Law is a YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) category. Google holds these sites to higher E-E-A-T standards: experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness. Generic content doesn’t rank. You need practice area depth, attorney credentials, case results, and client testimonials that prove real expertise.

We’ve helped Atlanta law firms outrank directories by building topical authority, fixing technical foundations, and earning relevant local backlinks. It takes 6-12 months in competitive practice areas, but the ROI justifies the investment.

HVAC SEO in Atlanta

In Atlanta, the peak seasons for HVAC service are the hottest weeks of summer and the coldest weeks of winter. Of the two, summer is busier by far. That’s the reality of the sweltering South.

HVAC search demand shows the sharpest swings of any home service category, with peak-to-valley variance regularly exceeding 250% to 600%. When temperatures hit 90 degrees in July, “AC repair near me” searches spike. Contractors who rank during those windows capture the most valuable emergency leads.

What this means for HVAC SEO:

You can’t start SEO in June and expect to rank by July. The time to build rankings is before peak season. April is your window to prepare before demand spikes.

We help Atlanta HVAC contractors build year-round visibility with neighborhood landing pages (Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Marietta), service-specific content (AC repair, heating installation, emergency service), and GMB optimization for local pack dominance.

Off-season is for building. Peak season is for converting.

Healthcare SEO in Atlanta

Healthcare is a YMYL category with strict E-E-A-T requirements. Patients search locally: “urgent care near me,” “dentist in Buckhead,” “dermatologist Sandy Springs.” If you’re not in the local pack, you’re not in the consideration set.

We help Atlanta healthcare providers dominate local search through GMB optimization, condition-specific content, review generation, and medical schema markup.

What We Do

Local SEO

Show up when Atlanta customers search nearby.

Google Business Profile optimization. Neighborhood-targeted landing pages. Review generation systems. Citation cleanup and consistency. Local pack strategy.

If you need to dominate “near me” searches in your service area, this is where we start.

Technical SEO

Fix what’s blocking your rankings.

Site speed and Core Web Vitals. Crawl efficiency and indexation. Duplicate content and canonicalization. Schema markup. Mobile performance.

Nothing else works if your technical foundation is broken.

Content Strategy

Content that ranks and converts.

Keyword research mapped to how your customers actually search. Topical clusters that build authority. Service pages that answer real questions. Content that earns links naturally.

We don’t write blog posts for the sake of blog posts. Every piece serves a strategic purpose.

Link Building

Authority you earn, not buy.

Local citations and Atlanta business directories. Industry-relevant backlinks. Partnership opportunities. Toxic link cleanup and disavow management.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)

SEO gets you found on Google. GEO gets you cited by AI.

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, Microsoft Copilot. These tools answer questions by pulling from websites they trust. If your content isn’t structured for AI citation, you’re invisible in the fastest-growing search channel.

We optimize your content for AI discovery: entity-rich copy, citation-worthy statements, structured data that AI systems can parse. When someone asks an AI “best Atlanta SEO company” or “how much does HVAC repair cost in Atlanta,” your business shows up in the answer.

SEO Pricing

Most Atlanta businesses invest between $1,500 and $5,000 per month in SEO. Here’s how pricing breaks down:

In competitive local niches like personal injury law, HVAC, and dental, $2,500 per month is the minimum for meaningful results. Below that, other marketing activities will give you better returns.

What’s included:

Keyword research and strategy. On-page optimization. Content creation or optimization. Link building. Technical SEO maintenance. Monthly reporting.

We offer month-to-month contracts. No long-term lock-ins.

What if my previous SEO didn’t work?

Common. We audit what went wrong: content mismatch, technical issues, bad backlinks, wrong keyword targeting, cannibalization. Then we fix it properly.

Do you guarantee rankings?

Yes. Top 3 rankings for at least 3 of your keywords, or your money back.
