What our Los Angeles SEO services cover
Technical SEO
Crawling, indexation, site speed, Core Web Vitals, JavaScript rendering, redirects and site migrations. Most sites we audit are losing traffic to problems nobody on the team knew existed. We find them, rank them by impact, and either fix them directly or write tickets your developers can ship. More on the discipline itself in our technical SEO services.
Content that maps to how buyers search
We build pages around the searches that lead to revenue: service pages, comparison pages, category pages, and the questions buyers ask before they call. Every page targets a validated keyword, and no two pages compete for the same one.
Links and digital PR
Rankings in a market like LA need authority. We earn placements on real publications and industry sites through our partner network and outreach, not link farms. See how we approach link building.
AI search visibility (GEO and AEO)
We track how often AI assistants mention and cite your brand for the prompts your buyers use, using our own tracking platform, PromptRush. Then we close the gaps. See our GEO services in Los Angeles.
Local SEO where it matters
For businesses that serve customers by location, we handle Google Business Profile, citations, reviews and location pages. We only build neighborhood pages (Santa Monica, Pasadena, Glendale, Burbank and so on) when there is real search demand for them, never a hundred thin doorway pages. This runs on the same playbook as our national local SEO services.
Who we work best with
- Tech and SaaS companies across Silicon Beach, Santa Monica, Culver City, Playa Vista and Downtown LA that need organic to drive demo requests, not just traffic.
- Ecommerce and DTC brands that need category and product pages to rank. See ecommerce SEO in Los Angeles.
- Law firms and healthcare practices in competitive local markets. See law firm SEO in Los Angeles and dental SEO.
- Established brands that see competitors showing up in ChatGPT answers and don't.
We are probably not the right fit if you want guaranteed first-page rankings in 30 days. Nobody can honestly promise that.
How an engagement runs
- Audit (weeks 1-2). Full technical crawl, keyword gap against your LA competitors, content inventory, backlink review and an AI visibility baseline across the major assistants.
- Roadmap. A prioritized plan: which pages to fix, which to build, which to merge, and what we expect each to move.
- Execution. Monthly content, technical fixes and link acquisition, handled by our in-house team.
- Reporting. Rankings, organic traffic, leads and AI citations every month, tied back to the work we shipped.
Brands we've worked with
Our team has run SEO and AI visibility programs for Picsart, Krisp, Sift, Aikido, 5WPR, EasyDMARC and Renderforest.
Two programs with published numbers. Both are SaaS companies competing in categories where AI assistants now shape the shortlist, which is the same problem most LA tech and DTC brands bring us.
| Case study | Headline result | What the work was |
|---|---|---|
| Krisp | +108% organic traffic, +81% organic signups | Four priority pages rebuilt into one connected AI meeting search cluster, with six #1 US rankings in five months. |
| Renderforest | +34% organic traffic, visibility won on four LLM platforms | SEO and AI visibility run as one system, so the same pages that ranked in Google also got cited by assistants. |
The full write-ups, including the periods they cover and what did not work, are on our case studies page.
Why SEO in Los Angeles is different
LA search behavior is spread across a huge metro. "Near me" searches trigger the map pack, which follows different rules than organic results. Neighborhood names carry real intent: someone searching in Glendale is not looking for a provider in Long Beach. And competition is heavy in categories where one client is worth thousands of dollars, which pushes up the authority you need to break into the top results.
That means a Los Angeles SEO plan has to decide early where you can realistically win: the metro-wide head terms, specific neighborhoods, specific services, or AI answers. We make that call with data in the first two weeks.

Frequently asked questions
How much does SEO cost in Los Angeles?
It depends on how competitive your category is and how much work your site needs. A local service business and a national SaaS company need very different programs. We scope every engagement after a free audit so the price matches the actual work, and we explain what drives the cost.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes and lower-competition pages can move within weeks. Competitive LA terms usually take three to six months of consistent work before rankings and leads move meaningfully.
Do you have an office in Los Angeles?
No. Our team is spread across Yerevan, the US and Germany, and we work with LA clients remotely. We meet clients in person when we're in town.
Do you only do SEO, or AI search too?
Both. Every engagement includes AI visibility tracking, because your buyers now ask ChatGPT and Perplexity before they search Google.
Can you work with our in-house marketing team?
Yes. Many of our clients have an in-house team. We slot in as the SEO specialists and hand over clear tickets, briefs and reports.
Want senior strategy without a full agency retainer?
Our founder, Roman Daneghyan, also consults directly. Work directly with our founder.
