Why HumWeb/IT

Questions

Local SEO, answered.

How long does local SEO take in Humboldt County?

Fixing the foundations, like your Google Business Profile and directory listings, takes a few weeks. Most businesses see ranking movement within a few months, and competitive searches take longer. We report every month so you can see exactly where you stand.

Can you guarantee I will rank #1 on Google?

No one can honestly guarantee a Google ranking, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What we can show you is our own result: HumWeb/IT holds the #1 spot in the Google Maps results for “SEO Eureka CA,” and we use the same process for clients.

What is the difference between local SEO and Google Ads?

Google Ads puts you at the top while you pay for each click. Local SEO earns you a place in the free map and search results, which keeps working month after month. Many businesses use both; we manage both.

How do you track results?

We track your rankings for the searches that matter in your area with BrightLocal, plus calls, direction requests and website visits from your Google Business Profile, and send you a plain-English report each month.

Do you help with Google Business Profile and reviews?

Yes. We set up or clean up your Google Business Profile, choose the right categories, add photos and services, and give you a simple way to ask happy customers for reviews.
