How SEO Drives Qualified Traffic and Revenue for Your Business

Search engine optimization is the work of making your business the most relevant, most trustworthy answer for the searches your buyers are already doing. Done right, it compounds. A page that earns a first-page ranking today can generate leads for years without incremental ad spend.

At THAT Agency, SEO means three things working together: your site needs to be technically sound so search engines can crawl and index it properly, your content needs to match what your buyers are actually searching for, and your site needs to earn enough authority — through links and credibility signals — that Google consistently ranks it over competitors. We handle all three, and you see exactly what’s happening at every stage with direct access to your own data.

What Our SEO Services Include

Comprehensive SEO. All Under One Roof.

THAT Agency handles every part of SEO, from technical work and audits through content, link building, local search, and ongoing performance optimization. All built into every engagement based on what your site actually needs.

Technical SEO

We audit your site’s foundation first — crawlability, indexation, site speed, Core Web Vitals, mobile performance, and URL structure. Technical issues don’t always tank rankings immediately, but they cap how far your site can grow. We find and fix them before building on top of them.

On-Page Optimization

We optimize existing pages for relevance and intent — titles, headers, meta descriptions, internal linking, content structure, and keyword alignment. We also identify which pages have ranking potential that isn’t being realized and prioritize those first.

Keyword Research & Search Intent Strategy

We map your keyword targets to actual buyer intent, not just search volume. A keyword with 1,000 monthly searches that attracts buyers in the decision stage is worth more than a keyword with 10,000 searches that attracts researchers with no purchase intent. We build your keyword strategy around that distinction.

Content Development

We create content designed to rank and convert — service pages, blog posts, pillar pages, and supporting resources built around your keyword strategy. Every piece is written at a reading level that respects your audience’s time and structured for both search engines and AI platforms.

Link Building and Authority Development

We build backlinks from credible, relevant sources through digital PR, editorial outreach, and content-based link acquisition. Domain authority is a long game, and we treat it that way — no shortcuts that create risk.

Reporting and Analytics

You see everything — rankings, organic traffic, conversions, and revenue attribution — in reporting tied directly to your source of truth. We don’t curate dashboards that make us look good. We show you what’s working, what isn’t, and what we’re doing about it.

How Our SEO Process Works

Step 1. Audit and Strategy

We start with a technical audit of your site, a competitive analysis of who’s outranking you and why, and a keyword and content gap review. From that, we build a prioritized roadmap — not a generic checklist, but a specific sequence based on what will move the needle fastest for your site.

Step 2. Implementation

We execute on a defined schedule. Technical fixes, page optimizations, content creation, and link building happen consistently. Your account manager communicates what’s being worked on and why — you’re not waiting for a quarterly report to find out what we did.

Step 3. Measurement and Refinement

We track performance against the goals we set at the start. What’s ranking? What’s converting? Where is the gap? We report on those questions monthly and adjust the strategy based on what the data shows — not what we assumed at the start.

Common Questions About SEO

Common questions businesses ask before partnering with an SEO company.

What does an SEO company actually do?

An SEO company helps your website rank higher in search engines so you get more qualified traffic, leads, and customers. At THAT Agency, that includes everything: comprehensive audits, keyword research, technical SEO, on-page optimization, content creation, link building, local SEO, AI search optimization (GEO), continuous performance tracking, and ongoing strategy refinement. We’re not running a checklist, we’re building a system tied to your revenue goals.

How long does SEO take to work?

Early signals show up faster than most people expect, keyword movement and traffic increases on lower-competition terms within 60–90 days. Meaningful results (page-one rankings on competitive keywords, measurable revenue impact) typically come at 4–6 months. The bigger payoff, where your site is dominating entire topic clusters and outranking competitors who started earlier, shows up at 12–24 months. Starting earlier is always better than starting later.

What SEO services do you offer?

Comprehensive SEO audits, keyword research and competitor analysis, on-page optimization, technical SEO, high-quality content creation, link building, local SEO, AI search optimization (GEO), continuous performance monitoring, and dedicated account management. We work with everything from small businesses needing local visibility to enterprise sites with thousands of pages.

How do you choose the right keywords to target?

Five-step process. First, we identify the keywords your target customers actually search using Ahrefs, Semrush, Google Search Console data, and conversations with your sales team. Second, we classify each keyword by search intent, informational, navigational, commercial, or transactional. Third, we run a competitor keyword gap analysis to find opportunities your competitors are missing. Fourth, we score keywords by traffic potential, conversion likelihood, and difficulty. Finally, we build a prioritized roadmap that targets quick wins first while building toward higher-difficulty, higher-value terms over time.

Can SEO help my business recover from a Google penalty?

Yes, we’ve helped clients recover from both manual penalties and algorithmic ranking drops. The process: full diagnostic to identify the cause (toxic backlinks, thin content, technical issues, helpful content system hits, etc.), corrective action plan, and ongoing monitoring during recovery. Manual penalties can lift in weeks. Algorithmic drops typically take 3–6 months of consistent corrective work. If you’ve recently lost traffic, the sooner we audit, the faster we can stop the bleeding.

How much does SEO cost?

SEO pricing depends on your industry’s competitiveness, your site’s current state, and the scope of work. Some campaigns focus narrowly on local visibility for a single location; others span national keyword strategy, technical fixes, content development, and link building across multiple service lines. We build every proposal around your specific goals, current performance, and competitive situation, with clear deliverables tied to outcomes. Request a proposal and we’ll send a customized recommendation tied to your business goals.

How do you measure SEO success?

We measure what actually matters to your business. Keyword rankings and organic traffic are leading indicators. The real measures are qualified leads, conversion rate from organic, revenue attributed to organic, and customer acquisition cost. We also track newer signals: AI search citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews; featured snippet captures; and share of voice against direct competitors. Every monthly report ties activity to outcomes, not vanity metrics.

Will SEO require changes to my website?

Almost always yes, effective SEO requires changes to content, technical setup, internal linking, and sometimes site architecture. We work with your team (or directly with your CMS if you give us access) to implement changes smoothly. Most changes are invisible to users but significant for rankings. We never make changes without approval, and we document everything we do.

How is THAT Agency different from other SEO companies?

Three things. First, we build custom strategies, no templated checklists. Every audit, every roadmap, every campaign is shaped around your specific business and competitive situation. Second, we tie everything to revenue. We don’t report on vanity metrics that don’t pay the bills. Third, we optimize for both traditional search AND AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews). Most agencies are still running 2020 SEO playbooks. We’re already winning where buyers actually look now.

Do you optimize for AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity?

Yes, this is one of the things we’re most focused on right now. AI search engines now influence purchase decisions at every stage of the funnel. We optimize content to be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude through structured Q&A formatting, schema markup, entity-rich content, and authoritative external citations. This is called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and it’s increasingly where the traffic is going. We track AI citations the same way we track Google rankings.
