The post Redefining SEO Agency Expectations in a Changing World appeared first on Seer Interactive.
It’s easy to write a piece of content, scan over it and hit publish.
But not long after, you get comments saying “this sentence isn’t right,” or “did you mean ‘optimized’ instead of ‘optimized’?”
There are tons of editing tools that help you spot those before others view your writing.
One of those is PaperRater.
In this guide, we’ll share:
Before we dive in, let’s be clear on what PaperRater actually is.
PaperRater is an AI-powered writing tool that:
The writing tool is geared towards students. It shows your estimated grade, with an option to send the text to a teacher. But technically, it can be used for any type of writing—including blogging, social media copy, or professional documents.
Now we know what PaperRater claims to do, there’s one question on your lips: Does it really work?
We put PaperRater to the test and found some good things—and some other not so good things.
Since PaperRater is a platform powered by AI, one of their biggest features is their claim to show results “typically within 5-15 seconds after submission.”
This was true for all of my successful tests.
However, note that these fast checks only apply to sentence structure and grammar. It takes slightly longer (around 15 seconds more) for plagiarism checks. But even still, that’s not excessively long to wait.
What good is a grammar and spelling checker if it doesn’t actually show those mistakes?
Overall, we found PaperRater accurate for checking big mistakes. In this example, you can see they flagged the incorrect tense “I’ve written,” and recommended changing it to “I’ve written”:
Similarly, PaperRater also flagged plagiarism when we tested a copy from this post. It showed the percentage of text that was duplicated, alongside links to show where else the content was found:
Another great feature of PaperRater is that it’s cloud-based. You don’t need to download any software or Chrome add-ons to use it—which also means there’s a little privacy risk.
The tool only sees the content you upload (rather than everything you visit using a browser add-on.)
Still concerned about privacy? PaperRater also allows you to use their writing tool without creating an account. You don’t need to hand over your email address, nor authorize a social media log-in, to use it.
I don’t know about you, but websites littered with adverts feel spammy to me.
That’s the impression I got when using PaperRater’s website—and it ended up being quite a frustrating experience.
For example: I clicked on a link that looked like a call to action saying “start now” to use the tool from their homepage… But instead, I got sent to a different PDF converter website. The ad looked worryingly similar to the rest of the website design:
Be careful of this when getting a report, too.
You’ll need to click “get report” not “start now,” which would also send you to the same PDF converter website:
We’ve already touched on the fact PaperRater is built for college students. This really comes through in their suggestions.
It suggested I turn “and” into words like “consequently”, “moreover”, and “nevertheless.” Switching to those terms would make the content feel incredibly corporate (and dare I say it: boring.)
The bottom line? It’s good for essays and research papers, but not so good for conversational writing styles.
PaperRater does flag big grammar and plagiarism problems.
…If you manage to get through to the results page, that is.
I ran into a few glitches during my test—like this one. I typed the sentence “does paperrater flag capitalization problems?” which gave this error message. It told me my content was non-English (when it was written in plain English.)
The glitches continue when you do get through to the review editor, too.
It says (1) next to each section (including spelling and grammar problems) which looks like they’re flagging an issue. But when you click on it, it says no errors were detected.
Another problem with PaperRater comes if you’re using different grammar styles.
For example: some companies use the AP style; others use the Chicago manual style. Part of the Chicago manual style rules include using the Oxford comma—another comma separator after the word “and.” The AP style does not.
PaperRater seems to follow AP style because it doesn’t flag where Oxford commas should be used in this sentence:
Once you get through to the review page, PaperRater shows you what needs fixing.
But when you change the text in the editor, nothing happens. You have to cut and paste it into a new search, so your real-time changes don’t get analyzed. You can’t make changes inside the editor and see results immediately; you need to make a brand new search.
That can get frustratingly repetitive—and quickly use up your free monthly report allowance.
There’s no doubt that PaperRater is a great tool, but it does have its downsides.
So, how does it compare to the other grammar and spelling checkers on the market?
Arguably one of the most popular grammar and spelling checker tools is Grammarly—a browser add-on that shows real-time suggestions.
One of the first things that came to mind when comparing the two was that Grammarly has a much nicer and cleaner user experience. You don’t see any ads with Grammarly, and since it’s added to your browser, you don’t need to use the website to see their results.
However, PaperRater is more secure because of that. Grammarly users have had issues with privacy since it’s a Chrome extension installed on all of their webpages. Their T&Cs say Grammarly stores most of your data even when you’re not actively using the tool.
(You can use a browser-based version of Grammarly, but you don’t get their full features without installing their Chrome add-on.)
PaperRater, on the other hand, only sees what you add to the browser editor. For that reason, PaperRater is a better option for privacy-concerned writers.
But if that’s not high on your list of priorities, Grammarly is the better option.
Another popular grammar checking tool is the Hemingway Editor.
Unlike Grammarly, this tool is browser-based, which means neither Hemingway nor PaperRater need adding-on to your browser. It only sees the information you submit for review. This makes both tools great options for privacy-concerned users.
(If you do prefer an app, you can download Hemingway to your PC. You can’t with PaperRater.)
However, Hemingway’s website is much more user-friendly and easy to use. The interface is extremely clean with absolute zero ads, and it’s totally free regardless of how much content you check.
Plus, Hemingway shows real-time changes. You don’t need to copy and paste your content and run several searches, to get a final end product. Hemingway shows suggestions as you type.
The only advantage that PaperRater has over Hemingway is the fact that the first checks for plagiarism, whereas Hemingway is a strictly writing and spelling check tool.
(But you can use tools like Duplichecker or Siteliner in conjunction with Hemingway to get the same—if not, better—result.)
Now we know what PaperRater can and can’t do, let’s take a look at how much you’ll be set back if you decide to add this AI-powered writing tool to your toolkit.
PaperRater currently offers two pricing tiers:
The free version of PaperRater gives you more than enough submissions. However, there are slightly more negatives than positives.
We only think it’s worth investing in PaperRater if you’re writing complex papers or professional documents. (And if you don’t mind the spammy design/overall feel.) Otherwise, the other two alternatives are completely free and give just as good suggestions as PaperRater does.
There’s no doubt that PaperRater is a good beginner’s writing tool.
It flags big mistakes in your grammar, doesn’t require full access to your browser to work, and is super fast to pull reports.
However, it doesn’t pass with flying colors. There are certain issues with PaperRater’s AI writing tool that doesn’t work as well as planned. It’s glitchy, the site feels spammy, and their on-site advertisements are misleading.
The bottom line? PaperRater is a good option for students or writers who need a writing tool to create professional documents.
But tools like Grammarly or Hemingway are better all-round alternatives that are completely free—regardless of how many submissions you want to check. You’ll also get more advanced writing suggestions, and a better experience, using one of those alternatives.

If you’re hoping to finally secure the attention your Tennessee-based business deserves, analyzing the best SEO companies in Nashville will rightly be the top item on your checklist.
But you haven’t a clue where to start. Until now…
We have done the hard work for you by checking out the City of Rock’s many SEO agencies to compile this short list of 10 experts you can trust to transform your fortunes for the better.
Whether solely hoping to dominate the local market or trying to reach outside audiences too, this guide will help you take the next steps in style.
1. Horton Group (29 points)
2. Bell Media (25 points)
3. Atomic Design (22 points)
4. Speak Creative Nashville (21 points)
5. 2 The Top Web Design & Marketing (21 points)
6. SnapShot Interactive (21 points)
7. Nashville SEO Company (19 points)
8. MedForward, Inc. (19 points)
9. Timeline Web Design (19 points)
10. Astute Communications (18 points)
For over 20 years, the Horton Group has delivered stunning results in the fields of web design and digital marketing. Thanks to their extensive knowledge, particularly for a localized market, as well as a heavy focus on SEO, they continue to deliver the best service in the Nashville region. By scoring an impressive 29 points on our review chart, the company sits a considerable distance above the local competition.
The SEO and digital marketing agency’s impressive portfolio covers significant local institutions such as Metro Nashville Public Schools in addition to companies across a range of business sectors. Nash Painting, The Chocolate Bunny Boutique, and The Nissan Stadium are just some of the examples. The diversity also shows that they can provide SEO for companies of any size, from startups to global giants.
Unlike some companies that focus on ego-inflating numbers that don’t matter, Horton’s is an SEO agency that aims solely to help brands rank “in the Google searches that matter most to your bottom line”. It’s easy to forget that the success of SEO (and other digital marketing strategies) campaigns are defined by financial returns. The Horton Group will help your business hone in on conversions.
Through on-site and off-site strategies, progress can be seen in just a few weeks. This is followed by further moves to keep the site in the #1 spot where it belongs.
Bell Media is a digital marketing agency that has featured in the Inc. 5000 list on no less than five times while it is also a confirmed Premier Google Partner and Accredited Professional by Bing Ads. Their reputation within professional circles, along with a track record for helping businesses climb the SERPs, is enough to clinch the #2 spot on our list. The agency should ring a positive note from your outlook too.
While the company does provide a range of web marketing services, including web design, everything is heavily influenced by SEO. The SEO agency works with a wide range of clients across the Beauty, Finance, Education, Legal, Airport, Property Management, Home Services, and Retail sectors. Regardless of your company’s background, it’s likely Bell Media will boost the skills and experience to implement a winning strategy.
Crucially, the company delivers results that enhance financial outcomes. Whether reducing a landscaper’s costs per lead by 70% or helping a professional HVAC company rank on Google’s first page for multiple key terms, Bell Media is able to demonstrate the many reasons why their modern approach to on-site SEO (keywords, mobile optimization, etc.) and off-site (outreach, Google My Business, etc.) marketing are right for your brand.
An increase in organic traffic from hot and warm leads can be expected within three months too.
Atomic Design lives by a simple promise to “build websites that convert”. From mobile to marketing, every aspect of the online strategy is deployed exclusively with this goal in mind. After all, it’s what business owners actually crave. It is a philosophy that has led to a string of five-star reviews, multiple web design awards, and the #3 slot on our list of the best SEO agencies in Nashville.
The Atomic Design mantra focuses on simplicity, providing easy management for clients, and clear results in all aspects of SEO. Having launched the web design business in 1996 before expanding to add SEO in 2001, the company has an established presence backed up by a solid track record for using an agile methodology that reflects the evolving landscape to deliver consistent results.
Partners and integrations include WordPress, PayPal, WooCommerce, and Google Analytics. This allows the SEO company to develop strategies that boost web visibility and brand reputation while keeping consumer habits and experiences in mind at all times. This covers all key components of SEO, with a heavy focus on keywords, backlink placements, and technical crawlability.
This creates a defined four-step process to Attract, Impress, Convert, and Grow.
Speak, also known as MadeBySpeak.com, focuses on design and technology to drive brands throughout Nashville to increase traffic, trust, and conversions. Over the course of its 21-year history, the company has helped communicate the brand message of over 500 companies. And it continues to deliver strong returns in 2020.
Among those 500+ clients are Graceland, Omaha Zoo, Lyon College, and a plethora of local, national, and international companies across multiple industries. As a company with over 40 members of staff, they do branch out into other areas for a comprehensive approach to branding and marketing. This can work wonders for startups while also allowing them to borrow elements from each aspect.
For example, the on-site SEO and backlinks placements can be supported by mobile App creation and video production. Nonetheless, the local SEO strategies continue to focus primarily on technical SEO, business listings management, and authority management.
Speak thrives on engagement rather than just visibility, which can support your bid for growth.
Given that the company has actively educated over 4,000 SEO enthusiasts through their local SEO master sessions, it could easily be argued that 2 The Top has done more for Nashville’s collective digital presence than any other company on the list. Still, it’s only enough to secure the #5 position on our list of best SEO companies in Nashville for 2020.
Having opened its doors in 1997, 2 The Top delivers what it promotes. Over the course of 23 years, the company has developed and perfected its A.C.E (Architecture, Content, and Engagement) strategy. Is it honestly as groundbreaking as the company would like to suggest? Probably not. But that should not detract from the fact that it gets results. Naturally, their professional touch is built to surpass the results gained from their students, enabling your website to climb the charts quickly.
A focus on localized results includes business directory listings management and appearing prominently on the Google Maps section of searches. The Essentials package, which covers the A.C.E strategy, also includes an audit followed by expert insights to highlight areas of improvement.
Web design and marketing strategies offer additional opportunities without compromising the capabilities of the SEO strategies.
SnapShot Interactive can consider itself a little unlucky to feature in the bottom half of this list, especially as it joins the two SEO companies above on 21 points. An impressive home back that incorporates a video background instantly creates the impression that this is a truly interactive and innovative company. While some of their best work is seen in other areas, their SEO game is still strong.
The SEO agency has worked for the likes of Belmont University, David Adams, and CrossFit ProVita. Their SEO endeavors fall under a package known as Search. It covers Competitive Analysis, SEO, SEM, Analytics, and Social Advertising. The company promises to work “continuously to achieve the highest measurable results”, which means retaining the boosted status for years to come.
SnapShot Interactive is quick to promote the need for a fluid and ongoing SEO strategy, rather than being something that can be ticked off as ‘done’. While this does require a long-term commitment, the continued content and off-page SEO strategies, including review generation, are built to establish sustained results for your brand.
While SnapShot provides a robust SEO-only strategy, we’d argue that it is best matched to businesses looking for a comprehensive rebrand.
It’s probably not going to win any awards for the most imaginatively named business on the market, but the Nashville SEO Company naturally ranks very highly for a host of localized SEO terms. It’s actually called SharpNet, but the domain name makes a lot of sense. This alone should provide a huge sense of confidence. After all, it would be a little naive to trust a business with your web presence if they cannot even take care of their own.
Nashville SEO Co. specializes in its industry-leading SEO, certified AdWords management, and SEO-friendly web design. Compared to some services, it is a more streamlined approach to digital marketing. However, for any company that simply wants to climb the SERPs, this can be positive. The experienced team of SEO professionals has supported companies of varying sizes and sectors for over 22 years. They are also vastly experienced in both local and organic SEO.
Following an audit, the Nashville SEO Company can identify keyword opportunities while creating citations for use on over 225 directories, including dozens of Tennessee-based ones. Technical SEO that extends to page speeds, as well as mobile optimization, is supported further by a transparent communication.
The Nashville SEO Company delivers quick progress for sustained success in the local arena. While its services are somewhat limited, measurable upgrades to traffic and conversions are clear.
MedForward, Inc. is an SEO, web design, and digital marketing agency that is dedicated solely to companies working in the healthcare sector. The company’s vision is to deliver “premier medical marketing consulting services”, with a focus on gaining website visibility and driving traffic in an organic manner.
The SEO agency has worked with several hospitals and healthcare businesses in the local area. A unique approach is underpinned by core values that revolve around quality and collaboration. The company’s multi-tiered approach to SEO covers ranked keywords, inbound links, and (crucially) press release creation and distribution. The agency works with both Google and Bing analytics and toolkits.
MedForward, Inc. also works with integrations like RealSelf while also registering the site with healthcare directories. When supported by the highly focused management on industry and local trends, climbing the SERPs and Google Maps listings for medical keywords becomes a lot easier. It’s not very useful to outside companies, but healthcare firms can see huge rewards.
Given its targeted audience, we can put it any higher than #8 on the list. If yours is a medical firm, though, it’s certainly a great candidate.
While primarily a web design agency, Timeline‘s SEO services remain among the best in the city of Nashville and can be tailored to organic or local traffic generation. A varied portfolio covers Timeline Beauty Center, Sid’s Cycles, and Topline Gutters among many, many others. It shows a versatility that should give your SME confidence in a service that has operated for several years.
Timeline works to promote web visibility across Google, Bing, Yahoo, and YouTube. The company also demonstrates a desire to satisfy visitors as well as search engine crawlers. Essentially, it creates on-page content that adds value and information while simultaneously scoping out opportunities for keyword placements and other positive steps.
The SEO agency is very transparent, not least in informing clients that instant results are not likely. It takes a few months for true progress to show. Nonetheless, the strategies put in place can fire a website onto the first page of the SERPs. Crucially, brands can expect to stay there due to ongoing strategies and the use of exclusively white hat ideas.
Timeline focuses on getting your house in order with an on-site design feature first. Backlinks and off-site SEO follows.
Finally, rounding off our list of the 10 best SEO companies in Nashville is Astute Communications. Alongside Social Media and Advertising elements, the company’s Engage strategies focus on SEO. The results-driven agency focuses on satisfying over 200 search engine metrics to provide a holistic approach to web visibility. And it works well.
The company starts campaigns with an SEO audit while also providing clients with insights on how SEO works. In truth, though, you just want results. While Astute takes the long route, there’s no doubt that the measurable progress provides a source of smiles. Their extensive expertise in technical, content, off-site, and on-site SEO will lift the company’s ranking.
Aerial Innovations, the Nashville Recovery Center, and Vintage Millworks are just some of the beneficiaries in an eclectic mix of companies to choose the Astute route to SEO. As a Google Partner, the SEO company knows what works in 2020, and is focused on driving organic traffic that converts to sales.
While the majority of clients use a comprehensive package, SEO-only plans are possible too. Either way, Astute remains an exciting opportunity for brands throughout Nashville and beyond.

Our final entry on the Top 10 Albuquerque SEO Companies list, Digital Harvest is an award-winning agency, providing a range of digital marketing solutions for businesses with growth in mind.
Founder Avram Gonzales began his digital marketing career in 2009 and his rise since has been nothing short of meteoric. They say that failure is the greatest teacher, and when Gonzales’ family dry cleaning business in Boulder CO filed for bankruptcy, it truly hit home how pivotal digital marketing is to brand success. Even if every other aspect of your operations is firing on all cylinders.

You may be wondering how we rank the best SEO companies in Albuquerque. Needless to say, we can’t just take Google’s word for it. There are several things that we need to consider.
While the company website’s SEO performance is important, they’re not the only metric by which we can gauge their quality. We dug a little deeper, looking at performance analytics alongside other key data such as Google reviews. Our scoring criteria also meant each company must be located in the target city.
We ranked the top companies in Albuquerque using metrics such as:
We gave each of these SEO companies score out of five for each category and ranked them based on this score, with 1st In SEO (aptly) claiming the lead with 23 points, while Sonic SEO was close behind with 22 points.
The final four companies (entries 7-10) all received 14 points each. To rank them appropriately, we ran a tie-breaker scoring system that ranked them from best to worst for their loading speed, number of referring domains, and the total number of Google reviews:
You can take a closer look at our scoring criteria here.
If you’re looking for an SEO agency in Albuquerque, we hope this guide will be a useful starting point. Remember that we’ve based our recommendations on actual data rather than our opinion.
Ultimately, though, the decision lies with you. Browse the websites, take a look at the case studies, get a feel for the company, and submit an inquiry.
Only you know which is best placed to meet your business’ individual SEO goals.

Are you searching for the best SEO companies in Miami? There are many out there, but how do you know which ones will boost your Google rankings and drive more organic traffic to your site?
Lucky for you, we’ve put together a list of the top 10 companies in the area!
This list is completely unbiased, and we haven’t received any payment from companies looking to be put on this list. The rankings were created based on a series of criteria that we explain at the end of this post.
So, strap yourself in and check out the list below:
WEBRIS Agency is a fully bi-lingual company offering SEO services in both English and Spanish. They proudly promote white hat services through their site and can call upon over 50 years of expert experience.
WEBRIS offers a lot of excellent options for your Miami business. They handle various SEO services – both on and off-page. On their site, they claim to offer consistent results for clients, rather than just one month of great results and a dip back down again. The WEBRIS team is also very diverse, with a great blend of technical and creative experts.
During our research, we found that they came out on top in just about every single category. The only one they came second in was the Domain Rating, but they made up for that with over 1200 reference domains.
Their website dominates the total traffic stat, and most importantly, they have the most Google Reviews. To go alongside this, we found the average Google rating was five stars. That’s as good as it gets, making them well worthy of the top spot in our rankings.
On the Map, Inc. is aptly named as they hope to get your business on the map by improving your web presence through SEO. They provide proven results, as shown by the numerous case studies on their site. You can clearly see they deliver on promises and can get your business to the number one spot.
Again, you get an extensive service that begins with SEO website analysis to find your KPIs. Everything is covered by their team, from keyword research all the way down to customized content and custom reporting.
With over ten years of experience in this industry and multiple awards to their name, this is a fine agency to choose from.
Our rankings criteria found that they competed with the top spot throughout the process. In fact, they were the top-rated website for Domain Rating, earning 75 compared to 66 in second place.
All of their work is done in-house, which helps to avoid any delays for your company. A great feature that we found on the website is that they have sections for common Miami industries. This includes Dentist SEO, Photographer SEO, and so on.
As soon as you visit the website, there’s something you’ll enjoy – an offer for a free website consultation. Who doesn’t like free things, right?
Sergio Aicardi and Jason Hawkins started The Miami SEO Company because they felt the majority of SEO agencies were rip-offs. They’ve grown the business into an impressively sized team with experts in multiple domains – from content writing to PPC.
The company is a Google Partner, which gives confidence as you know they’re certified marketing professionals. They offer a complete SEO package tailored to your business, and they can also provide web design services if you need them.
Through our research, we found they performed admirably across most metrics, with a 4.7 average Google rating being the standout. One slight blot on the page was the website taking over three seconds to load, but they still did enough to get third place on our list.
Egochi is a bright and forward-thinking agency that caters to your SEO needs. It’s evident that they know what they’re talking about and go into great detail when discussing SEO ranking factors and techniques.
There’s a full range of digital marketing services available, and the company states that it can make your website visible to your target audience through its Miami SEO service. Every aspect of your site’s SEO is considered, including the ability to correct any existing errors that have been holding you back.
Egochi ranked really highly in the ‘ranks in top 10’ and average Google Reviews rating categories. However, their average rating of five-stars should be taken with a pinch of salt as they only had ten reviews.
Regardless, there’s a lot to like about this company, and we noticed how they let you set your budget and build a service around it.
Another Miami SEO company with a somewhat whacky name. Wegacha is a relatively young agency that offers a selection of different SEO packages. They’ve only been up and running since 2016, but have already taken three different awards in the last two years alone!
Impressive stuff made all the more impressive by the host of strong reviews across multiple platforms. They passed all of our SEO best practice scores with an SSL Certificate, mobile-friendly site, and an under three seconds loading speed.
With Wegacha, they give you a choice. You can choose pre-packaged SEO services at a fixed price, or you can choose from their a-la-carte menu. This choice is great as it provides more options for big and small businesses in the area.
You will find OptFirst in the Miami Shores region, and it’s been in operation since 2001. LinkedIn seems to indicate a small team of around fifteen employees, but this doesn’t mean you get a small-time service.
We were impressed with how well this small business stacked up against some of the bigger ones. The company is full of SEO experts that have been in this industry for decades. The OptFirst methodology follows an eight-step plan to improve your SEO. They outline everything on their site, which gives you some transparency into what they will do for you.
Again, they also let you build your own package based on what you think is most important for your website. They can create one-off campaigns or provide an ongoing service for your business – the choice is yours!
Coming in at number seven, we have the crisp and modern Pacific54. Founded by Avi Cohen, the company has been navigating the SEO field for over ten years. They’ve become Google Partners, have an average review rating of 4.9, and boast a small team that includes two dogs and a cat.
Based in the heart of Wynwood, Miami, they offer a friendly approach to SEO. The smallness of the team means that each client gets dedicated attention all the time. The customer service is great as well, you can use their handy web chat to make inquiries or ask any burning questions online.
The SEO services work based around a simple concept of evaluating and improve. The team promises to study your website and continuously make improvements to help you stand out from the crowd. If you wanted, you could combine SEO with their web development option as well.
Next on the list is Alphametic, who claim to optimize your digital conversion funnels using SEO and a variety of other search marketing exploits. They’ve been featured in some pretty big publications, including Entrepreneur and Inc.
The USP of Alphametic is probably their 90-day SEO makeover service. It sounds like a moderately interesting reality TV show, but it’s actually a quick way of showing how much they can change in just a few months.
While they don’t explicitly name any clients, they do include stats that claim they’ve increased search traffic and visibility by 246% and helped business break 100k website visits per month. So, the stats seem to suggest they know what they’re talking about.
Alphametic was founded by Matthew Capala and has worked with a series of major brands like L’Oreal, Novartis, and Shopkeep. They must have enjoyed a lot of recent success as they’re just moved to a new address in Downtown Miami in the central business district.
The penultimate Miami SEO company on our list is Link2City. They scored 19 points, tying them with the company in tenth place. It’s an agency with a lot of experience, and this is reflected in the sheer number of case studies on the website. They have over 2,000 clients across multiple industries, so they must know what they’re doing.
Danny Sibai started Link2City in 1999, which is a very early time to have an SEO business. As the years have progressed, the company seems to have gone from strength to strength. You’ll notice they have won multiple awards in the last decade, including one for Top SEO Services Company in Miami 2018.
They offer an SEO service with a focus on Google marketing. The team handles all the on and off-page SEO specifics, including a link building campaign. Their website states that clients have seen a 42% bounce rate decrease, an 83% organic traffic increase, and a 38% average visit duration increase through this service.
Rounding off the top 10 SEO companies in Miami is Vortex Communications. Now, they are primarily a web design agency, but they also specialize in SEO services. By combining the two, it can give clients a website that’s built to appeal to search engines right from the start.
They won the Best Branding Agencies in Miami 2019 award, and we found an average rating of five-stars from their 25 Google reviews. Thomas Weinkle is the founder, and this company actually dates all the way back to 1984. It didn’t offer SEO or digital marketing services back then, but it was a full-scale design firm.
From there, it evolved into the agency you see today. It boasts a small yet creative team, and they claim to have provided over 13,000 solutions for happy clients.
The easy way to create a list of the top SEO companies in Miami is to run a Google search and pick the top 10 results! However, we don’t believe the ranking spots of a company tell the full story.
As such, we take lots of different things into account. SEO performance is still very important, but there are deeper website issues and data that need to be considered as well. We spent a lot of time coming up with the ranking criteria, and we settled on the following:
We scored every company out of five for all the different categories. We added them up, ranking them based on the total score. WEBRIS Agency came out on top with 34 points, followed by On the Map Inc. with a very respectable 30 points.
The remaining eight companies all scored between 23 and 19 points. So, there was just as big of a gap between all of them as there was between the top two. If you’re interested in seeing the entire rankings breakdown, then click here.
If you want an SEO agency in Miami, then use this guide to start your search. We’ve done a lot of the groundwork for you, ranking the top ten sites in the area.
