foundational SEO
executed with precision


technical site optimizations, amazing content, and links from real sites


There are a lot of big promises being made around as AI emerges and changes the entire search landscape.

But one thing remains true: SEO best practices aren’t going anywhere, and–in fact!–are the keys to ranking on LLMs.

Our team bring 15+ years of bulletproof technical audits, content so good it not only ranks but is a joy to read, and link building campaigns that’ll get your niche-relevant, authoritative links from real sites.

the engine of your SEO campaigns

The most brilliant SEO campaign is dead on the launch pad if your site isn’t optimized to rank well. We tackle the three most important things that are required if you’re ever going to grow your organic traffic.

Technical Audits

Once we get started, it’ll take about 3 weeks of in-depth research to deliver a highly-actionable, easy-to-understand Google doc that lists out all the changes you/your dev team needs to make.

Unlike agencies and expensive consultants that try and produce a very impressive looking audit that actually says very little, our audits get right to the hearts of

  • what needs to change
  • WHY it needs to change
  • and how to change it

A workbook that your team can implement ranked by priority of most important to least.

We’ll have a call to walk you through the issues and a call when everything has been addressed to make sure it is solid. In most cases clients start to see traffic trends changing within 30-60 days depending on the issues. 1

Content That Ranks

Whether you need AI-generated content with a soul or high-level human-written content that can rival any big media site on the internet, we can make it happen.

Our proprietary AI-creation process matches your site’s voice and can be used to create deep topical authority. Used alongside human-written pillar posts and content created to engage + entertain (instead of just ranking) produces a comprehensive content strategy that can stand up to Google updates.

We will work with you to produce a content map that compliments your site, and either create the content ourselves or work with your existing team to help them publish content that does a lot of heavy lifting.

Building Links That Matter

One of the most important, and most fraught SEO tasks, we excel at building powerful links that move the needle.

Just as there are different roles different kinds of content can play in helping your site rank long term, so there are different roles links can play.

We work within that nuance, not just getting you any link on a site that builds links to anyone that pays them $200, but building links on sites with real authority, with lots of real traffic, that are real hard to get linked from.

Our high-touch, white-glove outreach team does what it takes to build these rare backlinks–think more “doing the research and getting in touch with a relevant pitch” rather than “trying to email every site on the planet with a shitty email template they picked up from an SEO forum in 2014.”

Ranks is the real deal. Sean and his team are more than just an SEO agency; they’re genuine strategic partners. They helped us identify critical gaps in our content and optimized key pages that drove tangible results for Castos. They’re a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend them.
