SEO

“Buyers find us on Google.”

It is the request CESSON has heard most since 2005. SEO is how we work toward it: the rankings, the local map, your reviews, and what Google shows when someone looks you up by name. Being named by AI assistants is its own service, AI Search, and the two run together.

What’s included

The work, line by line

✓
The searches your buyers make
We map what a buyer types into Google before hiring a company like yours, which of those searches you’re absent from today, and who shows up instead.
✓
A site Google can read
Technical SEO: crawling, indexing, speed, redirects, canonicals and the sitemap, fixed so Google finds every page you want found and none you don’t.
✓
Pages that answer the question
Service pages and articles written to answer a buyer’s search plainly enough to rank, with video where it helps.
✓
Local search and the map
Your Google Business Profile completed and kept current: hours, prices, photos, reviews and the booking link, so you appear in the map results buyers call from.
✓
Reviews and reputation
The reviews, the knowledge panel and the results for your own name, watched monthly and worked on when something is wrong.
✓
A monthly report in plain words
Rankings, clicks, calls and booked conversations, taken from your own analytics, with what moved and why.

What clients say

“About maybe a month ago I received the first phone call from a potential client; they found us on the web and said “can you help us?”… we wouldn’t have been found like this in the past. I know it’s because of the fine work CESSON folks did.”

Questions we hear

Before you book

Three things. Philippe Cesson answers for the work by name. The report shows leads and revenue from your own data, in plain words. And the same work also aims to get you named by AI assistants. If you already have all three, stay where you are.
Technical fixes and the Google Business Profile show within weeks. Rankings build over months, which is why an engagement starts at six months, with a checkpoint at 90 days, and we show you the movement every month rather than promising a date.
The work, in writing, and a monthly report that shows exactly what changed. We don’t promise a position, because Google decides that and it changes every week.
The work overlaps: the same clean site, the same content, the same reputation. Most engagements run both, and both are covered by the one monthly fee.
