Ashland Oregon SEO Services
If you landed here from a search for “ashland oregon seo” or something like that, then I assume that you're local to Ashland, Oregon and you're checking out who manages SEO around here. The answer is: mostly web design agencies or general marketers sell SEO as a side service. At Matrix Rising, SEO is all I do. Below I discuss why real experienced SEO services are valuable to an Ashland business, my SEO background, how we operate, and our services.
Why Go for SEO in Ashland?
SEO usually offers excellent return on investment whether you're a local business or you sell products or services nationally, or beyond.
Sadly, I think the pandemic taught a lot of business owners that online is the best place to get new visitors as opposed to standard marketing methods like local newspaper ads, flyer ads, a TV plug, or even the archaic phone book ads – that just isn’t realistic anymore. Those were fading fast five years ago because we all hate commercials and we avoid ads.
Traditional advertising (outbound marketing) relied on going out and trying to hook people in. But since the Internet took over the world, that just isn’t how things work anymore.
One reasons why I love doing SEO work is because it helps people win by being strategic and thoughtful about user needs. When done right, SEO is the most effective way to build your community audience and grow your Ashland business revenue.
Today, almost all potential customers go on their mobile devices, tablets, laptops, and computers. They go to catch news clips, find the latest babble or Facebook wars, gawp at cat and baby pictures, and shop for products and services. A great thing about SEO is that you don’t pay for expensive ads and then wait around for people to stumble upon your ad and get convinced by some cheesy marketing hook.
With great SEO, we connect you with just the right people when they are online searching for exactly what you have to offer. That’s what we refer to as a highly qualified buyer. They found you because they already want what you sell. They searched in Google or another search engine for keywords that you rank for.
For a local business like in Ashland, you can rank well for searches made by local Ashland customers. Instead of blindly tossing ads out and hoping some stick, your business will show up where your clients are actively looking for you.
Who still uses the Yellow Pages?
Sure the phone book does that too, right? Not so much anymore. Hardly anybody uses it today. Since at least 2010, SEO has become a far more effective marketing investment than a phone book ad for most businesses.
Multiple studies have shown that consumers use the Internet first 80% of the time when they need a new service or product. They use the printed Yellow Pages only as a second or third option about 50% of the time. Then even when they do hit the Yellow Pages, your ad has to stand out and grab them – with costly bigger size ads and more color. For that you fork over mucho dinero.
A few businesses may still drive most revenue from the old yellow books like plumbers or attorneys or pizza delivery companies. But even all of those businesses are earning more revenue online every year. For most businesses, though, the phone book is as dead as Elvis. Life without a yellow pages ad may sound scary, but in reality, life without a lot of wasted marketing money is really quite awesome.

How We Operate
Matrix Rising provides a catered strategy for each website. What exactly we do will depend on the site and the services ordered. But in general, we manage SEO analysis and strategy consulting for websites. We also can build websites as needed, and we use a paid search expert as well. While we handle many aspects of SEO, this and some web design are all we cover. What we don't cover is in the next section.
We cover in-depth research, analysis, planning, prioritization, and strategy and we collaborate with our clients. We get you better targeted website traffic based on the best terms that people are searching for related to your products or services.
These are highly qualified leads that are likely to convert into sales. Then we help to ensure that your website converts those visitors into customers. All of our work is "white hat" - safe from Google penalties such as Penguin, Panda, Hummingbird, or Quality Updates. Any links we earn will be from respected sites to help build true authority.
We're easily accessible by phone or email. We have dedicated support to directly take care of any needs you may have. We provide ongoing communication as we work together as a team. We enjoy brainstorming meetings with site owners, and discussing our plans for future actions. SEO always needs ongoing strategy and collaboration to be done extremely well.
We have the tools and we have the experience to build a solid organic ranking foundation for your online business. We convert searchers into visitors to leads, calls, emails, and eventually sales and revenue.
We keep our client load manageable so that we can offer personalized service to each client. We are laser focused on revenue rather than just on rankings or even overall traffic.
We work very hard to be the best Ashland SEO firm available. When you check out SEO agencies, make sure they focus on quality, really understand deep strategy and have a lot of experience testing many SEO techniques. Then you’ll be in good shape.
All SEO companies claim to be the best but they don’t have the credentials to back it up. And a lot of SEO companies focus on getting work done fast or earning quick but shallow wins. That isn’t good SEO work. Hire an SEO that is focused on high quality work, not just quantity or quick wins or dubious linking tactics and you should see a sweet return on your investment.
We make sure your site meets Google's website standards in many respects including speed loading, mobile usability, and validated code. Then we guide you to build out quality content to earn you links from respected sites, outreach via social media and blogging, and build your local Ashland brand with quality linking.
We provide monthly reporting to update you on traffic, key rankings changes, SEO industry updates and recommendations. Our reporting details the work we have completed so that you're crystal clear what you are paying for.
What We Don't Do
We don’t do development work, email marketing, or full social media management (but we do advise and strategize social media).
We don't just handle basic SEO, do cookie-cutter tweaks, or build quick and shady link farm or personal blog network links to artificially prop up your rankings. SEOs that use those kinds of shady methods will kill your rankings in the long term. We don't acquire paid links or artificially generated links in any form. We don't use "spun" content. We don't use any "black hat" tactics - those against Google guidelines.
