Pillar Digital Marketing is a phenomenal agency to work with. The knowledge that Pillar provides my company with is beyond expectations. Joe and his team continue to go the extra mile to help my company succeed. They have corrected mistakes that were made in the past, and taken our website to front and center in our area.

Roofing is what I do. I’m not technologically savvy, I didn’t know how to get leads, how to get customers. Pillar took the lead on my marketing, worked through my webpage and each year, it becomes better. They helped me go from a startup, to one of the largest, most highly reviewed roofers in Westchester!

After dealing with a bunch of different companies Joe and Pillar Digital Marketing stood out. Joe has been honest, reliable, and extremely effective since the day we started working together. My business has also grown significantly since he built my new website. I will continue to reccomend Joe to all my family and friends in business.

Before working with Mark and Joe, we didn’t have anything online and always relied on word of mouth. Now, we’re getting more leads each month for our excavation company. It didn’t happen overnight, but a few months after our website was up we started getting calls and leads from our website. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend Pillar. They have been a huge help. Originally used a different company when I first started and wasn’t happy with them. Joe was able to show me multiple errors with my current website and google profile and totally cleaned everything up. If you want someone who actually cares you’re at the right place.

These reports allow you to more easily understand the work we’re doing each month and how it is impacting your local search rankings over time.

We’ll monitor your business and your top competitors so that we can report to Google* any policy violations that competitors are using to gain an unfair advantage in local search rankings. Common violations include:

*We will make our best effort to combat any unfair advantages used by your competitors in violation of Google’s policies and report each instance to Google; we cannot guarantee that Google will take action to suspend or update your competitors’ profiles.

A major factor that impacts your local search rankings is how close the person searching is to your business location.  Local Search Grid tracking is an advanced tool that allows us to drill down to precise locations within the cities you serve to learn how your business is ranking against your competitors. This data allows us to better customize the Local SEO Work that we do on your website and building your online presence. These reports also help you track the impact of Local SEO work over time.

Each month, we’ll allocate a block of time to custom Local SEO work so that you gradually improve your rankings each month. The tasks that we complete fall into 1 of 2 primary categories; On-Site SEO & Off-Site SEO.

Based on your current rankings and your local competitors, we’ll identify which tasks will benefit your business most. You’ll have access to an ongoing log summarizing the tasks that we complete each month so that you never have to wonder if you are getting what you pay for.

On-Site SEO

On-site SEO works to enhance the quality of your website messaging and the experience people have while navigating your website to learn about your business.

Keyword Analysis and Website Optimization: We analyze how your website is performing for popular search phrases using rank tracking reports, Local Search Grid tracking, Google Business Profile (GBP) search queries, and keyword research tools. Then, we fine-tune your content to target the most relevant keywords, helping you gradually and consistently get more customers from Google.

Advanced On-Page SEO: We add special code (schema markup) to your website that helps Google better understand your business. This can make your business stand out more in search results.

User Experience Optimization: We use analytics and conversion tracking to see how visitors interact with your website. Then, we improve your site to make it easier and more enjoyable for potential customers to use, which can help your site rank higher on Google.

New Content Creation and Updates: We write and add new content or update existing content on your current pages, such as blog posts, articles, or service descriptions. We can also embed videos to make your content more engaging. This keeps your site fresh and informative without the need to create or design new pages.

Off-Site SEO

Off-Page SEO focuses on increasing your business’s visibility and credibility across the web. By managing your online presence beyond your website, we help build trust and authority, making it easier for potential customers to find and choose your business. This also helps search engines like Google view your business as more credible, which helps improve your search rankings against your competitors.

Building Online Business Listings: We use Citation Tracker reports and Competitor Analysis to identify new places to list your website online. We create and manage listings on local, national, or industry-specific directories where your competitors are listed, improving your online presence and visibility.

Managing and Updating Listings: We actively manage your business listings by regularly posting updates, adding new projects, and uploading photos. Keeping these profiles up to date ensures they stay fresh and engaging for both search engines and potential customers.

Link Building and Mentions: We work to get your business mentioned on reputable websites, using tools like Help a Reporter, Featured.com, Qwoted, and Connectively. These tools help us secure high-quality mentions and backlinks, which build your domain authority and improve your search rankings.

The Local SEO Audit report is a monthly report to assess how you’re doing in (7) categories which have a significant impact on your overall search rankings. This report is designed to help local business owners easily understand your online presence and how well you are doing compared to your competitors.

The Local SEO Audit makes it easy to identify potential problems so that can follow-up with us, ask questions, and ensure we’re adding value to your marketing.

Using video clips that you send to us, we create (4) 10-30 second videos optimized to post on Google and your social media profiles.

We take the content we create for your Google Business Profile and repurpose it for posting on the social media accounts that best fit your business. That means we resize your images or videos and optimize the written part of the post to fit the social media platform’s guidelines.

Google now allows you to integrate your social media accounts with your Google Business Profile to help engage potential customers and stand out from your competitors. These weekly posts support your overall Local SEO strategy by showing Google your business is active. Plus, potential customers often check your social media to gauge your business’s legitimacy.

Includes FREE profile setup and/or optimization for the social media accounts, and between 4 – 8 posts on each account, each month. The number of posts we make depends on how many new images and video clips you send to us for the month. It also includes responding to up to (2) comments per post.

The purpose of this service is not to generate leads on social media but to give you a strong presence on social media. If you want to build a social media account for lead generation, that would be an additional add-on service.

Each month, we send you a short 5-10 minute video where we walk you through your monthly results and help you understand how the work we’re doing is helping you grow online. Your video debrief report will review:

We will manage and produce content for your blog by researching SEO keywords, analyzing competitors, and creating content clusters to improve visibility and drive traffic. Each article is approximately 500 – 750 characters, or enough characters to satisfy the topic sufficiently.
