Running a small business comes with enough challenges. Finding new clients online should not be one of them.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving your digital presence so your ideal customers can find you at the exact moment they are searching. At Succeeding Small, we specialize in small business SEO services, helping dentists, attorneys, contractors, and entrepreneurs rank for phrases like “dentist in Colorado Springs” or “family law attorney near me.”
Unlike big-box SEO companies, we focus exclusively on small businesses. With us as your guide, you get a proven strategy, a dedicated team, and the visibility you need to grow.
Imagine if your dream client walked in today, ready to hire you. That is the power of SEO.
Our mission is to help you attract not just any traffic, but the right traffic. By targeting keywords that match buyer intent, optimizing your website experience, and aligning strategies with your goals, we turn website visitors into qualified leads who are ready to do business with you.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is about more than ranking higher. It is about creating a dependable pipeline of new customers and competing with larger companies in your industry.
Here is what SEO can do for you:
Without SEO, your business risks invisibility online. With SEO, you become the obvious choice when customers are searching.

Technical SEO involves optimizing the infrastructure of your website so it can be more easily crawled and indexed by search engines. Page speed, URL structure, schema, sitemaps, site navigation, all of these technical components require optimization for peak performance.
On-Page SEO involves the optimization of page-specific elements such as HTML source codes, headings, title tags, content, keywords, and internal links. Using special tools, Succeeding Small can make the appropriate adjustments to ensure search visibility and traffic.
Off-Page SEO involves all of the activities you engage in outside your website to increase site rankings. Some off-page SEO examples include acquiring backlinks and promoting linkable assets for social media engagement.
Backlinks represent votes of quality from other sites endorsing the quality or usefulness of your content. Establishing a solid backlink profile will help improve your website's relevance and domain authority, and make it easier for you to rank pages on your site overall. This is why a strategy for acquiring quality link placements is so vital.
Domain Authority is a ranking developed by platforms such as Semrush, Ahrefs, or Moz, to determine how strong a site's backlink profile might be. Some say it's a vanity metric, as there are some methods to trick the ranking, but generally speaking, the higher a site's Domain Authority (or Domain Ranking) the easier it is for content on the site to rank. Backlinks from higher DR sites tend to contribute more authority to a site than backlinks from low DR sites.
Yes, we will! Depending on which kinds of search terms you're trying to boost in relevance, we will optimize all related and supporting content. Making sure your site thoroughly covers the topics of interest will make you appear more authoritative and increase your search visibility.
It depends on the current state of your website before it falls under our management. It tends to take longer for new sites to rank for their targeted keywords than those that have existed for a few years. However, some businesses will only require a few adjustments before they start seeing results. Constant changes to search engine algorithms make it difficult to give a blanket answer. However, usually after taking the steps to implement all the principles of quality SEO, you should see some results after two to three months.
As soon as keywords on your site are ranking in the top three of the organic search engine results, you should get quality traffic to your site that will convert into customers.
Using Semrush, we can scan all of the pages on your website to check for possible errors and problems. After a thorough scan, the tool provides an overall SEO health score, flags possible issues, and provides possible solutions on how to correct any issues. At Succeeding Small, we check your site frequently to correct possible errors that might be holding it back from running at its fullest potential. Using this tool, we can discover the root of any problem and resolve any obstructions that might be hindering your site’s performance.
Google assesses various signals when deciding whether your site is relevant or not for a given keyword. Meta tags are text snippets that describe a page's content. They don't appear on the page itself, but only in the source code. Meta descriptions are small blurbs that appear under your website title in the search engine results pages that details what kind of information can be found on your page. At Succeeding Small, we make sure both of these items are optimized for any target keywords you are looking to rank for.
When examining the search results on Google, you might have noticed there are two different types of display results: pay-per-click (PPC) and organic results. PPC requires marketers to build campaigns utilizing certain keywords, set a daily budget, and pay a maximum cost per click. You pay every time someone clicks on your ad, and your ads continue to show until your budget runs out.
SEO, on the other hand, gets you more cost-effective clicks. When you're ranking at the top of the search engine results pages for your target keywords, you don't have to worry about ad campaigns. If you can maintain your position, you have the benefit of driving traffic without having to pay for advertisements. A recent study from GroupM UK and Nielsen has shown that over 94 percent of total search engine clicks go to organic search results. People naturally tend to trust organic results over ads.
SEO is an incredible way to get visibility online for your small business, that way you can stop hunting for clients and chasing leads. Instead, those same customers come straight to you, allowing you to grow your business. With us as your small business online marketing agency, you will have a trusted SEO consultant that you can count on. We provide integrity-filled services to create quality digital assets and long-term visibility for your company. Ready to get more customers online?
