Pages that match the search
One page per service and per area you actually serve, each with its own title, headings and proof. Not one page with a list of city names at the bottom.

Start withA free homepage design
Most Orange County businesses do not have an SEO problem. They have a page problem: one generic services page trying to rank for six things in eight cities. Google has no reason to show it for any of them. This is how we sort that out.

Local SEO is the work that gets a business shown when someone nearby searches for what it sells. It has three parts, and skipping one caps the other two.
Google Business Profile
The right categories, services, photos and posts, and the same name, address and phone number everywhere your business is listed.
Technical basics
Speed on a phone, clean indexing, schema markup and internal links so Google can read the site and trust it.
Being cited by AI search
Clear answers, real definitions and structured data so ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers can quote you. See agentic websites.
What we do each month
Not a rankings report. A list of what changed and what it produced.
We start by checking Search Console for the queries you already show up for and the pages losing the click. Those are the cheapest wins, so they go first. After that the work is a rotation: fix or build the next page, update the Business Profile, earn a citation or link, and measure calls and form submissions against the month before.
You get a plain monthly summary of what we changed and what moved. If something we tried did not work, it is in there too. For the full service, see our SEO services.
Where we work in Orange County
We work with businesses across the county, including Irvine, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Santa Ana, Anaheim, Laguna Beach and Fullerton. Where a city has enough search demand to justify it, it gets its own page rather than a name in a list. If you are building or rebuilding the site as well, start with web design in Orange County or web design in Newport Beach.

Monthly summary
You see the work before you commit. We check which pages already earn traffic before touching a live site, keep their URLs, and redirect anything that has to move.
What it costs
It depends on how many services and areas you cover, how competitive they are and what state the site is in now. You get a written quote with the scope itemized after a short call. For the reasoning behind our pricing, read what a website costs in 2026 and website management cost.
Questions Orange County owners ask
How long does local SEO take to work?
Pages that already rank on page two can move within weeks once the title, page type and links are fixed. Starting from nothing takes months. We tell you which of the two you are in after the first review.
Do you guarantee a first-page ranking?
No. Nobody can honestly guarantee a position on Google. We guarantee the work is done and reported, and we measure it against calls and form fills.
Do you also build and manage the website?
Yes. Design, SEO, Google Ads and monthly management come from one team, so nobody is passing blame between vendors.
How long have you been doing this?
The Clay Media was founded in Orange County in 2009 and has built and managed business websites ever since.
