SEO built into the foundation, not bolted on.
Technical, on-page, local, content, and conversion SEO — designed into your website from day one. We focus on durable fundamentals rather than short-lived tactics: clean architecture, fast performance, accurate structured data, real local relevance, and content aligned with what your customers actually search for.
Premium SEO, without the agency dance.
Most SEO agencies sell ongoing reports. We sell fixes. Audit, prioritize, ship — then measure. Here's what every Lumen SEO engagement is built on.
Built in, not bolted on
SEO is part of how the site is structured — not an afterthought you pay for monthly. The foundation does the heavy lifting.
Local relevance over tricks
We optimize for the city, neighborhood, and service-area searches that actually bring you ready-to-buy customers.
Real numbers, real fixes
Every audit ends with a written, prioritized fix list — not a 200-page report you have to translate.
Flexible ongoing service options
You retain ownership of your business content, domain, and approved deliverables, subject to applicable third-party licenses.
Six pieces. One coherent SEO foundation.
Take what you need. Most clients start with the audit, then we prioritize the technical and on-page fixes that offer the clearest early opportunities.

Four steps. Clear scope and a defined finish.
A clear engagement with a defined start, scope, and finish. After the defined measurement window, you decide what's next.
Audit
Technical, on-page, local, and content review. You get a written report ranked by impact, not jargon.
Plan
A fixed-scope proposal for what to fix, why, and in what order. No retainers, no surprises.
Implement
We rewrite, restructure, and ship the changes. Implementation timing depends on the audit findings and agreed scope.
Measure
We review rankings, traffic, and lead quality during a defined measurement window, then recommend the next adjustments based on the data.
SEO questions, answered.
Is SEO included when you build a website, or is it separate?
Every site we build includes the SEO foundations — clean structure, fast load times, proper headings, metadata, and a sensible URL and page hierarchy. Ongoing SEO work (content, local signals, and continued optimization) is an optional add-on, not a requirement.
Do you require a monthly SEO retainer?
No. We start with a fixed-scope foundation or audit. If an ongoing program makes sense for your market, it continues only as long as it’s delivering value — with flexible ongoing service options.
Can you improve SEO on my current site, or do I need a rebuild?
If your site is reasonably fast and well-structured, we can improve it in place. If it’s slow or built on a heavy page-builder, a rebuild often delivers a bigger SEO gain — we’ll tell you honestly which path makes sense after a review.
What do I actually receive from an SEO audit?
A written, prioritized fix list covering technical, on-page, local, and content issues — ranked by impact, not a 200-page automated export. You keep it whether or not we do the work.
How do you report on SEO?
We tie reporting to outcomes that matter — rankings for the terms that bring leads, traffic, and conversions — and explain what moved and why in plain language.
Looking for local SEO in a specific city?
This page covers how we approach SEO. If you're a Central Valley business, start with the page built for your market — we tune local SEO city by city, not with generic national keywords.
