We've seen your story before.

You know you need a website for your small business. You’ve been putting it off for years because of [insert excuse here]. But now, you’re ready.

You manage to find a reliable, trustworthy web designer who builds you a beautiful new website at a reasonable price.

Your hot new website launches for the world to see, and you eagerly anticipate the flood of new customers that is sure to come!

But then…

Nothing.

Frustrating, isn’t it? To finally make a real investment into your online presence, only to get zero results in return?

This is the situation that all too many small businesses find themselves in every single day. Owning a beautiful website that gets no traffic and zero new customers.

And you know what? We had the same problem.

So we did something about it.

0 to 27,000 visits every month.

We were super pumped to be doing web design differently. To offer fast and affordable web design for small businesses everywhere. And to do all of it with a level of honesty and transparency rarely seen in the industry.

But we were starting from scratch. And, like literally every other business in the world, wanted to get on the first page of Google ASAP.

The difference is, while others wanted to, we actually did.

And now we’re ready to help you do the same.

How did we do it?

Listen, search engine optimization is hard. The days of keyword-stuffing and link directories are long gone, friends.
For the past 10-15 years, if you wanted to have a shot at getting on the first page of Google, you needed to be producing regular, stellar-quality content on your website.
Writing fantastic blog posts that prioritize the user experience is exactly how we got RapidWebLaunch to rank #1 in Google for some very competitive keywords.
Put simply, we grew our entire SEO agency through nothing but organic traffic. (and some good ol’ fashioned word-of-mouth)
Is it still possible to replicate this success?

But things have changed...

Simply put, AI (artificial intelligence) is changing everything. And fast.

The barrier to entry for creating high quality blog posts has been dramatically lowered. Anyone with a phone can write about anything with the help of AI.

This means that the internet is going to be inundated with content. Your business would need to invest thousands of dollars per month if you want to have a chance at ranking near the top.

Which is why a strategy adjustment is needed.

Here is how we can rank your local business where it really matters. In your community.

David Brooks, the owner of Dakota Trauma Therapy, giving a fine testimonial for the small business digital marketing agency, RapidWebLaunch.

RapidWebLaunch has provided exceptionally effective Search Engine Optimization for us on an ongoing basis.

[We] have moved to, or very near, the top of page one of Google without having to separately purchase keywords for several of our most desired terms including PTSD, EMDR, anxiety, etc.

Our business has grown very significantly over time primarily due to RapidWebLaunch’s search engine optimization (SEO).

Start with a Des Moines SEO audit to find out what is, and isn't working with your website

Before diving headfirst into the vast cornfields of SEO, consider an SEO audit your GPS to success in Des Moines. This isn’t just a casual glance under the hood, folks. We’re talking a deep dive into keyword strategy, on-page optimization, and the nuts and bolts of technical SEO. We’ll examine your backlink profile, scope out the competition with a competitive analysis, and make sure your site architecture doesn’t resemble a maze. Plus, we crunch your analytics like it’s our morning cereal.

On-page Des Moines SEO that Google loves

We’ll turbocharge your website with on-page SEO so sharp, even the cornstalks are jealous. By optimizing your title tags, meta descriptions, and headings, we ensure Google won’t just pass by like it’s on a casual stroll through the State Fair. With slick internal linking and optimized images, your site’s visibility will be popping more than Iowa popcorn on movie night.

In-depth keyword research that identifies what your Des Moines, Iowa customers are searching for

Keyword research isn’t just poking around in the dark for high-flying phrases; it’s about unlocking the secret language of your Des Moines audience. Find those juicy terms that snag traffic without wrestling with the big-league competitors. Dive deep into searchers’ true desires, and keep a hawk’s eye on which words are bringing in the gold—erm, customers. Trust us, it’s like giving your business a map where X marks the spot of untapped opportunity.

Technical Des Moines SEO that algorithms will devour

Ok, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. Technical SEO is your secret weapon in the online battleground of Des Moines. Imagine your website as a sleek sports car; if the engine’s not humming (that’s site architecture), or it’s slow off the starting line (loading speeds), you’re not winning the race. Add to that a co-pilot who can’t navigate (mobile optimization), doors that won’t lock (website security), and you’re basically inviting your competitors to the podium. We keep your digital ride race-ready, tracking every lap (indexing and monitoring) for peak performance.

Organized citations and listings that prove to Google your Des Moines business is legit

Consistent NAP management is the backbone of ruling the local Des Moines SEO game. It’s not just about sprinkling your business name around; it’s ensuring your name, address, and phone number are uniform across the internet. Think of citations as breadcrumbs that lead customers right to your door—the more accurate and widespread they are, the less likely your customers are to get lost in the digital cornfields of Iowa. Plus, search engines eat up that consistency, potentially boosting your rankings faster than a corn husker at the state fair.

Affordable SEO is relative. But, generally speaking, good SEO doesn't need to cost a fortune. Your ROI should be clear.

They

Would you hire a mechanic that drives a piece of junk? A cleaner with a dirty home? So why hire an SEO expert that doesn't rank?
