SEO that works:

Built to fit your small to midsize business.

Today’s search optimization is all about meeting the expectations of searchers & site users: the real people (and bots) searching for and interacting with your site. While the search landscape has evolved around the adoption of AI, here’s what’s stayed constant: a user-first SEO strategy is #1 for long-term success.

Backed by 15+ years in day-to-day experience with WordPress, Squarespace, Wix and e-commerce platforms like Shopify, our starting relationship with every new client is a platform-specific onsite/offsite package that’s tailored around your needs, boosts brand visibility, and delivers immediate proof of value – while also helping you understand SEO in general.
+ Q: Why Is Project-Based SEO the Best Initial Fit?

A: Our ‘step 1’ package not only contains ALL immediate onsite/offsite priorities for any site situation in a 6-7 week scope of work, it includes expert implementation that leverages the specific strengths of your web platform.

While search optimization is an ongoing effort, the heavy lifting is always at the beginning — especially to get over technical hurdles or get a new site off the ground in organic search. From here, next steps involve content creation, offsite efforts (blogger outreach, for ex.) and more intensive onsite work (like around reviews/testimonials or other E.E.A.T signals).

+ Q: How Can Your Approach Fit My Business through the Long Term?

A: Backed by 15+ years in everyday experience with WordPress, Squarespace, Webflow, Wix – and leading e-commerce platforms including Shopify & BigCommerce – our starting relationship with every new client is a platform-specific onsite/offsite SEO package that’s tailored around your specific needs, boosts brand visibility & authority, and delivers immediate proof of value to justify your SEO investment.

Importantly, this also allows us to show you what an ongoing SEO partnership should look like, and we’ll outline how to build from there based on success.

It just makes better sense: we want to give you as much value as possible in a contained, low-risk package format first in order to earn your long term business!

Publishing one page on a topic doesn't make you an authority. Covering it thoroughly (the content "cluster") does.

Breadcrumbs feel like a small UX detail. They're not: they're a #structuralSEO signal.

They tell Google (and now LLMs) exactly where a page sits in your site's hierarchy.

I’ve worked with Nate on three projects and we’ve gotten great results each time.

Best of all, rankings, inquiries, and conversions are up on every site. So happy to have Path Digital on the team!

Psychology Practice Wix Project: SEO Consulting + Implementation (returning client)

Nate was incredibly energetic and proactive on my project, and was able to optimize my SEO to the first page of Google in very little time. He was always happy to answer questions and would often do screenshots and diagrams for me to help understand what he was doing. He had a positive attitude and was prompt in responding to my messages. A++ would hire again in a New York Minute.
