 And yes, they're completely FREE.

1. Set up a GMB account

Google My Business is a completely FREE service for businesses, and will definitely help you rank better on Google's search results when potential customers go searching for your products or services. It's free and easy to make sure your business information is clearly displayed, and links to your website and or social media platforms are easily accessible. 


2. Get your website analyzed

And yes, that's FREE too. Oostas offers a free website audit report that shows how your website is preforming on search engines. Learn if you're missing anything on the 'technical side' of your website, and see how you're stacking up against your competition. FREE Website Audit Report here.


3. Get more reviews

We all do it. When we're looking to buy something, anything, we want to read reviews. Your customers are no different. The reality is, people are searching for your products/services online, and they want to see reviews. Getting reviews on Google is again, FREE.


4. Keep Learning

If you're interested in learning more about SEO, we've got some great podcasts for you. We've partnered with The How of Business and released several podcasts, 2 of which are on SEO for the small business.


At Oostas, we have something for any sized budget. From free to affordable. Our "affordable" solutions include options ranging from the one-off "just fix my website" plan to the full monthly National SEO plan, and lots in-between. View our SEO plans here.


In a recent monthly email we shared a story of an Oostas SEO client who transitioned much of their online marketing needs from a much larger marketing agency over to Oostas. We were thrilled to land the sale, but knew we had our work cut out for us. We had to prove our services, especially our SEO plan, was going to provide results that truly benefited their business. We got right to work, and were excited for our 6-month client care phone call.


During that phone call, we reviewed the work we had done and the results we were able to produce for the client. They were thrilled, and expressed how pleased they were with the results their SEO plan was getting for their website. If you're ready for the Oostas SEO team to get you some serious online results from your website, give us a call today.
