Your Arcata Customers Can't Find You on Google
When someone in Arcata searches for your services, are you showing up? Or is your competitor getting the call?
Invisible in Local Search
When an HSU student searches "pizza near me" or a homeowner searches "plumber Arcata," you don't show up in the map results. Your competitors do.
Arcata Is a Unique Market
College town dynamics, tourist season, local community—Arcata SEO needs to target students, residents, and visitors differently. Generic SEO doesn't work.
Losing Calls Every Day
Every day you're not visible on Google is revenue lost. When a furnace breaks or someone needs emergency service, they search Google—and call whoever shows up first.
How I Help Arcata Businesses Get Found
Google Business Profile Optimization
Complete your Google Business Profile with Arcata-specific information: service areas (Westwood, Sunny Brae, Valley West), local photos, and regular posts about your work in Arcata.
This gets you in the local pack—those top 3 map results—when Arcata customers search.
Hyperlocal Content
Build location pages targeting specific Arcata searches: "plumber near Arcata Plaza," "HVAC Sunny Brae," "electrician Westwood." Each page includes neighborhood-specific content Google rewards.
Generic "Humboldt County" pages don't rank. Arcata-specific content does.
Local Citations
Add your business to Arcata-specific and Humboldt County directories: Chamber of Commerce, local business listings, industry directories. Google trusts businesses it sees everywhere.
More citations = more trust = better rankings.
Review Strategy
Help you systematically collect Google reviews from Arcata customers. Reviews are the #2 ranking factor for local search—and they help you stand out from competitors.
More 5-star reviews = more visibility and more trust.

Why Arcata SEO Requires Local Expertise
College Town Dynamics
HSU students search differently than year-round residents. Your SEO needs to account for student housing searches, seasonal demand changes, and the unique college town economy.
Tourism Seasonality
Arcata sees increased tourism during summer and cannabis harvest season. Restaurants, retail, and hospitality businesses need visibility that matches seasonal search patterns.
Community-Focused Market
Arcata residents value local businesses and community connections. Your SEO should emphasize local ownership, community involvement, and Arcata roots—not just generic service pages.
Geographic Isolation
Arcata is geographically isolated from major metros. That means less competition, faster results, and hyperlocal targeting actually works. You don't need a $5,000 agency—you need someone who understands this market.
Simple, Transparent Pricing
No 12-month minimums. No $5,000+ agency fees. Pay for what you need.
