Do I need a redesign before starting SEO?

Not necessarily. I review the existing platform, content, search access, and customer journeys first. Targeted corrections may be enough. A rebuild makes sense when the existing structure or technology prevents the improvements the business needs.

How much will the work cost?

The investment follows the agreed scope. Page count, content readiness, integrations, migration needs, and ongoing responsibilities all affect it. After reviewing your goals and current website, I provide a recommendation and scope before work begins.

Do you work directly with clients?

Yes. You work directly with Chris Hill on strategy and implementation. I am based in Reno and serve Sparks, Carson City, Lake Tahoe, and Northern Nevada, as well as remote clients across the United States.

Can you work with our current website provider or marketing team?

Yes. An engagement can focus on analysis, content, search, or implementation alongside an existing team. We establish ownership, approval responsibilities, and access before making changes.

How do we know whether the work is helping?

We agree on measures appropriate to the goal and verify the tracking first. Search visibility, relevant landing-page traffic, successful inquiries, and lead quality provide different evidence. A phone-link click is not a completed call, and more visits alone do not establish business growth.

What should I bring to the first conversation?

Bring your website address, the business problem you want to solve, your main services and service areas, and any deadlines. Existing analytics, examples of customer questions, and information about your platform are helpful, but you do not need all the answers to begin.

Recent projects show how customer needs, business operations, and search data shape my recommendations.

Sierra Pallet: a Reno commercial supplier

For Sierra Pallet’s redesign, I organized products, broker support, and buyback services around commercial buying needs. A short quote form prompts buyers for quantity, timing, location, and other useful details.

The launched site combines clearer content and navigation with mobile PageSpeed performance scores of 98–100 and confirmed inquiry delivery. See the Sierra Pallet redesign and results.

Humboldt Moving & Storage

A recent redesign for a regional moving and storage company brought services, locations, and moving guides together in WordPress. The content distinguishes a physical office from an area served and clarifies the scope of the Reno/Sparks operation.

The content plan draws on the company’s existing search data and actual service coverage.

Explore the Humboldt Moving & Storage case study.

A Northern Nevada healthcare practice

An audit of an existing practice website showed that discovery, patient navigation, and inquiry measurement needed to be considered together. I prioritized valuable old URLs, new-patient pathways, and meaningful measurement before recommending more content.

The resulting plan focuses on improving the existing site and establishing reliable inquiry measurement.

The right scope.
A clear investment.

A focused local-business website and a complex redesign need different plans. You receive a defined scope and price before work begins.

The $1,500 one-page website package includes one HTML marketing page, a supporting Privacy Policy page, copywriting, SEO foundations, a contact form, and launch. Larger websites and redesigns are quoted around their content, functionality, integrations, and migration needs.

SEO engagements are priced around the research, content, implementation, and reporting involved. A paid audit has a defined review scope; implementing its recommendations can be a separate project.

Website care is priced around your platform and support needs. The proposal specifies included work, request handling, and fees. Hosting and third-party costs are separate and identified before work begins.
