It is very rewarding for us to be a part of the long-term growth of our clients. That is why, as a search engine marketing company, our Acute SEO team works so hard to get results.

He jumped in and started making improvements before I even had to ask — that kind of initiative tells you a lot about how much he actually cares. He knows his stuff and brings real enthusiasm to it. People started finding my site faster than I expected and it allowed me to focus on my craft then stress about marketing. If you need someone who's skilled, motivated, and genuinely invested in how things turn out for you on marketing— Derrick is your guy. Highly recommend!

Benjamin M.

I used Derrick and his team at Acute SEO for both of my companies and am beyond thrilled with the results in just a few months. His rates are reasonable, he and his team are the consummate professionals and (the best yet?) he UNDER promises. That's right - he under promised and OVER achieved. So grateful - I hope we work with him for a long time.

Erin L.

1575419953000

Derrick has been an immense help in discovering the difference between the type of SEO strategy and tactics that actually make a difference. SEO can be very confusing, and I could tell an immediate difference from other companies with how Derrick operates. The entire conversation was focused on what we could do specifically for our business, and not on choosing a "blanket SEO package" that will do XYZ first. He was happy to offer advice on SEO that has taken years for him to master at no charge. I would highly recommend!

Alex R.

1573842340000

Diane, thanks again for contacting me with Derrick. He is a wealth of information! I can say with my former experience of being owner/developer of a very successful web-based business once upon a time, he knows his stuff. If I hadn't had that prior experience, it would be nearly impossible to know what he's talking about. His level of abilities and communication are so high, it would be Greek to almost everyone. In this case one would just have to trust and wait to measure results. As you know SEO is not one of those tasks that happen immediately. It takes planning, focus, persistence, up-to-date skill application, organic growth, testing and most of all time.

I'm excited to see how his advice will work for me which ultimately will result in revenue for Chase.

Ryan S.

1571947563000

For years we have struggled with our website and the people that are suppose to be managing it. Derrick created a great new website for us, and has successfully been managing our SEO for the last 6 months. Well worth the money!

Ned R.

1566599655000

Acute SEO was super helpful in getting me setup and running. They have stellar customer service and brilliant ideas that have helped my business to flourish in a matter of days once everything went live. I can’t thank them enough for the excellent help and support I receive.

Tamra B.

1564519954000

Derrick took our website from a level 1 on ranking and domain authority and quickly bumped those numbers up, causing us to rank on the first page of google for many of our desired search phrases. He’s always quick to respond to my emails and gives me monthly updates on performance.

Alex F.

1561001719000

I engaged Acute SEO to increase my business presence on the internet. They immediately exceeded all of my expectations and continue to to so in what has become one of the most important business relationships of my law practice. I can't recommend Acute SEO highly enough.

Leslie S.

1560875832000

In one phone call consultation I got more value thrown at me than I’ve ever gotten before. I strongly urge you to at the very least schedule a phone consultation with Acute. Your website deserves it!

Andrew D.

1553287223000

Derrick and the Acute SEO team are professional, hardworking, and good at what they do! Two days after signing our contract our company

Elizabeth H.

1543954944000

AcuteSEO works hard and thinks outside of the SEO box to generate results that few others can do. In today's world where everyone is throwing money down a hole, AcuteSEO works smarter so your dollars matter.

1535733848000

Working with Acute SEO has been one of the greatest things I have done in my entrepreneurial life! Derrick has helped my so much in my web design, and SEO rankings, I can not wait to start a facebook and instagram campaign in the upcoming months to see what kind of positive result we get in the upcoming year! 10/10 would highly recommend.

Rockford Local SEO: Dominating Google Maps in the Forest City

Frequently Asked
Questions

We understand that search engine optimization can be complicated. Please review our Frequently Asked Questions so that you can have a better understanding of how we can help.

What are website directories in the context of SEO?

Website directories, often referred to as web citations, are online listings where businesses can register their details. Examples include Google My Business, Yelp, and MapQuest.

How do website directories help with Local SEO?

Listing your business on website directories can increase its visibility to local customers. When your business details are consistent across various directories, it boosts your credibility and relevance in local search results.

Are all website directories equally beneficial for Local SEO?

No, some directories are more authoritative and widely recognized than others. Platforms like Google Business Profile, Yelp, and Bing Places are particularly impactful for local search visibility.

Why is it essential to maintain consistency across different web citations?

Inconsistencies in business information across various directories can confuse search engines and users. Consistent listings help in building trust and can improve your ranking in local search results.

Do I need to pay to be listed on these directories?

While many directories offer free listings, some might charge for premium features or enhanced visibility. It’s essential to assess the potential return on investment before opting for paid listings.

Can negative reviews on web citations like Yelp impact my Local SEO?

Yes, online reviews play a significant role in local SEO. While a few negative reviews might not harm if they are outweighed by positive feedback, a pattern of negative reviews can affect your search rankings and overall online reputation.

How often should I update my business information on these directories?

You should update your listing whenever there’s a change in your business details, such as address, phone number, or services. Regular audits of your listings can also ensure accuracy and consistency.

What is the significance of adding images or videos to my directory listings?

Visuals can enhance your profile’s appeal, providing a clearer picture of your offerings. Platforms like Google My Business give priority to listings with quality images, which can boost your local search visibility.

Do website directories help in building backlinks for SEO?

Yes, many directories provide a link back to your website. While not all these links carry significant SEO weight, they can contribute to your site’s overall backlink profile.

Can I manage multiple business locations on these directories?

Most reputable directories, like Google Business Profile (GBP), allow businesses to manage multiple locations. It’s essential to create separate listings for each site to ensure local search accuracy.
