SEO Company for Boston, Massachusetts
Grow your business through Google with Sebo Marketing
If we can rank well for the keyword you used to find us,
imagine what we can do for you!
We’re not based in Boston, but we rank so well you found us! We hope this helps prove to you that we can also get you great results as well. There are a lot of reasons our clients in Massachusetts love working with Sebo Marketing. Here are 3 big reasons, but many more are presented further down.
GET A MANAGER YOU CAN ALWAYS REACH
Some companies don’t have account managers, others have too many clients per manager, or who don’t actually work on the accounts themselves. We don’t like any of those ideas. Every client that comes to us will get a dedicated manager who will come to know your business & goals personally and who you can always reach.
GET RESULTS THAT FOCUS ON ROI
We know that what matters to you most is ROI: is google marketing actually growing your business? To that end, all of our efforts & reporting revolve around showing you how we are doing that. As your partner, this is what we focus the most on, more than just keyword rankings or traffic.
PAY FOR WORK MONTH-TO-MONTH
We love the idea that if we are doing our job well, it will show in the results & you will choose to stay with us for a long time. Choosing to stay has always seemed better to us than the usual “stuck in a contract” model. We’ve been around 15 years, and our average clients stay with us 4-5 years.
Why Choose Sebo Marketing as Your SEO Company?
What makes Sebo Marketing a great choice for your SEO marketing? We see this as a true partnership. Your success is our success.
At the end of the day, you matter most – you and our relationship with you. You will always be able to reach us. You will always be able to know exactly what we’re doing and exactly how it is helping. When it’s going well, you’ll know exactly how well. When challenges happen (and they always do), we bring them up openly & honestly with you. You will realize very early on from our conversations that we are that company you can trust to truly be your partner. And because of this, you will see your business grow. Below are more aspects of Sebo that we’re very proud of, and are very important to consider when hiring any SEO company.
We believe that if we are doing our job well, you will choose to stay with us for a very long time. As a result, we have clients that are still with us 10+ years later. The results are good, and more importantly, the relationship & trust between us is strong. In an industry where turnover can easily be 3-6 months, and where many SEO agencies require a minimum of a 6-month or 1-year contract, our month-to-month model results in our average client staying with us for 4-5 years by choice.
And when clients leave, it’s most often not because they were dissatisfied. It’s because they grew extremely well, and were faced with important business decisions: bringing SEO in-house, being successfully acquired by a much bigger company, etc. And even then, the client often asks us to be heavily involved with the transition.
While we’re always a little sad to see them go, as a true partner, this is some of the best news we could ever hear – it means their business is a success & growing!
One of the most important things to us at Sebo is that our services are highly personalized. To that end, every client that comes to us will have a dedicated manager that knows you, your business, your concerns & goals, all on a personal level. We seek to become both your friend and a true partner you trust. Anything you might need, just email or call your account manager, and they will always be promptly available.
Some SEO companies don’t have account managers. We don’t like that idea, because we don’t like clients feeling like they are being juggled or always having to explain themselves to someone new.
Many large SEO companies have account managers that have 50+ clients per manager. We also don’t like this idea. In our opinion: at that level, it’s not longer personal. It’s too many relationships & nuances for one person to manage effectively. Plus, often in those scenarios, the account manager doesn’t physically work on the account itself – they are just a face for the client and end up just parroting what other people have told them. At Sebo, our typical account manager has only 10-20 clients. This means they have more time to focus on you and your account rather than struggling to divide their attention between so many.
This is, in essence, the same as the above section (pasted below for your convenience). Basically, we want you to know that we’re focused on you, and not juggling too many things and doing none of them effectively.

We know that what matters to you is simple: will Google marketing help my business grow?
The answer is, it definitely should. And all our reporting should (and does) ultimately focus on the ROI being provided. Does $1 in equal $3 back? Does paying $1,000 to us for marketing each month grow my business by MORE than $1,000? Etc.
Frankly, too many companies just talk jargon to their clients, or focus on metrics that don’t matter, or focus too much on just: “your rankings improved” or “you got more traffic”. We focus on “you got this many new customers” because that’s bottom-line what matters.
Unfortunately, online marketing as an industry is notorious for holding businesses hostage in some way or other. Contracts are 1-year+. Companies will do marketing for you (give you a domain name, build you a website, set up tracking data or ads accounts, etc.), but when you leave – they reveal that they own everything and if you leave, they won’t give it to you.
This is so wrong. It happens, and legally it’s often in their fine print, but it is so wrong. This is not the partner you’re looking for.
At Sebo, we believe in being your true partner. We trust each other to be transparent about everything. Our goal is the same: to grow your business and reach your goals. Everything we do for you, you own. It is as easy as that (and should be for EVERY company). We strive to give you admin access to everything from the get-go. If you ever leave us, we will help you or your new company get access to everything. If even for some reason, years later, you find you’ve lost access to something, we will still be here to help – we won’t have access to it anymore, but we can probably still help you get it.
This is the concept of a “generalist” vs. a “specialist” and the common adage “jack of all trades, master of none”.
There are pro’s and con’s to both.
To be succinct, using a “generalist” has the benefit of having a single point of contact to do many different marketing initiatives moderately well. A “specialist” has the benefit of much more experience in their specific field & being able to potentially generate much more incredible results.
Sebo Marketing hyper specializes on Google Marketing. It’s all we do. That means we don’t offer social media, email marketing, etc. But if you need Google Marketing – which is extremely important for most businesses – when it comes to understanding how Google works and leveraging the platform to generate more business, we are exceptional at this.
It’s also important for clients to realize that you don’t have to choose just one or the other. In fact, the best scenario is often when a “generalist” is hired (in-house or 3rd party) as the marketing manager, and “specialists” are hired as part of their team. Bottom-line: you can hire both a “generalist” and then also hire a “specialist” and have them work together to get even better results.
Google constantly seeks out companies it can partner with to both improve its own services as well as the results of the clients who use them. There are two main designations of partners, and each level is very different in the support provided from Google.
Google Partner. This designation simply means you manage at least $20,000 every 90 days in Ad Spend, have accounts that follow 70% of Google’s recommendations (mind you, what Google suggests isn’t always the right move), and have passed a few official Google exams showing you understand the fundamental best practices of Google Ads. This is easy to earn, and nearly every reputable Google Ad agency should have this designation. There may be approximately 15,000+ of these agencies worldwide.
Google Premier Partner. This designation is a much more personal partnership with Google. It is reserved for the Top 3% of Google Partners each year. By our earlier estimation, if there are 15,000+ Google Partners worldwide, there are only 450 Google Premier Partners worldwide. According to Google, “We select Premier Google Partners based on a number of factors, including but not limited to: annual Ads spend across managed accounts, client growth, client retention, and other information. Evaluation is done on an annual basis.”
Additionally, there are unofficial Google Partner status designations, such as Google Managed Agencies and Google Partner All Stars, to name a few. Google reveals little about these programs publicly, however those select few agencies fortunate enough to earn such a designation are often invited to Google HQ for special summits, thinktanks, and events.
Sebo is fortunate to call itself one of the few Google Premier Partners and Google Managed Agencies in the world. And for this, Google works very intimately with us. Google has two teams allocated to work with our specific agency to improve our clients’ accounts.
Our biggest goal has ever been to become a true partner with our clients.
What does that mean?
It means viewing you as more than just a client, x-dollars in revenue to us or x-hours of legwork we need to do. It means viewing your company & ours as one team with one goal: how do we improve your business?
True partners don’t always agree. But they do always talk and seek to achieve their common goal. To that end, we see you as the experts in your field and hope you see us as the experts in ours. We seek to adopt your goals as our own. We see your input as an invaluable resource. We seek to become your trusted consultants & friends. This means being completely transparent and encouraging extremely open communication. We’ll always tell things to you straight – if something is going well, not well, or if we disagree with certain things. Should we ever disagree, we’ll let you know so you can make a final, informed decision.
That’s the kind of relationship we seek to build with our clients.
In general, should you ever need Sebo Marketing for help with anything, you’ll find we try to be most accommodating.
You’ll always be able to reach someone at Sebo Marketing. Most likely, it will be your account manager (if they happen to not be available, someone else will be). Your account manager will very likely become a close friend and partner of yours. When you have ideas or questions, they are promptly available through phone call or email. They will get to know you & your business extremely well.
We find that being good people makes for good business.
We very much believe in transparency & open communication. At all times, we want you to be able to know what’s going on, and to be able to see what we are doing.
Our reports can be tailored to what you wish to see, are available 24/7 and are updated in real-time.
We encourage questions and believe you should be able to receive real, direct answers (not the gobbledygook jargon ones other companies may give). We will always tell things to you straight – the good, the bad, etc. Why? Because we’re partners, and to make the best decisions to hit our goals, we both should always know the reality of what’s happening.
Our results should be straightforward. You’re investing $X in marketing. For those $X, did our keyword rankings improve? Did our traffic improve? Did we get more leads / sales? These questions should and will always be at the forefront of our discussions together.
Sebo Marketing has specialized in Google marketing services for the past 15+ years. It was founded in 2005.
To put that in perspective, this is a very young industry. Google was founded in 1998. In 2002, Google had only 16% of the total Search Engine traffic (compare that to 90% now in 2020). So Sebo Marketing has been evolving with Google since not long after the beginning.
We understand how the Google algorithm has changed over the years, and what Google’s core purpose is. We are able to get our clients results because we understand those two aspects intimately.
There’s nothing wrong with younger companies – they can often be innovators in the field. However, there is something to be said of a track record. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “approximately 20% of new businesses fail during the first two years of being open, 45% during the first five years, and 65% during the first 10 years. Only 25% of new businesses make it to 15 years or more.”
A company like Sebo Marketing has figured out how to keep its services & results good enough, as well as clients happy enough, to be growing into its 15th year. We encourage you to read some of our recent google reviews, we’d be happy to help your business grow too.

Why Choose an Agency Outside of Boston?
While there may be many great SEO companies located in the city of Boston, because SEO is a service that can be performed from anywhere, there is no need to limit your options to simply those that are located in your geographical area. Purchasing SEO services for your business is very different from buying something like food from a grocery store or going to a restaurant, where a convenient location is crucial. In fact, SEO services are more like a monthly subscription to a streaming service, where it doesn’t matter where the company is located, but rather that you get the content that you want in a timely and affordable manner that helps you accomplish your goals. Because SEO work is primarily done online, your SEO agency can service your needs from anywhere in the world, and you may be able to find much better service and price by choosing to look for a company that is familiar with your area but is located somewhere else.
Sebo Marketing specializes in small and medium size businesses and our competitive pricing allows these small and medium size businesses to invest in SEO and compete with the big players in their industry while maintaining their marketing budgets. Our familiarity with the Boston area as well as our knowledge and understanding of the Boston culture and local market help us serve businesses in Boston even despite not being down the street.

More About Working With a Remote SEO Company

For example, at Sebo Marketing, we communicate with all of our clients on a regular basis, including our remote clients, as if we were a full part of your team (which we want to be!). We send a monthly report at the beginning of every month detailing the work performed the prior month and the results that we found from our SEO efforts. We also detail out what we feel the strategy should be for the upcoming month and plan these strategies in advance so that you know where your money is going and why. We consult with our clients often to make sure that we are focusing on their most relevant keywords and getting the right traffic to their site, and we will hold video conference meetings with our remote clients on a regular basis depending on their needs. We make sure that you can get to know us face to face as if we were right down the street, so that you know that we are a part of your team dedicated to doing our best to get you the results you need to grow your business.
Why Hiring a Good SEO Company Is a Great Idea
SEO work, when done correctly, can be an astronomical benefit to the long term growth of your business. But the value of SEO and an SEO company isn’t always understood and many people don’t have the expertise or resources necessary to do SEO on their own. To many people SEO seems vague, unimportant or confusing, but in reality, SEO may be just the thing you need to take your business to the next level. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider investing in SEO work for your website. And if you don’t have the resources to do it on your own, consider outsourcing this key aspect of marketing by using a professional SEO company as a part of your marketing team.
- Google receives over 70,000 search queries per second, or over 5.8 billion searches every day. Does your website show up?
- Today, over half of the searches on Google take place on a mobile device. Is your website fully optimized for mobile searches?
- Over 60% of clicks go to the first five results on the search engine results page. And over 90% of clicks go to the results on the first page (the top 10 search results) Do you show up near the top of the results for your top keywords? Or are you buried somewhere down on page 5?
- Having your keywords in the right places in the site and high quality content is the fastest and most effective way to climb up the rankings long term. Do you have the right keywords in the right places on your site to get the right traffic coming to your site and converting into customers?
These are just a few reasons why you might want to consider investing in SEO efforts. And because SEO is an investment, you want to make sure it’s done right and set up for success both in the short term and in the long run. Investing in a professional SEO company with experience can help you get the results you need and get the most out of your investment.

Boston also played an integral role in the events of the American Revolutionary war including the Boston Massacre, the rise of the Sons of Liberty and the Boston Tea Party, and many key battles of the war near Boston such as the Battle of Bunker Hill and others. Boston also experienced some decline in it’s history but today has become a thriving metropolis as the 21st largest city in America with a population of over 700,000 living within city limits and many more in surrounding areas.
