Two independent concepts created to show our design approach: how thoughtful design, clearer navigation and a stronger visual identity can bring a brand’s story to life. Switch between before and after, and scroll the whole homepage.
Three decisions.
Three different pages.
Med spa and moving searches each run about 320 a month, with moving the easiest at 11. Agent searches are smaller at 90 but tougher at 36.

Straight answers.
Real follow-through.
My brokerage profile was fine, but it didn't say much about me. Now I have a website I can send clients that explains how I work and the neighborhoods I know.
I'm particular about photos, especially on my real estate site. Eric was patient while we changed the selections and adjusted the layout. I never felt rushed to approve it.
The useful part was looking at the site as a customer would. I knew where everything was because it's my business. A first-time visitor wouldn't have known where to click.
Four ways in.

Look first.
Then choose the scope.
Growth Review
We look at your business, website and search presence, then recommend a starting point. An initial assessment, not a full strategy or implementation.
Choose the scope
If the site needs rebuilding, we discuss Foundation. If it is ready for ongoing work, we scope Growth. You never buy every plan in sequence.
Build or improve
Work follows the agreed scope. We connect analytics and inquiry tracking, then review what should change next.
Questions from
Palo Alto owners.
Is a directory listing enough?
It introduces you. Your own page answers the rest and gives people a clear next step.
Do agents need a site if brokerage profiles rank?
A profile gets you found. Your own site is where clients see how you work before they call.
Has SEOD worked with Palo Alto businesses?
Yes. Palo Alto businesses have booked a Website and Visibility Audit or a Growth Review with SEOD. Results we show are labeled with where they really happened.
What does it cost to start?
Foundation is $4,500. With the required Care plan ($250 a month for months 2 to 7), the first seven months come to $6,000. There is no setup, activation or onboarding fee.Foundation is $2,800 through December 31, our holiday price. It goes to $4,500 on January 1. With the required Care plan ($250 a month for months 2 to 7), the first seven months come to $4,300 now, or $6,000 from January 1. There is no setup, activation or onboarding fee.
What does Foundation include?
A complete website built to be found: up to 8 core pages, mobile design, copywriting, forms or basic booking, GA4 and conversion tracking, technical search setup, Google Business Profile setup where eligible, and a blog with 10 search-focused launch articles. Ecommerce, multi-location, multilingual and larger sites are quoted separately.
Is there a monthly fee?
Care is $250 a month, required for months 2 through 7, then month to month. It keeps the site maintained and includes 2 strategic articles a month during those six months.
What about ongoing SEO and ads?
That's Growth. It's quoted after your Growth Review, and most plans begin with a 90-day initial term, then month to month. Offsite ranking work, like links, citations and local press, runs on a monthly budget you set.
Can you fix our Google Business Profile?
Yes. Profile setup is part of Foundation where your business is eligible. Ongoing profile and local listing work is part of Growth.
Who owns the website?
You do. Your domain, hosting, analytics, ad accounts and content stay in your name.
Are rankings guaranteed?
No. Rankings and AI citations aren't guaranteed by SEOD or anyone else. We agree on the work up front and how progress gets measured.
What happens in the Growth Review?
It costs nothing. Eric looks at your site, your listings and the searches that matter to you, then recommends where to start. It's a starting recommendation, not a full audit or a sales pitch.
Who will I work with, and when can I reach you?
Eric Lee, SEOD's founder, with one team behind him. SEOD has been building since 2016. Requests are answered 7 AM to 11 PM Pacific, in English, Korean or Spanish.
