Search Rankings are a High-Stakes Game

You can have a great business and still stay invisible online. Search engines and AI search tools decide who shows up first, and they reward websites that stay active and frequently updated. Your site needs to stay accurate across the web and clear about what you do. If it’s not, customers may never even know you exist.

Ask Yourself:

Is your business showing up first when people search on Google?

Does AI search recommend your business or your competitors?

Are new customers finding you, or someone else?

Is your website bringing in real calls and bookings?

Do visitors leave because your site isn’t mobile-friendly or updated?

We Get it.

You shouldn’t have to spend your days writing content, running ads, or figuring out how to keep your business visible online. Running your business is already a full-time job.

That’s why we help local business owners stay active and competitive online with regular website updates, blog content, SEO that helps your business show up in Google and AI search results, and affordable advertising that brings in customers faster. And we do it all within a budget that lets you focus on what really matters: your customers.

Our Complete Approach

There’s no single trick to getting found online. That’s why our Small Business Web Design and Local SEO Marketing Services cover every part of what makes your business visible, from search and AI optimization to content, advertising, and local credibility.

Fast, Secure, and Compliant Web Design

Your website isn’t just for customers; it’s constantly being rated by search engines and AI tools. Metrics like page speed, accessibility, and security affect how high your business appears online. We build websites that perform well for people and for search engines while keeping your data protected and your site compliant.

Local Keyword Optimization

Using targeted local search terms brings in real customers near you instead of random traffic. We research how people in your area actually search for your services, then optimize your website and content around those phrases. This helps your business appear more often and in the right results.

Relevant Local Content Creation

Regular website updates and blog posts keep your business active and visible. Search engines and AI tools reward fresh, helpful content over outdated competitors, so we focus on topics your local customers actually care about.

Human-First Web Design and Copywriting

Every click comes from a real person. Design and copywriting that speak clearly to customers build trust, increase calls, and improve your search visibility at the same time.

Google Business Profile Management

Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing customers see before visiting your website. We optimize and manage your profile so it ranks higher in local search, stays up to date, and earns more clicks and calls. We also manage other key platforms like Yelp, Bing, and Apple Maps to keep your business information accurate everywhere customers search.

Local Listing Management

Your business details must be correct across all directories such as Apple Maps, Yelp, and Nextdoor. We make sure your hours, contact info, and service areas stay consistent everywhere, so customers can find and trust your business no matter where they look. Consistency across listings also improves how search engines view your business online.

Affordable Advertising

Effective ads don’t need a huge budget. Our campaigns focus on high-intent local searches like “near me,” targeting people who are actively looking for your services right now. By prioritizing these ready-to-buy customers, your ad dollars go further and deliver faster results.

Social Media and Brand Awareness

Social platforms aren’t where most people discover local businesses, but they do help your brand stay credible and familiar. We keep your profiles active with consistent updates and cross-posting, so when customers look you up, they see a business that’s current, professional, and trustworthy.

Why Partner With Us?

At CornerClicks, we care about small businesses. After all, we’re one too. We understand how hard it is to keep up with constant algorithm changes, new platforms, and shifting “best practices” across the internet.

That’s why we believe businesses like yours should be able to compete without having a corporate-sized marketing budget or spending all your precious time keeping your website updated and responding to reviews. We’re committed to every one of our clients’ success, because we believe local businesses deserve better.

Contact Us About Us

We do this by providing you with comprehensive SEO reporting and by crafting strategies that work specifically for you, so you know exactly how your business is performing over time and where your budget is being spent.

That’s why we educate our clients with info on local SEO and up-to-date marketing practices. You don’t have to know all the technical stuff—that’s our job. But you at least deserve to understand what you’re budgeting for and what’s necessary to keep your business performing well online.

That means:

  • Protecting you and your customers’ privacy any way we can
  • Keeping all the sites we create accessible for users with special needs
  • Protecting site owners and their users with legal compliance
  • Making sure your site is secure from hackers, crypto-miners, data dumpers, and anyone else who poses a threat to your business

    • Unlike some other companies, we won’t keep your website locked behind a paywall. After we’re done with your design, you keep your site and only pay for hosting and any plugin subscriptions you want to use. And while we do offer discount packages for short-term rolling contracts, you don’t have to sign up for them. You can pay for our SEO services month-to-month and have the freedom to cancel any time.

    Twelve years ago, we started out as a video production company and over time, our clients began to request other creative services like website design and branding. Our background in creativity gives us a unique perspective, one that makes us experts in communication, advertising, and engaging content creation.

    After all, SEO isn’t just technical, it’s all based on how real people interact with your website and the experience you create for them. Google knows that—and so do we.

    FAQs

    Website Design

    Nowadays, most website visits come from mobile users—over 60% of internet traffic is on phones. But there’s a big difference between a website that’s available on mobile, and one designed for it.

    Websites that are optimized for mobile use should load super-fast, not have intrusive elements like pop-ups, be easy to read, and have an easy-to-navigate design. If your website isn’t well optimized for mobile, users could leave quickly, which signals to Google that your website’s not worth checking out. Worst of all, it could end up losing you customers.

    Yes, because what matters to search engines is also what matters to your users.

    Across all platforms—mobile, desktop, tablet—search engines want to see that users are sticking around on your website and that they like what you offer. If your website doesn’t load within 3 seconds on desktop, users are likely to leave. (And that number is getting smaller every year). As a bonus, sites that load within 1 second can actually convert 2.5x more than sites that load in 5 seconds.

    So, speed matters. A lot. And if search engines see that your site loads fast and keeps users around, that’s when they’ll send you climbing up the ranks.

    Websites aren’t set-and-forget. Just like your home needs cleaning and your car needs servicing, your website needs regular check-ups to ensure it remains secure, up to date, and running smoothly. This prevents issues like broken links, buggy updates, outdated information, or security vulnerabilities that could turn visitors away, de-rank you in search, or make your site a target for hackers.

    Plus—we keep spam out of your email, blog, and contact forms. Because who wants to deal with a boatload of bot spam?

    Hackers love hitting small businesses. Why? Because they think you’re an easy target. And cyber attacks for small businesses come in many forms: phishing scams for your financial info, ransomware used to hold your data hostage, secret crypto mining using your resources, data dumping illegal files onto your website—and the list goes on.

    Search engines want to recommend sites that are safe, not sketchy. A secure, HTTPS-encrypted site tells Google you’re legit and trustworthy, which can bump you up in rankings. Plus, avoiding hacks means avoiding penalties or blacklisting that can tank your visibility.

    Most importantly, a breach can lead to lost customer trust and even legal issues for your business. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. 

    Apart from it being a moral obligation to ensure everyone can access your content, there are legal reasons, too. Web accessibility is a requirement under various federal and state laws, and failing to comply can lead to lawsuits and fines—not to mention alienating potential customers.

    We aim to comply with WCAG 2.0 Level AA standards with all websites we create, which can be a tricky task when platforms and plugins are always updating. That’s why we include accessibility checks in our website maintenance services.

    As a bonus, accessible websites are easier to navigate for all users, making your website a better experience for every one of your customers, no matter their needs.

    Skipping out on legal requirements can lead to fines, lawsuits, or your site being taken down. It’s like driving without a license: a risk that isn’t worth the gamble.  

    Legal requirements come in multiple forms. Cookie compliance and permissions help protect your customers’ privacy by asking for permission before tracking their information—and our designs use as little cookie tracking as possible.   

    There are also accessibility requirements for users with disabilities; privacy policies; terms of service (which can help protect you from your users); return policies and other eCommerce compliance; and we keep up with any new laws required of business websites.  

    SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

    Most local businesses would benefit from a combined marketing strategy. Advertising is an easy way to get your business in front of people, but it’s also costly. Clicks on your ads get expensive quickly, and you have no way to know if the people clicking on your ads are real customers or something else: competitors and solicitors who you just wasted ad money on.

    Local SEO, on the other hand, is more like building a great reputation in your community: it takes a bit of time, but the results are long-lasting. Ranking high organically ensures people will easily find your business time and time again, and through a well-managed reputation, they’ll know you’re trustworthy too—because your other customers are telling them so.

    Reputation management and local SEO make it easier and cheaper for you to gain new customers in the long run. And your competitors can click on your listing all they want: it won’t cost you a dime.

    Not all SEO services are the same. A lot of what falls under the general blanket of the term “SEO” doesn’t apply to local businesses. Local SEO has its own set of rules and guidelines, (which can vary from one search engine to another), so your business needs to focus on a strategy that’s meant to put you in front of your own local customers.

    For instance, it won’t benefit you if your California-based service shows up in the search results for a user in the U.K. That’s why it’s important to use strategies that are specific to location-based businesses.

    The Local Pack is like being on the podium at the Olympics, but for local businesses. So when you search for, say, a local sushi restaurant, Google will display the top 3 restaurants—according to their own algorithm—in your area, right at the top of your results page. The rest of the restaurants in the results will be pushed to a second page, where you have to click “More Places” to see them.   

    It’s a coveted top spot, considering most customers are likely to go with one of the top 3 results without even clicking to see more businesses on the second page. It’s tough to get into, but well worth the effort. Landing in the Local Pack is like a gold medal in the visibility Olympics.  

    In most cases, yes. It may seem counter-intuitive that a local business should need a blog (which is a useful tool for content marketing), and its returns can be deceiving. A small business’s blog post isn’t likely to go viral on social media—but that’s also not the point of it.   

    A blog for a local business serves two purposes: First, it helps signal to search engines that this is a website to pay attention to. This business keeps updating and adding information, so that’s something worth sending users to, and therefore, gets your site ranked higher.   

    Second, it shows your knowledge and authority to your customers. It’s your chance to help people, educate them, and to show them you’re the business they should trust in your community. They’ll want to stick around, browse what you offer, and be more likely to purchase since they know you’re knowledgeable and trustworthy.   

    Using keywords is just the start. SEO isn’t only about listing your industry and location on your home page. It’s needs to be updated and maintained across the internet too—that means your website’s metadata, Google, Bing, other search engines, social media channels, directory listings, and more.

    To make things trickier, search engines are always changing how they rank sites, and if your competitors are constantly updating their content, they’re going to climb in local search results, and you won’t. Ongoing SEO keeps you in the race, ensuring your site adapts, stays relevant, and continues ranking well.

    It’s kind of like gardening: planting is the first step, but regular care keeps it thriving.

    CornerClicks’ Services

    Nope, we don’t believe in outsourcing or white labeling. We’re professionals who handle everything in-house, right here in Santa Clarita. Why? Because we know that to truly deliver the best results, we need to be hands-on with every project, ensuring quality at every step.

    By keeping everything local, we maintain control over the work we do and build stronger, more personal relationships with our clients. When you partner with us, you’re not just getting a service—you’re getting a dedicated team that’s right down the road, fully committed to your success.

    Yes! We understand different businesses are in a lot of different scenarios with their marketing needs. That’s why we offer our local SEO as a separate service. There are many varying types of SEO services, and we understand that not every business needs the full works.

    On the other hand, if your website has major issues like security problems or hasn’t been updated in decades, you could potentially struggle to rank well, even with stellar SEO or a shining Google Business Profile. Think of it like a car: SEO is the gas that keeps it running, but it won’t get you far if your engine gives out.

    That’s why when we intake any new client, we’ll provide you with all the information you need to keep your business running smoothly online. You’ll know exactly what you’ll need to dominate local search, and it’s totally up to you what you want to invest in for your business.

    No, we want our customers to feel like their options are open and their budgets are flexible.

    We do, however, offer discounted rates if you sign up for a certain length of time, and considering SEO can take a period of at least a few months to make a difference in your traffic, this can be a win for both of us: we can have the time we need to do our job effectively, and you can save money in the long run.

    Plus, we offer payment plans on non-subscription services like website design. By keeping things flexible, we can work together to meet your goals and adjust your needs as we go.

    SEO is more like a marathon than like a sprint. You might start seeing some ranking and traffic improvements in as little as a few weeks. But typically, it takes a minimum of three months to see real improvements in your local search rankings and online visibility. Robust changes in organic search visibility begin to show around 6-12 months. However, this can vary widely based on the competitive landscape of your industry, so for some businesses, it may take even longer.

    Local SEO is all about building a firm foundation, then steadily climbing to the top—and staying there.

    Depending on which of our services you need, there may be different scenarios for a business with multiple locations. If you need a website, it’s no different from any other business: you’ll only need one website, which we’ll optimize to show you have multiple locations.

    As far as local search and maps, multiple locations are treated as separate businesses by search engines. That means you need listings for every single location. When signing up for our local SEO services, we charge per location, but we do offer discounts for businesses who need our services for two or more locations under the same business name.

    Yes! We are located in Santa Clarita, CA (just north of Los Angeles), and we’ve worked with clients both locally and nationwide. Currently, we are only working with local businesses within the US, but may expand to international businesses in the future.

    Feel free to contact us anytime, no matter where you’re located.
