August SEO

August SEO is one person. That's the pitch, not the apology. The strategist who audits your site is the same one who writes the content, fixes the technical issues, and answers the phone. No account managers, no handoffs, no junior staff learning on your budget. I've been doing this since 2005 — long enough to watch every shortcut in the industry get burned off by an algorithm update. What survived is the boring truth: search engines reward sites that answer questions better than the competition does. So that's what we build. Entity-dense, genuinely useful content on clean technical foundations. Our clients rank without buying a single backlink, which most agencies will tell you is impossible. It isn't. It's just incompatible with selling link packages.

The work covers the full stack: technical audits, content strategy and production, local SEO, web design, and paid search management where it earns its keep. Most clients are small to mid-sized businesses in Spokane and across the Northwest — contractors, manufacturers, healthcare practices, professional services. And because search itself is changing, AI visibility (AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity) is built into every strategy from day one, not sold back to you later as an add-on. Everything runs month to month. No contracts, no lock-in. If the results stop justifying the invoice, you walk. That keeps the incentives exactly where they should be.
