Red Olive and SEO grew up together. For over 20 years, our award-winning Utah SEO company has been adapting and learning alongside the evolution of search engines to hone a perspective and understanding that other Utah marketing agencies can’t compete with.

What Utah SEO Actually Takes

Ranking in Utah sounds simple until you try it. The state’s population is spread across cities with distinct search habits, competitive dynamics, and local intent signals. What works in Salt Lake City doesn’t automatically translate to Provo or St. George.

The state’s Silicon Slopes corridor has also changed the game for everyone. Well-funded tech companies with serious marketing resources have raised the floor on what it takes to compete online, even for small, local businesses that have nothing to do with tech.

Good SEO requires understanding the market, reading the competitive landscape, and building a strategy around what’s actually happening in search, not what worked two years ago. That’s what we bring to the table, and the work we do here is the same work that moves the needle for national and global brands.

How We Earned Our Reputation as an SEO Authority for 20+ Years

The Red Olive Reputation

01 We follow our own advice

We rank for every service we offer in Utah, and that’s against the best in the business.

02 We’ve been doing this since 1999

We built a foundation of SEO expertise by learning from every update, trend, and advancement Google has seen over the last 24 years. Our knowledge is truly as old as search engine optimization itself.

03 We have an incredibly varied clientele

We can apply our skillset to any industry or market. It’s why national brands like Mastercard and some of Utah’s leading local businesses both find success with us.

04 We cater our reporting to you

We showcase revenue drivers that impact your specific goals and needs rather than report favorable figures that aren’t ultimately supporting profitability.

05 We’re an extension of your team

When you partner with us, we quickly get competitive when it comes to your brand. We spend the extra time digging for opportunities like we’re one of your own. Plus, we guarantee straightforward communication and honest feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does SEO cost?

We get this question a lot, and there are many variables to consider. Pricing for our SEO packages can range from $1,500 to $10,000 per month. To get a precise quote, we recommend reaching out to us. This allows our team to perform a quick review of your website and industry. This initial review helps us better understand your current position and gives us a rough idea of what roadmap we’ll follow to get you up to speed.

We typically recommend a starting investment of $3,000-$5,000 per month. An investment in this range, with the right agency, will typically deliver the results you are looking for in a reasonable timeframe. Remember: SEO services are the best long-term strategy for developing a steady pipeline of new business. Our experience shows this level of investment exceeds the value you’ll receive.

If you are not able to invest that much, then (at a minimum) you should plan for $1,500-$2,000 per month. Any agency that charges less will likely provide low-level, basic SEO services that offer little value.

How long is the SEO contract?

This is an easy one; there is no contract. We aim to prove ourselves to you month in and month out and never lock you into anything.

You can cancel anytime; we just ask for a 30-day notice to wrap up any strategies we’ve already put in motion for that month.

Do you specialize in any specific niche or industry within SEO?

No, although we see many agencies that do. These agencies market themselves this way so they can copy/paste their strategies to eliminate critical thinking. Sadly, it doesn’t ever work. Instead, they center your experience around a one-size-fits-all mentality, cookie-cutter low-quality deliverables, conflict of interest, similar content to your competitors, less-than-ideal results, etc.

This is precisely why we consistently outperform niche SEO firms. Whether your company is a national e-commerce brand or a local business, we approach your website with a fresh, custom approach tailored directly to you. We take the time to thoroughly analyze your existing site and understand your strengths and weaknesses. We’ll learn your client personas and then adapt your messaging to improve the quality and quantity of your traffic to increase your conversion rates. We have years of experience to know that this is the SEO strategy that works time and again — it simply takes a level of effort many low-cost agencies won’t make.

Does Red Olive optimize for mobile?

Always. Mobile is a top priority, especially since the majority of online searches are done on a mobile device. Our team will build and implement a strategy dedicated to taking advantage of the growing amount of mobile traffic.

Should I implement an SEO strategy on my current site if I'm building a new website?

Yes. Any technical SEO and page optimization work we complete on an existing site can be carried over to your new site. In fact, as we build and design a new website for you, our SEO team often goes to work on your existing site to improve your rankings and gather data to better inform decision-making on your new site.

Should I have both SEO and Google Advertising (PPC) running at the same time?

We highly recommend this approach. SEO takes time; it can take 6-12 months to build the momentum that you want to see. So, while we are earning rankings with Google organically through SEO, we can see instant traffic upticks with PPC. This long-term strategy, paired with a complementary quick-win approach, gives us more opportunities to gather data we can use to improve your on-site SEO. Employing a PPC strategy also allows us to test keywords to see what traffic and conversions we can get. The highest converting ones can be carried over to our SEO strategy, which helps us skip a few steps.

How do you stay on top of SEO?

A core Red Olive value is to stay informed. To accomplish this, we follow Google algorithm updates, various industry thought leaders, industry websites and publications, perform competitor research, and have paid subscriptions to ongoing educational platforms. 

When we hit a wall, we employ creative problem-solving — including bringing in other SEO specialists on our team to act as consultants and provide fresh perspectives. Our team constantly tests and measures results which means we often identify new trends and are informed well ahead of other marketing agencies.

What metrics do you monitor and report on in your monthly SEO reports?

Our monthly reporting consists of metrics including:

  • #1: Your overall KPIs: we consistently report on the #s you find most influential.
  • Current site rankings
  • Conversions (e.g., lead forms, phone calls, e-commerce sales, downloads, etc.)
  • Traffic (the type of traffic you’re receiving — based on device, location, time, and more)
  • Cost per click and cost per acquisition
  • A summary/analysis in laypeople’s terms of what each of these metrics means

With Red Olive, you can see your performance before we issue each month’s report. We are entirely transparent, so you are given 24/7 access to the same data we use to generate your report.

In addition to our monthly reporting, our team will provide a written strategy that details what is recommended for the next month. Because our team analyzes your site performance frequently throughout the month, we do a monthly reset based on what we see in the data. This approach keeps us agile and responsive to changing market trends and your competition. 

Our reports are also formatted for high-level review, so executives and other stakeholders can rapidly access the numbers and view progress. You don’t need to mess with filters to see month over month, year over year, trending data, sales data, ranking results, and your visibility trend. Our reports are easy to read and easy to analyze.

Red Olive has been my digital marketing partner for years now. They built our current website, manage our DM spend, and are brilliant at SEO. I would recommend their services to anyone.

Why Local SEO Experts in Utah Hits Different

There’s a version of Utah SEO that gets sold to businesses every day: a national agency with a slick deck, a standardized process, and a coordinator checking boxes from a thousand miles away. It looks like strategy, but it’s a gimmick. A product that doesn’t work. Dare we say a scam.

Red Olive has been here for two and a half decades doing the work, staying ahead, and holding ourselves accountable to results. We’ve watched Salt Lake City evolve from a regional hub into one of the most competitive digital markets in the West. We’ve seen the industries that define Utah’s economy shift and grow. And we’ve built strategies for nearly all of them, from healthcare and home services to law firms, architects, and Silicon Slopes tech companies.
