Where Does Your Site Rank?
What We Do
What Does an Austin SEO Company Actually Do?
An Austin SEO company does more than tweak title tags. Real SEO is a comprehensive,
ongoing strategy that touches every part of your digital presence — from your website’s
technical infrastructure to how you show up on Google Maps.
Technical SEO Audit
Austin businesses turn over websites fast — new launches, rebrands, and platform migrations are constant in this market. We audit 100+ ranking factors including page speed, mobile performance, crawl errors, and structured data to catch what a recent redesign might have broken.
Local SEO & Map Pack
We optimize your Google Business Profile, build accurate citations across 50+ directories, manage NAP consistency, and get your business ranking in the Google Map Pack — where most local clicks happen.
Keyword Strategy
Austin’s search volume skews toward high-intent, comparison-heavy queries — people here research before they call. We build keyword maps around that behavior instead of chasing broad traffic that never converts.
Content Creation & Optimization
We create and optimize service pages, landing pages, location pages, and blog content that ranks and converts. Every piece is built around topical authority and search intent.
Link Building
Austin has one of the densest concentrations of local blogs, press, and business associations in Texas — we build relationships with those sources directly, alongside broader digital PR and content-driven outreach. No spam, no shortcuts.
Monthly Reporting
Every month, you receive a clear report showing keyword rankings, organic traffic, leads generated, and ROI — benchmarked against what it actually takes to move in one of the most contested SEO markets in the state.

Built for a Market That Moves Fast
Austin’s business landscape shifts quickly — new competitors, new neighborhoods filling in, new search demand every quarter. We track that movement closely so your strategy doesn’t go stale six months into a campaign, which is where template SEO usually falls apart here.

No Contracts. No Excuses.
We don’t lock you in with 12-month contracts to hide mediocre results. We earn your business every month by delivering measurable improvements in rankings, traffic, and leads.

04
Boutique Attention, Agency Capability
As a boutique Austin SEO company, you work directly with experienced SEO specialists — not account managers who pass messages to anonymous teams. Your campaign gets real strategic attention.
What Ranking Actually Looks Like in Austin
Austin is consistently one of the most contested SEO markets in Texas — high business density, high ad costs, and a lot of well-funded competitors.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Austin SEO
How much does SEO cost in Austin, TX?
SEO pricing in Austin typically ranges from $750–$2,500/month for small businesses, and $2,500–$10,000+/month for competitive industries like law, real estate, or medical practices.
At MSJ Marketing, we offer customized packages based on your goals, competition level, and current site health. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees — and no long-term contracts.
How long does SEO take to work in Austin?
Most Austin businesses start seeing measurable ranking improvements within 60–90 days of starting an SEO campaign. Significant traffic and lead increases typically occur between months 3 and 6.
Highly competitive keywords (like “Austin personal injury lawyer” or “Austin real estate agent”) can take 6–12 months to dominate. SEO is a long-term investment — unlike paid ads, results compound over time and don’t stop when you stop paying.
Do you serve businesses in the Austin suburbs, not just downtown?
Yes. A lot of the growth in this metro is happening outside the urban core — Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and Pflugerville have all seen major business growth in recent years. We build strategies that account for search demand across the full metro, not just the zip codes immediately around downtown Austin.
Do I need SEO if I’m already running Google Ads?
Yes. Google Ads stop generating leads the moment you stop paying. SEO builds organic visibility that works 24/7. Most Austin businesses find that strong SEO reduces their dependency on paid ads and lowers their overall cost per lead significantly. The two work best together, but SEO delivers better long-term ROI.
Do you offer local SEO for Austin businesses?
Yes — local SEO is one of our core specialties. We optimize your Google Business Profile, build citations across 50+ directories, manage NAP consistency, and get your business ranking in the Google Map Pack — the top 3 local results that appear above organic listings. For service-area businesses, Map Pack rankings often drive the majority of phone calls and leads.
What industries do you serve in Austin?
We work with Austin businesses across many industries including HVAC and home services, law firms, medical and dental practices, real estate, restaurants, roofing and construction, med spas, financial services, plumbers, electricians, and local e-commerce. If your business needs to rank locally in Austin, we can help.
Will my rankings drop if I stop doing SEO?
Not immediately — but over time, yes. Competitors continue optimizing, Google updates its algorithm, and without continued attention, rankings gradually erode. Think of SEO like fitness: you can maintain results with less effort once you’ve hit your goals, but stopping entirely lets competitors catch up. We offer maintenance plans for clients who have reached their ranking goals.
