hello friends
we need your professional advice
we are a small family owned business
we provide four services in florida
the services are
locksmith
carpet cleaning
air duct cleaning
water damage restoration
our website is
hxxp://www.servicerususa.com

our main goal is to be on the first page of google
in the organic search results to get more exposure
my question is if we can be on the first page of google
if we provide four services
because someone told me thats it's gonna be nearly impossible to get us to the first page with 4 services
we are currently invested 2 months on one seo company (cost of $350 a month)
that apparently did not do anything worth mentioning

the service that give us the most businesses is the locksmith
so if the recommendation we get from this is to focus on on service it will be it

Thank you in advance,

    Certainly not impossible to get first page rankings with any number of services. It's just a question of time and money.

    There are many different ways of accomplishing what you're seeking. EMDs, video, social media profiles, etc. Any good SEO firm should review with you all of these options, in addition to ranking your main site for the term.

    When we do local SEO, our goal is not to get one first page ranking. It's to get multiple rankings on the first page.

    And at least as important as getting traffic, it's converting the traffic into customers. And I'm not sure if you're doing all you can with your current site.

    I'd really suggest finding someone to do a complete makeover.

    Use sub-domains. Keep each sub-domain focused on one niche.
    • hxxp://servicerususa.com
      • hxxp://locksmith.servicerususa.com
      • hxxp://carpet.servicerususa.com
      • hxxp://airduct.servicerususa.com
      • hxxp://restoration.servicerususa.com

    Use the root domain as a company hub for all the sub-niches (links pointing at all services).

    Of course you can rank on page 1 for more than one service. It is really sad that you paid that amount and got no return on it.

    Your site has poor on page seo and you may want to consider adding a blog to target your keywords.

    Did they provide you with any evidence of what work they did for you.......and do they have a money back option....lol

    pm me and I will run you a few reports....no charge (Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays). They will give you a starting a point and will be good for future reference to monitor your improvements.

    What did you pay $700 for?

    The site looks like it was built in 1995 & Ahrefs doesn't show any links.

    Why in the world are your nameservers from the UK & the local business is in Florida (US)?

    I'd scrap the design and re-build the site as a silo site

    The home page would be "home services" or something similar, and the 5 services you provide would be silos

    You'd need 5 articles in each silo describing best practices, etc. - that would bring your site up to 28 to 29 pages, including about us, privacy, contact us, etc.

    Apart from the look of the site, there is very little content on it

    I looked at your website. It needs to be redesigned, not modern looking enough. Looks like it was put together by a 4th grader or something(Not trying to insult you or anything). It also needs a lot more content than what you have. You should also try to rank locally with your keywords, maybe you should target keywords like "locksmith in Florida" or similar. Look at your competitor's websites that maybe on the first page of Google and see what keywords they are using and go from there.

    If you are offering services only in Florida. You should work for local keywords. Set up Google business listing pages and connect this to your website. This will help you to rank for local keywords.

      If you are targeting only local places then you should use first long tail keywords because it will easily get rank on first page but its take time to rank on the base of single word in SERP. And you can use google listing to target local business.

    Very Sad. You have wasted your money & time. You need to redesign your site. Use any CMS platform. Actually expert has already suggested you. Follow their instructions.

      ROTFLMAO!

      SEO for 4 "real" businesses would be a nonissue.

      It's called:

      Advertising.
      Yellow Pages
      Fliers
      Google Maps

      No SEO is even in the mix.

      You don't even need a website.

      Come on people. Either you have a "real" business, or
      you don't.

        It's not uncommon for one business to have multiple divisions.

    If you created a well-optimised page for each service and got some quality links into those pages, there is no good reason why you can't improve your rankings, notwithstanding the web site design.

    To get on page one for all 4 services using your home page would be very difficult.
