SEO & Local SEO Services for Small Businesses in Fort Wayne, Indiana and Nationwide

Showing up on Google isn't luck. It's strategy.

Search engine optimization is what changes that — it's what connects the people who are already looking for exactly what you offer to the business that can actually help them. That's you. They just need to be able to find you.

At Rooted Social Creative, we build SEO strategies that start with your customers — how they search, what language they use, what they actually need — and work backward from there. No keyword stuffing, no outdated tricks, no one-size-fits-all templates. Just a clear, well-executed strategy built around your specific business, your market, and where you want to show up.

A beautiful website with no traffic is just a really pretty dead end.

What SEO and local SEO services include

On-page SEO: optimized page titles, meta descriptions, header structure, and keyword-rich copy that tells Google exactly what your business does and who it serves. Local SEO: strategies designed to get you into the Google Map Pack and in front of customers searching in your area — whether that's Fort Wayne, Indiana or wherever your market lives. Technical SEO: making sure your site loads fast, is structured correctly, and performs the way search engines expect. AIO (AI Optimization): structuring your content so AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews reference and recommend your business — not just your competitors. Keyword research: finding the actual phrases your ideal clients are typing, not just the ones that sound right.

What's the difference between SEO and AIO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps your business show up when someone searches on Google. AIO (AI Optimization) is the newer layer — it's about making sure your content is structured so AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews actually surface your business in their answers. Both matter right now, and we build for both. If your competitors aren't thinking about AIO yet, this is your window.

Do you have to be on Squarespace?

Nope. Your platform doesn't have to change for your visibility to. Whether your site is on Squarespace, WordPress, Wix, Webflow, or something else entirely, SEO works at the content and structure level — and that's where we live. If your site can be edited, it can be optimized.

Investment

SEO and local SEO services start at $1,100.

Scope varies depending on the size of your site, how many pages need optimization, and whether ongoing support is included. Bundling SEO with a new Squarespace website build or Google Business Profile optimization? Packages start at $3,000 and are built so everything works together from day one.

  • As an entrepreneur, I've done a lot of my web and SEO work on my own. But having Ronni explain it and help us improve what we have in place--was a huge deal! My sites are already showing up better in searches, they're talking to each other, and we don't feel as in the dark about the whole process. Thanks, Ronni, for not only helping us get it done, but also helping us understand the way it works! That will benefit our business in so many ways!

  • Ronni has helped me twice with my site. First with SEO right after it was created, and then recently to do some backend stuff to help AI more easily scan my site and gather relevant info. She also polished the client-facing pages to make them easier to navigate. She also added meta titles and tags and zhushed my homepage so my site has better curb appeal. I have zero interest in learning how to do what Ronni does, and I'm so grateful that I can hire her and I know she's going to take care of it for me so my site can get more eyes on it and my business can be more successful. She's so easy to work with, knows exactly what she's doing, and does it at a very fair price.

  • I hired Ronni to go through my website to add meta-tags and key words and all the things to improve its SEO. They researched what key words to use for my industry and then went through every single page. They made re-writes directly in addition to adding all the tags. I'm not 100% certain of everything Ronni did, but they worked their magic. Before the week was out I was already the top search response on one of my key search terms. And a few weeks later, I appeared on the first page of a search on two other key search terms for my industry. Prior to Ronni's magic, I was so far down the search results that I had no idea what page I appeared on (I never bothered to click through that many!). Ronni was so easy to work with and got me fabulous results! I wholeheartedly recommend you work with them for your SEO and other content needs. I am looking to do a branding and website refresh next year and would love to work with Ronni again as part of that.
