SEO Services in Alpharetta, GA

J&L Media is a local SEO company in Alpharetta, GA. We get local businesses found by the people already searching for what they sell — in the organic results and in the Google map pack that sits above them.

Most websites do not rank because of something fixable: pages competing with each other for the same term, a Google Business Profile nobody verified, service pages too thin for Google to understand, or a technical problem quietly blocking indexing. We find which of those applies to you before proposing any work.

Every site we manage is tracked daily by AI and reviewed weekly by our team. AI catches position drops and new keyword opportunities as they happen; the strategy stays with a person who knows your business.

What Our SEO Services Include

AI-powered

What AI-Managed SEO Actually Means

Instead of waiting on a monthly report to find out how your site is doing, AI keeps a constant eye on your SEO performance so our team can act on what matters, faster.

  • Daily tracking of your Google rankings for the keywords that matter to your business.
  • AI-surfaced content and on-page recommendations, reviewed and prioritized by our SEO team before anything changes on your site.
  • Early alerts when a competitor moves up, a page drops in rankings, or a new keyword opportunity opens up.

Our SEO Process

  1. 1Free consultation
    We look at where you currently rank, what your competitors are doing, and whether SEO is even the right first investment for your business. Sometimes it is not, and we will say so.
  2. 2Audit and plan
    A full technical and content audit, keyword research for your service area, and a written plan that says which pages get fixed, which get written, and in what order.
  3. 3Fix and build
    We work through the plan: technical fixes first, then on-page rewrites, then new pages for the terms you are missing entirely. Your Google Business Profile gets handled in parallel.
  4. 4Measure and adjust
    AI tracks your positions daily, our team reviews weekly, and the plan adjusts to what the data actually shows rather than to what we assumed in month one.

SEO Pricing in Alpharetta, GA

Most agencies make you sit through a sales call before they will tell you a number. Here is ours.

What you getPrice
SEO audit and setup
One-time. Technical crawl, keyword research, competitor analysis, Google Business Profile review, and a written 6-month plan. Yours to keep, whether or not you continue with us.
$750
one-time
Local SEO management
Ongoing. On-page work, content, Google Business Profile management, citation cleanup, AI rank tracking, and a monthly report. Initial six-month term.
$800
per month

The audit is yours either way. If you take the written plan and hand it to someone else, or run it yourself, that is a legitimate outcome. We would rather you have it than feel locked in.

We ask for an initial six-month term on management. That is not a sales tactic — SEO does not produce results you can fairly judge in less time, and billing you for three months of work you cannot yet evaluate would not be honest.

Where We Do Local SEO

We work with local businesses across North Fulton County and the north side of Metro Atlanta:

Local rankings depend heavily on proximity, so the work is targeted city by city rather than aimed at a generic “Atlanta” audience that is unlikely to drive to you.

We Have Been Through This Ourselves

This site was hit by a mass backlink spam campaign — hundreds of PBN domains pointing at jlmedia.agency, none of them requested. We diagnosed it, filed the disavow, found the problems that diagnosis missed, and wrote the whole thing down, including what did not work. If you want to see how we think before you hire us, read the recovery writeup or the longer piece on what actually works for SEO in Alpharetta.

SEO also does not work in isolation. What we learn from your Google Ads campaigns tells us which search terms actually convert, your Google Business Profile decides whether you show up in the map pack at all, and your website determines whether the traffic turns into calls.

SEO FAQ

How much does SEO cost in Alpharetta?

The audit and setup is a one-time $750 and includes the technical crawl, keyword research, competitor analysis, and a written six-month plan that is yours to keep either way. Ongoing local SEO management is $800 per month. We ask for an initial six-month term because SEO does not produce measurable movement faster than that, and charging you for three months of work you cannot yet judge would not be honest.

How long does SEO take to work?

Expect three to six months before rankings move meaningfully, and six to twelve before that translates into steady lead flow. Technical fixes can show up in weeks; authority and local signals take longer because they depend on Google recrawling and re-evaluating your site. Anyone promising first-page rankings in 30 days is either targeting keywords nobody searches for or is not being straight with you.

What is the difference between SEO and local SEO?

Local SEO targets searches tied to a place — 'plumber near me', 'web design alpharetta' — where Google shows a map pack above the organic results. Winning there depends on your Google Business Profile, reviews, proximity, and citation consistency as much as on your website. General SEO competes nationally on content and authority alone. For a business serving Alpharetta and North Fulton, local SEO is where the money is.

Do I need SEO if I am already running Google Ads?

They solve different problems. Ads buy visibility immediately and stop the moment you stop paying. SEO compounds — rankings you earn keep working after the invoice stops. Most local businesses run ads for immediate lead flow while SEO builds underneath, then reduce ad spend as organic takes over.

Can you fix a site hit by spam backlinks?

Yes, and we have done it on our own domain. J&L Media was hit by a mass backlink spam campaign that pointed hundreds of PBN domains at this site. We documented the whole recovery — diagnosis, disavow, and what actually changed — on our blog, including the parts that did not work.

What areas do you serve?

We do local SEO for businesses in Alpharetta, GA, Roswell, GA, Johns Creek, GA, Cumming, GA, Milton, GA, Fulton County, GA and the surrounding North Fulton and Metro Atlanta area.
