Search Engine Optimization

How do I get my business to show up on Google?

Technical, on-page and local SEO that helps your website earn visibility over time — built into every Walker Internet Services monthly plan, and treated as ongoing work instead of a one-time setup.

How do I get my business to show up on Google?

Reliable Google visibility comes from technical SEO (a fast, crawlable, mobile-friendly site), on-page SEO (content matched to what people actually search for), and local SEO (an accurate Google Business Profile and consistent business information). It's ongoing work, not a switch you flip once.

Why isn't my website showing up in Google?

Common causes: the site is too new to be fully indexed, page titles and descriptions are missing or duplicated, content is thin or doesn't match real search terms, technical issues are blocking search engines, or competition for those terms is simply strong.

A free website check can flag several of these issues quickly.

How does local SEO work?

Local SEO targets searches tied to a location — "near me" searches or a specific city or town. It depends on an optimized Google Business Profile, consistent name/address/phone details across the web, locally relevant content, and reviews.

See our dedicated Local SEO page for more detail.

What is schema markup and do I need it?

Schema markup is structured code added to your site that explicitly tells search engines (and AI systems) what your business is, where it's located, and what your pages contain. It doesn't guarantee rankings, but it makes your content easier to interpret correctly — which is part of both SEO and AEO.

FAQ

SEO questions

How long does SEO take to work?
SEO is a gradual process — most businesses start seeing meaningful movement over a period of months, not days. Anyone promising guaranteed overnight rankings should be treated with caution.
Do you guarantee a #1 Google ranking?
No legitimate SEO provider can guarantee a specific ranking — Google's algorithm isn't controlled by any outside party. We can commit to sound technical, on-page and local SEO practices that give your site a genuine opportunity to compete.
Is SEO different from AEO?
Related but distinct. SEO focuses on traditional search engine rankings; AEO focuses on how AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews understand and summarize your business. See our AEO page for the difference.
