Frequently Asked Questions

What is SEO?

Search engine optimization (SEO) encompasses a range of strategies designed to enhance a website’s visibility on search engine results pages (SERPs), especially on Google. SEO enables you to drive more organic, unpaid traffic to your website from search engines.


When potential customers search for businesses like yours on Google, SEO is what helps them find and pick you versus your competitors.

Does my business need SEO?

Yes, most businesses benefit greatly from SEO. Organic search results from SEO attract customers who are actively looking for what you offer, and most people search for products and services on Google before making a purchase.

A solid digital marketing strategy often combines both pay-per-click ads and SEO, helping build your brand while connecting you with engaged, interested customers.

Can StoryHeart Media adapt to my needs?

Yes, we offer a range of packages tailored to different needs, all of which can be customized with added services like Google Ads management, video tutorial sessions, and print media design.

Why should I manage SEO, social media, ads, and email marketing all in one place?

When your marketing efforts are scattered across different platforms, your message can feel disjointed, leaving customers confused. By handling SEO, social media, ads, and email marketing together, we create a seamless, cohesive experience for your audience. Our unified approach ensures every piece works together to drive results that truly matter.
