About us

Who we are: a Palo Alto SEO company that shows its work

SEOGorillas®, a Canadian digital marketing team that serves US clients remotely, runs SEO Palo Alto. We keep no office in Palo Alto and do not pretend to. Instead, this Palo Alto SEO company does one job: it helps businesses that serve Palo Alto, California get found on Google Search and Google Maps. We also make sure the website behind the listing turns a reader into an inquiry.

Palo Alto incorporated in 1894, counted 68,572 residents in 2020 and sits in one of the most expensive housing markets in the country. Stanford University and Stanford Health Care are by far the largest employers, and the daytime population tops 100,000. As a result, customers here tend to research first, weigh reviews and ask how things work. For that reason, we explain our method, share the data and let you check it in your own accounts.

The businesses we work for keep daily life here running. They include dentists and orthodontists, therapists and clinics, agents who know the Eichler tracts, remodelers and architects, and law and accounting firms. Tutors and private schools, studios and salons, and hotels that host hospital visitors are on the list too. So are the shops on University Avenue and the trades fitting heat pumps and EV chargers.

How our Palo Alto SEO company works

First, we read the searches. Every plan starts from live Google suggestions for your trade, including the street and neighborhood words people add, such as California Avenue, Midtown or Barron Park. Then we give each search worth winning one page, and we explain the reasoning before anything changes.

After that, the work happens in accounts you own: your Business Profile, your website and, on the Pro plan, your Google Ads account. We follow Google’s own SEO Starter Guide rather than shortcuts it warns against. Finally, each month brings a report of calls, form leads, direction requests and positions, with sources you can verify.

What we will and will not promise

We will not promise a top-three map spot, because Google decides positions and they shift with where the searcher stands. Nor will we write reviews, post in forums for you or translate your pages, although we do set up multilingual page structure. What we do promise is plain reporting, billing in US dollars with plans you can cancel any month, and an honest answer when SEO is not the right spend.

  • Keyword research from what Palo Alto actually types, University Avenue, California Avenue and neighborhood names included
