An SEO Agency With Michigan Roots

A Team of Real Smart Cookies

That's an SEO joke. Get it? Cookies? Like on websites? ...never mind.

Avalanche has spent over a decade building SEO strategies for Michigan businesses, including companies that serve the southeast Michigan market. We know how to compete in markets where the bar is high because we set the bar even higher for ourselves.

We start every engagement with research specific to your market, and we leave our assumptions at the door and design a strategy for you. Because you're a smart cookie, too.

Local SEO in Ann Arbor, MI

Be Where Your Customers Want to Find You

Google is still king of the search engines. And it gives you three spots to compete for and catch your customer's eye:

Google's Map Pack: The top 3 local listings with the map and stars
Organic results: The links below the map
Google's AI Overview: AI-generated summaries at the top of the page

Getting in these listings doesn't take magic. But it sure does feel like it when you see yourself outranking the competition.

Target Your Entire Service Area

Obviously you want to target Ann Arbor proper. But what if your customers live in Ypsilanti? Or Dexter? Or Whitmore Lake? Wouldn't it be great if they searched "____ near me" and landed on a page on your site specifically focused on their town? We make that happen.

From "Near Me" to New Lead

We don't forget about those customers who don't search with a city name at all, just a query or a problem. Google is smart enough to get them to the right place, and we make sure your website is that right place.

Rooted in the Community

Avalanche is Michigan-born and raised. Heck, one of our account directors lives in Ann Arbor! (So if you see him at Vault of Midnight, try not to fanboy too hard.) So you'll find us contributing to the community, because we prioritize happy communities, not merely happy clients.

What We Do

We Will, We Will, Rock You (and Your Customers)

Everything we do is geared toward the same outcome: getting your phone to ring. A lot. Seriously, one of our clients has over 200 calls a day!

SEO

If your lead pipeline currently feels like the ending of Rocky, then we make it feel like the ending of Rocky II. We research your market, identify the searches worth targeting, and develop content that climbs the SERPs every month.

Content Writing

We still believe in good writing. In fact, it's at the heart of everything we do. Our content team combines SEO strategy brainpower with creative and journalistic writing experience to create content that your customers (and search engines) will eat right up.

Web Design

If your current website leaves you underwhelmed, it's probably doing the same to your customers. (Sorry.) We design lightning-fast, gorgeous websites that give your business the best real estate in the internet neighborhood.

Our Process

Speed. Agility. SEO.

You want to know what needs to change on your website. Great! That's exactly what the Strategy Plan uncovers. Every SEO engagement begins with it: a full audit of your website, competitors, and search market. You get a priority fix list (that we tackle) and long-term recommendations. We get excited about working with you.

From there, most clients move into monthly SEO that includes fresh content, technical improvements, and outcome-based reporting.

The Strategy Plan

Website audit: Find what's hurting your rankings
Competitor analysis: See what's working for the competition
Keyword research: Map the terms your customers actually search
Content analysis: Identify gaps and opportunities
A complete roadmap: Prioritized and ready to execute

Strategy Plans start at $5,000 (one-time). Monthly SEO starts at $2,500/mo.
