Without a professional Google Strategy your company will never reach its full growth potential.
Our SEO-driven approach will untangle your fragmented marketing strategy and tie it all back to a new website engineered to generate leads and grow your business from the ground up.
Stress, Frustration And Tons of Wasted Time & Money
If you’re searching for “web design Kansas City” or “website designers near me”, you have likely already experienced some form of website pain, from poor customer service or lack of responsiveness to getting little or no return on your website investment.
But what you may not know is that most web designers in Kansas City and around the country are selling you “digital brochure” websites: they have right-brain beauty but no left-brain marketing science under the hood!
You need a website that manages the balance between great web design and great marketing strategy.
If you hire the wrong Kansas City web developers, you’ll end up with a design-driven website or worse: a pre-made WordPress theme or store-bought website template. This is a double-whammy because you’ll not only be overpaying, but you will have lost an important opportunity to grow your business.
Design-driven websites look good, but they do nothing to help you rank on Google, generate leads, or grow your business. But is your goal to win design awards, or win more customers?
We take a strategic approach to website development, and we are experts managing the balance between web design and Google search engine optimization (SEO) best-practices.
Don’t waste your marketing dollars on a half-brain website.

Exceptional In Every Way ...Took The Time To Understand Our Vision
“Kansas City Web Design & SEO has been an enormous asset to the American Business Women’s Association. They created a compelling, user-friendly website on time and on budget. Our members and sponsors alike are very pleased with the look and the functionality of the site. While we initially talked to several other web design agencies in Kansas City for this project, in the end, we chose this local web development company because they were the only firm that took the time to understand our vision and goals for the Association. The team at this digital marketing agency is exceptional in every way – from the initial consultation, through design, development, launch, and post-launch support.”

We Did Over $5M in Revenue the First 18 Months!
In my decade-long career as a Regional Sales Manager at James Hardie, I worked with hundreds of contractors across the country and when it came to marketing and lead generation, most of them felt frustrated or even burned by marketing companies. A general mistrust of marketers was the norm and still is to this day. Over the years at James Hardie, I met hundreds of marketing agencies, but only handful of marketing companies that could deliver solid, repeatable results that we could recommend to our contractors. But in this small group of standout marketers, Phil Singleton and his team at Kansas City SEO is a true marketing unicorn.
Their whole approach to marketing is so much different than the same SEO and digital marketing mumbo jumbo you hear over and over again. So when it came to starting my own business (Fairway Exteriors), I knew 100% I’d be calling on Phil and his team to build us an online lead machine. In our first year we went from a brand new website and brand with $0 in revenues to 7+ digits in the first six months! If you are in construction or any business really, and have the budget and patience to invest in a real website and marketing plan, Kansas City SEO is the partner you need to fast track your way to success.

My Only Regret Is Not Hiring Them Sooner!
I have worked with many digital agencies since I started The Purple Guys in 2001. No agency has ever come close to producing the ROI that the Kansas City Web Design & SEO generated for our business. The company is unmatched in creativity, service, responsiveness and ability to deliver tangible results in the form of leads and growth.
Their deliverables in terms of that amount of work they do in relation to the fees they charge makes hiring them an absolute no brainer – it’s like have your own in-house digital marketing agency. I dare you to find an agency that a combination of deliverables and results at their price point. SEO, SEM, Video, Blogs, Books, Social Media, Podcasts and more?!
My only regret is not hiring them sooner!

A proven process wrapped up in the best service ever
If you’re like 99% of all businesses, your real problem is strategy – not just your website or your marketing tactic of the week.
The main reason our clients become so successful is because our process helps them untangle their fragmented marketing activities, re-calibrates them with Google best-practices, and ties them all back together to an optimized website.
When your SEO-optimized website becomes the referral source for all of your content and marketing, you start to build generate the signals of Experience, Expertise, Authority and Trust that Google uses to rank your site, and your customers need to buy from you.
When you start marketing with strategy, you can create multiple wins with less dollars.
We use SEO research to take the guesswork out of marketing strategy, and use your customers’ search behavior to build an SEO-friendly website from the ground up.
How can you design your website or create its copy if you don’t know what questions your clients are asking, or what keywords they are searching online?
If you know your most important keywords, you can actually reverse engineer a website around your ideal customers’ search behavior.
Common sense, right?
But so many web developers in Kansas City and around the country pay little or no attention to SEO during the design process. In fact, most of them use pre-made websites and templates that are meant to make web development easy, not rank on Google.
So….you end up with a pretty website but no increases in leads or traffic. Or worse – you launch your new website and lose your rankings and the phone stops ringing.
We make high ROI web design easy by using marketing science and keyword research to guide the design process. Without a scientific approach, your site will be determined by the creative whims and subjective opinions of graphic designers.
We design sites based on Google’s best practices as defined in the Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines.
We also incorporate Storybrand principles into our layouts as well as our messaging and copy writing.
When you launch a new website, it’s not the end of your project, it’s the beginning of your marketing.
Our ideal clients partner with us for web design and SEO-driven growth marketing. After we develop your strategy, we’ll also help you with tactical execution.
On the day your new site launches, we will be off to the races! We will be creating videos, blogs and podcasts, and more than likely, helping you write your first book.
Many of our clients get an initial Google boost within 30-60 days after a new website launch, but it generally takes 3 to 6 months for minimum results, and 6 to 12 months or longer for more complete results.
SEO is a long game and an investment in the future. For those companies with the budget to finance a growth marketing strategy, AND the patience to execute SEO services over time, the payback it usually pretty incredible.
