Short company description:
Dapper Codes is an SEO agency in upstate South Carolina, run by Kelly Gordon since 2015. We work with law firms and local service businesses. Every engagement starts with a full diagnostic of the site, followed by the fixes it calls for, then ongoing growth through content, PR with Google News distribution, and Google Business Profile management. We also build websites and oversee paid search. We judge our work by the clients it brings in, and our clients own their website, hosting, and accounts from day one.
If you had one message to get across to future customers, what would it be?
Judge SEO by the clients it brings in. Rankings and traffic reports mean nothing if your phone is not ringing. Before you pay for more content, get your site diagnosed and find out what is actually holding it back.
What differentiates you from the competition?
We diagnose before we do anything else. We target searches that can become a client, consolidate pages instead of piling on more, and judge the work by signed clients. Clients own their site, hosting, and accounts from day one.
