A Los Angeles SEO agency that wins the neighborhood, not the skyline

Velour Web is a developer-led SEO agency working in Los Angeles half of every month, in person from Santa Monica to Pasadena, the Valley, Downtown, Long Beach and the South Bay. Los Angeles is dozens of markets, and the citywide terms are owned by directories and firms with hundreds of reviews, so we build for the neighborhood searches customers actually make: a page per service and per area, answer-first with prices, schema generated from the page data, a Business Profile with the right neighborhoods, AI crawlers allowed, and the review, directory and LinkedIn presence that gets a business named by ChatGPT and Google's AI. Sites $3,000 to $25,000; growth plans from Growth 1000 in LA, with exclusivity in your area; prices published and a competition check shown before any proposal.

Why the neighborhood is the strategy in Los Angeles

'SEO agency Los Angeles', 'dentist Los Angeles', 'contractor Los Angeles': every citywide term is red on our competition check, owned by Clutch, Yelp and the largest firms. Nobody searches that way for a service anyway. They search 'dentist Pasadena', 'plumber Sherman Oaks', 'remodeler Culver City', and AI engines answer those from neighborhood pages. Most LA businesses have one homepage and a Yelp listing. A site with a real page for each neighborhood it serves, written for that place, is the whole opening, and we have built our own that way: Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Culver City, Long Beach, Torrance, West Hollywood, the Valley, Downtown, Silver Lake and Koreatown.

What the work is in LA

The same seven parts as everywhere, scoped to neighborhoods and to the directories LA searchers use.

Research: the neighborhood-level words and the questions asked of ChatGPT and Gemini for your trade.
Page map: a page per service and per neighborhood served, doorway-guarded so none is a copy.
Answer-first pages with prices, FAQ and Offer schema, a named owner, real job photos with the neighborhood in the caption.
Technical: sub-second, server-rendered, entity schema with sameAs to the Business Profile and the trade directories (Healthgrades, Avvo, Houzz, The Knot, Clutch), sitemaps in Google and Bing, AI crawlers allowed, llms.txt.
Business Profile: categories, services, the LA neighborhoods in the service area, photos, posts, reviews that name the neighborhood.
Presence: the owner's LinkedIn, useful answers in r/LosAngeles, r/AskLosAngeles and the area subreddits where threads ask, one local mention a year.
Measurement: tracking number, forms, Business Profile calls, Search Console and a 30-prompt neighborhood-level AI panel, on one page a month.

What it costs in Los Angeles

Sites $3,000 to $8,000 for a business with a few services in one area, $8,000 to $25,000 for multi-neighborhood sites. LA competition runs a tier above San Diego County, so growth plans start at Growth 1000 for most categories and Growth 2000 for yellow ones, and both include exclusivity: one client per industry per area (the Westside, the Valley, Downtown and Eastside, South Bay LA, Glendale-Burbank-Pasadena). Care is $99 a month. The competition check and the break-even in calls a month come before any proposal.

Categories we will not take in LA

Personal injury and immigration law, plastic surgery and med spas near Beverly Hills, real estate agents, mortgage and insurance, addiction treatment, movers, locksmiths, solar. The top ten for those are national aggregators and 500-review firms, and growth money is better spent on referrals or ads. We build the site on care and say why.

In person, half of every month

Alexey is in Los Angeles half of every month and meets clients at their business or nearby for the kickoff, the design review and the quarterly numbers. CHIC Flowers, whose 150-page site ranks in Los Angeles on venue and neighborhood pages, is the LA proof; our own twelve LA pages are the demonstration.
