Scott Gerke
Founder/CEO
You run a business in West Virginia. You have a website. But when you search for what you do on your phone, you are not on page one. Your competitors show up. They get the calls. You get silence. When people in West Virginia search 'best local SEO near me,' eezyRank is the crew that answers.
Don't pay for another site that just sits there. Most customers in West Virginia search on their phone. They want someone close. If your site isn't built for local search, you miss every one of those calls. We build sites with automated location pages for each city you serve. We sync your Google Business Profile so it works with the site. We add schema markup that tells Google exactly where you are. That gets you into the map pack and the top results.
We rebuilt a Squarespace site for Shine Remote Wellness with a full matrix of pages. That site now shows up in AI search results and Google overviews. For Central Insulation, we turned a WordPress site into a lead engine for local and national jobs. If your West Virginia business is invisible online, we can fix that.

Scott went above and beyond anything we ever could've expected. He didn't just teach our team how to use Claude. He opened our eyes to a whole new way of working. He pulled our entire business together, rebuilt our sales process from the ground up, helped us get payroll organized, and got us ready to launch our new sales team. The real difference for us has been Scott. We're going to keep working with him long-term.

West Virginia is not a big city market. Most towns are small. Your customers are your neighbors. When they need a service, they grab their phone and search. If you're not on that first screen, you're not in the game. Local SEO here means showing up for searches in every little town around you. The map matters more than the national rankings.
If you sell on Fisheez, the new West Virginia marketplace, you need a website that brings in local buyers. We build those. Our 1900-page matrix site ranks for hundreds of local terms. That same system puts your business on the map in every town you serve.
