We find the problem. You keep your developer.
SEO Doctor is a diagnostic firm. We audit your website across Google and AI search, tell you plainly what's holding it back, and hand the fix list to whoever already maintains your site. No retainer, no rebuild, no pressure to switch.
The firm that diagnoses shouldn't be the one selling the cure.
Most SEO companies audit your site for free, then quote you a monthly retainer to fix what they found. The incentive is obvious: the scarier the audit, the bigger the contract.
We took that incentive off the table. SEO Doctor doesn't do the implementation, so our only job is to be right. You get an honest diagnosis and a clear work order — and you decide who fixes it, on your timeline, at your cost.
What that means for you
- No retainer and no long-term contract
- Findings written for you, and for your webmaster
- No upsell — we don't sell the fixes
- Every finding labeled by how certain we are of it
Plain findings. Honest labels. No guessing dressed up as fact.
We label our certainty
Every finding is marked Verified, Directional, Pending, or Unconfirmed, so you and your developer always know how much weight to put on it before spending a dollar.
We check all three layers
Traditional search (SEO), answer engines (AEO), and AI search (GEO). Your next client might never see a Google results page — we make sure you're findable wherever they look.
We know the Lowcountry
We work with professional firms across Charleston, Summerville, and the South Carolina Lowcountry — markets where one good client is worth getting right.
Built by people who've done this a long time.
David Solomon
David has spent 27 years in search and digital marketing. He started SEO Doctor to do the one thing most agencies won't: give a straight diagnosis without selling the fix. SEO is not the same as it was 5 years ago. We strive to help businesses get more clients or customers.
Steve Redhead
Steve Redhead is the co-founder and CEO of SEO Doctor, a digital marketing firm with nearly 20 years of experience helping businesses get found online.
