About The Local Cheetah Coalition
Cheetahs are one of the only wild cats that live in groups. These groups are known as “coalitions.”
These coalitions generally spend their days hunting, protecting their territory, and sleeping…a lot. However, there’s one coalition that does things differently. At Local Cheetah, our team is laser-focused on helping businesses succeed in the digital landscape. While other SEO agencies spend their time trying to figure out clever ways to trick the Google algorithm, we focus on what actually works; helpful content and building your brand’s authority.
SEO By Kentuckians, For Kentuckians
We drink bourbon and Ale 8. We walked around barefoot when we were kids. We support local breweries. And we never host a cookout without a big bag of Grippos.
The bluegrass state is our home, and we’re dedicated to helping Kentucky businesses thrive. Our founder was born in Lexington and currently lives in Mt. Sterling, Ky. After four years of working as a manager and process improvement specialist for one of the world’s largest e-commerce companies, he left to pursue his dream of becoming a voice actor. Long story short; it didn’t pan out. But along the way, he started a voiceover blog that did surprisingly well, leading him to pursue a career in writing.
After working as a copywriter for two years, he slowly began transitioning from standard articles to SEO-optimized ones. Over time, he took on an active role in managing the SEO strategy for a product review website with over 10,000 pages. Two more years passed and he found himself working virtually for a local SEO firm based in Colorado. It took roughly a year and a half for him to be promoted to “Director of SEO” at the firm.
Now, he brings these years of experience to his home state.
What Makes Us Different?
We Optimize For Humans (You'll Hear This A Lot After You Hire Us)
Many “SEO agencies” will try to sell you on stuffing a keyword on your site a million times to make you rank. They’ll tell you that they need to disavow your “toxic backlinks” and make 50+ pages targeting all of your surrounding cities. Our advice: when they try to sell you on all these ideas without ever mentioning how their strategies will make your site more helpful to the end user, it’s time for you to run the other way.
Google’s algorithm has over 40,000 ranking signals, and all of them have one thing in common: They’re used to determine whether your page will create a better experience for the searcher. So, what is the most important ranking signal? It’s simple. Just make your website good.
We optimize for Google’s E-E-A-T signals (experience, expertise, authority, and trustworthiness) and think of unique ways to make your site more helpful than your competitors’ sites. As a wise man once said, “there are no SEO hacks, but there are plenty of hack SEOs.” We aren’t hack SEOs….that’s what makes us different.
