EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. SEO doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try SEO” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
New York professional services is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
230,000 professional services firms compete in New York. Most aren't found.
New York's professional services market is densely competitive—finance, law, consulting, and advisory firms cluster in Midtown and the Flatiron District, all fighting for the same high-value leads. Unlike e-commerce or SaaS, professional services buying cycles are long and trust-dependent; clients spend weeks researching expertise before reaching out. SEO isn't a vanity play here—it's the difference between being the firm they call first or never hearing from prospects at all. Firms investing in SEO now own the Google real estate that matters; those who wait hand it to competitors.
The 3 places New York professional services brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 professional services brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
They ranked 15–20 for 'commercial real estate advisory New York' and similar high-intent keywords but got only 2–3 qualified inquiries per month. Competitors ranked 1–3, capturing the bulk of inbound leads. They'd hired a freelancer to 'do SEO' the year before with no results.
Mapped 40+ buyer-intent keywords (e.g., 'retail lease negotiation NYC,' 'office space strategy Manhattan') the firm's salespeople heard in actual client conversations—not volume keywords.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time SEO has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
After 6 months, your firm ranks on the first page of Google for keywords your ideal clients search. You own the search results in your niche, attract qualified leads consistently, and stop competing on price because prospects find you when they're actively looking.
Audit Your Current Position
We crawl your site and map every ranking keyword, backlink, and technical issue. Then we profile your top 3–5 competitors on Google to see exactly where you lose ground. For professional services firms in New York, we also assess your local/vertical authority—how visible you are in finance, law, consulting, or your specific niche.
Build Your SEO Strategy
We identify the keywords your ideal clients actually search—not volume, but intent. For a NYC law firm, that's 'corporate M&A attorney in Manhattan,' not 'lawyer.' We then map content and technical improvements that establish your authority in your niche and fix the gaps holding you back.
Implement On-Page & Technical SEO
We optimize your site's architecture, page structure, and metadata. We fix crawlability issues, improve page speed, and ensure your content answers the questions your prospects actually ask. This is the foundation—without it, no amount of content or links will move the needle.
Create Authority Content
We build pillar content (guides, case studies, thought leadership pieces) that showcase your expertise and link internally to service pages. For professional services, content is your credibility asset—it proves you know your market, your clients, and your solutions better than competitors.
Build Authority Through Strategic Links
We secure high-quality backlinks from relevant industry publications, partner sites, and local New York business resources. For professional services, backlinks signal credibility—journalists, directories, and peers linking to you tells Google (and prospects) you matter.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.

“Month-to-month contracts and no lock-in wasn't just a selling point — it forced them to earn our business every month. They always did.”
Emma S.
CEO · Professional Services, $6M revenue
“We'd tried two SEO agencies before. Both gave us dashboards and monthly reports with no movement. Omakaase told us what was actually broken in week one and fixed it. Six months in, we're on page one for every term that matters.”
Sarah M.
Head of Marketing · NYC Retail Brand, $4M revenue
“By month three, our main product keyword hit Page 1. By month six, we cut Google Ads spend by 40% because organic was finally doing its job. That's the real test.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long before we see results?
Most clients see their first page-one rankings (positions 1–10) within 8–12 weeks for medium-difficulty keywords. High-value, competitive terms take 4–6 months. We're transparent about timeline from day one—if an agency promises faster, they're likely using risky tactics that backfire.
Is SEO worth the investment for a professional services firm?
Yes, if your ideal clients search on Google (they do). The average professional services firm in New York spends $6,500/month on digital marketing and sees poor ROI because they're not ranking where it matters. SEO compounds: once you rank, you keep getting leads without daily ad spend. For a firm closing 1–2 clients/month at $50K+ contract value, one extra client per quarter pays for a year of SEO.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. Anyone who guarantees Google rankings is either lying or using black-hat tactics that will get you penalized. We guarantee effort, strategy, and transparent reporting. What we've consistently delivered: page-one rankings for 60–75% of target keywords within 6 months, and measurable lead growth within 4–5 months.
What if we already have an SEO person or agency?
We'll audit what they're doing and be honest about whether it's working. Many firms have freelancers or agencies spinning wheels on low-impact tasks. If your current provider isn't delivering measurable traffic and lead growth within 6 months, it's worth exploring a different approach. We can take over existing work or complement what's already in motion.
How much does SEO cost?
SEO retainers for professional services firms typically range $3,500–$8,500/month depending on the scope (competitive keywords, content needs, link-building intensity). This is usually lower than paid search budgets for comparable lead volume, and the value increases over time. We'll customize a proposal after your audit.
