Atlanta has been a business hub for a long time now. However, in recent times, new businesses have seen a significant uptick. 2023 saw record number of new business filings. In January of 2023 alone, 26,520 new businesses were registered – in the state of Georgia.
A majority, if not all of these businesses, I assume, look for some form of digital marketing and SEO is generally part of that mix. So, with all these new businesses, or ones that have been operating for decades, searching for the best Atlanta SEO company, I thought a good roundup and review would be helpful.
Before we get into the list, it’s important to understand what you want out of SEO. If you are a retailer and are looking for more foot traffic into your store – then you want an agency that’s great at local SEO. If you want to grow traffic and leads to your website then you want more of a digital marketing SEO.
In some cases, there’d be a blend. Even if you were looking for foot traffic, you probably want to drive visitors to your site so they can discover you.
