About

We Bring You Targeted, Organic Search Engine Traffic.

Lockedown SEO helps manufacturers in the US and Canada with 250k to 50M annual revenue improve their SEO and search rankings. We specialize in helping industrial, manufacturing, and other blue-collar companies drive more natural search traffic to their sites.

Based in Sacramento, California, we’ve helped businesses across the US launch and improve their websites workflow, boost their sales, and rank higher in Google. Since 2012, we’ve been dedicated to helping our client companies improve their lead generation.

Organic Google Traffic

There are a few things we do extremely well.

SEO for manufacturing and industrial companies. We’ve drastically improved the rankings of several businesses both here in Sacramento, and across the country. This has made a huge difference to their revenue. You can read our case studies here, or read about SEO insights on our blog.

In-depth SEO audits. Many web agencies offering SEO will use an automated tool to give you a two page report as a lead generation tool. For most companies, that doesn’t get to the root of the problem. For that reason, we offer professional SEO audits that go into excruciating detail, and give you a six-month roadmap for making real progress, complete with a list of exactly what you need to fix. (Most of our SEO audits are 40-60 pages in length.)

Custom WordPress theme development. We’ve launched over 150 custom-built WordPress websites since late 2012. Unlike most of our competitors, we build custom themes. Many agencies rely on pre-built, bloated, $59 theme templates, which they then try to pass off as unique.

When you need a one-of-a-kind WordPress theme, or custom WordPress functionality, reach out and contact us instead.

Manufacturing in Small Town

Our background gives us a unique advantage.

Our blue-collar background. Most web agency owners went straight from school into web design. Our founder, John Locke worked in blue-collar jobs for nearly two decades before launching Lockedown SEO.

We understand what it means to put in an honest day’s work, and what challenges you face running a business that relies on sales, not web design awards.

Keeping the marketing jargon to a minimum. We try not to bore you with talk about pixels, fonts, and code. We talk in plain language that normal people can comprehend.

Web development and SEO under one roof. Many agencies you will run into specialize in one or the other. We can do both.

This means your website won’t have to be handed off to an SEO agency when it launches. The SEO and web development will be built into your project from the beginning.

Measuring the return on your investment. Your marketing budget should have a positive impact. Your website is your primary tool for driving your marketing and sales, and we never forget that. We believe in continual improvement, and delivering measurable revenue from your SEO campaigns.
