the Ticket Queue
Hooten Design + Technology provides SEO services for Boulder County businesses: technical SEO, on-page and content work, Google Business Profile and local search, and AI/generative search (GEO) readiness. Month one is a $3,500 audit and 12-month roadmap; ongoing work runs $2,000–$3,000 per month (Momentum) or $4,000–$5,000 per month (Aggressive). Boulder commercial queries are lower-volume but high-intent, so the program targets conversion-ready terms rather than raw search volume.
Boulder is a small market with unusually sophisticated competition. Climate tech, life sciences, outdoor brands, and CU spinouts here often have strong content instincts and technical teams, which means winning search locally is rarely about publishing more, and almost always about publishing better and structuring the site so those pages can actually compete.
We approach SEO as a build discipline rather than a reporting one. Because we design and develop websites, technical findings get implemented instead of recommended: crawl and index issues, Core Web Vitals, structured data, URL architecture, and the internal linking that decides which of your pages Google treats as important.
Working from Lafayette, minutes from downtown Boulder, we cover the searches that matter in a market this size: service-plus-place queries across Boulder, Louisville, Longmont, Niwot, Erie, and Superior; category and comparison terms for product companies; and the specific technical and scientific long-tail that Boulder's research-adjacent organizations own by right but often fail to structure for.
We are direct about what SEO can and cannot do here. Boulder's commercial search volumes are modest: a good local term might see 100 to 200 monthly searches, so the return comes from intent quality rather than traffic volume. If you need scale, the national and category terms are the play. If you need the right ten buyers a month, local search is extremely efficient. Need the site itself rebuilt first?

Boulder audiences bounce off filler content immediately. Every page we publish has to justify existing on craft, not keyword coverage.

Technical Subject Matter Comfort
We have written and structured content for research, climate, and life-science organizations without dumbing it down or getting it wrong.
Senior-Led Throughout
The person who audits your site is the person who fixes it. No account-management layer in between.
