Amherst Website Design With a high Return On Investment

Web Design and SEO That Understands Your Audience

Welcome to our Western Massachusetts web design and SEO agency serving Amherst and the Pioneer Valley. We offer high converting web design and development that follows User Experience (UX) best practices, Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) principles and powerful on page SEO to get you results.

Is your website making as much money as it can for you?

Your website is likely the first impression potential customers get of your brand. If it looks outdated, loads slow, or fails to communicate your value, you are losing revenue before prospects ever reach out.

Here's what a high-converting website delivers:

Over the last 13 years, we have helped hundreds of businesses take control of their revenue. How? With a mix of conversion science, buyer psychology, SEO, and data, your new website will get attention and drive clicks, leading to more sales. Your site will build trust, and trust drives sales. We can help you become the leader in your industry.

Your website is your most important sales tool. It is often the first impression a potential customer has. A low-quality website makes your brand look low-quality. A bad website means customers will have less trust that you can solve the challenge they are looking to resolve.

Your new Radiant Elephant website will not just be beautiful. It will be functional and profitable. 90% of our web design clients see a positive ROI within 12 months. This increase in revenue comes from increased search rank and the website having a higher conversion rate.

Are you looking to optimize your revenue? Feel free to reach out, and we can discuss your project.

"Gabe's communication style is super thorough and clear. He puts a lot of thought, research, and care into his clients. He really went above and beyond, and his communication is as detailed as I am, which was impressive to me - it just really feels like you have a partner who's invested in your success. I couldn't be happier with the results. I 10 out of 10 recommend Radiant Elephant to any business owner."

Amherst SEO that gets you on Page 1 and keeps you there

Our Amherst Local SEO services are for businesses that service a specific geographic area, typically a town, city, or county. Local SEO is different than typical SEO because local searches rely on Google Maps ranking in conjunction with standard organic search ranking. The approach to local SEO also differs. The keywords tend to have lower search volumes, but the ranking factors are unique. Factors such as entity and geographic Schema, local links, site age, and the strength of the Google Business Profile all play a large role in local ranking.

Our Amherst SEO services start at $1,500/month and include everything you need to get your Google Maps listing in the 3 pack, and your website in the top positions for the most lucrative transactional keywords.

Google Maps is the most powerful local listing a business can have. There are a lot of tactics that go into increasing the ranking of a Google Business Profile. The main goal for Google Maps SEO is to get your listing to show up in the map pack, which is the 3 map listings that appear at the top of the page for most local search terms. The top 3 listings in Google Maps get over 40% of all the business related to the search. Many local searchers don't look past the map pack.

Ranking in Google's map pack takes a lot of factors into consideration. Proximity is a big one. The closer your listed business address is to the searcher or the closer you are to the heart of the downtown of the town or city searched for, the higher the placement can be. The optimization of the GBP itself plays a large role. Many business owners don't fill out all the information that is available. The number of Google reviews and the overall review aggregate rating play a large role.

I have been ranking GBP's for 10 years. I have a tested and proven strategy that gets my clients into the map pack quickly. If you're looking to seriously increase revenue for your business near Amherst, MA, Google Maps SEO is a great service.

National or Enterprise SEO is for businesses that are looking to rank far outside of Amherst, Western Massachusetts, or even the whole state. This is ideal for e-commerce brands, remote service businesses, and businesses with locations throughout the country.

When it comes to national keywords, the competition is much more intense. While a search for a local jewelry company might have 200 searches a month, a keyword for jewelry companies nationally could have 10,000 searches a month. Broader term = higher competition.

National SEO starts with serious on-page optimization followed by aggressive linkbuilding campaigns. The on page SEO creates the foundation for success, and the backlinks give the site the authority it needs to outshine the competition.

National SEO packages start at $3,500/month.

Both. Radiant Elephant, a web design agency in Amherst, Massachusetts, combines modern appeal, mobile-first design, data tracking, and UX design. We design websites that offer a top-notch user experience, high conversions, and improved search ranking. Your new site will tell your story while increasing your web presence and your revenue.

We specialize in a range of web design services and adjacent services. We offer web development, UX, Conversion Rate Optimization, SEO, Brand Identity Design, Digital Advertising, and more. Our Amherst marketing services also include Meta Advertising, Google Ads, Email Marketing, and the best SEO in the state.

We start with an in-depth consultation where we strive to learn about your goals and challenges. Then we create a detailed proposal outlining the timeline and budget, along with our plan to meet your goals and solve your challenges. Once approved, we begin designing your new website. You will get a modern, user-focused, search rank optimized website that tells your story while building trust with your visitors.

Once your new website is launched, we offer maintenance packages to fit your needs. Our monthly maintenance includes keeping everything updated and functioning properly. You can also get a more robust monthly plan to include website changes and anything you need to get the most our of your new website.

We are primarily a WordPress web design and development agency. Over the years, we have found that WordPress offers the most robust platform for business websites. Occasionally, we develop websites on Shopify. This is mainly for certain types of e-commerce websites. 

Our websites start at $5,500, and our average site is between $7,500-$10,000. While other web design agencies might seem to charge less, we include everything you need upfront so there are no surprises when it comes time for the final invoice. Every website includes: on-page SEO, contact forms, social media integration, image curation, graphic design, and much more. Every site is custom and tailored to your business goals. 

We offer and recommend website maintenance. Packages start at $150/month.

We do not offer hosting as a service. We have come across too many horror stories of former designers going AWOL or preventing a site from being moved. For this reason, we help you choose and set up the best hosting plan, but you own it and have admin access. 

It depends on the size of the site, functionality requirements, and our current project load. But most small sites are completed within 4-6 weeks. 

We serve Massachusetts, and specifically Western Massachusetts. Some towns we serve are: Northampton, Springfield, West Springfield, Easthampton, and Worcester
