NEW YORK & PITTSBURGH - BostonChron -- ProStrategix is a full-service-digital marketing digital marketing agency headquartered in New York City, providing local SEO services for the greater NYC and Pittsburgh metro areas.

We are proud to announce that DesignRush has named us one of their top SEO agencies in February.

It's fairly well known that about 4 out of 5 searchers never move past the first page of search results. In fact, only 3 out of 4 go beyond the top 5. This why ranking well is so important to businesses.

"We love helping our clients improve their local SEO in NYC and their local SEO in Pittsburgh. I grew up and in Pittsburgh, and NYC has been my adopted home for over 20 years," said Brian Cairns, CEO ProStrategix.

Since smaller businesses have difficulty competing nationally against larger businesses and brands, local SEO can help level the playing field. When competing to rank in Google's Local 3 Pack (see image), proximity and local relevance matter.

"Relevance matters. Knowing the region is key," Cairns continues, "having family in Pittsburgh and by living in NYC, we have a special love for both places."

DesignRush ranked the companies that specialize in helping websites rank higher on search engines, driving organic traffic, and growing brand visibility.

"We were thrilled to be recognized for the great work we do for our clients," said Cairns.
