St Louis SEO is a wide open niche
I like reading posts from other St Louis web people.
Some are really knowledgeable and straight forward like Erin Eschen.
Others are slightly shady seo people like Will Hanke.
They are all fun reads for me, regardless.
In any case, Will pointed out recent news about Google removing the Local search results for web design and seo firms for related searches.
He states:
No longer will 6 incompetent SEOs be listed alongside my name
This got me curious.
I searched Google for St Louis SEO.
Will ranks #1. Hm…
How competitive is this niche?
www.seostlouis.com and www.stlouis-seo.com both are listed on the first SERP page.
Why is that an interesting barometer for the competitiveness of the St Louis SEO niche?
They are both WordPress installations with no content.
If its really that wide open, I’m tempted to freelance.
Free money.

Matt-
That’s wild. I wonder why Google would go out of their way to exclude the local search results for seo and web design related searches, yet adding “in” brings them back into play.
Interesting find.
We got a lot of traffic from the local search results.

@Tim
I totally agree with you. The niche is wide open when it comes to actually ranking for the terms you listed. I think people in the St. Louis market are just beginning to “catch up” with the rest of the world regarding SEO.
Here’s a shameless plug in case you are looking for a legitimate SEO company with references in the St. Louis area.
