Why is a Colombian SEO partner a good fit for LA agencies?
Because Colombia is two to three hours ahead of Los Angeles, so work starts before your team logs on and the afternoons still overlap for live calls. LA agencies get senior SEO under their brand, a head start on each day and pricing that leaves room for margin in an expensive market.
A head start each morning
Tasks move before Pacific business hours begin.
Shared afternoons
Your late morning and early afternoon overlap with my working day.
Service-area SEO
Planning for clients who serve many cities across the county.
Invisible to clients
Your brand on every deliverable, NDA first.
What is the time difference with Los Angeles?
Colombia stays on UTC-5 all year. Los Angeles uses Pacific time, so Colombia is three hours ahead in winter and two hours ahead in summer. A Pacific morning from 9:00 to noon lines up with a Colombian midday and afternoon, which leaves several shared hours for calls every day.
Colombia observes UTC-5 all year with no daylight saving changes, per timeanddate.com.
Local SEO for a county of 88 cities
Los Angeles County has 88 incorporated cities, and more than 65 percent of its land is unincorporated, according to the County of Los Angeles. Many clients serve customers across several of those cities, so local work defines real service areas instead of stuffing city names. Service-area businesses follow Google's service area rules, and each city page must say something useful for that city. More in white label local SEO.
What about California privacy rules?
I only ask for the access the work needs and remove it the day we stop. The California Consumer Privacy Act gives residents rights over their personal information and applies to for-profit businesses above certain thresholds, so if your agency or its clients are covered, your data terms can be added to our contract.
The California Attorney General explains who is covered in its CCPA overview. This is general information, not legal advice.
Start with one LA client
Plans are $1,000, $1,750 and $2,500 per client per month, billed in US dollars. For busy months, overflow SEO support adds capacity without a hire. Read how the model works in nearshore SEO, see white label SEO for US agencies, or start at the white label SEO services page.
Frequently asked questions
Is the time difference a problem for LA agencies?
No. Colombia is only two to three hours ahead, so most of the Pacific morning and midday is shared.
Can you handle clients in several LA County cities?
Yes, with real service areas and useful city pages, never doorway pages.
Do you follow CCPA requirements?
Access is limited and removed at the end, and your data terms can be added to the contract.
Are invoices in dollars?
Yes, monthly in USD by wire transfer, Global66 or PayPal.
Can we start with one client?
Yes. One pilot client is the recommended start.
