SEO in Costa Rica: get found when people search

Technical and content work so Google understands what your business does, where it does it and why it should show you. No tricks that cost you later.

  • Costa Rican team since 2020
  • We work in English
  • No purchased links, ever
  • Written reports

What the work actually involves

1. Technical SEO

The foundation, and where most sites fail: load speed and Core Web Vitals, heading structure, unique metadata per page, clean URLs, correct canonicals, Schema.org structured data, XML sitemap, robots.txt and redirects that do not lose the authority a domain already earned.

2. Content that matches how people search

Your customers do not use your industry's vocabulary. A hotel writes "boutique accommodation"; the traveler types "places to stay near Manuel Antonio park". We research the real phrasing — in English and Spanish — and build a page for each intent instead of one page trying to cover everything.

3. Local presence

Google Business Profile with the right categories, services, hours and photos; consistent name, phone and address everywhere; and a steady flow of real reviews. For anything with a physical location, this moves faster than anything else.

What we do not do

No purchased links, no private blog networks, no hidden text, no fake reviews, no structured data describing things that do not exist. All of it works for a while and then sinks the domain. If that is what you are shopping for, we are not your provider.

Ranking in AI answers, not just blue links

A growing share of people ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI summary instead of clicking through. You cannot buy your way into those answers, but you can make your business the source they trust: direct, verifiable answers with real numbers; correct structured data; the same business facts on your site, your Google profile and every directory; original content with visible authorship; and a site that loads without heavy scripts.

We build AI agents as part of our own business, so this is not a trend we read about — it is how the systems we work with actually choose their sources.

We work remotely across the country, and these areas have a page of their own in English: Escazú, Santa Ana, San José, Tamarindo, Nosara and Jacó — the full list is on the web design page.

Frequently asked questions

How long until I see results?

Technical fixes and a Google Business Profile can move local visibility within weeks. Ranking for competitive terms usually takes three to six months of sustained work. Anyone promising page one in two weeks is not being straight with you.

Do you guarantee first position on Google?

No, and no honest provider can — Google decides rankings. What we guarantee is correct technical work, honest content and a documented report of what was done.

My customers are abroad, not in Costa Rica. Does local SEO still matter?

Your Google Business Profile still matters for credibility and reviews, but the heavy lifting shifts to content and international search: how travelers or buyers phrase things in their own language and country, which is not the same as translating your Spanish pages.

Do you do link building?

Only legitimate links: real mentions, Costa Rican business directories, partnerships, and credit on the client sites we build. We do not buy links or use private blog networks — that is exactly what gets a domain penalized.

What about AI search — ChatGPT, Gemini, AI overviews?

More people now ask an AI instead of clicking links. There is no button to buy your way into those answers, but you can be the source they trust: direct verifiable answers, correct structured data, consistent business information everywhere, and original content with real authorship. We build AI agents ourselves, so we know what these systems look for.

How much does SEO cost in Costa Rica?

Our packages start at $500 for the audit, technical fixes and Google Business Profile; $500 with keyword research, service pages and blog; and $1,000 for sustained work with monitoring and link building. Single-page optimization is $15 per page.
