Reviews
Great Team and Company to work with
Beth is our go-to for anything website related. She’s super quick and always comes through for us. Highly recommend.
I have known and worked with Beth and her team for more than a dozen years at a few different companies. We have rebranded websites, optimized our SEO and AI capabilities, and built complex functionality to drive traffic. Beth is a master in understanding the nuances (and there are many) of Google algorithms. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my site and neither should you!
We have been working with Vertical Web for nearly 25 years. That length of time should be a statement in itself. Over the years, we have designed, built, and marketed dozens of websites. Some of the projects were more challenging than the others, but we always came up with a solution. Vertical Web has an experienced staff that stays on top of the ever-changing hosting, development, and marketing landscapes. They are also taking an ongoing interest in your success by supporting clients after the project has been completed. Would we recommend Vertical Web...yes!
When I started my business 15 years ago, Vertical Web designed my website and optimized it for Google. Through the years they have made the changes and ensured my site stayed running and secure for over a decade now.
I’ve worked with Vertical Web on several projects and they’ve consistently been excellent. Their team is professional, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to explain things clearly, no matter how complex the task. They’re responsive, efficient, and deliver fast turnarounds, even on large or challenging projects. What I appreciate most is their steady communication and willingness to collaborate. They’re always respectful, easy to work with, and bring a great attitude to everything they do. It’s been a real advantage having a team like this on our side.
After hiring the wrong company in my first year of business, I was lucky enough to get in contact with Beth at vertical web. They manage my SEO, Web Design and Pay Per click. They’re constantly adding content and changing things based on demand. I’ve already noticed a difference in the number of patients scheduled and I’ve only just begun my SEO journey. Very grateful to have found them!
Beth and team do a great job helping my business Evident Pros in West Houston/Katy gain traction with their expert SEO, marketing, content, and website advisory services. I've gotten several leads in the last few weeks thanks to the hard work of the Vertical Web team.
Vertical Web in Kingwood, TX has been an absolute game-changer for my business! Their SEO services are top-notch — they helped optimize my website and got my pages ranking locally in a highly competitive market. Their team is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly committed to delivering results. I’ve seen a noticeable increase in traffic and leads thanks to their expertise. If you’re looking for real SEO that works, I highly recommend Vertical Web!
Beth Guide and her staff, Monica and Sara are incredible! They created a beautiful website for our company and are very attentive to our requests. Everything requested gets done within the day! Beth also provides very informative classes the last Wednesday of every month which are very helpful and beneficial! Highly recommend her services!

Why Web Hosting and Web Design Matter for Solid Search Engine Optimization Success
Defining your Digital Marketing Goals Should Always be First
Since our very first client, the phrase, “I have a website, now I want to do SEO,” jumped out at us. And still to this day when we meet business owners in our Houston SEO workshops, or we get a call about the SEO services we can provide, we often find they arrive after they have chosen a web hosting company or paid to have a website designer build a website.
We learned long ago that these items were not all mutually exclusive if your goal was to have a website that appeared high on a search engine. When we started our journey, it was websites like Yahoo and Alta Visa, but now Google is the most predominant search engine on the planet, with over 85% of all internet searches starting with Google or YouTube.
Sign Up a Web Host – Hire a Web Designer
For the last 20+ years, these services or verticals, web hosting, web design and SEO were viewed and sold as specialty items. So often, you would find a web designer who had a preferred web host. Or, you purchased a web hosting plan and asked the designer to use your existing account. But it was rare to find a service provider that did both, after all, these were two different skills sets. Major corporations had it worse because often their IT guy set up the hosting and then made it very difficult for any marketing department to actually build a viable website.
Find an SEO Company
The next step inevitably is to find an SEO company and talk to them about improving your website. In the early days that was easy, a title tag here, some keyword stuffing there. Add a dash of meta keywords and you were off and running. You didn’t really need to depend on your web host or really your designer, and keeping it all in one place was a convenient thing rather than an absolute must. Today it’s an absolute must. Keep reading to find out why.

Web Design and SEO
Bottom line, how a website is designed has a direct affect on SEO. It wasn’t always that way but it is now and that is all that matters. Sometimes we are lucky enough to get the call before the website is built but more often, we meet someone after they have a running website and are wondering why they are not gaining any traction with it.
Finding a web designer that knows SEO is somewhat difficult really. Many talk about title tags, and keywords and sound smart. But that is where the knowledge stops, unfortunately. In addition, web designer tools also profess to be search engine friendly, but all they really mean is that you can add a title tag. Beyond bloated code, technical seo elements are ignored.
Web Hosting And SEO
Finally Google agrees with us that web hosting has a direct impact on how well your site ranking is. We have long understood this, but with the advent of Core Vitals the need for a service that provide SEO Web Hosting is now more important than ever. You cannot just go with who your design company recommends. And, in most cases industry leading web hosting companies, the names you know, fall wildly short on meeting the Core Vital Standards. Furthermore with them it is cost prohibitive. With us, we need those tools anyway and include. We need that architecture anyway so we build our servers to meet Google’s standards. Every Vertical Web client benefits from us being SEO experts, regardless if you buy SEO services from us.

Web Design and Development
that stands out in the crowd
A solid Web Design solution should create a website that stands out from the crowd, but it also needs to be the backbone of a solid SEO strategy.
Coordinated Web Design and Digital Marketing is a must for a successful web presence, but many web designers do not understand this, and many SEO companies do not care past Google. Whether it is simple WordPress web design or complex custom development, it takes an experienced web design firm to properly execute the project, meet deadlines and maintain brand integrity, all while increasing visibility.
Choosing Vertical Web for our website was the smartest thing we could have done. The staff could not have been more helpful, they answered every question, and walked us through any issues we had. We were new to having a website, and we could not have made a better choice. They helped us grow our business and taught us the importance of SEO. The very best in customer service.

Smart Solutions for
Web Hosting and Domain Registration
Picking the right web hosting provider and domain name is a critical decision each business must make. Often small business owners take the cheapest option, not realizing how big a role a web host plays in reaching the goals of a website.
A web hosting company must provide each client with fast, dependable and scalable hosting solutions. Businesses should be able to depend on their hosting partner to help solve the complex problems, as well as provide top notch security. Whether the business needs a basic website, cloud hosting, WordPress web hosting or a dedicated server, we can scale to any situation.
Trusting us to host your website means having a partner you can depend on.,
Since 2006, I’ve had the pleasure to do business Beth and her team.
The staff were down-to-earth and patient. Their pricing was fair and affordable.
Response time was prompt. With Vertical Web, I felt that I had a team behind me,
and today, I know I do. I look forward to another 17 years
with Vertical Web Hosting services.
