Stijg Media is a founder-led SEO agency based in Norwood, Massachusetts, serving small businesses in Walpole and nearby Norfolk County communities. I'm founder Adriaan van Swieten, and I handle local SEO, Google Business Profile improvements, service-page optimization and AI search visibility myself. The goal is qualified calls and leads from Google Search, Maps and AI recommendations. One client reported moving from page 8 to page 1 in six months.
Trusted by businesses including
No account managers. No junior handoffs. You work directly with the person doing the thinking.
I spent years working in and around agencies and saw the same pattern too often: the client became a list of deliverables. Complete the agreed work, keep delivery costs down, send the report and move on.
I built Stijg Media differently.
I work directly with every Walpole client because good local SEO is rarely just an SEO problem. A Google Maps ranking issue can start with an incomplete Google Business Profile or the way a website is built. Strong traffic can be wasted by a weak conversion path. And technically sound service pages can still fail when they don't answer what local customers are actually looking for.
My background across web design, web development and SEO lets me look at the whole system, find the actual bottleneck, and work on what is most likely to bring in more calls, rather than passing the problem between departments.
“It's rare that you find someone who is both a web developer and SEO expert.”
Calls, rankings and AI referrals, in clients' own words.
AI-referred inquiries after one week
In March 2026, couples therapist Emily Sanchez shared this result after SEO and AI-search changes. It's her account, not a guaranteed outcome.
“For example, I have received multiple calls from people tell me that AI recommended me as the best couples therapist in my city. Now those are results!!!”
Page 8 to page 1 in six months
“We went from page 8 to page 1 in six months and have stayed there ever since.”
More traffic and calls
“I've seen an uptick in website traffic and calls since.”
Five years, two website rebuilds
“Adriaan has done so much for our company these past 5 years. He remodeled our website two times already and each time it looks incredible.”
Fix what stops customers finding you. Then fix what stops them calling.
Stijg Media audits the five areas below for Walpole businesses, then prioritizes the fixes most likely to bring in qualified customers.
I check your Google Business Profile categories, services and reviews, then measure Google Maps rankings across Walpole on a local grid so you can see which competitors appear ahead.
Local SEO servicesI use keyword research and search intent to match customer searches to the right service pages, then improve on-page SEO, content and internal links. Blog writing only goes in when it supports a real service.
I fix technical SEO issues affecting rankings and inquiries: crawling, indexing, title tags, meta descriptions, structured data when appropriate, page speed and mobile usability. I also handle web design and development fixes when pages or forms are losing leads.
Web design and developmentStijg Media builds relevant local links, citations and trustworthy third-party mentions for Walpole businesses. That off-page SEO work includes checking your business name, address and phone details across Google, Bing and relevant directories.
Stijg Media tests whether ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews mention or cite Walpole businesses for real buyer questions. I check the cited URLs and strengthen retrievable website passages and credible third-party sources; I don't promise a particular AI recommendation.

Get My Free Walpole SEO AuditStijg Media's local SEO in Walpole is priced monthly, based on the number of services and locations, competition and the work required. The initial audit is free. Work is month to month, and you'll receive a written quote before starting, with any setup costs made clear.
A local SEO agency helps customers find a business in nearby Google Maps and organic results. For Walpole businesses, Stijg Media improves Google Business Profiles, service pages, technical issues and local authority, then checks whether visibility becomes qualified calls and inquiries.
Hiring an SEO agency is worth considering when a few additional customers could cover the cost and your website or Google Maps presence has fixable gaps. Stijg Media starts with a free Walpole SEO audit. If your immediate fixes are simple enough to do yourself, I'll say so rather than sell you work you don't need.
Google Maps visibility can sometimes change within weeks; competitive organic SEO for a Walpole business often takes several months. Stijg Media assesses your website, location and competitors before setting expectations rather than promising a fixed ranking date.
Yes. For Walpole businesses, Stijg Media audits and updates Google Business Profile categories, services, hours and landing-page relevance. I check rankings from several map locations and fix inconsistent listings. Photos and posts may help customers decide, but they aren't magic ranking fixes.
Yes. Stijg Media is based in Norwood and serves Walpole businesses. Your agency's address doesn't decide your own Google Maps proximity; your business's verified location does. I account for that while improving your website and Google Business Profile.
I do. I'm Adriaan van Swieten, founder and SEO consultant at Stijg Media. For Walpole clients, I handle the audit, research, strategy and agreed implementation. You deal directly with the person responsible for the work, not a separate salesperson or account manager.
Yes. Stijg Media tests commercial questions Walpole customers might ask ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, checking whether your brand is mentioned or cited and which sources appear.
