For businesses in Duval, St. Johns, Clay and Nassau counties we offer SEO, website design and development, AI search, Google and Meta Ads, local search and social media. Med spas and healthcare practices are a specialty. Get found by the people searching from Mayport to Middleburg, named when they ask an AI tool, and chosen when they are ready to call. ## SEO services for Jacksonville businesses We handle the technical [SEO](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/seo/), schema markup, content and link building behind every page we write. The Census Bureau lists places named Jacksonville in 14 states. Google’s own suggestions for "med spa jacksonville" include North Carolina, Texas, Illinois and Oregon. So every title, page and listing we write says Florida, and names the community it serves, such as Jacksonville Beach, Fleming Island or Nocatee. - Technical SEO and site audits - Schema markup - Content that answers real questions - Link building - Pages for each community you serve - Search Console set up in your name ## Website design and development in Jacksonville We design and build [websites](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/web-development/) on WordPress or Next.js, and custom code where a site needs it, choosing the platform by how much the site needs to grow. We also take on redesigns, speed work and upkeep. Our [ADA compliance](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/web-development/#ada-compliance) work checks a site against WCAG 2.2 at level AA, fixes what fails and then checks each fix again with a keyboard and a screen reader. It is technical work, not legal advice. Veterans make up about 11 percent of civilian adults across the Jacksonville metro, against about 6 percent nationally. So when a business offers a military discount, we put it on the first screen of the site, not in the footer. - New websites and redesigns - WordPress development - Next.js, React and custom code - ADA compliance (WCAG 2.2 AA) - Speed work and maintenance ## Websites and results we are proud of ### Roofing company Single location SEO grown into a site of more than 250 pages.

That work is called answer engine optimization (AEO) or generative engine optimization (GEO). Google’s guidance for AI Overviews asks for no special optimization. A page it has indexed, and can show with a snippet, is eligible to be a supporting link. So we write plain answers to what Northeast Florida customers ask an assistant. Which side of the St. Johns River are you on? Do you come out to Fleming Island or Yulee? Do you offer a military discount? ### Google and Meta Ads We run pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns on [Google Ads](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/paid-ads/), and paid social on Facebook and Instagram. We can build TikTok and LinkedIn campaigns when they fit. Putting Jacksonville in a keyword does not tell Google which state you mean. So we set each campaign’s locations, with Duval, St. Johns and Clay as separate areas, and choose the setting that reaches people who are in them or regularly there. In the year to July 2025, St. Johns County gained a net of about 12,500 residents who moved from elsewhere in the US. Duval, three times its size, gained a net 101. Newcomers do not know local business names yet, so an ad may be the first time they see yours. ### Local SEO We handle [local SEO](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/local-seo/) and the Google Business Profile itself: categories, services, hours, photos and a weekly review process. A business that goes to its customers can list up to 20 service areas on its profile. Around Jacksonville that list should use the names people type, and many of them are not cities: Nocatee, Oakleaf Plantation, Fleming Island, Yulee. Ponte Vedra is not a city, yet people search for "med spa ponte vedra". So the name belongs on your site anyway. ### Social media We manage [social media](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/social-media/) around the Northeast Florida calendar. It starts with THE PLAYERS at TPC Sawgrass in March and the free Jacksonville Jazz Festival on Memorial Day weekend, and ends with Nights of Lights in St. Augustine from late November into January. While the stadium is renovated, the Georgia-Florida football game is played in Atlanta on October 31, 2026 and in Tampa in 2027, then returns to Jacksonville in 2028. Posts built around game week need a different plan for those two years. Our [brand design](https://kihanmarketing.com/services/brand-design/) work sets the logo, identity and guidelines and builds the templates for posts and ads, so a new customer in Yulee sees one business on your profile and your site. ## How Jacksonville splits local search Inside Duval, Jacksonville search splits by part of town and by bank of the St. Johns River; outside it, by unincorporated communities such as Nocatee and Fleming Island. The metro is five counties: Duval, St. Johns, Clay, Nassau and Baker. 1. **One city covers almost the whole county.** Only Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach and Baldwin kept their own governments inside Duval. Everywhere else is the City of Jacksonville, so inside Duval a page works by part of town and neighborhood, not by suburb. 2. **The river divides the city.** The St. Johns River flows north through Jacksonville and meets the Atlantic past Mayport. The city uses it as a boundary for several of its six planning districts, and the Beaches lie beyond the Intracoastal Waterway. Distance to the searcher is one of the things Google weighs in local results, so a listing on one bank will not automatically show for a search made on the other. 3. **Outside Duval, most people live outside any city.** More than nine in ten residents of St. Johns and Clay counties live in unincorporated areas. Fruit Cove, Oakleaf Plantation, Fleming Island and Nocatee each have more residents than the City of St. Augustine, yet none of them is a city. Each needs its own page. ### Northeast Florida in numbers - **747** square miles of land inside Jacksonville’s city limits, more than Houston’s 641 - **96%** of Duval County residents live in the City of Jacksonville, not in the Beaches or Baldwin - **26.7%** population growth in St. Johns County from 2020 to 2025, by Census estimates - **1 in 6** civilian adults in Clay County is a veteran, by Census estimates ## Northeast Florida med spas, roofers, property managers and real estate brokerages Each of these industries advertises under its own Florida rules. Northeast Florida adds a city where many households rent, suburbs that are filling fast and storms that bring river flooding as well as wind. ### Med spa and healthcare SEO The SEO, Google Ads and booking pages we make for Jacksonville med spas follow Florida Board of Medicine rule 64B8-11.001, last amended March 2026. Under the Board of Medicine’s advertising rule, last amended in March 2026, any ad that names a licensee must say whether that person is a medical doctor (M.D.), physician assistant (P.A.) or anesthesiologist assistant (A.A.). So physician bios, ads and booking pages carry the right letters after each name. The same rule treats an ad as misleading if it suggests a physician is more qualified or skilled than other physicians. Bios describe training and procedures instead of ranking anyone. The JAXUSA Partnership, the region’s economic development group, names Mayo Clinic, Baptist Health and Medtronic among the anchors of Duval’s health care industry. An independent med spa competes beside them on the treatment and the community. So a page for Nocatee or Jacksonville Beach leads with both, the words its patients type. - Florida rule: Board of Medicine rule 64B8-11.001(7) - Last amended: March 19, 2026 - Services: Med spa SEO, Google Ads, booking pages [Med spa SEO](https://kihanmarketing.com/med-spa-marketing/med-spa-seo/) ### Roofing For Jacksonville roofers, Kihan Marketing builds roofing SEO, Google Ads and storm pages that cover river flooding and leaks as well as wind. During Hurricane Irma in September 2017, the St. Johns River set record flood stages at many places in Duval County and hundreds of people were rescued, according to the National Hurricane Center. Storm pages for a Jacksonville roofer should cover leaks and water, not only wind. Under section 489.147(6), a homeowner can cancel a roof contract without penalty if they signed it within 180 days of an event covered by a Governor’s state of emergency declaration. The home must also be inside the area that declaration covers. The window closes 10 days after signing or at the official start date, whichever comes first. After-storm pages and contracts should be written with that right in mind. The same section limits door hangers, flyers and emails that encourage a roof damage claim. They must carry set disclaimers about the deductible and insurance fraud, in type of at least 12 points and at least half the size of the largest type used, so the notice belongs in a roofer’s storm email template. - Florida rule: Section 489.147(6) - Storm on record: Irma, September 2017 - Services: Roofing SEO, storm pages, Google Ads [Roofing marketing](https://kihanmarketing.com/roofing-marketing/) ### Property management For Jacksonville property managers, we build company sites and community leasing sites, each written to the Florida broker rule that applies to it. About four in ten occupied homes in the City of Jacksonville are rented, against fewer than one in five in St. Johns County, by Census estimates. Three in four of the metro’s renting households live in the city itself, so we build listing pages around its neighborhoods. Under section 475.01, renting or leasing property for others for pay is broker work in Florida, and the definition also takes in "all persons who advertise rental property information or lists". Section 475.011 exempts salaried leasing staff in an apartment community’s onsite office. So a management company’s site and a single community’s leasing site can answer to different rules, and we write each one with that in mind. Deposit pages can quote the deadlines in section 83.49: 15 days to return a deposit when there is no claim, and 30 days to send written notice of a claim, by certified mail or, where section 83.505 allows, by email. - Florida rules: Sections 475.01 and 83.49 - Market: About 4 in 10 city homes rented - Our build: Property manager’s website [Property management marketing](https://kihanmarketing.com/property-management-marketing/) ### Real estate For brokerages and agents across Duval, Clay and St. Johns, Kihan Marketing builds the site and ads, with each page marking the agent as a Florida licensee. Florida’s real estate advertising rule says every ad must make it clear to a reasonable reader that they are dealing with a real estate licensee. So agent pages, listing pages and post templates identify the agent as a licensee from the first draft. The Florida Department of Transportation is building the First Coast Expressway, a toll road of about 46 miles across Clay, Duval and St. Johns counties. Its St. Johns River bridge is due around 2030. For buyers comparing communities such as Oakleaf Plantation and Fruit Cove, we build community guides and listing pages, then run the posts and ads that send buyers to them. - Florida rule: FREC rule 61J2-10.025(1) - Our client: Real estate agency, Sint Maarten - Result: Clicks 1,545 to 2,478, July to September 2026 against 2025 [See the real estate project](https://kihanmarketing.com/projects/island-dreams-realty/) The [portfolio](https://kihanmarketing.com/portfolio/) shows our work by industry, and [real estate marketing](https://kihanmarketing.com/real-estate-marketing/) covers brokerages in more depth. ## Who does the work **Kiran Dasgupta**, Founder and Lead Strategist.

The answers show who knows Northeast Florida and who changed the city name on a page written for somewhere else. 1. **Ask whose name is on the accounts.** The domain, the ad account, the Business Profile and the analytics should be registered to your business, not to the agency. 2. **Ask which Jacksonville they mean.** A plan for a Florida business should say how its pages, profile and ads stay apart from Jacksonville, North Carolina and the other towns with the same name. 3. **Ask where they would start.** A good answer names a side of the river, a county or a community such as Fleming Island. "All of Northeast Florida" is not a plan. 4. **Ask a Florida rules question.** A roofer can ask what section 489.147 lets a homeowner do after a declared emergency. A med spa can ask what the Board of Medicine requires beside a physician’s name. 5. **Ask about storm season.** Before June 1, which storm pages, profile updates and ad changes would they have live? ## Your Jacksonville questions, answered ### Do you have an office in Jacksonville? No. We work remotely, inside accounts you own, such as your Google Ads, Business Profile, Search Console and website. ### Do you work in St. Augustine, Orange Park and Fernandina Beach too? Yes, and in unincorporated communities such as Fruit Cove, Oakleaf Plantation and Yulee. Each one you serve gets a page of its own and a place in the ad locations. ### Will you test a Jacksonville website for ADA compliance? Yes. We check the site against WCAG 2.2 at level AA with automated tools, a keyboard and a screen reader. Then we fix what fails, such as low contrast, missing image descriptions, skipped headings, unlabeled form fields, a confusing focus order and missing captions. We never use overlay widgets. In 2021 the Eleventh Circuit, the federal appeals court over Florida, vacated its own opinion in Gil v. Winn-Dixie, which had held that a website is not itself a place of public accommodation. We do not predict how a court would treat your site: this is technical work, not legal advice, and no one can promise a site will never be sued. ### When should a Jacksonville roofer publish storm pages? Before June 1. Hurricane season opens June 1, peaks around September 10 and closes November 30. At Jacksonville’s airport, NOAA’s climate normals show about 54 percent of the year’s rain falling from June through September. Pages published in spring have time to be indexed before the wet months. ### What are AEO and GEO? Answer engine optimization and generative engine optimization: two names for one job. It gets your business mentioned when someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity, or searches Google, which med spa near Nocatee offers a certain treatment. What makes it work: plain answers on pages Google can index, and a Business Profile whose hours and services are current. ## Other city pages in the region - [Orlando, Florida](https://kihanmarketing.com/locations/orlando/) - [Tampa, Florida](https://kihanmarketing.com/locations/tampa/) - [Charleston, South Carolina](https://kihanmarketing.com/locations/charleston/) - [Sarasota, Florida](https://kihanmarketing.com/locations/sarasota/) ## Got a project in Jacksonville?
