Keywords Visibility Gaps
Areas for ON-PAGE SEO Growth
01
Limited Localized Content
"Terramation" page doesn’t fully target Los Angeles with location-rich copy, testimonials, or case studies.
02
Weak Coverage of Related Search Intents
Missing dedicated pages for terms like “human composting Los Angeles,” “green funeral Los Angeles,” and “eco-friendly burial options.”
No robust FAQ section or blog posts answering “what is terramation,” “cost of human composting,” or “is human composting legal in California?”
Google Ads Opportunities
Identify where ads can do more, fill in keyword gaps, boost ad quality, and drive more visibility for high-value searches across Escondido and surrounding areas.
Keyword Expansion
Expand Google Ads campaigns beyond “funeral homes Escondido” to include related service and location-based keywords.
Target Missed Opportunities
Target underperforming but high-value terms: cremation services, prepaid plans, funeral cost, etc.
Seasonal Incentives
Consider seasonal offers or price incentives (e.g., pre-need planning discounts) to increase CTR
Boost Quality Score
Improve Quality Score by optimizing ad relevance, landing page experience, and using strong ad extensions.
Google Business Profile (GBP)
Current Status: Needs content and optimization.
Recommendations:
- Add high-quality images (interior/exterior, staff, memorial settings)
- Increase reviews + reply to existing ones
- Use blog-style updates with localized, searchable questions (examples below)
- Enable and use AI-powered Event Calendar to promote special offers, service plans, or community events
Suggested Blog-Style Topics for GBP:
- What is the average cost of prepaid funerals?
- What are the disadvantages of prepaid funerals?
- What is the cheapest funeral available?
- What happens if no one can pay for a funeral?
- Are prepaid funerals transferable?
- Can you deduct prepaid funeral expenses on your taxes?

RECOMENDATIONS FOR
Alhiser Comer Email Marketing
Use existing contacts, or invest in new funnels, to send monthly emails featuring:
End-of-Life Planning Tips
Share helpful advice on topics like how to start planning, documents to prepare, and ways to involve family members. These posts provide value and position your brand as a trusted resource.
Pre-Need Special Offers
Promote limited-time discounts or added-value packages for those considering pre-need arrangements. These posts can drive inquiries and encourage early planning
Funeral FAQs
Address common questions people have, like what to wear, how services are structured, or what to expect at a graveside service. Educational posts like these help ease uncertainty and build trust.
Include CTAs that point back to blog posts or landing pages
LLM Optimization / AI Search Trends
Large Language Models (LLMs) like
ChatGPT, Perplexity,
and
Google Gemini are increasingly used to answer questions previously dominated by traditional search.
Competitors
(e.g.,
Dignity Memorial) are already optimizing content for visibility in these tools.
Growth Goals
Alhiser Comer is in the process of purchasing
Allen Brothers locations in
Vista and
San Marcos, CA.
This presents a major opportunity to expand digital visibility into neighboring cities and dominate local search in North San Diego County.

04
Use PPC to immediately build presence in those cities while SEO gains traction
