By [Nicolás Cerón](https://dardo.studio/en/nicolas-ceron/) · Updated Nov 15, 2026 · 5 min read [Get a proposal](https://dardo.studio/en/contact/) ## Working with Dardo from Costa Mesa Dardo is a three-person design studio in Bogotá, Colombia, led by its founder, Nicolás Cerón. We work with companies in Costa Mesa remotely: there is no Dardo office in Costa Mesa. Calls happen on video, in English or Spanish, and everything we agree goes into a written proposal. Bogotá keeps UTC−5 all year, with no daylight saving time. Costa Mesa is 3 hours behind Bogotá in January and 2 hours behind Bogotá in July, so a nine-to-five day in Costa Mesa shares 5–6 working hours with a nine-to-five day in Bogotá. A project starts with a brief through the [contact form](https://dardo.studio/en/contact/?service=seo), by email to hello@dardo.studio or on WhatsApp. Nicolás replies within one business day with the questions that set the scope. The proposal that follows lists the scope, deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, payment stages, a timeline and the people doing the work, by name. Published starting prices: Monthly SEO with reporting from USD 299 a month. Anything beyond that is quoted by scope, with no minimum budget. [Pricing](https://dardo.studio/en/pricing/) explains how a quote is built. ## What our technical SEO service includes SEO is scoped per project, and the proposal names each deliverable, who implements it and how it's accepted. Depending on the site, the scope draws from this list: - Search research per language: the queries buyers use, who ranks for them and what those pages answer - A page-to-query map, so each important topic has one page and no two pages compete for the same intent - URL structure, titles, meta descriptions, headings and internal links written for those queries - Crawl and index controls: robots rules, XML sitemap, canonical tags, noindex decisions and correct status codes - Structured data that matches the visible content, such as Organization, BreadcrumbList and FAQPage - Page speed and Core Web Vitals checks on real templates, including images and fonts - Paired URLs and [hreflang](https://dardo.studio/en/blog/multilingual-seo/) for sites in more than one language - A redirect map, launch checks and Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools setup The [SEO service page](https://dardo.studio/en/services/seo/) has the full scope, the process and the questions buyers ask. ## How Costa Mesa searches for SEO These are the searches with Costa Mesa in them that Ahrefs counts each month in its country (read on 14–15 November 2026). Most people searching for SEO don't type a place, so these are a floor for the demand, not all of it: __How Costa Mesa searches for SEO__ | Search | Searches a month | | ---------------------- | ---------------- | | seo company costa mesa | 90 | | seo agency costa mesa | 70 | | seo costa mesa | 60 | We use the same kind of data to plan a client's SEO: which searches to answer, with which page, against which competitors. ## How fast websites in the United States are on phones In October 2026, 63.9% of the websites in the United States measured by Chrome's user experience report passed all three Core Web Vitals on phones, according to the [HTTP Archive](https://httparchive.org/reports/techreport/landing). The platform behind a site moves that number: __How fast websites in the United States are on phones__ | Platform | Sites measured | Pass on phones | | ----------- | -------------- | -------------- | | Wix | 34,241 | 88.8% | | Shopify | 118,272 | 86.1% | | Squarespace | 40,344 | 82.9% | | Framer | 1,909 | 82.2% | | Webflow | 15,239 | 80.9% | | WordPress | 330,180 | 63.3% | Speed comes from how a site is built more than from the platform, and Google uses Core Web Vitals in search. The [platform speed report](https://dardo.studio/en/tools/website-platform-speed-report/) has the same numbers for other countries. ## Work you can check A project from 2026, with its published result: - [Gissi](https://dardo.studio/en/work/gissi/) (Education / Music & arts, 2026). 34 → 416 Google clicks: 3 months before, 9 days after relaunch. None of these clients is in Costa Mesa. They are the projects we can show, with their numbers. ## Questions before you choose **Does Dardo have an office in Costa Mesa?** No. Dardo is a three-person studio in Bogotá, Colombia, and works with companies in Costa Mesa remotely, on video calls, in English or Spanish. **What is the time difference between Costa Mesa and Bogotá?** Costa Mesa is 3 hours behind Bogotá in January and 2 hours behind Bogotá in July. Bogotá keeps UTC−5 all year, so a nine-to-five day in Costa Mesa shares 5–6 working hours with ours. **How much does SEO cost with Dardo?** Monthly SEO with reporting from USD 299 a month. Each project is quoted by scope in an itemized written proposal in US dollars, with no minimum budget. **Can you guarantee a first-page ranking on Google?** No, and be wary of anyone who does. Google's own guidance says no one can guarantee a number-one ranking. What we can control is whether your pages are crawlable, indexable, fast, clearly structured and genuinely useful for the queries you care about, and whether you can see what happens next in Search Console. We report observed results against a baseline, including when something hasn't worked yet. **How long does SEO take for a new website?** Expect months, not weeks. Google says some changes show up within hours and others take several months, and a brand-new domain with no history usually takes longer to earn visibility than an established one. Technical foundations such as indexing, sitemaps and titles can be verified soon after launch. Movement on competitive queries is slower, so we set a baseline at launch and compare periods rather than reacting to daily swings. ## Sources & further reading Sources behind this page, with further detail from the original publishers. - [Ahrefs Keywords Explorer (monthly searches)](https://ahrefs.com/keywords-explorer) · ahrefs.com - [HTTP Archive technology report (Core Web Vitals by platform and country)](https://httparchive.org/reports/techreport/landing) · httparchive.org - [IANA time zone database](https://www.iana.org/time-zones) · iana.org - [Google Search Central: site moves with URL changes](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/site-move-with-url-changes) · developers.google.com - [Google Search Console: Generative AI performance report](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/16984139) · support.google.com - [Bing Webmaster Tools: AI Performance](https://blogs.bing.com/webmaster/2026/2/Introducing-AI-Performance-in-Bing-Webmaster-Tools-Public-Preview/) · blogs.bing.com ## SEO agency in nearby cities - [Huntington BeachCA](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-huntington-beach/) - [IrvineCA](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-irvine/) - [AnaheimCA](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-anaheim/) - [Long BeachCA](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-long-beach/) - [Los AngelesCA](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-los-angeles/) - [RiversideCA](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-riverside/) - [MurrietaCA](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-murrieta/) - [BurbankCA](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-burbank/) - [OceansideCA](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-oceanside/) - [TemeculaCA](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-temecula/) - [CarlsbadCA](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-carlsbad/) - [San MarcosCA](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-san-marcos/) [SEO agency in the United States](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency-usa/) · [SEO agency by city](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency/) ## Other services in Costa Mesa - [Web design in Costa Mesa](https://dardo.studio/en/web-design-agency/costa-mesa/) [Dardo](https://dardo.studio/) · [SEO by city](https://dardo.studio/en/seo-agency/) · Costa Mesa ## Start with a brief Send what you need, your languages and your deadline.
