G Squared Studios

G Squared Studios is a web design and SEO studio in Knoxville, Tennessee, founded in 2003 by James George. It builds custom, mobile-responsive websites on WordPress and adds local SEO, logo and graphic design, Google Ads management and hosting for small and mid-sized businesses in East Tennessee and across the United States.

George is the founder and sole operator, and the site says he personally handles every project from the first strategy call to launch, with no account managers and no outsourced work. Search optimization is built into each site from the start, including sitemaps, schema markup and optimized images. The process runs through discovery and keyword research, design mockups approved by the client before any code is written, a WordPress build, then launch followed by monitoring, link building, citations and monthly SEO. The studio says most website projects take four to eight weeks from receipt of all content and assets, and it does not take on direct competitors of current clients.
