Schedule Consultation

Priority-Based Approach

Every recommendation is ranked by business impact. I focus on what actually makes you money, not on busy-work.

Clear Communication

Email, Loom videos, and detailed documentation. Scheduled strategy calls. Your time matters.

Transparent Results

Monthly insights into what’s working. No jargon, no vanity metrics. Just honest reporting on traffic, rankings, and conversions.

Built for Sustainability

SEO is a marathon, not a sprint. I work with clients who understand that meaningful growth takes consistent, strategic effort.

Years of hands-on experience serving businesses across industries. Every SEO project is handled personally, with the care and attention your business deserves.

Why It Works

Better Results Through Focused Attention

Large agencies spread their talent thin across dozens of clients, resulting in weak results. Freelance marketplaces race to the bottom on price and value. You get what you pay for. I built this practice to be different.

You work directly with me. No junior team members, no layers of bureaucracy. I intentionally limit the number of clients I take so that you get the time and attention you deserve.

There are no one-size-fits-all solutions for SEO. Every business has different goals, audiences, and constraints. I start by understanding what success actually means for you, then build a roadmap based on your specific needs, not on a generic workflow. My strategy adapts as your business evolves, and I will always give you honest assessments, including what would be a waste of your attention and dollars.

My background: I ran a small business for 5 years, doing my own web development, SEO, and online marketing, so I understand the business owner perspective. I then worked for 2 years as a freelance SEO and WordPress developer, further honing my skills before pivoting to 3.5 years as Director of Web & SEO Strategy for a busy marketing agency, managing 30+ SEO clients simultaneously and dozens of website builds per year. Now I work exclusively with businesses who understand the value of deep work and attention in unlocking serious organic growth.

Integrative Wellness Center

1,265% Increase in Organic Traffic over 15 months

The Challenge:

An integrative wellness center offering functional medicine, cardiology, chiropractic, and holistic health services had minimal organic search presence despite dozens of specialized offerings.

Strategic Approach:

I led a comprehensive SEO strategy including technical optimization (improving PageSpeed from 35/46 to 80/95), creation of 40+ service pages and 25+ blog posts, on-page optimization across 50+ pages, and multiple link-building campaigns that grew referring domains from 18 to 141.

The Results:

Over 15 months, organic traffic increased 1,265% (31 → 423 monthly visitors), traffic value grew 19,150%, and top-10 keyword rankings jumped 767% (6 → 52). The site achieved a domain rating of 36 and 100% SEO health score.

Luxury Resort & Country Club

72% Increase In Organic Traffic over 7 Months

The Challenge:

An award-winning luxury resort and country club needed to accelerate organic growth heading into peak season and strengthen visibility for high-value searches including spa services, wedding venues, and fine dining.

Strategic Approach:

I planned a complete rebuild of the outdated 100+ page WordPress site in a modern page builder and theme and guided the implementation of technical optimizations, resolved hundreds of accessibility issues, published 20+ new blog posts and new service pages, added keyword-rich content to priority pages, and executed multiple link-building campaigns adding 60+ quality backlinks.

The Results:

Over 7 months, organic traffic increased 72% (17,743 → 30,545 monthly visitors), traffic value grew 52% to $7,306/month, and referring domains jumped 52% (878 → 1,335). The site ranks for 15,300+ keywords with 342 in the top 3 positions.

Recreational Sports League

55% Increase In Organic Traffic over 9 Months

The Challenge:

A regional adult recreational sports league operator needed to increase organic visibility in a competitive local market and drive more qualified traffic to their registration pages.

Strategic Approach:

My team implemented a comprehensive SEO strategy including technical optimization (achieving 100% SEO health score), creation of 30+ location-specific service pages and 25+ blog posts, on-page optimization across all content, and a targeted link-building campaign that nearly doubled their referring domains.

The Results:

Over 9 months, organic traffic increased 55% (3,237 → 5,004 monthly visitors), traffic value grew 53% to $6,847/month, and referring domains jumped 97% from 35 to 69. The site now ranks for 1,726 keywords with 115 in the top 3 positions.

Swim School

255% Increase in Organic Traffic over 7 Months

The Challenge:

A regional swim school operating in multiple cities needed to establish organic visibility in competitive local markets and drive qualified traffic to their booking pages.

Strategic Approach:

I led a comprehensive SEO strategy including technical optimization (achieving 92 desktop / 71 mobile PageSpeed scores), creation of 10+ location-specific service pages, educational blog content, on-page optimization across all pages, and two link-building campaigns that added 60+ quality backlinks.

The Results:

Over 7 months, organic traffic increased 255% (58 → 206 monthly visitors), traffic value grew 500%, and top-10 keyword rankings improved 75%. The site achieved a domain rating of 22.

CDL Training School

11,700% Increase In Organic Traffic over 6 Months

The Challenge:

A CDL truck driving school had virtually no organic search presence, with only 1 monthly visitor from organic search. They needed to build complete SEO visibility from the ground up to drive enrollment inquiries.

Strategic Approach:

I led a new website build with a strong SEO foundation, including technical optimization, creation of 15+ location-specific service pages and educational blog content, on-page optimization with FAQ schema, and a citation campaign that doubled their referring domains.

The Results:

Over 6 months, organic traffic increased 11,700% (1 → 118 monthly visitors), top-10 keyword rankings grew 2,100% (1 → 22), and total ranking keywords expanded 2,240% (5 → 117). The site peaked at 184 monthly organic visitors.

People Also Ask…

Direct access to the strategist doing the work. No junior team members, no layers of account managers. By intentionally limiting my client load, I can give you the focused attention you deserve.

No ethical SEO consultant can guarantee specific rankings or traffic numbers. There are too many variables outside anyone’s control. However, take a look at my case studies above to see my track record. I can promise strategic, ethical work prioritized by business impact, transparent communication, and honest recommendations.

True SEO work is strategic, not urgent. If you need same-day responses or emergency support, this isn’t the right fit. I work thoughtfully and asynchronously, with 24-48 hour response times.

Schedule a discovery call. We’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and expectations. If I don’t think I’m the right fit, I’ll tell you honestly and potentially refer you to someone better suited.

The minimum retainer I can take is $1,000/month. This ensures I can take on the number of clients that guarantees you my focused attention. If that’s outside your budget, I may be able to recommend other consultants or resources that would be a better fit.

I work with professional services (law, medical, consulting), home services (contractors, HVAC, etc.), small businesses, and nonprofits. If you value long-term strategic growth and quality communication, industry matters less than fit.

Let’s start with a conversation. I’ll learn about your goals, share some initial thoughts on your current SEO situation, and we’ll see if there’s a fit. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just an honest discussion about whether working together makes sense.
