As an independent SEO expert, I've been helping businesses rank higher on Google and other search engines for over 15 years. That experience has taught me that every single SEO campaign is unique, just as every client I take on is unique. If you're ready to grow and increase your rankings (and ROI), schedule a consultation with me today. Let's discuss your goals and some strategies to help you reach them. While the duration of consultation projects varies, most span between six months to a year, however, this timeline may be adjusted shorter or extended considerably based on the magnitude of your company and the depth of your campaign goals.

15+ years experience in google organic search optimization, traffic recovery, website audits, and building E-A-T signals. Below are a few highlighted skills I rock at. When I’m not working on trying to outrank Google, I spend my time with my wife, daughters and dogs. (more about me)
You use SEO consulting services to help identify traffic dips to your website, technical issues, and ways to continuously grow your business with search engine optimization. Most of my clients have hired me to help them with their short-term SEO goals, long-term growth strategies, and marketing projects. You can see current and previous client lists here, ranging from small businesses to future Fortune 500 companies.
Set up clients with every local directory and other Google-trusted stores to add local credibility and make sure that you rank highest when people in your area make specific searches. This includes product and customer reviews. At this time, I will highly recommend Moz.com, a tool I use with nearly every client.
With on-page SEO services, I help you identify critical issues hindering your organic ranking. I analyze your page layout, assess any technical issues and web speed, and then provide a schema JSON implementation plan as well as review your core web vitals. My work also focuses on improving your on-page E-A-T signals.
Offerings include keyword services, where I use research strategies to help identify keyword opportunities. I start by looking at your competitors and long tail keywords, focused of getting you the fastest return on your investment.
Expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness have become ranking factors that most website owners must have. I show you how to improve E-A-T signals by reviewing the content, authorship, and technical aspects of your website.
Google has stated that the YMYL criteria are stricter than those for other types of websites because it is Google's responsibility to make sure that the information provided on websites offering financial advice, medical advice, legal advice, news, information about public figures, and websites geared toward shopping or transactional activities is accurate, trustworthy, and reliable.
For backlink services, I only follow Google's best practices. I help identify partners you can collaborate with and follow white-hat link building. The objective is to build a clean profile to increase your domain authority.
A website audit takes me seven business days to perform. During this process, I provide a handwritten strategy document. It covers competitor analysis, backlink profiles, on-page content, technical issues, and more.
Meet with me weekly to learn all about search engine optimization. During our Zoom call, we focus on topics that meet your needs. I coach people new to SEO, marketing departments, or SEO experts who want an expert and different opinion.
