Why should you trust me?

Google did.

I didn't learn SEO from a blog. I worked with Google directly. They featured me on their Google Activate program all over Europe. If Google trusted me to represent them, you can trust me to rank you on them.

Don't take my word for it

Here's what other small business owners say

If nothing changes in 30 days If nothing changes in 30 days If nothing changes in 30 days If nothing changes in 30 days If nothing changes in 30 days If nothing changes in 30 days If nothing changes in 30 days If nothing changes in 30 days

Problems I solve every day

Sound familiar?

“I set up my Google Business Profile but it doesn't seem to do anything”

Setting it up is just the beginning. An unoptimized listing is like an unlocked store with the lights off. Here's how I'll turn it into your best lead source:

  • Optimize every field: categories, services, attributes, description, and products
  • Launch a weekly posting schedule so Google sees your listing is active
  • Set up a photo strategy that makes your listing stand out against competitors
  • Configure tracking so you can see exactly how many calls and visits come from your listing

“I'm paying someone to manage it but nothing has changed”

Ask them what they did last month. If they can't give you a specific list, you're paying for nothing. Here's what real GBP management looks like:

  • Weekly posts, fresh photos, and Q&A management that keeps your listing active
  • Category testing to find the combination that brings the most calls
  • Review response strategy that builds trust with potential customers
  • Monthly reports showing calls, direction requests, and website clicks from your listing

“Someone changed information on my listing and I didn't even know”

This happens all the time. Anyone can suggest edits to your listing, and Google sometimes accepts them without telling you. Here's how I prevent that:

  • Set up monitoring so unauthorized changes get caught immediately
  • Verify and lock down your listing information to reduce unwanted edits
  • Regularly audit your listing against competitors to spot issues early
  • Keep your information accurate across all connected platforms so Google trusts your data

Built on tools the industry trusts

I use the same tools Fortune 500 companies pay six figures for, and I know how to read every report they produce

Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, Google Search Console, GA4, Surfer SEO, PageSpeed Insights. These aren't decorations on a proposal. They're tools I use every day to make real decisions about your rankings.

Most agencies hand you an automated report and call it strategy. I dig into the data, find what your competitors are doing right, and build a plan that specifically targets the gaps in your market.

15 years of reading SEO data. Not guessing. Reading.

Before you hire anyone

GBP optimization red flags

Optimizing your Google Business Profile sounds simple, but doing it right takes ongoing work, not a one-time setup. Too many providers charge you monthly for work they finished in the first week. Before you hire someone, look for these:

They fill in your profile and call it done

Adding your hours, phone number, and address is step one, not the whole service. Ask: "What do you do in month two?" If the answer is vague, they're charging you monthly for a one-time task.

"We can get you 50 reviews fast"

Ask how. Fake reviews, paid reviews, or review-swapping schemes violate Google's rules. One crackdown and your entire listing can disappear. Real review growth takes a real strategy.

Your profile hasn't been updated in weeks

Log into your Google Business Profile and check when the last post was published. If you're paying someone monthly and there are no recent posts, photos, or updates, you're paying for nothing.

They never tested different categories

The categories on your listing directly control what searches you appear for. Ask: "Have you tested different categories to see which ones bring more calls?" If they set it once and forgot it, you might be invisible for your most profitable searches.

Your listing has no recent photos

Scroll through your competitor's Google listing and count their photos. Now count yours. Listings with fresh, quality photos get more clicks. If your provider never mentions photos, your listing looks abandoned next to theirs.

Ask: "What exactly did you do this month?"

If the answer is vague or they struggle to list specific actions, you're paying for maintenance that isn't happening. A good provider should be able to tell you every change they made and why.

They never show you how many calls you got

Google tracks how many people called you, asked for directions, or clicked to your website directly from your listing. If your provider never shares these numbers, they can't prove their work is worth what you're paying.

Nobody is watching your listing for changes

Anyone can suggest edits to your Google listing, and Google sometimes accepts them automatically. Your hours could be wrong, your phone number could change, or a competitor could add misleading info. If nobody is monitoring for this, it's a ticking time bomb.

Small Business SEO That Brings You Customers

I find out where you stand, fix what's broken, and build momentum that compounds.

Audit everything first

You see exactly where you stand

Before I touch anything, I check 50+ technical factors, your competitors, and your keyword gaps. You get a clear picture of what's working, what's broken, and what to fix first.

Fix the technical problems

Google can actually find and read your site

If your site is slow, broken on mobile, or confusing to Google, no amount of content will save you. I fix the foundation so everything else can work.

Write content people search for

Articles that bring real customers to your door

I don't write fluff. Every article targets a real question your customers are typing into Google. The right content brings people who are ready to buy, not just browse.

Build your authority

Other trusted sites vouch for yours

Google ranks businesses that other websites trust and link to. I build real relationships to earn those links. Not spam. Not paid junk. Links from sites Google respects.

Optimize your Google Maps presence

You show up when locals search "near me"

When someone searches for your service in your city, you need to be in that top 3 map pack. I optimize your listing, build local citations, and get you visible where it counts.

Track revenue, not vanity metrics

Monthly reports that show real business impact

I track how many people called you, filled out a form, or walked through your door because of SEO. Not impressions. Not clicks. Customers.

30-day proof period

Measurable progress or your money back

Give me 30 days. If nothing measurably improves, I refund every dollar. No contracts, no lock-ins. You stay because it's working.
