SEO gone wrong?

Why most small business SEO fails

The SEO industry has a trust problem. You've paid the price.

Here's the truth: SEO isn't magic. It's detailed work done consistently. The hard part isn't knowing what to do. It's having time to do it while running your business.

Paid an agency. Got reports. Got zero customers.

Fancy PDFs every month. Rankings charts. Impressions graphs. But your phone never rang.

Tried the cheap route. Got burned.

Someone promised 1,000 backlinks for $50. Now your site is penalized.

Started doing it yourself. Stopped.

You optimized two pages, then got busy running your actual business.

Signed a contract. Regretted it.

12 months locked in. Nothing to show. Lesson learned.

SEO basics

What is SEO and why it's critical for your small business?

Already know this? Skip ahead →

Those businesses ranking #1? They didn't get lucky. They invested.

SEO is what gets Google to trust your site. Some of it happens on your website (content, speed, structure). Some happens off it (links, citations, reviews).

When done right, Google sends you people already searching for what you sell. Not random traffic. Buyers ready to pay.

Who you're hiring

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

What I actually do

The work that moves rankings

I do the SEO. You run your business.

Technical Foundation

Your site needs to load fast and work on mobile. I audit everything, fix what's broken, set up tracking.

Content That Ranks

Every month, new content targeting what your customers actually search. Real articles. Real questions. Real rankings.

Authority Building

Google trusts sites that other sites link to. I build real backlinks through outreach. Not spam. Links that move rankings.

Local Visibility

If you serve a local area, I optimize your Google Business Profile and citations. This is often where the fastest wins happen.

Here's exactly what happens

No mystery. No confusion.

Week 1-2: I find out where you stand

Full audit. Competitor research. Keyword opportunities. You'll see exactly what's working and what's not.

Week 3-4: I fix what's broken

Technical issues. On-page optimization. Google Business Profile. The foundation everything else builds on.

Month 2+: I build momentum

New content. New links. Ongoing optimization. SEO compounds. Month 2 work makes month 6 results.

Every month: You see everything

Monthly calls. Real numbers. Rankings, traffic, leads, revenue. Not vanity metrics.

SEO Strategy Process

Honest SEO timeline

When you'll see SEO results

I won't promise #1 in 30 days. Anyone who does is lying.

A bathroom remodeler in Colorado Springs went from #13 to #2 on Google Maps in 60 days. They now generate consistent leads from organic search. Eliminated $120K in annual ad spend.

An e-commerce client ranked for 1,100+ keywords across 20 countries in 5 months. Eliminated their $2,400/month in Google Ads.

45-60 days

First ranking improvements visible

3-6 months

Meaningful traffic increases

6+ months

Compounding results, real business impact

You can't lose

Here's why you can't lose

30 days. Change or refund.

Give me 30 days. If nothing changes, I refund every dollar. Not "we tried our best." Not "SEO takes time." Results or refund.

No contracts. Ever.

No 6-month minimums. No 12-month lock-ins. No termination fees. You stay because it's working. Not because you're trapped.

I can offer this because I know what I'm doing. I'd rather work with clients who see results than trap anyone in a contract. I earn my place every month.

Why me, not them

What makes this different

From the agencies that burned you.

Direct Access

You work with me. Not an account manager juggling 40 clients. I respond. I answer.

Built for Small Business

I understand your constraints. Your priorities. The pressure to see ROI fast.

15 Years of This

Every algorithm update. Every "SEO is dead" prediction. Every trend. What works is fundamentals, executed consistently.

I Care About Revenue

Rankings and traffic matter. But what I really track: Did SEO bring you customers? Did they pay?

Problems I solve every day

Sound familiar?

“I'm invisible on Google and my competitors get all the calls”

I hear this every week. The good news: if your competitors can rank, so can you. As your SEO strategist, here's how I'll get you visible:

  • Audit exactly why they're outranking you and build a plan to close the gap
  • Fix the technical issues keeping Google from trusting your site
  • Create content that targets the searches your customers actually make
  • Build the authority signals that move you up the rankings

“I paid an agency for months and got nothing”

You're not alone. Most small business owners have been burned by an SEO agency at least once. Here's how I do things differently:

  • No contracts. You stay because it's working, not because you're locked in
  • Monthly reports that show leads and revenue, not just traffic charts
  • Direct access to me, not a rotating account manager
  • 30-day proof period: measurable progress or your money back

“I don't have time to learn SEO on top of running my business”

That's exactly why you hire someone. You run your business, I handle the SEO. Here's what that looks like:

  • I do all the research, writing, and optimization. You approve what matters
  • One call per month to review results and adjust strategy
  • You get a clear report showing what happened and what's next
  • No homework. No logins to learn. I handle it all

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

Red flags that scream "run"

Most businesses get burned by SEO at least once before finding someone who actually delivers. The industry is full of agencies that sell promises instead of results. Before you sign anything, watch for these:

"We guarantee #1 rankings"

No one controls Google's algorithm. Anyone promising specific positions is either lying or using shortcuts that will get your site penalized. Ask what happens when the guarantee "fails." Spoiler: nothing, because the guarantee was never real.

They can't show you real revenue results

Ask: "Show me a client who went from X leads to Y leads." If they pivot to traffic charts instead of revenue numbers, they're hiding something. Traffic that doesn't convert is just noise.

They lock you into long contracts

If they need 12 months before you can leave, ask yourself why. Good SEO shows measurable progress within 60 to 90 days. Long contracts protect the agency, not you.

They won't explain what they're actually doing

If your monthly report is a PDF full of jargon with no clear explanation of what changed and why, you're paying for a black box. You deserve to understand every dollar spent.

They focus on rankings, not leads

"You're ranking #3 for a keyword!" Great. Did anyone call? Rankings that don't turn into business are a vanity metric. Ask how they measure success. If the word "revenue" never comes up, keep looking.

They outsource everything

Your "dedicated SEO manager" forwards your work to a team who's never seen your city, your competitors, or your market. Your business deserves someone who understands your local landscape.

They buy links or dodge the question

Ask directly: "How do you build backlinks?" If the answer is vague or involves buying link packages, you're one Google update away from disaster. Cheap links are expensive when Google catches them.

Their own website doesn't rank

Search for "SEO services" plus their city. If they're not on page one for their own service in their own market, why would your results be any different?

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.
