SEO
Get found by the people already looking for you.
Local-first SEO starting at $500/month.
Every day, people in your area are typing exactly what you sell into Google. The question isn’t whether they’re searching, it’s whether they find you or the bigger competitor down the road.
SEO is how you stop losing those customers. It’s not magic, it’s not a one-time fix, and it’s not something you can buy a “package” for from an offshore agency promising #1 rankings in 30 days. It’s steady, technical, ongoing work, and when it’s done right, it pays for itself many times over.
What monthly SEO includes
- Keyword research based on what your customers actually search, not vanity terms
- On-page optimization — titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal links, image optimization
- Technical SEO — site speed, mobile usability, indexing, schema markup, crawl errors
- Local SEO — Google Business Profile management, local citations, review strategy
- Content recommendations so the rest of your site supports the SEO work
- Monthly reporting in plain English, with clear next steps
- Direct access to me for questions, ideas, and strategy conversations
What it costs
| Engagement type | Starting at |
|---|---|
| One-time SEO audit | $750 |
| Monthly SEO (local small business) | $500/month |
| Monthly SEO (competitive market or multi-location) | $1,000+/month |
SEO is ongoing work. One-time fixes help, but search rankings reflect consistent effort over months. Most clients commit to a minimum of 6 months because that’s roughly how long it takes to see meaningful, measurable change.
Start with an audit
Not sure if you need SEO yet? A one-time SEO audit ($750) gives you a clear picture of where your site stands:
- Technical health check (speed, crawlability, mobile)
- On-page review of your most important pages
- Local search visibility assessment
- Competitor positioning — who’s outranking you and why
- Prioritized action plan you can hand to anyone, including me
If you decide to move forward with monthly SEO afterward, the audit cost is credited toward your first month.
Competitor analysis is part of the work
You can’t outrank competitors you don’t understand. Every monthly engagement includes ongoing review of who’s ranking for the keywords that matter to your business, what they’re doing well, and where the openings are. No separate fee, no “premium tier” for the basics.
How it works
- Free 30-minute call. We talk about your business, your market, and what success looks like.
- Audit and baseline. I assess where you stand and where the opportunities are.
- Strategy. A clear plan. What we’re targeting, why, and what to expect.
- Execution. My team does the work; I stay your point of contact and own the strategy.
- Monthly reporting. What changed, what it means, what’s next.
What to expect, honestly
SEO is a long game. Here’s what realistic timelines look like for most small business clients:
- Month 1: Audit, fixes, baseline. Don’t expect ranking changes yet.
- Months 2–3: Technical improvements take effect. Some early movement on long-tail keywords.
- Months 4–6: Meaningful ranking gains. Traffic begins to climb. Lead volume starts to follow.
- Months 6–12: Compounding. The work you did in month 2 keeps paying off, plus everything new.
Anyone promising faster results is either lying or about to get you penalized by Google.
Best for
- Local small businesses competing against larger or chain players in search
- Businesses with a decent website but little to no organic traffic
- Anyone tired of relying entirely on referrals, paid ads, or social media
- Owners who want to understand their search performance, not just get a vague monthly PDF
Not the right fit
- Anyone wanting overnight results — they don’t exist
- Businesses unwilling to invest at least 6 months
- Companies with major site or product problems that no amount of SEO will fix
Questions you probably have
Can you guarantee #1 rankings?
No, and you should run from anyone who does. Google’s algorithm changes constantly and no honest SEO can guarantee specific positions. What I can guarantee is steady, white-hat work that builds long-term visibility.
What's the difference between SEO and Google Ads?
Ads put you at the top of search results immediately but stop the moment you stop paying. SEO takes months to build but keeps working long after. Most businesses benefit from both, eventually. I focus on SEO.
Do I need a new website before doing SEO?
Sometimes. If your current site is technically broken, slow, or built on something that can’t be optimized, fixing the site comes first. The audit will tell us.
What if I want to stop after a few months?
You can. Month-to-month, no long-term contract. I just won’t be able to promise the results SEO needs time to produce. Be honest with yourself about your timeline before committing.
Will I work with you directly?
Yes. My team handles execution; I own the strategy and the relationship. You’ll never be passed to a stranger.
