Questions clients ask before hiring me.
Straight answers, no jargon.
Most clients see meaningful ranking improvements in 3–6 months. Google Business Profile optimization often produces call and direction-request lifts within the first 30–60 days. Seattle Coffee Co. hit #1 for their top term in 7 months.
46% of all Google searches have local intent, and 88% of "near me" searches lead to a call or visit within 24 hours. If you're not ranking in the Map Pack, those customers are going to a competitor instead.
You can claim and update your Google Business Profile yourself. But ranking consistently requires ongoing keyword research, citation building, technical fixes, and review management — that's where a dedicated local SEO expert saves you time and avoids costly mistakes.
I track rankings, traffic, calls, and direction requests with Google Analytics and Search Console, and send clear monthly reports. Austin Fitness Hub, for example, tripled leads in 6 months — fully documented.
Yes. While I've featured clients in Chicago, Seattle, Austin, and New York, I work with local businesses nationwide across the USA — including Sacramento, Fresno, San Diego, and beyond.
I only use Google-approved tactics: real content, genuine citations, honest reviews, and earned links. No spun content, fake reviews, link farms, or keyword stuffing — the kind of shortcuts that get sites penalized.
Yes. Alongside traditional local SEO, I apply AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) so your business is more likely to be surfaced in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity answers.
