Your Business Is the Best-Kept Secret in Town. Let's Fix That.
You do excellent work. Your customers leave five-star reviews. But when someone in your area Googles the service you provide, they're finding a competitor who figured out how to show up online.
You've been in business long enough to know your craft inside out. You do excellent work. Your customers leave five-star reviews. But when someone in your area Googles the service you provide, they're finding a competitor — maybe one that's been around half as long but figured out how to show up online.
That's a visibility problem, not a quality problem. And it's completely solvable.
I build websites for small businesses and tradespeople with local SEO built in from day one. Not as an upsell. Not as a six-month project. As the foundation of a website that actually does its job — getting you found by people in your area who are ready to buy.
Local SEO in Plain English
Local SEO sounds like marketing jargon, but the concept is simple: it's making sure your business shows up when someone nearby searches for what you do.
Every time someone types "HVAC repair near me" or "best pizza in [your city]," Google decides who to show based on three things — how relevant your business is to the search, how close you are to the person searching, and how much it trusts your online presence.
If your website doesn't clearly tell Google your location, your services, and your credibility, you're not going to rank. Doesn't matter that you've been in business 15 years. Doesn't matter that you have 200 Google reviews. If the technical foundation isn't right, Google looks right past you.
Local SEO builds that foundation. It aligns your website, your Google Business Profile, and your digital footprint so that Google connects you with the customers searching in your zip code.
How This Works in Practice
Every site I build includes local SEO as a core feature, not a premium add-on that gets pitched after launch:
Geo-targeted pages — your city, surrounding towns, and service area woven naturally into your content so Google knows exactly where you work.
Google Business Profile optimization — your GBP gets set up correctly and aligned with your website. This is critical for appearing in the local map pack — the three listings that show up at the top of local searches.
Service + location page strategy — if you're a plumber in Austin who also covers Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Georgetown, each area gets targeted content so you're competing in multiple local markets.
Technical SEO handled — page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, local schema markup, mobile speed optimization. The behind-the-scenes work that most business owners never see but Google absolutely does.
Review strategy guidance — Google reviews are one of the top three ranking factors for local search. Most business owners don't have a consistent system for asking. I'll help you set one up.

Why This Is Smarter Than an SEO Retainer
SEO agencies in the US charge anywhere from $500 to $2,000+ per month for local SEO services. For a small business, that's a massive recurring expense — and the results can take months to show up, if they show up at all.
A lot of that monthly spend goes toward fixing problems that shouldn't have existed in the first place. The agency builds you a website without local SEO in mind, then charges you monthly to bolt it on afterward. You're essentially paying twice.
My approach cuts that cycle. Your website is built with local search baked into every page from the start. The structure, the content, the technical setup — it's all optimized before launch. You're not paying someone monthly to do what should have been done correctly from day one.
You wouldn't hire a contractor to build a deck and then hire a second one to make it level. Same logic applies here.
Lite or Pro plan, billed monthly. No large upfront fee. No annual contract. I build the site, you review and approve it, and billing starts only once you give the green light. Cancel anytime with 30 days' notice. T&Cs apply.
Start Showing Up Where Your Customers Are Searching
Your competitors don't have better services. They have better visibility. A website built on a solid local SEO foundation changes that equation — putting your business in front of the people in your area who are actively looking for what you offer, right now.
No jargon. No mystery reports. Just a website that earns its keep.
