Why Choose SEO Consulting?
Stop wasting time and money trying to figure out SEO on your own. If you want to learn what SEO steps will help you scale up to that next level of growth, then a one-hour SEO strategy call is exactly what you need.
Who is this SEO Consultation session designed for?
- Entrepreneurs and marketers with specific questions about their SEO content strategy and on-page optimization.
- Solopreneurs looking to get more organic traffic from Google (and tired of depending solely on social media).
- Local businesses (like contractors or service professionals) who want to reach more best-fit clients via Google Business.
- Businesses or organizations who need advice on a specific SEO issue or question (like website structure or technical SEO setup).
Generally, I recommend a full SEO setup or local kickstart project for businesses who are serious about growing their leads and sales. That’s not the best fit for every situation, however. You might be unsure if SEO is right for your industry. Or, maybe you’re determined to go the DIY route.

SEO Consulting Topics
Website Structure
Too many great businesses are giving away Google traffic to other websites, simply because their website has some technical SEO settings wrong. We’ll run technical checks on your site and discuss any priority issues you should focus on. Internal links are one of the most common opportunities we find.
SEO Content Strategy
Effective content marketing starts with audience-focused topical research. Great keyword research will only take you so far. High-quality content connects directly with people (and Google). I’ll show you how to discover the right search intent you need to target. You’ll walk away with several content ideas that fit your business goals.
Local SEO
If you’re trying to reach a local audience, there are some basic steps you can take to make sure your target audience can find you. We’ll discuss the best search engine optimization strategies to build your authority and climb those local rankings.
Technical SEO Problems
Technical SEO isn’t usually the biggest growth driver for businesses, but it’s crucial you have everything set up correctly. Without the right settings and tools connected, your site won’t even be listed in the search engine rankings!
On-Page Optimization Tips
On-page SEO is all about fine-tuning your website’s content and technical aspects to be more appealing to both search engines and visitors. It’s like putting up a clear and inviting sign for your website in the vast online world.
Google Business Verification
Google Business has a history of slow verification. I’ve helped several local businesses unravel the complicated requirements blocking their official Google Maps verification and can guide you in the right direction.
