Search engine optimization — SEO — is the lifeblood of not just your website but your whole company. The most beautiful, perfectly worded, carefully built site in the world is worth nothing if no one can find it. I write code search engines love, every line from scratch, which gives me an uncommon level of control over all of it. When search standards shift — or rather, when they shift — I can adjust your site at a granular level that WordPress shops simply can't match.
What does "SEO expert" actually mean?
The SEO industry is full of swindlers and charlatans. That's just a fact. Plenty of people claim to be experts when really they've installed a free, turnkey plugin anyone could install and are working down a checklist to satisfy some arbitrary score. They hand you a curated report and crow "look, your number went up!" while your actual ranking barely moves. Why? Because their process is identical to everyone else's.
Google's trillion-dollar business is built on showing people the best possible answer to their question. That means it rewards relevant, high-quality, original work and punishes sameness. It's no wonder so many small-business sites struggle when nine in ten are built on the exact same templates. How is Google supposed to tell who's better when everyone is the same?
One reliable way to spot snake oil: get your information about what Google does and doesn't care about straight from Google. Every claim I make about how Google ranks you can be backed by a direct citation from Google itself.
So how do I do it differently?
Pricing SEO is specific to you, your market, and your business, so I start with honesty. I pull the unfiltered reports from several independent sources and tell you plainly what can — and can't — realistically be improved. I don't cherry-pick or massage the numbers, and I use multiple sources at once so you get a dispassionate read on exactly where you stand and whether you're even targeting the search terms worth targeting. That entire quoting process is free. If you don't hire me, I still want you walking away with real, unfiltered data.
If you do hire me, you won't get a curated monthly PDF — you'll get live access to the same reporting I use, right inside your Gravity Fox dashboard. Your keyword rankings update daily through SE Ranking and sit alongside your Google Analytics traffic and your actual lead inquiries: rankings, traffic, and leads on one screen. You rank here, so you get this traffic, so you get these leads. Check it any time. No report to wait for, no meeting to sit through.
That means my business doesn't run on looking busy. Some weeks your rankings are holding and there's little to do; some weeks a competitor forces real work to defend your position. I bill monthly, on purpose — the onus is on me to keep earning it, and you can walk away any month I'm not delivering, with no annual contract. The honest catch: real SEO and AIO results take time to compound, so this is a sustained build, not a switch you flip for a month or two and shut off. Instead of a manufactured monthly slide deck, I keep the proof live in your dashboard — your rankings either moved or they didn't, and you can check any day.
What does quality SEO cost?
There's no set figure, because there's no set situation. Reach out for a real quote and I'll walk you through the specific approach your case calls for once I have what I need to judge the timeline and difficulty honestly.
