SEO CONSULTING FOR SMALL BUSINESS
Your Customers Are
Searching Google.
Are They Finding You?
I help small and mid-sized businesses turn organic search into a consistent lead generation channel — more calls, form fills, and qualified traffic from buyers who are already looking for what you offer.
THE PROBLEM
Most SMB Websites Are Invisible on Google
You built a great business. But if your website isn't showing up when buyers search for what you offer, that revenue is going to a competitor who invested in SEO.
The good news: most small business SEO problems are fixable — and the businesses that fix them first win the most ground.

FAQ
Common Questions
Most clients see meaningful results within 4–6 months and significant growth within 9–12 months. SEO compounds over time — the businesses that invest earliest gain the most durable competitive advantage.
You work directly with me — not an account manager who relays requests to a team. I'm the one doing the research, building the strategy, and executing the work. That means faster communication, deeper context on your business, and accountability you won't find at a large agency.
I have experience in home services, healthcare, manufacturing, and B2B services. Each industry has its own search landscape and buyer behavior — I build strategies tailored to your specific market, not a one-size-fits-all playbook.
Not necessarily. I can optimize your existing site in most cases. If your current platform limits what's possible — like some website builders — a migration may be recommended. But it's never required just to get started.
Access to Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and Google Business Profile (if applicable). Less than 30 minutes per month of your time. I handle the heavy lifting — you stay focused on running your business.
Most small businesses should budget $1,000–$3,000 per month for professional SEO services. Below $750/month you typically get template work that won't move the needle; above $5,000/month is usually only justified for competitive industries or larger sites. My retainers start at $1,250/month with a 3-month minimum, then month-to-month.
SEO consultants typically charge between $100–$300/hour or $1,000–$5,000/month on retainer. Hourly engagements suit one-off audits and strategy work; retainers make more sense for ongoing optimization. I structure work as a flat monthly retainer so there's no clock-watching and you know exactly what you're paying.
Yes — for most small businesses, SEO has the highest long-term ROI of any marketing channel. Unlike paid ads (which stop working the moment you stop paying), SEO investments compound. A page that ranks today keeps generating leads for years. The catch: it takes 4–6 months to see meaningful results, so it's worth it if you can wait, and not worth it if you need leads next week.
