A while ago, I worked with an HVAC business in the Superior WI + Duluth MN area. They had great technicians, real experience, loyal customers but online they were invisible. They were stuck on page 4 of Google while bigger competitors showed up everywhere. They weren’t losing because of service quality. They were losing because they weren’t visible when people searched. In 2 months, I moved them into the Top 3 Map Pack and that is where everything changed: calls increased, booked jobs increased, and they finally became “𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗢𝗕𝗩𝗜𝗢𝗨𝗦 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗜𝗖𝗘” in their local area. 𝙎𝙊 𝙃𝙀𝙍𝙀 𝙄𝙎 𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙄 𝘿𝙊 👇 I help local service businesses and dental clinics become the obvious choice in their city using Local SEO, On-Page SEO, Off-Page SEO, Google Business Profile (GBP) Optimization, Local Citations, Local Link Building, and Local SEO Strategy. When needed, I also deploy Rapid Local SEO Page Deployment to speed up ranking movement. I also optimize for AI Search not just traditional Google Search. I work with AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), and optimization for SGE, ChatGPT Search and Perplexity. Local search is shifting fast and I make sure my clients stay ahead, not behind. 𝙃𝙊𝙒 𝙄 𝘿𝙀𝙇𝙄𝙑𝙀𝙍 𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙐𝙇𝙏𝙎: My process is simple and effective: I run a complete SEO Audit and Competitor SEO Analysis first. Then I create a priority based SEO Improvement Plan so we fix the right things in the right order. When a business owner or agency has an SEO Expert Needed my approach is to create real-world impact, not vanity graphs.
