Link Building | PR Outreach Specialist | Local SEO & AI Search (GEO)

PR Outreach Specialist | 15+ Years of Experience | Agency Owner Since 2013 | Have Helped Big Brands Like Forbes ● HIGHLY SKILLED IN OUTREACH CAMPAIGNS ● TOP 1% OF FREELANCERS ON UPWORK (check portfolio for screenshot) ● OVER 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN SEO AND IN OUTREACH CAMPAIGNS ● HAVE SERVICED 100S OF CLIENTS IN MANY INDUSTRIES ● HIGHLY RATED WITH A GREAT TRACK RECORD Hey, thanks for taking the time to check out my profile! I am an expert digital marketer and have been doing this for 15+ years, so you can trust that I'm not an SEO quack. Additionally, I also stay up with the times, and I am well-versed in AI optimization. If you're not including AI optimization in your SEO strategy, you'll get left behind. I have been running my own digital marketing agency since 2013. I am an SEO professional and SEO strategist, and I try to make a point to listen to clients' needs rather than assuming what they want. I also try to make a point to provide top-notch communication for all clients. Knowing what is happening is important. At the moment, I only offer a few types of deliverables, and those are: ●Outreach Campaigns to secure: media placements / mentions / citations / connections / shoutouts / partnerships / interviews / ETC ● Local SEO for search engines and optimization for AI search (GEO, also known as AIO, or AEO). ● High-level local SEO video audits ● Backlink building Campaigns For National And Local Companies I have niched out to do just those above. I am available every day except the weekend. Scroll down for a brief rundown of each service category that I offer. I have worked with a lot of business owners, marketing managers, and even agency owners/managers over time. BACKLINK BUILDING CAMPAIGNS (Link building campaigns) I've been doing this for years, and this is probably the strongest skill in my toolbox. With links you get: ● Website authority and Google Visibility ● Better Google AI Visibility ● A More Robust Online Brand You get to approve all link-building leads. All leads are checked for spam before you see them. LOCAL SEO AND AI SEARCH OPTIMIZATION (aka GEO, aka AEO, aka AIO) - GET FOUND LOCALLY I can take SEO out of the equation for your local business's website for both search engines and for AI search. One part of the puzzle is making sure that your content is optimized for both search engines and AI, and I try to take care of this in month one (the optimization and setup phase). After month 1, your account enters the recurring task phase. Depending on the competition, the timing changes but usually within 3 months, your website's traffic has improved by a good amount, and rankings may be where you want them. SEO and AI optimization take time and three months is only the minimum amount of time to see results. It can take much longer. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to pull a fast one on you. I've ranked many local sites and sometimes within a month. Competition plays a large role in the ability to rank fast. Usually, you're looking at 3-6 months if you're not already on top. LOCAL AND NATIONAL OUTREACH CAMPAIGNS - MEDIA PLACEMENTS / MENTIONS / LINKS / CITATIONS / CONNECTIONS / SHOUTOUTS / PARTNERSHIPS / INTERVIEWS / ETC - Create demand, publicity, and authority for your company. Outreach is probably the one skill that has built my business and has allowed me to become successful. Currently, there isn't an outreach campaign that I wouldn't take on, provided it's reasonably attainable. Let me know what your outreach goals are and what you want to achieve and I'll send you a quote for the project. It's important to note here that outreach is highly dependent on chance, so having a broader goal in mind is best. - Compared to something like "I want to get on one website only". You're looking at a low success rate if you just want one site/publication/connection/influencer/ETC ● I'm highly specialized in outreach campaigns for almost all of my career. For over 10 years, this is all I did. ● For outreach jobs in which a response from the contact you want is needed, you will always get the chance to approve all leads that come in. Nothing goes live or continues without your approval. ● Within the PR placement world, there is trash, and I weed all of this out for you. I look for quality, and I have a qualification criterion to weed out bad leads. ● Any content is made by real humans, not AI ● All placements are quality-checked before they get to you Types of placements/deals you could hire me for could be the following: ● Website placements in the form of backlinks, mentions, or citations. ● Broadcast, podcast, TV, or radio interviews ● Placements in newspapers, news websites, magazines (on and offline) ● Influencer engagements - social media, YouTube, etc ● Getting speaking engagements or getting on a panel ● Booking appointments with high-value people/organizations - political figures, industry thought leaders, experts, ETC
