David K.
SEO & AEO Consultant | 10+ Years Experience, Real Organic Growth
If you're a business owner trying to grow leads online right now, you're dealing with a lot at once. Search results look different than they did two years ago. AI overviews are pushing traditional results further down the page. And if you've ever hired an SEO consultant before, there's a decent chance you paid good money for a lot of jargon and not much to show for it. That's the context I'm working in with every client. SEO and GEO/AEO (optimizing for AI-generated answers, not just traditional rankings) have to be treated as one connected strategy, and the person running it needs to actually know what they're doing. I've been doing this for 10+ years across every context: running my own business, freelancing, and three and a half years as Director of Web & SEO Strategy at a busy marketing agency where I managed 30+ client accounts at once. When I went independent again, I made a deliberate choice to keep my client list small so you can work directly with me and get the attention and time you deserve. A few results from recent clients: - Integrative wellness center: 1,265% organic traffic increase in 15 months - CDL training school: 11,700% traffic increase in 6 months - Regional swim school: 255% increase in 7 months - Luxury resort: 72% traffic growth in 7 months Each of those involved a different mix of technical work, content, on-page optimization, and link building. The approach is always built around what your business actually needs, not a template. My background includes WordPress development too, so I can handle both strategy and implementation rather than handing you a report and leaving the work to you. If you want serious SEO handled personally, with clear communication and honest expectations, let's talk.
