SEO Growth Strategist & Search Marketing Lead | B2B SaaS & E-Commerce

I help small and growth-stage businesses build search visibility that actually drives leads — not just traffic. Over the past year I took a wholesale distribution SaaS brand from minimal page-one presence to ranking #1–#3 for competitive commercial terms like "wholesale ordering system" and "online ordering software for distributors" — growing organic impressions nearly 3x year-over-year. That's the result of combining technical SEO, intent-driven page creation, keyword architecture, and ongoing Search Console analysis into one focused system. I've also built businesses from scratch. I launched an e-commerce store from zero — handling the site build, SEO, Google Ads, and customer experience entirely solo — and generated $12,000 in first-quarter sales. That founder-level perspective shapes how I approach every client's search program: I think about what actually moves revenue, not what looks good in a report. What I bring to your search program: → Organic + paid search alignment — I manage Google Ads campaigns alongside SEO, which means I understand how buyer intent flows across both channels and how to prioritize accordingly. → End-to-end execution — I don't hand you a roadmap and disappear. I own the work: audits, keyword mapping, page creation, on-page optimization, internal linking, and content structure. → Buyer-first thinking — My background spans B2B and B2C across multiple industries. I'm unusually good at getting inside the customer's head and building search programs around how real buyers actually search. → Revenue-focused prioritization — I focus on the queries your buyers actually use, not the ones that inflate traffic reports. → Evolving with search — I stay current on how search is changing, including AEO and GEO strategies that help B2B brands maintain visibility as AI Overviews and generative search reshape how buyers discover solutions. I've built and managed search programs across 8+ business units simultaneously, producing 15–30 optimized pages per month and achieving #1 rankings across multiple brands and content types. I work best as a long-term partner, not a one-time vendor — and I have the client history to show it. If your pipeline depends on search and you need someone who can diagnose, prioritize, and execute without hand-holding, let's talk. Available Mon–Fri, Pacific Time.
