Market
SEO Consultant for US Businesses
I help small and mid-size businesses across the United States rank in Google and get cited in AI answers, from local service companies in a single city to national e-commerce brands. You work directly with a senior consultant, with published USD pricing.
The problem
US search is crowded, local, and changing fast.
US businesses compete in the most crowded search market in the world. National brands, directories, and lead-generation sites take many top spots, while local results vary by city, state, and even neighborhood.
Google's AI Overviews launched in the US first, and AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity are widely used for research. US buyers increasingly read an AI summary before they visit any website.
Many US small businesses get stuck between expensive agencies with junior teams and low-cost freelancers without strategy. Neither gives them the senior attention their market needs.
My approach
Senior SEO, priced clearly, for US markets.
I plan SEO around how your customers search in your market, whether that's one metro area, several states, or the whole country. Local businesses get map pack and city-level strategies. National businesses get content, technical, and authority strategies built to compete with larger brands.
Communication is mostly async through email and shared documents, with calls scheduled during your business hours across Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific time. Pricing is published in USD and confirmed in writing before work starts.
