Search Engine Marketing (SEM/SEO) Expert

Specializes in Search Engine Marketing
Please note, i recently closed 50+ years-old, completed projects so my reviews are pushed down. Google has updated it's search engine indexing algorithms on a regular basis. I've put untold hours into developing ways to overcome these obstacles. So if your organic traffic isn't coming in like you need it to, get in touch, and i'll take a look! If you can benefit from a systematic SEO audit, I'll show you why. All SEO inititatives should be delivering significant, material, and measurable returns to your business. Do you have a good understanding of that in financial terms, including timely, readable reports? Do you have good technical (on-page) SEO? Is your content compelling? Is your content indexed? I provide these SEM/SEO services: ✅ Google Search Engine Optimization (SEO) ✅ Microsoft Search Engine Optimization (SEO) ✅ Microsoft Shopping Campaign Feed Precision Optimization ✅ Google Shopping Campaigns Feed Precision Optimization ✅ SEO Campaign Alerts, Monitoring, and Reporting ✅ Excellent Client Support Since mid-2016, I've had the opportunity to create, rebuild, optimize, and manage many successful ad campaigns on the two leading paid search platforms, pushing each PPC campaign type to it's natural limits, maximizing performance for both lead generation, and eCommerce. During this period, i've also offered SEO services to select clients. Now, as automation makes PPC less time consuming, i am expanding SEO services availability. I have some of the best SEO campaign monitoring, alert, optimization, and reporting software available. Your campaigns will continue to improve for a modest monthly cost that easily pays for itself. Per Upwork client rating feedback from over 16,000 hours of project work, my 'Job Success Score' (JSS) from clients has been pinned at 99-100% range for five years. 43% of my Upwork clients taken on since 2016 utilize my services in some capacity on a continuing, long-term basis. I've developed highly detailed, systematic processes for crafting each type of SEO campaign to suit your business needs. I strive to get every detail right, sparing no effort to create campaigns that generate significant returns for my clients. I publish educational information for search advertisers on blastofflabs dot com; new site is approaching launch later this month (April 2023). I post articles delving into many aspects of paid search advertising, including developments in search engine optimization (SEO), trends in search, click attribution, sales funnel optimization, CRO, machine learning, responsive ads, conversion rate optimization, attribution modeling, shopping feed optimization, and related search engine marketing (SEM) topics. Some posts are short video screencasts that clarify concepts using custom vector graphics, bringing the inner workings of search engine marketing to life. In 2017 I became a Google "Badged Partner", and I'm a Microsoft Agency Partner. I'm active on the Google SEM/SEO Community Forums, collaborating with fellow SEO and PPC pros. Project work is completed in my South Reno, NV office with no outsourcing or subcontracting of any client work. My office has 85" TV screens set up to monitor SEO and PPC campaign metrics, charts, alerts, and intraday workflow updates. All search engine marketing work is setup with are 100% Google Analytics 4 (GA4) tracking from the start so that data can be utilized in my optimization work. I look forward to discussing how I may be able to help you get more out of search engine marketing!

"My Google Ads campaigns crashed. Impressions, clicks, and conversions literally fell off a cliff. I worked with my Google Rep without success. I was able to get impressions and clicks back up, but the conversions didn't follow (and I've been managing paid search campaigns since before Google existed). Steve and his team identified the problem, a problem that alluded us for 60 days, I'm almost embarrassed to say, in less than two hours. We are now in the process of rebuilding the campaigns and making the necessary on-site changes. Their technical understanding is deep and wide, and Steve is exactly the type of person you need digging into tough issues. I can recommend him and his team without reservation."

Testimonials

Endorsements from past clients

"We've been working with Steve since 2016 and he has always been top tier. Before meeting Steve, we had worked with several other Google Ads specialists and were more just button pushers. Steve and his team are true Google Ads experts with deep knowledge in how to run wildly profitable campaigns. Whether you're running 5-figure or 6-figure/month campaigns you can trust that Steve knows exactly what he's doing better than Google. With all the present changes happening I can think of no one better to manage your campaign. Steve also has deep roots in Silicon Valley, so working with him you're getting far more than a Google Ads wizard, you're getting one of the best in the industry. HIRE HIM NOW!"
