15+ years in SEO, $1M+ earned on Upwork, Expert-Vetted (Top 1%). Ai & Programmatic SEO Expert. I help two types of businesses dominate organic search: eCommerce brands that are over-reliant on paid ads, and high-ticket local service businesses where one new client pays for a month of SEO. Both share the same blind spot: SEO isn't just Google anymore. Your customers are discovering products and services through ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews โ€” and most SEO strategies ignore that entirely. For eCommerce (DTC, Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce): You're spending $50K+/month on paid ads and organic is stuck at 10-15% of revenue. You've either never invested properly in SEO or you hired an agency that delivered reports instead of results. I build the organic engine that compounds while your ad costs keep climbing โ€” and I optimize your product pages and content to get cited by LLMs, not just indexed by Google. For local service businesses (medspas, clinics, legal, luxury services): You're invisible in the local pack, your competitors have 30 location pages and you have zero, and your Google Business Profile is an afterthought. When someone asks Perplexity "best medspa in Scottsdale" or ChatGPT for a moving company recommendation, I make sure you're the answer. What I deliver: โ†’ SEO strategy tied to revenue โ€” not vanity rankings reports โ†’ Technical SEO and site architecture โ€” I build and fix sites directly on Shopify, WordPress, Webflow, and Next.js โ†’ AI search optimization โ€” structured data, entity authority, and content architecture designed to get your brand cited across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini โ†’ Content architecture that builds topical authority โ€” whether that's 500 product pages or 30 city landing pages โ†’ Local SEO infrastructure โ€” GBP optimization, programmatic location pages, schema hierarchy, review strategy โ†’ Link building โ€” white-hat editorial placements that move the needle โ†’ Site migrations and redesigns without losing traffic โ€” I implement directly, no waiting on your dev team Results: โ†’ Saranoni โ€” #1 for "toddler blanket" competing against Amazon โ†’ EasySigns โ€” +594% organic traffic in 12 months โ†’ Styylish โ€” #1 for "Biedermeier Furniture," outranking Wikipedia โ†’ Neatly Moving โ€” Built full local SEO infrastructure from zero: 30 location pages, schema markup, GBP optimization, route pages โ†’ Martha Stewart โ€” Built the internal SEO team and strategy from scratch Tools: Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, GA4, Search Console Based in Boston. Send me your site URL and current traffic numbers โ€” I'll tell you if I can help.
