Matthew Pfeifer here. I have been doing SEO and data analysis since before AI meant ChatGPT, going back to machine-learning analytics in tools like KNIME over a decade ago. Today I put modern AI to work for businesses, building sites that get found in Google and cited in AI answers like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Over 15 years, across agencies and as a marketing director and CMO, I have worked with 260+ businesses. About 94% saw their traffic grow, more than a dozen hit seven-figure lifts, and the work has added over $50M in revenue. People call me when visibility is flat, traffic has stalled, or they are nowhere to be found in AI search. I fix the foundation and the strategy so the brand shows up where buyers actually look now. A few results: - Gardening manufacturer: AI optimization moved average position from 48 to 18, with over half of keywords now in the top 5 - 45-location franchise: +267% leads and +2,500% organic traffic on a 7-figure ad budget - Luxury vacation rentals: +89% organic traffic in 9 months, tied to about $3M in revenue - Medical clinic: +72% booked appointments - Industrial manufacturer: +180% organic growth I run the whole engine: AI search optimization (GEO and AEO), technical and local SEO, Google and Meta ads, conversion optimization, and GA4 and GTM tracking that ties the work to revenue. I also step in as a fractional marketing leader when a brand needs direction, not just execution. If you are not showing up in AI search yet, that is your opening. Message me and let's set up a quick 15-minute call. ____ My Services also include: SEO, AI Optimization, GEO, AEO, Technical SEO, Local SEO, GA4, Google Ads, Fractional CMO, B2B SEO

"As a business owner or manager, you know that hiring the wrong person is the most costly mistake you can make." - Brian Tracy, International Speaker. If you're reviewing my profile now, you're well aware how difficult, time consuming and frustrating it can be to find the right person. Pick the wrong person and you're out money, time and opportunity. Pick the right person and... ...your project will triumph without your constant intervention. Because you want a provider who knows what needs to be done, does it and then keeps you informed of what they did. That's where I come in. I'm a master Google Ads craftsman who has... ...spent the past 24 years mastering my craft ...booked more than $1,000,000 in total sales on Upwork ...a 99% success ratio ...been Expert-Vetted by Upwork ...almost 10,576 hours booked and billed in Upwork ...completed 889 total jobs in Upwork ...worked in every niche you can imagine and encountered the issues with each of those ...been certified by Google for almost 15 years ...scored in the top 10% of all Google Ads test takers on Upwork The most important question you're probably asking is if I'm the right person for what your project. Of course, I can answer that better in a one-on-one conversation but here's what you can expect from me if you hire me: 1) honest, direct communication 2) realistic expectations 3) details about potential pitfalls you need to know about 4) I will always adhere to your budget 5) I always only make recommendations that are for the benefit of you, your project and your needs 6) quick responses to any questions (except on the weekend when I don't work) 7) regular zooms/google meets to discuss your project and our status 8) urgent warnings about roadblocks that could hurt your PPC account In other words, you'll get a professional who is passionate about his work and his responsibilities. If I don't think I can bring value to your project, I will let you know. In fact there are several niches that I stay away from because I don't bring value. Even with all the middling advances in AI's use in marketing, you want a steady hand and a human touch who hand crafts your ad copy themself. That's what I provide. If your project encompasses any of these platforms: Google Ads PPC (All campaign types) Bing PPC (All campaign types) Facebook PPC (All campaign types) Still not sure about hiring me?

Overall, it was a pleasure to work with Tim and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for help with their Google Ad Campaigns." - Miranda P. "Tim is a great asset to our marketing team. He gets things done quickly and efficiently and is always ready to do more! I highly recommend him." - Raj J. I look forward to us taking your business to the next level.

If your WordPress site has already been "optimized" and the numbers still don't move — that's the work I do. 24 years in web infrastructure. 12 years focused exclusively on WordPress. I specialize in the performance problems that persist after everyone else has "fixed it": LCP that won't drop below 4 seconds, TTFB creeping back up after a caching plugin, INP failures on Elementor-heavy pages, CLS triggered by late-loading assets nobody thought to audit. I work at the server level — SSH, MySQL, Apache, and PHP configuration — because that's where these problems actually live. I work in Elementor Pro daily. Most CWV problems on Elementor sites aren't WordPress problems — they're builder-level problems. Bloated DOM output, render-blocking widget scripts, unoptimized dynamic CSS. I fix them at the source, not by bolting on another optimization plugin. WHAT I SPECIALIZE IN Core Web Vitals & PageSpeed: LCP, INP, CLS, TTFB, TBT — full CrUX and lab score analysis Server-level optimization via SSH (Apache or NGINX) MySQL query profiling and database optimization PHP configuration, memory limits, and error resolution Server-side caching (Redis, Memcached) and Cloudflare CDN Render-blocking resource elimination at the code level Elementor-specific DOM and script optimization Real user metrics, not just lab scores Technical SEO: Hand-coded JSON-LD schema — not plugin-generated .htaccess for redirects and canonicalization robots.txt and llms.txt for traditional and AI crawler control Crawl error diagnosis via server log analysis RankMath Pro configuration and optimization WordPress Infrastructure: Migrations between hosts with zero downtime Staging environment setup and backup protocols Security hardening at the server and file permission level cPanel, WHM, and Kinsta environment management Ongoing maintenance with monthly reporting CLIENT RESULTS Corporate services site (2025): 47 hand-coded JSON-LD schemas — Service, Person, FAQ, AggregateRating with page-level targeting. Site health 88% to 99%. PageSpeed desktop +32 points. Delivered 5 days early, zero validation errors. Local business (2024): SEMrush visibility +25.6% in four months. 14 new top-3 keyword rankings. 92% site health score. E-commerce (2024): Domain authority 0 to 36 in under a year. Google Ads CPC dropped from $163 to $0.30 — 99.8% reduction in ad spend through organic visibility gains. Nonprofit (2020-2025): Inherited site with zero DA. Audit found database timeouts, 300+ broken redirects, unparseable schema — none addressed by the previous agency. Fixed all three. Result: 400%+ organic traffic increase, DA 0 to 25. WHO I WORK BEST WITH You're a good fit if: - Your site has CWV failures or PageSpeed scores that survived a previous optimization attempt - You've hired someone for this before and got a report instead of results - Your site runs Elementor, and performance is degrading as the content grows - You need server access, not just dashboard access - Your budget is $1,000- $5,000 for project work. WordPress only. Not the right fit for Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, or basic plugin updates. TOOLS Performance: GTmetrix, PageSpeed Insights, CrUX, SEMrush, Search Console WordPress: Elementor Pro, Perfmatters, EWWW Image Optimizer, RankMath Pro Server: SSH, cPanel, WHM, phpMyAdmin, MySQL, Apache, NGINX Hosting: Kinsta, WP Engine, SiteGround, A2, Liquid Web, Cloudflare Minneapolis-based (CST). All work through Upwork.
