✔️ OVER 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN SEO
✔️ HAVE SERVICED 100S OF CLIENTS IN MANY INDUSTRIES
✔️ HIGHLY RATED WITH A GREAT TRACK RECORD
✔️ AI OPTIMIZATION INCLUDED
Hey, thanks for taking the time to check out my profile!
I am an expert digital marketer and have been doing this for 15+ years, so you can trust that I'm not an SEO quack. Additionally, I also stay up with the times, and I am well-versed in AI optimization. If you're not including AI optimization into your SEO strategy, you'll get left behind.
I have been running my own digital marketing agency since 2013. I am an SEO professional and SEO strategist, and I try to make a point to listen to clients' needs rather than assuming what they want. I also try to make a point to provide top-notch communication for all clients. You knowing what is happening is important.
At the moment, I only offer a couple types of deliverables, and those are:
🟢Outreach Campaigns to secure: media placements / mentions / links / citations / connections / shoutouts / partnerships / interviews / ETC
🟢Local SEO for search engines and optimization for AI search (GEO, also known as AIO).
🟢High-level local SEO video audits
I used to do all SEO but now I have niched out to do just those above. I am available most of the time. Scroll down for a brief rundown of each service category that I offer. I have worked with a lot of business owners, marketing managers, and even agency owners/managers over time.
✔️ 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐄𝐎 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐈 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐚𝐤𝐚 𝐆𝐄𝐎, 𝐚𝐤𝐚 𝐀𝐄𝐎, 𝐚𝐤𝐚 𝐀𝐈𝐎) - 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲
I can take SEO out of the equation for your local business's website for both search engines and for AI search. One part of the puzzle is making sure that your content is optimized for both search engines and AI, and I try to take care of this in month one (the optimization and setup phase). After month 1, your account enters the recurring task phase. Depending on the competition, the timing changes but usually within 3 months, your website's traffic has improved by a good amount, and rankings may be where you want them. SEO and AI optimization take time and three months is only the minimum amount of time to see results. It can take much longer. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to pull a fast one on you. I've ranked many local sites and sometimes within a month. Competition plays a large role in the ability to rank fast. Usually, you're looking at 3-6 months if you're not already on top.

Outreach is probably the one skill that has built my business and has allowed me to become successful. Currently, there isn't an outreach campaign that I wouldn't take on, provided it's reasonably attainable. Let me know what your outreach goals are and what you want to achieve and I'll send you a quote for the project. It's important to note here that outreach is highly dependent on chance, so having a broader goal in mind is best. - Compared to something like "I want to get on one website only". You're looking at a low success rate if you just want one site/publication/connection/influencer/ETC
🟢 I'm highly specialized in outreach campaigns for almost all of my career. For over 10 years, this is all I did.
🟢 For outreach jobs in which a response from the contact you want is needed, you will always get the chance to approve all leads that come in. Nothing goes live or continues without your approval.
🟢Within the PR and Link Building placement world, there is trash, and I weed all of this out for you. I look for quality, and I have a qualification criterion to weed out bad leads.
🟢 Any content is made by real humans, not AI
🟢 All placements are quality-checked before they get to you
Types of placements/deals you could hire me for could be the following:
🟢Website placements in the form of backlinks, mentions, or citations.
🟢Broadcast, podcast, TV, or radio interviews
🟢Placements in newspapers, news websites, magazines (on and offline)
🟢Influencer engagements - social media, YouTube, etc
🟢Getting speaking engagements or getting on a panel
🟢Booking appointments with high-value people/organizations - political figures, industry thought leaders, experts, ETC
🟢Getting partnerships

I work with two audiences: Job Seekers & Doctors aiming to match in residency and fellowship programs.
Doctors:
Are you aiming to match in 2027?
Let's work together to showcase your value with clarity and confidence.
I've been helping doctors match in residency and fellowship programs since 2016, with the vast majority of the people I work with matching in one of their top programs. I primarily support people with interview preparation through mock interviews, an AI speech coach program, video recordings of great answers, and a robust written guidebook 75+ pages with everything from common questions and answers, letter or interest and thank you templates, to effective communication techniques.
While I specialize in supporting international medical graduates (IMGs), I work with American doctors as well.
Job Seekers:
→ I host the Express to Impress podcast, where I share stories and tips to help business professionals communicate clearly, confidently, and effectively in job interviews and the workplace.
I am a communication and interview coach, and for years, I’ve been helping people express themselves well to impress other people and get what they want. As a member of the Society for Human Resource Management, the largest Human Resources industry professional association, I stay informed about recruiting best practices.
Servicing a broad range of clients – university students, new grads, mid-career professionals, career changers, ESL job seekers, and remote job seekers – I have helped hundreds of people to land interviews. My clients get job offers from employers such as Ernst & Young and PwC. I also have extensive on-the-job talent acquisition experience and secured positions in the nonprofit, private, higher education, and startup sectors.
Recognizing the needs of clients who have been stuck for months – people who have applied to countless jobs but aren’t getting interviews or people who go on interviews but don’t receive job offers – I built the five-hour online course “How to Land Your Next Job” to offer solutions that work. The course helps job seekers fix mistakes with their resumes, cover letters, online presence, LinkedIn profiles, interview answers and etiquette, approach to finding jobs, and more so that they can get a job fast.
