The most knowledgeable SEO expert we've talked to — after going through several premium SEO agencies."
That's a client review from this profile. It describes most of the people who hire me: they were already paying someone for SEO, and they wanted the truth about what they were getting.
Here's the truth most agencies won't volunteer: search is splitting in two. Your customers still Google you — but now they also ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews, and the AI answers before your website ever enters the picture. Getting chosen by those answers is a different discipline — AEO (answer engine optimization) and GEO (generative engine optimization) — built on top of the technical SEO and local SEO fundamentals that decide who gets cited.
That's the work I do:
► AI Search Visibility Audit (AEO/GEO) — what ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews currently say about your business, why, and exactly what to change ► Technical SEO audits — site architecture, schema and structured data, crawlability, indexation ► Local SEO — Google Business Profile, local pack rankings, citations ► Second opinions on agency work — an honest read of what you're actually paying for
Receipts, not adjectives: $200K+ earned on this platform. 104 jobs. 8,200+ tracked hours. I've done this work since 2009 — long enough to have watched every shortcut era die, which is why I can tell you what's snake oil now. In 17 years of reviews below, no client has written a negative sentence. Read them all.
A few more, because their words beat mine:
"He took our business from nowhere of relevancy to ranking on Google pages very quickly." "Matt did an unbelievably good job analysing our SEO... he really went above and beyond." "Significantly increased my revenues by giving me a winning strategy."
What I won't do: — Sell you deliverables you don't need. — Guarantee rankings. Nobody honest can. — Pretend your current agency is failing if it isn't. If they're doing good work, I'll tell you. It happens.
How engagements usually run: a fixed-price audit first (see my Project Catalog below), a strategy consultation if you want a roadmap, and ongoing monthly advisory for businesses that want me in their corner. Most of my long-term clients started with a small audit.
Message me your URL and your biggest frustration. I'll tell you honestly whether an audit is worth your money.

Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people—and the right marketing strategy is the key to building that team.
Here's what most business owners don't realize until it's too late: your ads can be performing better than your dashboard says, or worse. And you won't know which until your tracking is actually telling the truth.
iOS privacy changes, Safari and Firefox blocking third-party cookies, and rising ad-blocker use mean Pixel-only tracking now misses a real share of conversions. Meta's algorithm optimizes on whatever data it receives, if that data is incomplete, you're not just missing reports, you're paying to train your campaigns on the wrong signal.
I'm Esther, a Meta Ads and SEO specialist focused on one thing: making sure the data behind your marketing is actually accurate before we try to grow anything on top of it. I fix the tracking layer first, then build growth through paid ads and organic search working together, not in isolation.
What I do for my clients:
Meta Ads & Tracking
• Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) campaign management — structure, audience strategy, creative testing, budget optimization
• Conversions API (CAPI) setup — server-side tracking via Google Tag Manager, Shopify/WooCommerce native integrations, or Meta Events Manager
• Event Match Quality (EMQ) optimization and event deduplication, so your Pixel and CAPI report the same, accurate reality
SEO — Technical & Content
• Technical SEO audits — site speed, crawlability, indexing issues, schema markup, Google Analytics & Search Console setup
• Content-based SEO — keyword research, on-page optimization, content briefs and structure that target real search intent
• The result: organic traffic that's tracked as accurately as your paid traffic, so you can see what's actually working
How I work: audit first, fix the foundation, then run or optimize on top of it — never guessing, always measuring.

Fractional CMO / CGO helping B2B SaaS & FinTech companies scale revenue via proven growth plans & smarter full-funnel marketing automation.

I turn chaotic marketing into predictable growth. 25+ yrs scaling B2C, B2B, SaaS, AI, MedTech, finance & FinTech brands. My fractional CMO clients return after the audit for fCMO consulting because my methodical, transparent approach delivers repeatable, scalable wins without full-time overhead.

Pipeline velocity is my focus. Capital-efficient marketing ops with multi-stakeholder consensus is how I get there.

2) Thereafter, my paid Fractional CMO consulting, vendor/teams vetting and rollout guidance consulting is available thereafter to lead the rollout.

I build and fix conversion-focused websites that are fast, get found in Google and AI search, and turn visitors into customers.
⚠️ Most AI-built and DIY sites have the same problem: they look great and run terrible.
Slow loads, weak conversions, no real SEO, invisible to AI search, analytics that tell you nothing. A site that looks good but doesn't perform is just an expensive brochure. That's what I fix.
What makes me different is I come at it from three sides. I'm a product designer, a marketer, and a developer. So your site 🔎looks right, 🧽runs clean, and is 💪built to rank and convert, instead of nailing one and dropping the other two.
What I can take off your plate:
🍔New conversion-focused builds, start to finish
🌮Rescuing stalled or AI-generated sites and making them actually perform
🌭SEO, answer-engine optimization for AI search, page speed, indexing, and analytics done right (GA4, event tracking)
🍜Landing pages and funnels built to convert
I can build you something new or take over a site you're stuck on, including AI builds that got you 70% of the way there and stalled. I work in Webflow and Framer so you can manage it yourself afterward, Shopify for storefronts, and HubSpot CMS including custom modules and templates. Want something fully custom in code? I do that too!
Send me your site, or whatever you've started, and I'll tell you what's holding it back and what it'll take to fix it. Look forward to working with you!👋
