Senior SEO and AI visibility strategist. Twenty years in the discipline, over three million dollars earned on Upwork, more than eleven hundred projects completed, and Expert Vetted at the top tier of the platform. You can see the full operation at PFP Marketing. My work is productized and built to ship. The core engagement is a one-time SEO and AI Visibility Roadmap: the complete, execution-ready plan for your site, delivered through Upwork. You tell me what your business is and where you want it to go. I diagnose, build the strategy, and hand you a plan your team or developer can execute directly. No interpretation required, no figure-it-out moments, no scope creep. What the Roadmap includes: The high-intent keywords and pages worth ranking for On-page rewrites: titles, meta descriptions, headers Topical cluster and pillar structure that builds real authority, including rewrites and blogs A complete internal linking plan Schema and llms.txt set up for AI search CTA and value-proposition rewrites for conversion Your AI visibility priorities across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude A clear order of operations so you know exactly what to do first It is $500, delivered within a few business days, and you own it outright. Most operators start here. From there, many clients move into a full execution retainer where I run the strategy for you month over month: on-page, content, technical, internal linking, schema, and AI visibility built as an ongoing asset. Retainers are scoped to your business and priced to match, so the work fits where you actually are rather than a one-size package. I work across local business, ecommerce, B2B SaaS, enterprise, and the new AI-driven discovery surface. Most clients come to me because their current SEO is producing motion but not real results, or because they know AI visibility is becoming material to their business and they want it set up correctly the first time. Who this is for: founders, operators, marketing leaders, and agencies who want a senior strategist running the technical and content direction, whether they execute in-house from the Roadmap or have me run it for them. People who think long term and want their search and AI presence built like an asset. Who this is not for: if you want the cheapest option in the search results or a quick-fix mindset, I am not the right fit. There are great execution-focused freelancers on Upwork for one-off tasks. I build search and AI visibility as a long-term asset. If a quick 15-minute call helps you decide, I am glad to walk you through the plan, though many clients simply move forward in messages. Send me your site and a short description of where you are and the outcome you want. I respond directly through Upwork messaging. Matt
