I plan and execute SEO that fixes structural issues, ranks for high-intent searches, and turns traffic into calls. I’m typically brought in to correct what’s holding a site back and uncover the wins others missed. I help businesses turn Google search traffic into qualified leads and real revenue — not just rankings. I’m a U.S.-based SEO expert with well over 10 years experience. Top Rated Plus on Upwork with $1M+ earned and a 99% Job Success score, working with small businesses, service companies, and high-value professional brands. My work is hands-on, strategic, and designed for long-term growth — not shortcuts. I run a boutique SEO practice, which means: - Current, up-to-date SEO knowledge My strategies are informed by ongoing testing and modern search behavior — not outdated tactics that stopped working years ago. - Customized, business-specific SEO I don’t run templated campaigns. Each strategy is tailored to your industry, competition, and growth goals. - Senior-level execution You work directly with an experienced SEO consultant — not a mid-tier agency employee juggling dozens of accounts. - Decades of real-world business experience Beyond SEO, I bring over 20 years of hands-on marketing and small-business consulting experience, having advised and worked with hundreds of companies. Instead, I work closely with a limited number of clients who need clean, sustainable SEO that actually converts. What I specialize in: - Local SEO & Google Maps optimization (calls, form fills, booked jobs) - On-page SEO that improves rankings and conversion rates - AI search visibility (GEO) — optimizing your content so it can be surfaced by AI search results - SEO cleanup and recovery from poor past strategies - Long-term organic growth without penalties or volatility I’ve worked with businesses ranging from solo operators to national brands, including high-end local service providers where lead quality matters far more than raw traffic. How I work: - Clear priorities (no busywork) - Transparent monthly reporting - Practical explanations — no jargon - Strategy first, execution second - Comfortable working hourly or within defined weekly caps If you already have SEO in place, I focus on continuing and improving what’s working, fixing what isn’t, and identifying the fastest path to more qualified leads.

Proof & Case Studies I’ve included short case study videos in my portfolio that walk through real ranking improvements, traffic growth, and the thinking behind the strategy. These are especially helpful if you want to see how I approach SEO, not just the end result.

My name is Joey, I’ve specialized in SEO since 2010. My early career was spent in California and Silicon Valley mastering technology and SEO. Now AI, GEO, AEO, and whatever comes next is my core expertise. My career started as a technology consultant for Accenture and Cisco Systems in San Francisco and Newport Beach. It evolved into building multiple tech startups myself…all with success, failure, and my introduction to SEO which I feel in love with. Around 2013 I quit consulting, quit dev startups, and went all in on SEO. That was the best decision of my career and SEO has been my only focus since. In 2020 I left California and moved to St Petersburg, Florida…to focus on client SEO, play more golf, and learn to offshore fish. My SEO services and methodologies are listed below. My former and current SEO clients rank in AI naturally...because search engines are the foundational dataset used in AI. So high quality SEO naturally ranks in AI. My SEO expertise has evolved to include AI, AEO, GEO, LLM, and all things to come. BUT … there are many new variables to consider as AI is evolving rapidly. I have, and will, continue to update my own skill set and services to evolve with the future. Let’s connect if you want discuss your project. Below is a bit more about my consulting style. Talk soon, Joey In my 17 years of technology and SEO I’ve seen the landscape change dramatically many times over. My clients never suffered major algorithms losses or had to re-tool their entire business. I’ve always preached to play by the rules, focus on high quality content, and provide a great user experience. To me, that’s the recipe for longterm success and why I’m still able to grow my career in client consulting. My review profile and results represent this on Upwork.

All engagements are custom per the client’s requirements, team structure, and operating model. I can adapt to any team, workflow, and tech stack. - Core activities are all done outside of the website backend: analysis, strategy, project plan, content writing, link building, and so on. If needed, I can also implement all changes on the website backend. - I am a single freelance consultant. I do not want to run a large agency. I only support a few clients at one time. My engagements are month to month, with most being longterm 6+ months. - 80% of the work is done by myself. For larger projects, I have 3 freelancers who help me with content, development, and link building. All client interactions, analysis, strategy…heavy lifting is done by me. - I prefer a structured pricing model. The client and I will agree on a set monthly budget and defined scope to be completed. All billing will happen on Upwork per Upwork rules which I follow. - Weekends I’m off duty and don’t support normal business activities. Call my cell for emergencies. When the weather is nice on Friday’s I like to dip out early to hit the links or cast a line.

Most short-term rental operators are sitting on 20–30% more revenue than they're currently generating. The gap isn't the property — it's the pricing strategy, listing positioning, and channel management holding it back. We fix that. Our agency has optimized hundreds of STR listings across the US, Europe, Australia, and South America — working across every major OTA, every market type, and every property category from budget coastal rentals to luxury villas. We bring institutional revenue management thinking to short-term rental businesses that have been running on gut feel and generic pricing tools. What separates our approach is the combination of financial rigor and operational reality. As a former investment banker with Cornell certification in hotel real estate and asset management, I apply the same yield management discipline used by major hotel groups — adapted specifically for the STR market and powered by tools like PriceLabs, Wheelhouse, and Hostaway. We don't guess. We analyze, model, and optimize based on your specific market, competitive set, and revenue profile. Every engagement produces a clear, implementable strategy — not a generic report.If your listings are underperforming, your calendar has gaps, or you suspect your pricing isn't capturing peak demand the way it should, this is the engagement that changes that.
