I help brands get found, trusted, cited, and chosen across Google, AI search, local search, and the wider web. SEO is no longer just about ranking on Google or publishing more blog posts. Your customers are searching across Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Reddit, review sites, comparison pages, map results, and trusted third-party sources. That means your strategy needs to go beyond keywords. I help businesses build hybrid SEO + AEO strategies that improve visibility, strengthen authority, and turn search demand into real leads, sales, and customers. My work includes: SEO strategy and keyword mapping AEO/GEO strategy for AI search visibility Google Business Profile optimization Local SEO and map pack ranking strategy Content briefs and topical authority planning On-page SEO and technical audits Service, product, and landing page optimization Internal linking and site structure improvements E-E-A-T and trust signal recommendations Off-site authority, mentions, and citation opportunities Analytics, conversion tracking, and reporting CRO, website design, and development support For local businesses, I’m especially strong at helping brands turn their Google Business Profile into a real lead-generation asset — improving categories, services, landing page alignment, local relevance, review strategy, and map pack visibility so they can compete for top 3 placement in their service area. A quick note on “agency”: I operate under my agency, JNC Squared, but this is not a model where you get sold by me and handed off to a junior team member. You work directly with me on strategy, communication, and execution oversight. I call it an agency because I have a vetted network of specialists that allows me to offer full-service support when needed — including content creation, quality backlink acquisition, analytics/reporting, website design and development, CRO, and more. So you get the best of both worlds: direct access to a senior SEO/AEO strategist, plus the execution support needed to actually get things done. Your customers are already searching. Let’s make sure your brand shows up where they are looking and gives them a reason to choose you.

Hi, My name is Jimmy Huh and I am the founder of JH SEO - a digital marketing agency out of NYC. Over the last 10 years we've successfuly helped many clients grow their digital footprint via website development and management, SEO / GEO, Content, Google Ads and META ads. One our biggest case studies was turning Gameday Men's Health into a local client we built to from one to four corporate locations to now 400 franchise locations that are open including me now as a owner of two franchise locations. Another case study example is an ecommerce one in Deco TV Frames of which we supported the brand with SEO and website work at it's inception and now it is a global brand and official partner of Samsung. A third case study Rye51 is a hybrid of brick and mortar locations and e-commerce. We did hyperlocal SEO in addition to optimizations on main collection pages and blog pages so they rank for "Luxury Menswear in" all their locations and also "Luxury Menswear" as a general search such that they're competing with Mr. Porter and Tom Ford. Our biggest strength is being able to understand the needs of a business and how we can intelligently and meaningfully support the technical or strategic needs to grow revenue. Working with us is simple as we are fully vertically integrated and have everything we need so you only need to approve things. As I am a partner in a development agency in Kolkata, India, all accounts move efficiently as specific developers are assigned to work with you through the duration of the project. Pair this with working with me and a US account manager, we're able to grow companies efficiently and effectively. Additionally in-house is content from an actual writer based in the US, design, development, ads managers, implementation and strategy. The goal is to not only make it easy for you but allow us to be fast, efficient and organized on our side to get results quickly. -- Our Core Capabilities: Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Long-term organic strategies focusing on technical health, on-page optimization, and authoritative backlink profiles. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): Utilizing content, hyperlocal SEO, videos, images and sales pages to show up in AI results like Gemini and ChatGPT. Google Ads: Strategic management of Search, Display, and Shopping campaigns to capture high-intent traffic. META Ads: Data-led campaigns across Facebook and Instagram focused on audience segmentation and ROI. Website Development (Webflow, Shopify, WordPress, BigCommerce, React, Node.js): Building performance-focused, responsive websites designed to handle modern SEO requirements and high conversion volumes. We're happy to talk and do exploratory calls with anyone to see if we can be of service and are a good fit. I look forward to connecting. Best, Jimmy
