I help local businesses and small teams get found in search, build content that ranks, and keep their marketing running week after week. Not just the strategy. The actual execution too. So the owner stops spending their time on work that should be off their plate. Top Rated Plus · 100% Job Success · 11,000+ hours on Upwork. If you run a clinic, law firm, home services company, or a growing startup, you've probably been in this cycle. You know what needs to happen with your SEO and content, but nobody has the time or the know-how to make it happen consistently. You either do it yourself on weekends, or it just doesn't get done. I break that cycle. I plan the work, I do the work, and I report back on what's moving. Local SEO & Google Business Profile · GBP setup, optimization, and ongoing management · Local citation building and cleanup (BrightLocal) · On-page SEO: meta titles, descriptions, alt text, H-tags · Internal linking strategy and implementation · Local competitor research to find and close ranking gaps Every week your listing sits unoptimized, someone else is getting that customer. Content Strategy & Publishing · Keyword research, topic planning, and content briefs · SEO content production using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) · Hands-on human editing for accuracy, voice, and readability · YMYL/E-E-A-T standard content (built working with a psychiatry practice) · WordPress and Squarespace publishing: formatting, metadata, scheduling You get content that's researched, written, optimized, and published. Not a draft sitting in a Google Doc. Link Building & Outreach · Prospect research and site qualification from SERP · Niche and industry classification of target sites · Outreach emails and follow-up sequences · Pipeline management at scale Built this at volume for a link building agency. I know how to keep it moving without dropping leads. Platform Management & Reporting · Reddit, Substack, Medium, Instagram, LinkedIn, GMB · Performance dashboards and monthly reports built from scratch · Content calendar management You stay informed. I stay accountable. No chasing required. Tools Ahrefs · SEMrush · BrightLocal · Screaming Frog · Google Search Console · GA4 · Claude · ChatGPT · WordPress · Squarespace Before going independent, I spent 7 years leading data research and lead generation operations. Building SOPs, coordinating teams, maintaining quality across thousands of deliverables. That background in systems and process is why nothing slips through the cracks now. One long-term client called my keyword research the most thorough he'd seen in 5 years on Upwork and ranked me in his top 5% of freelancers. That's the standard I hold for every project. Message me with a quick note about your business and what's not getting done. I'll tell you straight whether I'm the right fit.

𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗘𝗢 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝗯. Upwork Top Rated, I’ll keep you updated without adding meetings to your week. I can build from scratch or improve what you already have. When needed, I design and develop in WordPress, Webflow, and Wix with SEO baked in, and Shopify for on-page and template polish. The goal is the same either way, a site that is simple to run and easier to find. Most of my work starts with technical SEO and structure. I clean up crawl and index issues, organize internal links so discovery feels natural, and align on-page details to real search intent. I add Schema and structured data where it helps, pay attention to Core Web Vitals, and format pages so they read well for people and show up cleanly in AI/SGE contexts. If you have writers, I equip them with clear briefs and on-page guidance so quality stays consistent without extra effort. 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 ✅ Technical SEO audits, prioritized fixes, and tidy metadata 🧭 Site architecture, sensible slugs, and internal linking that support discovery 📝 On-page optimization, templates, and SEO-ready page patterns 🔎 Keyword research and topical mapping tied to real pages 🏷️ Schema and structured data for clearer meaning and display ⚡ Core Web Vitals and speed care for a smoother experience 🤖 AI/SGE-aware formatting so helpful answers point back to you 🔒 Lightweight tracking setup with GA4 and Search Console, no busywork Along the way, you get short status notes, what went live, and what’s next, so you can forward updates to your team without translating anything. I adapt to your stack and workflows, keeping things light and predictable. 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗜 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 💻 WordPress, Wix, Webflow, Shopify for on-page and technical edits 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗜 𝘂𝘀𝗲 🧰 Ahrefs, Semrush, GA4, Google Search Console, Google Tag Manager, Looker Studio Send your website and target market, and I’ll run a quick audit.
