À la carte
Four ways I can grow your visibility.
Not every business needs a giant SEO contract. I offer four focused, à la carte services. Pick the one that fits where you are right now, or stack them into a full strategy.
Total Website Redesign for SEO
Great SEO brings people to the door. A dated, slow, hard-to-use website sends them right back out. I redesign your site so it earns that first impression and actually converts the traffic you worked so hard to get.
Website Page Improvements
A budget-friendly alternative to locked-in, long-term contracts. We pick the exact pages that need work, then build them up around the specific keywords you want to win.
Website Speed Optimization
I audit your load times and hosting setup, find what's dragging you down, and tune your site until it's genuinely fast. Quicker pages mean happier visitors and a real lift in the rankings.
Local SEO
Directory optimization, a sharpened Google Business Profile, active posting, and real review management so you show up the moment someone nearby searches for what you do.
How I work
No mystery. Just a clear process.
01 — Audit
I dig into your site, your current rankings, and your competitors to find exactly where the real opportunities are hiding.
02 — Strategy
We agree on the keywords and pages worth fighting for, and I map out an honest, realistic plan to get there.
03 — Optimize
The hands-on work, content, structure, speed, listings, and the technical fixes that actually move rankings.
04 — Track & Report
I watch the data, adjust as Google shifts the goalposts, and keep you in the loop with plain-English updates.
Local SEO, explained
A quick lesson on getting found locally.
Local SEO is its own world. In this short video I walk through how it works and why it matters so much and just below, two of the questions I get asked most.
What is a SERP?
When you type a search term into a search engine, the page you get back is the SERP — the search engine results page. It's made up of Ads, Local Listings, and Organic results.
Local listings show a map of providers, but that's not the same as Maps results. Maps guide a journey; local listings return businesses inside a small geographic area for searchers with specific intent — like “web designer near me.”
What is a Google Business Profile?
A local listing profile gives searchers a quick summary of your business — hours, address, phone, reviews, photos — so they can make a decision without ever opening your website. You don't even need a website to have one.
Think of it like a phone book entry. Of the roughly 40,000 Google searches made every second, about 46% have local intent — that's a lot of people looking for a business near them, every single day.

Good questions
The SEO questions I answer every week.
What is your SEO guarantee?
Be very cautious with anyone offering a placement or money-back SEO guarantee. When you hire an SEO, you're hiring a person to do real labor and data analysis and none of us controls Google. My SEO services are not guaranteed, and I'll gladly show you my success rate and case studies. Honest expertise beats an empty promise every time.
How long does SEO take to work?
SEO is best thought of as a slow burn. It can take anywhere from 3 to 12 months before you start really seeing the payoff. Higher keyword rankings and steady visibility gains. Most full-service SEO contracts run somewhere between 3 months and 2 years.
What is full-service SEO?
Full-service SEO is what helps your website genuinely compete in search engines. It usually combines local SEO, page-by-page improvements, and speed optimization into one ongoing strategy. Basic SEO sitemaps, analytics, and meta data just sets your site up to be crawled and monitored; it's the starting line, not the race.
Why do rankings change?
Google updates its algorithms constantly. Daily, weekly, monthly, always reshuffling the results. Rankings also shift when new competitors enter your market, or from your own activity: adding or neglecting SEO, deleting pages, changing URLs, removing images. A lot feeds into where you land.
What is local SEO?
Local SEO focuses on getting your business in front of nearby searchers. When someone types something like “SEO consulting near me,” local SEO is what surfaces the real brick-and-mortar businesses and service providers that are actually close to them.
How do I check my SEO ranking?
Tools like Ubersuggest give you on-site and off-site ranking data and let you compare against competitors. RankMath — a free SEO tool and WordPress plugin is another great option, with dashboard analytics and emailed reports.
How do I increase my SEO ranking?
Study your competitors tools like SpyFu plus plain old web surfing tell you a lot about what's working in your field. Then the real edge: consistently do something that makes you genuinely stand out. Better content, better experience, better answers than anyone else ranking near you.

We had Heather create a website for our indoor trampoline park. Her creativity and service was top notch. She took extra time to explain things and never seemed put off by questions we asked. We highly recommend Heather.
