Most small businesses hire whoever is nearby — a local agency with junior staff and enterprise overhead built into the rate. There's a better option: a remote SEO consultant with 20 years of director-level experience, working directly with you, from anywhere in the US.
It happens at almost every agency. The sales call is with someone experienced. The work is done by whoever is available. You're paying for the brand name and the overhead — not the expertise that sold you.
There is no SEO task that requires physical presence. Every piece of work — audits, content, schema, link building, reporting — is done through your website, search data, and digital tools. Remote consulting delivers identical results with no geographic compromise.
Most small businesses have never had access to someone who has directed SEO strategy at scale — across large teams, complex technical infrastructures, and competitive markets. That level of experience doesn't exist in most local markets. Remote consulting is how you access it.
Yes — completely. Every SEO task is digital: technical audits via crawl tools, keyword research via search data, content written and edited online, schema added to your site's code, link building done via email outreach, reporting pulled from GSC. There is no SEO work that requires being in the same room as you or your business. Remote SEO consulting has been standard practice for over a decade.
Monthly strategy calls via video, email for day-to-day questions, and a shared reporting dashboard updated monthly. Most clients find this more efficient than in-person agency relationships — no scheduling lag, no travel time, direct access to the person doing the work. If you're in a time crunch, you reach me directly, not an account manager.
Yes — that's the entire point of this page. Based in Greater Boston, working with small businesses across the US. Geography is not a constraint for any of the work I do. Local SEO, technical SEO, content strategy, and GEO optimization are all fully remote services.
Yes. Local SEO — GBP optimization, citation building, local schema, map pack strategy — is all done digitally. I can optimize a GBP listing and build citations for a plumber in Phoenix or a law firm in Denver just as effectively as for a business in my own backyard. The only thing that needs to be local is your business. The SEO work supporting it is platform-based and fully remote.
An agency sells you on a senior person and delivers through a team — typically junior staff managed by that senior person across many accounts simultaneously. A solo consultant is the person doing the work, every time. No handoffs, no account managers, no overhead. The tradeoff is capacity — a solo consultant works with a focused roster of clients rather than hundreds. That's the point: your work gets real attention.
