The Full Arc

SEO experience at every level of complexity

Most SEO practitioners have worked at one level. I've worked at all three — and that range is what makes the difference when solving real problems.

Stage 01 — Freelance

Built from zero

Started independently with a manufacturing company that had no online presence. Used SEO, paid search, and content to grow online sales to $750k annually. Learned that SEO only matters when it drives real revenue.

Stage 02 — Agency

Scaled across clients

Spent years at digital agencies across Boston and New York — managing SEO across dozens of client accounts simultaneously in competitive industries. Built the pattern recognition that comes from seeing what works across many different businesses.

Stage 03 — Enterprise

Led at scale

In-house SEO leadership at major global organizations — travel, recruiting, media — managing millions of pages, international domains, and cross-functional teams. Director-level strategy and execution at the highest levels of technical complexity.

The full SEO & web stack

Technical, content, links, and web design — all under one roof, all connected by 20 years of knowing how they work together.

SEO Strategy & Audits

A thorough technical and strategic audit — crawl errors, indexing issues, Core Web Vitals, site architecture, content gaps. 20 years of pattern recognition means I find what's holding you back fast and know which fixes actually move rankings.

  • Topical authority mapping
  • Keyword research & content calendar
  • Pillar page + cluster architecture
  • E-E-A-T optimization

Link Building

Quality links from relevant sources — earned through outreach, content worth linking to, and 20 years of relationships in the space. No directories, no link schemes. The kind of link building that survives algorithm updates.

  • Outreach-based link acquisition
  • Linkable asset strategy
  • Guest posting & digital PR

How It Works

Simple, direct process

01

Free strategy call

30 minutes to understand your site, your goals, and your current SEO situation. I'll tell you honestly what I think the highest-leverage moves are — even if that means you don't need me.

02

Audit or scoping

For existing sites: a full technical and content audit. For new builds: scoping the architecture, content plan, and technical requirements before any work begins.

03

Execution

Build the site, fix the issues, create the content, acquire the links — whatever was scoped. Real deliverables with clear documentation, not a deck of recommendations.

04

Ongoing or handoff

Some clients want a long-term SEO partner. Others want a clean handoff. Both work — I'll make sure you have everything you need either way.

FAQ

Common questions about SEO consulting

Straight answers to the questions most Boston businesses ask before starting an SEO engagement.

How long does SEO take to show results? +

Most businesses see meaningful ranking movement within 3 to 6 months. Competitive markets like Boston can take longer. SEO is a compounding channel — results build over time and don't disappear when you stop paying for ads.

What is included in an SEO audit? +

A technical SEO audit covers site architecture, crawlability, page speed, mobile usability, duplicate content, broken links, and indexation issues. It also includes keyword gap analysis, competitor benchmarking, and a prioritized action plan.

Do I need ongoing SEO or is a one-time audit enough? +

It depends on your goals and market. A one-time audit identifies what needs fixing — but SEO is ongoing because search engines update constantly, competitors evolve, and your site changes. Most businesses benefit from ongoing support after an initial audit.

What makes a good SEO consultant in Boston? +

Look for someone with verifiable experience across technical SEO, content strategy, and local search — not just one area. They should understand your specific market, be transparent about timelines, and be able to show real outcomes from past work, not just rankings.

How I measure results

Every engagement includes a documented before-state baseline — your current rankings, clicks by page, and conversion data from GSC and GA4 — so we know exactly what we're measuring against. Monthly reporting ties organic performance to business outcomes: calls, leads, and revenue from organic, not just impressions and rankings.

If you've worked with an SEO consultant before and aren't sure whether the work actually drove results, the SEO Impact Audit can give you an independent answer before we start.
