If You're Not on Page 1, You're Invisible

Search for what you do — "plumber Louisville," "salon near me," your own trade. If the first page is your competitors, that's where your customers are going, every single day. SEO is the unglamorous work of fixing that: your Google Business Profile, your pages, and content that matches what people actually type.

Louisville is crowded. Plenty of businesses have websites, but the pages are thin, the Google Business Profile is half done, or the content does not match what customers search for.

You've probably searched for your own business and been frustrated by the results. Maybe your competitor who does worse work is ranking above you. Maybe your Google listing has the wrong phone number. Maybe you've been told "SEO takes years" by agencies who charge thousands a month with nothing to show for it.

I take a different approach. I focus on what actually moves the needle for local businesses: your Google Business Profile, the right keywords, and content that answers what your customers are actually searching for. Same playbook whether you are a contractor, a restaurant, or a healthcare practice, tuned to the searches your customers actually type.

What's Included in Louisville SEO Services

My SEO service covers everything a Louisville small business needs to start ranking on Google. This is not a set-it-and-forget-it package. I work on your site every month and send you a report showing exactly what happened.

Google Business Profile Optimization

Your Google Business Profile is the single biggest factor in local search rankings. I'll optimize your categories, description, photos, posts, and Q&A. If you don't have one, I'll set it up from scratch. This alone can put you on the map. Literally.

Keyword Research

I find the exact phrases your customers are typing into Google when they need what you offer. Not generic terms like "best company" but real, local searches: "plumber near me," "dentist Louisville KY," "roof repair Jeffersontown." Then I build your content around those searches.

On-Page SEO

Title tags, meta descriptions, header structure, image optimization, internal linking, and page speed. These are the basics that most small business websites get wrong. I fix them so Google understands what your pages are about and ranks them accordingly.

Local Citations

Your business name, address, and phone number need to be consistent across the internet. Yelp, Facebook, Yellow Pages, industry directories. Inconsistent listings confuse Google and hurt your rankings. I audit and fix your citations so everything matches.

Monthly Reporting

Every month, you get a report showing keyword rankings, traffic changes, what I worked on, and what's planned next. No mystery about where your money goes. If something isn't working, I'll tell you and adjust the strategy. You'll always know exactly what's happening.

Content Strategy

New pages quarterly targeting the searches your customers are making. Service area pages, FAQ content, blog posts that answer real questions. Each piece of content is another chance to show up on Google. I research, write, and publish it for you.

Simple SEO Pricing

Lou giving a thumbs up

Most Louisville SEO companies lock you into 12-month contracts and charge much larger monthly retainers. I keep it simple: honest pricing, monthly reporting, and month-to-month service. Pick the plan that fits your business.

Why Louisville Businesses Choose Me Over Big SEO Agencies

I'm not a developer that hates talking to clients and I'm not a client-facing account manager who doesn't know how to develop. I'm both. When you call me, you're talking to the same person who's optimizing your site, writing your content, and managing your Google listing.

Big SEO shops often put layers between you and the person doing the work. Changes go through a ticket system. You wait days for simple updates. The strategy can feel like the same template everyone gets.

I work directly with you. Text me, I answer. Need a quick update? It's done today, not next sprint. And because I specialize in small businesses, I know exactly which SEO strategies work when you're competing against other local companies, not Fortune 500 brands.

Big SEO Agencies

  • much larger monthly retainers
  • 12-month contracts
  • Account manager (not the person doing the work)
  • Ticket systems for simple changes
  • Same template strategy for every client

SEO Questions Louisville Business Owners Ask

Straight answers about SEO for local businesses. No jargon.

How long does SEO take to work for a Louisville business?

Most Louisville businesses start seeing measurable improvements in 3-6 months. Technical fixes and Google Business Profile optimization can show results in weeks. Keyword rankings and organic traffic growth typically take 3-6 months of consistent work. I send monthly reports so you can track progress from day one. SEO is not a one-time project. It's ongoing work that compounds over time.

What's included in your Louisville SEO services?

The Pro plan ($399/month) includes Google Business Profile optimization, monthly keyword research, on-page SEO for your website, local citation building, content strategy with new pages quarterly, and a monthly performance report. Everything is focused on getting your business found in Louisville-area Google searches. You can see the full breakdown in the pricing section above.

Do I need a website before starting SEO?

You need some kind of web presence, but it doesn't have to be perfect. If you already have a website, I can optimize it. If you need a new site, I can build one and handle SEO from the start. Most new clients start with the Pro plan at $399/month with setup at $2,500 because it keeps the website and SEO work tied together. Either way, your Google Business Profile is the first thing I optimize because it has the biggest immediate impact on local rankings.

How is this different from a big SEO agency?

Big agencies assign you an account manager who doesn't do the actual work. I'm both the strategist and the person making changes to your site. No ticket systems, no waiting for approvals. You text me, I handle it. I also focus exclusively on small businesses in Louisville, so I know this market. And at $399/month, month to month, the risk is a lot lower than a larger agency retainer with a 12-month lock-in.

Is there a long-term contract?

Month to month. SEO works best as an ongoing effort, and most clients stay because they see results, not because they're locked in. I recommend giving it at least 3-6 months to see real traction, but you can cancel anytime with 30 days notice. If it is not working, we talk about it.

What if I already have a Google Business Profile?

Great, that's a head start. Most profiles I see are only partially optimized. I'll audit yours, fix the categories, update the description with the right keywords, add photos, set up posts, and make sure your NAP (name, address, phone) is consistent everywhere online. Even small improvements to an existing profile can boost your local rankings. I wrote a guide on getting more Google reviews that can help too.
