I help the right local customers find you on Google, then give them a clear next step. Ongoing SEO comes with Pro if I build your site. For a site you already have, it lives in Managed and Web Ops. The $595 audit is the door if you want the diagnosis first. Call or text (502) 305-4043 and I'll tell you which door fits.
Measured client work, with the source and date on every tile.
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 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. If the phone just isn't ringing, why your website isn't getting calls walks through the usual reasons before you spend a dollar on ads.
I take a different approach. I focus on what moves the needle for local businesses: your Google Business Profile, the right keywords, and content that answers what your customers are searching for. Same playbook whether you are a contractor, a restaurant, or a healthcare practice, tuned to the searches your customers type.
If you only need the diagnosis, start with the audit. If you want ongoing Louisville SEO, that work lives in Managed or Web Ops. Either way, you talk to me, not a ticket queue.
My Louisville SEO service covers what a small business needs to start ranking on Google. This is not set-it-and-forget-it. I work the site and the listing every month, and I send you a report showing what happened.
If you're shopping for a Louisville SEO company or an SEO expert who will actually touch your Google Business Profile, this is the menu. I do the work myself.
Your Google Business Profile is usually the cheapest place to start in local search. I'll optimize your categories, description, photos and posts. If you don't have one, I'll set it up from scratch.
A complete profile gives Google accurate information about your business. Rankings are Google's call, but this is the foundation. Setup and cleanup details are on the GBP service page.
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. The list stays short on purpose. Vanity keywords that nobody types do not help a Louisville business.
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. You keep control of the message. I don't rewrite your voice into corporate mush.
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. New directories only when they help a real Louisville customer find you.
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. On Managed and Web Ops that report is the one-page numbers email, not a binder.
New pages that target the searches your customers are making. Service area pages, FAQ content, guides that answer real questions. Each piece is another chance to show up on Google.
I research, write, and publish. On Web Ops I add new SEO pages when the site can support them. I won't publish thin twins that cannibalize each other.
Five steps. I do the work. You see what changed. No account manager in the middle.
I review your site, Google Business Profile, citations, and the searches you should win in Louisville. You get a written plan in plain English: what's broken, what to fix first, and what can wait.
The standalone $595 SEO audit is the door if you want that diagnosis before a retainer.
I clean up categories, services, photos, posts, and review replies. You see a listing that matches your real business and shows up when people search nearby.
If the profile is a mess, I fix or rebuild it. Details live on the Google Business Profile page.
I fix titles, meta descriptions, headers, internal links, and thin pages so Google can tell what each page is for.
You see clearer pages and search terms that match what Louisville customers type. No keyword stuffing, no fake city pages.
I make your name, address, and phone match across directories, and I chase the local links that help a Louisville business.
You see fewer conflicting listings and a cleaner footprint Google can trust. I don't buy spam links.
Every month you get a one-page numbers email: rankings, traffic moves, what I did, and what's next.
No 40-page PDF, no mystery invoice. If the plan needs to change, we change it in that email or when we talk.
What a Louisville business needs. Most owners hear "SEO" and get sold a pile of tools. Here's the split that matters.
This is map pack and "near me" work. Your Google Business Profile, reviews, NAP consistency, and pages that name the places you serve.
If you're a plumber in Jeffersontown or a salon in St. Matthews, local SEO is usually the first lever. Louisville local SEO is not the same as national blog SEO.
I also watch for duplicate, merged or suspended listings. Those local messes never show up in a generic content calendar.
This is whether Google can crawl and understand the site. Speed, mobile layout, broken links, indexation, and structured data that matches what's on the page.
A pretty site that loads slow or hides content in scripts still loses. I fix the foundation before I write more pages.
If the technical debt is the whole problem, we may start with a website audit or a Rescue path instead of pouring content on a broken base.
This is pages that answer real searches: service pages, area pages, and guides people read. Not filler blog posts for the sake of volume.
On Web Ops I add new SEO pages when the site can support them. On Managed I maintain and improve what you already have, plus the monthly numbers email.
Every new page needs a job. If two URLs chase the same search, I consolidate instead of publishing another thin twin.
Here's the recurring work inside Managed and Web Ops.
Rankings that matter, impression and click moves, and what I shipped. One page. You can read it between jobs.
If something stalled, I say so. If a competitor jumped you, I say so. The email is a status check, not a sales deck.
I track the Louisville and near-me terms that match your trade. You see movement on the phrases that fill the calendar, not a vanity keyword list.
We pick a short list up front. I don't drown you in 200 keywords nobody searches.
I keep the Google Business Profile active with posts, photo updates when you send them, and review replies in your voice. I never buy reviews or gate them. Google forbids that, and so do I.
When a review needs a reply, I draft it like you talk. You approve once, or I follow the rules we set on day one.
Local Louisville businesses that need map pack and organic search to send real leads: trades, clinics, shops, restaurants, and multi-location operators who want one person running the online side.
Who it is not for: anyone chasing a page-1 guarantee, or a company that only wants blog volume with no Google Business Profile work. If that's the pitch you got elsewhere, call me and I'll tell you what I'd do instead.
Ongoing Louisville SEO ships inside the retainers, not as a mystery add-on. The $595 audit is the door if you want the diagnosis first. Full tier menus live on the Website Retainers page.
A lot of SEO pitches in Louisville KY sell a 12-month lock-in and a black box. I keep it month to month, with a report you can read and a person you can text.
Best when you need to know what is holding rankings back before you commit monthly.

$2,000/month Full online opsBuilding a new site? Pro at $399/month + $2,500 setup includes GBP and monthly SEO with the build. That's the door when you need the website and the ranking work together.
I do the technical work and I'm the one you talk to. 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. Simple updates wait in a queue. The strategy can feel like the same template everyone gets.
I work directly with you. Text me, I answer. Need a quick update? Most edits are done within two business days, often sooner. And because I specialize in small businesses, I know which SEO strategies work when you're competing against other local companies, not Fortune 500 brands.
If you want a Louisville SEO company that shows its work with named clients and dated Search Console numbers, start with the proof above or call me. I'll tell you if Managed, Web Ops, or just the audit is the right door.
Straight answers about Louisville SEO. No jargon.
Ongoing SEO here runs inside Managed at $850/month or Web Ops at $2,000/month. The standalone door is the $595 SEO audit. If you need a new site too, Pro at $399/month + $2,500 setup bundles the build with GBP and monthly SEO.
GBP and technical fixes can move in weeks. Keyword rankings for a Louisville SEO campaign usually take a few months of steady work. I send the monthly numbers email from month one so you see the trend, not a surprise pitch at month six.
Not always. If the site loads, has real service pages, and isn't a mess of duplicates, I can optimize what you have. If the site itself is the problem, we fix or rebuild that first. Either way your Google Business Profile is usually step one for local search.
Local SEO is how you show up for city and "near me" searches: map pack, Google Business Profile, reviews, consistent NAP, and pages that name the areas you serve. For most Louisville small businesses, local SEO beats national content plays.
No, and nobody honest can. Google owns the rankings. What I can promise is the work: audit, GBP, on-page, citations, content, and a monthly report you can read. My goal is more of the right people finding you, and you see the numbers every month.
On Managed I maintain local SEO, track ranks, manage the Google Business Profile, reply to reviews, ship small page updates, and send the one-page numbers email. Web Ops adds ads, or feed work, and new SEO pages when the site can support them.
You're talking to me. I live here. I know which searches fill calendars for local trades and practices. A national shop often routes you through an account manager and a ticket queue. I'm the Louisville SEO expert doing the strategy and the edits.
Month to month. SEO compounds, so I recommend giving it a real runway. You can cancel with 30 days notice. If it isn't working, we talk about it.
Most profiles I see are only half done. I'll audit categories, description, photos, posts, and NAP match. Even small cleanup can help local rankings. I also wrote a guide on getting more Google reviews.
The $595 audit is the SEO door: technical, on-page, local, links, and a written plan. The $250 diagnostic is for messy or broken sites and credits toward a Rescue Sprint or rebuild within 30 days. If you're unsure which you need, call me and I'll say which door fits. More on what an audit covers in What Is a Website Audit.
Call or text me. I'll look at your current Google presence, tell you where you stand, and give you a straight answer on what it would take to start ranking. No pitch, no pressure.
