SEO Tuning that's mostly about the basics
Local · Technical · Honest
Most "SEO" packages are a subscription to be guilt-tripped into ad spend. I do the technical and local work — clean markup, fast pages, structured data, and the small local signals that put you in front of people searching for what you do in your town. No mandatory tag managers. No ad pixels you didn't ask for.
What gets fixed
- A short written audit you can read in ten minutes — what's wrong, what I'd fix first
- Clean semantic HTML and a sensible H1/H2 structure
- Page speed wins — faster loads, fewer things blocking render
- Structured data (Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ)
- Sitemap.xml, robots.txt, canonicals — the boring necessary stuff
- Google Business Profile setup or cleanup if you don't have one
- Privacy-respecting analytics (Plausible / Umami) if you want metrics without surveillance
How it works
-
Audit
I look at what you've got: rankings, speed, on-page, structured data, local signals. You get a plain-English report.
-
Fix
I implement what we agreed to — content edits, schema, performance, GBP cleanup. Most things ship inside 2 weeks.
-
Watch
Light ongoing work — content tweaks, watching how rankings move. We don't do "SEO forever" subscriptions for the sake of it.
Tools I lean on
If your customers can't find you on Google, none of the other stuff matters. That's where we start.

Will you guarantee #1 on Google?
No. Anyone who guarantees rankings is lying. What I will guarantee is that the technical foundation is right and that I'll tell you honestly what's working and what isn't.
Do I have to use Google Analytics?
No. There are good privacy-respecting alternatives like Plausible and Umami that give you the same insights without the surveillance. Up to you.
How long until I see results?
Technical wins (speed, schema, indexing) show up in weeks. Ranking shifts for competitive terms usually take 2–4 months. Local "near me" results often move faster.
Can you write the content too?
I can rework what you have for clarity and SEO. Net-new long-form content is usually better written by you (or someone in your industry) and tightened by me.
