Get Found on Google. Look Legit Online. Get More Local Customers.

I help small businesses fix their online presence so Google understands them, customers trust them, and calls actually come in — without contracts, agency fluff, or wasted spend.

Local SEO • Google Business Optimization • Website SEO Alignment • One-on-One Support

👉 Request a Visibility Check

THE PROBLEM

Most small businesses don’t have a marketing problem.
They have a visibility problem.

  • Google doesn’t clearly understand what you do
  • Your business doesn’t show up in Maps
  • Your website exists but doesn’t help you rank
  • Random competitors outrank you with worse services
  • You’ve paid for “SEO” but never saw real results

If customers can’t find you — they can’t hire you.

THE SMART STEPS SOLUTION

I fix the foundation of your online presence first — then help you stay visible where it actually matters: local search and Google Maps.

No guessing. No generic packages. No outsourcing.

You work directly with me.

WHAT I ACTUALLY DO (CLARITY BUILDS TRUST)

🔹 Google Business Profile Optimization

Your GBP is one of the most powerful local ranking tools — when it’s set up correctly.

  • Category alignment
  • Keyword-focused content
  • Posting strategy for Maps visibility
  • Local discovery optimization (not vanity views)

🔹 Website SEO Alignment (No Website Build)

I do not build websites.
I optimize what you already have so Google can understand it.

  • Titles & on-page SEO signals
  • Local relevance improvements
  • Structural fixes that affect rankings
  • Trust and authority alignment

🔹 Local SEO & Authority Signals

This is where most DIY efforts fall apart.

  • Local signals Google looks for
  • Foundational backlink support
  • Business citation alignment
  • Trust consistency across platforms

  • Website SEO configuration (optimization only — no website build)
  • Local SEO foundation + initial backlink support

Best for: new businesses or those fixing years of bad setup.

WHY THIS WORKS

Google rewards clarity, consistency, and trust signals.

Most businesses fail because:

  • They copy generic SEO advice
  • They use AI tools without strategy
  • They confuse posting with ranking
  • They focus on aesthetics instead of signals

Smart Steps focuses on what Google actually responds to — without shortcuts that break later.

REAL RESULTS

After fixing the foundation for a local car detailing business:

  • Website traffic grew from hundreds of views/month to ~30,000
  • Google discovery increased dramatically
  • More inbound calls & bookings
  • Customers began finding the business organically — without ads

No gimmicks. Just correct setup and strategic execution.

WHO THIS IS FOR

✔ Local service businesses
✔ Small business owners who rely on calls & bookings
✔ People tired of vague SEO promises
✔ Businesses that want to understand what’s being fixed

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR

❌ People looking for the cheapest option
❌ Anyone expecting instant overnight results
❌ Businesses wanting a website built
❌ National or enterprise SEO needs
❌ “Set it and forget it” automation seekers
❌ Anyone who doesn’t want real involvement

If that’s you, this won’t be a good fit — and that’s intentional.
