About this service

Summary

I offer foundational SEO services tailored for startups and small businesses, combining technical insight, smart keyword planning, and on-page optimization to help your site get discovered and rank faster. With a background in tech startups, I focus on what matters most for early-stage growth.

Process

1. Discovery & Site Audit I begin with a comprehensive audit of your current SEO status—covering technical setup, on-page content, site structure, speed, mobile responsiveness, and indexing. I also review your competitors to identify ranking gaps and opportunities.
2. Keyword Research & Strategy Development Next, I identify high-impact keywords based on your industry, target audience, and growth goals. I build a strategy that focuses on quick wins and long-term content opportunities, aligned with your startup’s budget and bandwidth.
3. On-Page SEO Optimization I optimize your site’s key pages—including titles, meta descriptions, headers, images, internal links, and URL structure—to align with target keywords and boost search engine visibility.
4. Technical SEO Fixes I resolve any technical issues that may block performance, such as crawl errors, broken links, duplicate content, slow loading pages, missing schema, or mobile UX issues. I also set up and configure tools like Google Search Console and submit your sitemap.
5. Local SEO Setup (If Applicable) If you serve a local area, I optimize or create your Google Business Profile, manage NAP consistency, and provide recommendations for improving visibility in local search and Maps.
6. Reporting & Growth Recommendations I provide a report outlining SEO improvements, keyword tracking, and next-step opportunities. You’ll also receive actionable tips on content planning or ongoing SEO that fits your startup’s current resources.
7. Post-Optimization Support You’ll have a 30–60 day support window (depending on the package) where I’ll be available for performance monitoring, troubleshooting, and answering any follow-up questions as your traffic starts to grow.

FAQs

  • I’m just starting my business, do I really need SEO right now?

    Yes, and it’s smart to start early. I focus on helping startups build a strong SEO foundation, from site structure to speed and visibility, so your website is ready to grow with you. Early SEO efforts often pay off significantly over time.

  • Do you only work with startups?

    While I specialize in startups and small businesses, I can work with companies of any size and stage. Whether you're a new founder or an established business looking to improve your SEO, I tailor my approach to your specific needs.

  • How long does it take to see SEO results?

    Results depend on your site, niche, and competition. Some improvements, like technical fixes and local SEO, can help within a few weeks. Content and rankings typically build over time. This starter package gives you a strong foundation for growth.

  • What if I already have SEO tools set up?

    That’s great! I’ll audit your existing tools (like Google Search Console, Analytics, or SEO plugins) and optimize your current setup rather than starting from scratch.

  • Do you write blog posts or SEO content?

    My primary service is SEO strategy and site optimization, but I do provide content outlines and keyword-focused briefs. Full content writing can be offered as an add-on or referred to a trusted partner.

  • Will I receive a report?

    Yes. You’ll receive a clear summary of all work completed, along with next-step recommendations and (if needed) basic keyword tracking or traffic reports.

  • What platforms do you work with?

    I work with most modern website platforms including Webflow, WordPress, Squarespace, and custom-built sites. I also offer local SEO services including Google Business Profile optimization.

  • Do you offer ongoing SEO services too?

    Yes! This package is designed to get your SEO foundation in place. If you need long-term support, monthly SEO growth services are available as a separate package or add-on.

Michael was a pleasure to work with. He was professional and highly knowledgeable. He quickly resolved complex technical issues with our Cloudflare and Webflow integration, and made sure both sites running smoothly. Highly recommended!!!
