Most businesses need some combination of these four services. SEO gets you found on Google. Web design converts those visitors into customers. Branding makes you recognizable and trustworthy. And AI optimization makes sure you show up when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity for recommendations.

How to Choose the Right Service
After working with hundreds of small businesses, I have noticed that most owners know something is off with their online presence. They just cannot pinpoint what to fix first. Here is the framework I use when a new client asks me that question.
If people cannot find you online, start with SEO. You could have the best product in your city, but if you are not showing up when someone searches for what you sell, none of it matters. SEO fixes that. It puts your business in front of people who are already looking for your exact service. This is the foundation everything else builds on.
If people find you but do not contact you, start with web design. Traffic without conversions is just a vanity metric. When visitors land on your site and leave without calling, filling out a form, or making a purchase, the problem is usually the website itself. A redesign focused on clear messaging, fast load times, and obvious calls to action can double or triple your conversion rate without any additional traffic.
If your business looks inconsistent across platforms, start with branding. Your logo says one thing. Your website says another. Your social media says something else entirely. When potential customers see that kind of disconnect, they assume you are either new or unreliable. Branding brings everything into alignment so every touchpoint reinforces trust.
If you already rank on Google but want to stay ahead, look at AI optimization. Search is changing. More people are getting answers directly from ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity instead of scrolling through Google results. AI optimization makes sure your business gets mentioned in those AI-generated recommendations. It is the newest service I offer, and the businesses that start early will have a significant head start.

What Makes This Different
Work Directly With Me
No account managers, no handoffs to junior staff. I handle strategy, execution, and communication personally. When you email me, I am the one who replies.
30-Day Proof Period
Every engagement starts with a trial month. If you are not confident in the direction after 30 days, you walk away. I take the risk so you do not have to.
Published Pricing
Every service page shows exactly what things cost. No "request a quote" games. You know the investment before we ever get on a call, so our conversation is about strategy, not sticker shock.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions I hear most from business owners exploring their options.
It depends on your biggest bottleneck. If people cannot find you online, start with SEO. If they find you but leave without reaching out, your website needs work. If your brand looks unprofessional, start with branding. Not sure? Book a free consultation and I will tell you where to focus.
Yes, and most clients do. SEO and web design pair naturally because a well-designed site converts the traffic that SEO brings in. Branding and web design also work well together since your site should reflect your brand identity. I build custom packages based on what you actually need rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all bundle.
Three factors: your starting point, your competition, and which service you need. A new website launches in 4 to 6 weeks. Brand identity takes 1 to 5 weeks. SEO depends on market competition: a plumber in a mid-size city moves faster than a lawyer in Denver. During our first call, I give you a realistic timeline for your situation.
SEO starts at $2,800/month, web design projects start at $4,700, branding starts at $2,700, and AI optimization is $2,800/month. These are real starting points, not bait-and-switch numbers. Every project gets a detailed scope and fixed price before any work begins so there are no surprises.
No. Some businesses only need one service to hit their goals. A restaurant with a great brand might only need local SEO. A consultant with steady referrals might only need a better website. I will never recommend a service you do not need. During our first call, I will tell you what will move the needle and what can wait.
That is the most common starting point. Take the quiz at the top of this page for a quick recommendation, or book a free consultation. I will review your website, search presence, and brand, then give you a prioritized action plan. No cost, no commitment.
Yes. Ongoing services like SEO are billed monthly. For project-based work like web design or branding, I offer a 50/50 split: half upfront to start, half on completion. For larger projects, I can work out a payment schedule that fits your cash flow.
You work directly with me, not an account manager who hands your project to a junior team. I publish my pricing on the website so you know what things cost before we ever talk. And every engagement starts with a 30-day proof period. If you are not satisfied with the direction after the first month, you can walk away.

Why should you trust me?
Google did.
I didn't learn SEO from a blog. I worked with Google directly. They featured me on their Google Activate program all over Europe. If Google trusted me to represent them, you can trust me to rank you on them.
