Who you're hiring

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.

Kristian featured on Google Activate billboard in Bilbao

Kristian listened to me from the beginning and provided a detailed plan for social media, emails, and my website. He lets you give feedback and works with your ideas, but if something doesn't fit, he tells you why. Thanks to his work, my website receives much more traffic, social media engagement is up, and emails perform much better than before. You can communicate with him in English or Spanish, which is very helpful. I highly recommend Kristian from Kreaktive!

Google Review

I cannot recommend Kreaktive highly enough!! Working with them has been an absolute game-changer. Their marketing strategies are both creative and effective. It feels like I've hired my own full-time marketing person, but even better. They did our branding and website and SEO, and I don't think I could have found a better option. They have an amazing eye for detail and a unique ability to turn my crazy ideas into reality and actually get my website found. You can't go wrong with Kreaktive and I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

Problems I solve every day

Sound familiar?

“I search for my own business on Google Maps and I'm nowhere near the top”

That's more common than you'd think, and it's usually fixable. Most local businesses have a few simple issues holding them back. Here's how I'll get you visible:

Fully optimize your Google Business Profile so Google knows exactly what you do and where
Build consistent listings across the directories that actually matter for local rankings
Create a review strategy that gets real customers talking about you online
Develop city-specific content that proves to Google you belong in local results

“My competitor has fewer reviews and worse service but they show up above me”

Rankings aren't about who deserves to rank. They're about who sends Google the right signals. The good news is those signals are things I can fix:

Audit exactly why they're outranking you in the local pack
Fix the gaps in your profile, citations, and website that are holding you back
Build local authority through the right links and mentions in your area
Track your rankings across different zip codes so we know it's actually working

“I serve multiple cities but only show up in one”

Expanding your local reach is one of the most effective ways to grow a service business. Here's how I'll help you show up in every city you serve:

Create unique, locally relevant pages for each city (not just copy-paste with the name swapped)
Optimize your service area settings so Google knows your full coverage
Build local citations and links in each target area
Track rankings city by city so you can see exactly where you're gaining ground

Built on tools the industry trusts

I use the same tools Fortune 500 companies pay six figures for, and I know how to read every report they produce

Ahrefs, SEMrush, Screaming Frog, Google Search Console, GA4, Surfer SEO, PageSpeed Insights. These aren't decorations on a proposal. They're tools I use every day to make real decisions about your rankings.

Most agencies hand you an automated report and call it strategy. I dig into the data, find what your competitors are doing right, and build a plan that specifically targets the gaps in your market.

15 years of reading SEO data. Not guessing. Reading.

Before you hire anyone

Local SEO red flags to watch for

Every agency claims they "do local SEO," but most just set up your Google Business Profile and stop there. Before you pay someone to get you more local customers, check for these warning signs:

"We'll get you #1 on Google Maps"

What you see on Google Maps depends on where you're standing when you search. Someone across town sees different results than someone next door. Anyone guaranteeing a specific Maps position doesn't understand how local search works.

They only work on your website

When someone searches "plumber near me," Google shows your business listing first, not your website. If they're ignoring your Google Business Profile, your photos, your reviews, and your posts, they're skipping the part that actually gets you calls.

They brag about listing you on hundreds of directories

Most of those directories are junk sites nobody visits. What matters is being listed correctly on the 20 to 30 sites that Google actually trusts. Ask them to name the directories. If they can't, it's automated spam.

They never mention reviews

Reviews are one of the biggest reasons Google shows one business over another in local results. If they never talk about how to get more reviews or how to respond to them, they're ignoring one of your most powerful tools.

They use the same playbook for every city

Your competition in Denver is completely different from your competition in Pueblo. If they copy and paste the same strategy across every city you serve, they'll get copy-and-paste results: none.

Ask: "Can you show me a client's local ranking map?"

Good local SEO providers can show you a visual grid of how a client ranks across different zip codes in their city. If they only show you standard search rankings, they're not actually measuring local visibility.

Their city pages all say the same thing

If your "Denver" page and your "Colorado Springs" page are identical except for the city name, Google will ignore both. Real local pages need real local content. Otherwise, you're paying for pages that will never rank.

They report impressions instead of phone calls

You hired them to get your phone to ring. If their reports show "impressions" and "clicks" but never mention how many people actually called you or asked for directions, they can't tell you if it's working.
