// Results

Real results for small businesses.

Three recent clients with three different problems: one couldn't be found on Google, and two were paying too much for each lead.

New law firm · Los Angeles
#1 on Google

A new boutique firm whose website didn't show up even when people searched for the firm's own name. The site had no page titles and no image alt text. I rebuilt it with on-site SEO done properly, and it was ranking within two days of relaunch. It's now #1 for the firm's key search terms.

−49%

Account-wide cost per lead, cut nearly in half since I took over. Ads had been sending traffic to the home page. I restructured the campaigns, built a dedicated landing page and added remarketing.

// How I work

Find what's broken, fix it, then keep improving.

No long-term contracts or black-box reporting. You'll always know what we're doing and why.

Audit

I review your website, search rankings, ads and lead flow to see where you're invisible, where money is wasted and where leads slip away.

Fix the foundation

Site SEO, tracking and the technical issues come first, so everything built on top actually works and can be measured.

Build

I launch or rebuild your campaigns, landing pages and follow-up automation based on what the audit found.

Improve

Ongoing SEO, testing and plain-English reporting focused on what matters: leads and new clients.

// About Doug

A tech background, put to work for small businesses.

I started my career in IT, as a senior information security analyst at Nestlé and then on its global Active Directory and Microsoft Exchange team, with start-up experience along the way. When layoffs hit the tech sector, I went out on my own. I taught myself to build websites and run Google Ads campaigns that had to pay for themselves.

That was 15+ years ago. For the past 5+ years I've worked directly with small businesses, including law firms, home services companies and real estate professionals, helping them get more traffic and turn it into clients.

Because I come from IT, I handle the technical side myself: the website, the SEO, the tracking, the hosting and the automation. You work with one person from start to finish.
