SEO That Drives Real Revenue

Most clients see meaningful ranking movement within 3 to 6 months. Traffic and lead volume typically follow 1 to 2 months after rankings improve. Competitive markets like personal injury law or Tampa real estate take longer — plan for 6 to 12 months for significant gains. The results compound over time: the work done in month 3 is still working in month 18.

No. Every engagement is month-to-month. You stay because the work is producing results, not because you're locked in. That said, SEO takes time to compound — clients who see the strongest outcomes are those who commit to a consistent strategy for at least 6 months.

The primary verticals are law firms, medical practices, jewelry stores, real estate agents, wealth managers, interior designers, insurance agencies, and personal trainers — primarily in Tampa and across Florida. Each industry has its own keyword landscape, competitive dynamics, and ranking factors. Deep vertical expertise means faster results and fewer wasted moves.

Yes. While most clients are in the Tampa Bay area, national and remote clients are welcome. Industries with strong online lead flow — e-commerce, SaaS, online coaching, and niche professional services — work well regardless of location.

You work directly with Connor — not an account manager who relays information to a team you never meet. Strategy, execution, and reporting are handled by one person who understands your business. No junior teams, no handoffs, no templated approaches. The tradeoff is a focused client roster: this only works at a certain scale, which is why the onboarding process is selective.

A 15-minute call where I pull your actual SEMrush data live — current rankings, keyword gaps, technical issues, and what your top competitors are doing that you aren't. You leave with a clear picture of where you stand and what a realistic path to page one looks like. No pitch deck, no sales pressure.

Monthly reports cover keyword ranking changes, organic traffic trends, technical health, and the specific work completed that month. Reports focus on metrics that indicate business impact — lead volume from organic, ranking movement on target keywords — not just activity metrics designed to make the work look busy.

If, after 90 days of consistent work, the data doesn't show meaningful ranking improvement on target keywords and traffic isn't trending up, we have an honest conversation about why. Sometimes the issue is the strategy, in which case we adjust. Sometimes the issue is the market or competitive landscape — and the right answer might be that SEO isn't the highest-leverage channel for the business. Either way, there's no contract holding you to keep paying. You stop when the work isn't producing.

The $1,000 Starter plan is foundational SEO for businesses just starting to invest seriously — 8 blog posts a month, 3 keyword clusters, on-page optimization. It builds momentum but won't transform a business by itself. The $4,000 Authority plan is for businesses ready to dominate their vertical — 20 blog posts, 8 keyword clusters, full internal linking systems, advanced strategy work. The honest answer: if you're early in SEO investment, start with Starter and grow as the work proves itself. If you're an established business with a real competitive market, Authority is where meaningful market-share gains happen.

An experienced in-house SEO at market rate costs $90,000-$140,000/year plus benefits, plus the cost of the tools they need (SEMrush, Ahrefs, screaming frog, etc., typically $400-$800/month). That's $100K-$160K total. Hiring a consultant means you're getting senior-level work at a fraction of that cost, with no recruiting effort, no management overhead, and no risk that they leave after a year and you lose institutional knowledge. The consultant model makes sense for most businesses under 200 employees. Above that scale, in-house often makes more sense — and at that point, a consultant becomes a useful supplement, not a replacement.

Email me, and the next month doesn't bill. The work that's been done stays — your site's optimization, the content that's been published, the technical fixes that have been implemented are all yours and continue to produce SEO value long after the engagement ends. You'd lose the ongoing strategy work, the content production, and the active competitive monitoring. Most SEO results compound, so a site with 6-12 months of SEO investment behind it keeps benefiting for months after the active work stops.
