Help the right customers find your business online.

Better rankings start with clearer structure.
The goal is not to chase random keywords. The goal is to make your business easier to understand, easier to trust, and easier to find when someone searches for the services you actually offer.
- Clear headings, metadata, internal links, and page organization
- Dedicated service pages instead of hiding everything on one homepage
- Location-aware copy and service-area pages where they make sense
- Google Business Profile consistency, reviews, and customer-facing details
- Supporting content that answers real customer questions clearly enough for both people and answer engines
- Search Console review and ongoing visibility improvements
Google Business Profile
Your website and your Google profile should tell the same story.
I can set up, clean up, optimize, and manage your Google Business Profile so the information customers see in Search and Maps matches the website and stays useful over time.
- Profile setup, access and verification guidance
- Primary and secondary categories, services and service areas
- Business description, hours, phone, website and contact details
- Logo, cover image and customer-supplied project photos
- Review link setup and review-response support
- Ongoing posts, service updates and profile maintenance on managed plans
Google controls verification and final profile approval. I can handle the setup and optimization work, but no provider can guarantee Google will approve or rank a profile.

Built to be understood by Google and answer engines.
AEO means Answer Engine Optimization. It is the plain-English side of modern search: giving search engines and AI tools clean, crawlable information they can understand when someone asks a question about your service.
- Direct answers to the questions customers actually ask
- Clear service, location, business, and contact information
- Semantic headings, internal links, and structured data
- Consistent business details, reviews, proof, and project context
- Content that is useful without hiding the important facts behind effects or scripts
AEO does not guarantee that any AI tool will quote or recommend a business. It gives those systems a clearer, more trustworthy source to understand.
Local signals
Tell Google what you do and where you do it.
Local search works better when the website carries real geographic context naturally and the Google Business Profile supports the same information. That can include Lafayette and Acadiana service language, dedicated location pages when justified, project references, consistent business details, profile categories and services, reviews, photos, posts, and internal links.
Common gaps
Strong businesses can still be hard to find.
Typical problems include generic homepage copy, vague service names, no dedicated service pages, weak location signals, outdated business information, thin content, unclear calls to action, and websites that are launched once and never improved.
Ongoing visibility
SEO is not a one-time switch.
Search visibility grows through useful pages, fresh proof, better internal linking, content updates, technical cleanup, reviews, and ongoing attention to how customers actually search. The site should keep getting more useful as the business grows.
Questions
Common questions.
Is local SEO just putting city names everywhere?
No. Useful local SEO gives important services clear pages, adds genuine geographic context, keeps business details consistent, and answers the questions local customers are actually searching.
Can you work with my Google Business Profile?
Yes. I offer Google Business Profile setup, cleanup, optimization, and ongoing management. That can include categories, services, service areas, hours, business description, photos, review links, posts, profile updates, and review-response support.
What is AEO?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It means structuring your website so search engines and AI answer tools can quickly understand your services, locations, expertise, and answers to common customer questions. It works alongside SEO rather than replacing it.
How long does SEO take?
There is no guaranteed timeline. The goal is to build a stronger foundation, measure what Google is seeing, and improve the site over time rather than promise a specific ranking date.
Do you offer Google Business Profile setup and management?
Yes. A one-time setup and cleanup option is available, and ongoing Google Business Profile management is included in higher monthly SEO plans. Google controls verification, so verification itself cannot be guaranteed.
