I’d argue that most websites are ugly. Even worse, web designs that do look cool are often fundamentally broken in the eyes of search engine crawlers.
Likewise, coupled with poor SEO, having a bad design will tank your Ecommerce store, making your physical products, and any video assets you made for them completely useless.
My technical SEO audit performs a deep-dive scan of your site’s architecture to identify "silent killers" like broken links, crawl errors, and duplicate content that prevents you from ranking.
But to get there you must market yourself properly, and build your brand, so you can move out of the shadows and into the light. Cleaning up your site’s "under-the-hood" code is merely a last step, as next no one will buy from you if they don't trust you in the first place.
In our fast-paced local economy, a slow-loading website is a guaranteed way to lose a lead to a competitor. I analyze your site’s performance against Google’s strict Core Web Vitals, identifying the exact scripts and heavy assets that are dragging down your load times.
This optimization doesn't just improve your user experience—it sends a powerful signal to Google that your business is a high-quality destination for local searchers.
A standard SEO audit often misses the "geographic signals" that are vital for local Chicago area businesses. I verify that your website is correctly communicating its physical relevance to the surrounding areas through localized schema markup, and consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) data.
This ensures that when a neighbor searches for your expertise "near me," Google has 100% confidence in recommending your business as the most relevant local choice.
I believe that a truly effective SEO strategy requires a deep understanding of your physical business environment, which is why I don't hide behind an email address.
I show my face in the short video up top, and here’s another recent video of me.
Because I am located right here near Lake Zurich, I offer the unique benefit of traveling to you in person to present my findings if necessary, so changes can be made to your system.
We’ll walk through the audit together, turning complex technical data into a clear, actionable roadmap for your local growth.
IMPORTANT: everything below is subject to payments being made on time, and prompt communication. We will establish those details once we come to an agreement. Also, here is a recent video of me, for a site where I sell kefir grains, in case we meet in person for any of this.
Contract vs. Email: everything is subject to your project requirements, but HUGE projects usually require a small contract in plain English. A typical contract for a large project is about 2-5 pages, but small projects like a basic website can be done through an agreement by email (no fancy contract). It all depends on what you want, but you must pay in milestones as I describe below. Also, if something is NOT in our agreement (via contract or email), then it isn't included in my services. So be clear with what you need, because I only charge based on the specific services you ask for. Anything beyond that may increase the price (though if it's super small and within the scope anyway, I'm probably okay without increasing the price).
Payment milestones: there are usually 2-3 milestones where you pay. They're usually done in 1/2's or 1/3's of the total project price: first to start, second on first draft, and third upon completing everything in our agreement.
Payment types: I accept Cash in USD, Zelle, Credit, Debit, Check, Money Order, Cryptocurrency, Gold, and Silver.
Discounts: you get 5% off if you pay with Cash, Gold, or Silver. All others are 5% more. If you want the discount, we'll meet at a local library room or something similar, and I'll give you a receipt as proof of payment. Although if you do Gold or Silver, I will want to test them first in front of you via sound, weight, and shape.
Time to start: physical payment methods also get me to start the project immediately. Anything else may have a hold until the payment clears (usually 3-7 days).
Time to complete: subject to your project requirements. You will get this in our agreement.
