SEO services — Metro Detroit & Michigan
Most “SEO services” are a checklist of tactics run by whoever answers the ticket queue that week — a few blog posts, a citation blast, a dashboard nobody reads. That is not a strategy, it is noise billed monthly.
I spent 20 years as a corporate operator — a decade at JPMorgan Chase and 11 years serving the Fortune 100, rising to VP — building and running strategy for organizations that measured everything against real business outcomes. I run SEO the same way: a plan built around your revenue, your service area, and how your actual customers search — on Google and increasingly inside AI answers like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.
You work directly with me. No account managers, no junior team, no ticket queue — I keep 3 to 5 clients at a time.
Tell me your business and market and I'll send back where you stand in Google, the Map Pack, and AI search — plus the first two things I'd fix.
Rankings without a strategy behind them are just a report — not more customers.
Detroit and Michigan are dense, competitive markets. A generic SEO retainer built around a template of blog posts and backlinks loses to a competitor who actually understands your service area, your seasonality, and how buyers compare local options in the Map Pack and in AI answers.
I build SEO like I built strategy in corporate finance and staffing: identify where the real leverage is, fix that first, and measure everything against calls, form fills, and booked business — not vanity keyword rankings.
Based in Northville and working across Metro Detroit and Michigan, I have taken local service businesses from a 2.8-star Google rating to 4.8 stars, exceeded enterprise-level performance goals by 121% in a prior VP role, and driven double-digit profit and cost improvements for the accounts I managed. That same discipline is what gets applied to your search visibility.
