Houston, TX Wealth Management ~6 months

Near-invisible to page one in about six months

The challenge: A respected, decades-established wealth-management firm with a strong offline reputation — but almost no presence in organic search. The people already looking for exactly what they offered couldn't find them on Google.

  • Rebuilt the site's technical and on-page SEO foundation
  • Optimized core service pages (retirement, tax, and estate planning) around how clients actually search
  • Added authoritative, experience-rich content and entity signals to earn trust with Google

Organic traffic climbed roughly 17× in about six months, with 400+ keywords now ranking — many in the top three.

San Antonio, TX Managed IT & Cybersecurity ~4 months

Years flat, then a 20×+ breakout

The challenge: A managed-IT provider in a crowded metro market, stuck flat in organic search for years despite excellent service. Competitors were getting the searches they should have owned.

  • Targeted the high-intent searches local businesses actually use to find IT support
  • Built out service and location content mapped directly to those queries
  • Tightened technical SEO and on-page structure so Google could crawl and trust the site

Organic visibility broke out hard — 20×+ growth and 540+ keywords ranking in roughly four months, with $0 spent on ads.

Minneapolis–St. Paul, MN Managed IT & Cybersecurity ~12 months

A steady climb that keeps compounding

The challenge: An IT and cybersecurity firm serving high-compliance industries — dependable service, but little organic discovery and a thin keyword footprint to build on.

  • Mapped content to compliance- and industry-specific search intent
  • Grew topical authority with a consistent, deliberate content cadence
  • Earned rankings that compound month over month instead of spiking and fading

A clean, accelerating climb — roughly 3× organic traffic and 360+ keywords ranking over the past year, and still rising.
