SEO for Front Range businesses · Boulder, Colorado · ranking since 1995

Be the business Google ranks and AI recommends.

There are three places people find a business now: Google Maps, Google search, and whatever an AI assistant says when someone asks. My SEO Audit Report measures all three and tells you where you actually stand in each.

01

Rank what I own first

I built and ranked my own properties before taking on clients, so you can check my work before we ever talk. Proof before promises, always.

02

Run it like a scientist

A baseline, a hypothesis, a protocol, and one number we are trying to move. A scientific approach, applied to search.

03

Get cited by the machines

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews. Built to be the source the answer engines quote.

A property I ranked

One rescue. One focused year.
From a whisper to a megaphone.

Bone Voyage Dog Rescue had drifted at low authority for years. Then about a year of focused SEO took it from a domain rating of 12 to a peak of 62, ranking nationally for the words that matter and helping place more than four thousand dogs into homes. No paid ads, built on earned press and original research.

Where I work

Local SEO, one client per market.

Front Range coverage from Boulder. If a competitor in your city hires me first, I can't take you, so earlier is better.

Why work with me

The conviction is earned, not borrowed.

I founded adoption.com in 1995, before "SEO" was a phrase anyone used. My background is medical technology and biochemistry, so I care about evidence over hype. While much of the industry wrote search's obituary, I kept ranking real properties with measurable results.

I have been doing this since before most of my competitors were in high school. That is the whole pitch.

Fair questions

What owners usually ask before saying yes.

Why an audit instead of hiring an agency?

Because you should know where you stand before anyone sells you a retainer. The report is one-off, measured, and yours to act on however you like, including handing it to whoever already handles your marketing.

What is the Visibility Snapshot?

The part of the report that answers one question: when someone goes looking for what you sell, do they find you? There are three places that happens now. Google Maps, Google organic results, and the answer an AI assistant gives. The Snapshot measures all three and puts them on one page, because most businesses are strong in one and invisible in the other two without ever knowing it.

How do I know the numbers are real?

Every figure comes from a live measurement: a crawl of your site, a Lighthouse run, a Google Maps search, a paid keyword API, and real questions put to five AI assistants. Nothing is estimated and nothing is written by a language model. Where something could not be measured, the report says so instead of filling the gap.

Not sure where your business stands?

Start with the free scan and see the technical baseline, or go straight to the full Visibility Snapshot and find out where you land in Google Maps, in search results, and in what the AI assistants tell people who are looking for what you sell.
