Ever Google your own business and find your competitors waving from the top 3 spots? Meanwhile… you’re sipping coffee in the Search Results Bermuda Triangle—nowhere to be found? 

You’re not alone. I’ve worked with too many savvy, heart-centered business owners doing amazing work who simply don’t show up where their best-fit clients are looking: Local Google Maps, Search, and Local Google Business Profiles.

Let’s fix that.

LOCAL SEO & CONTENt MARKETING STRATEGIST IN COLORADO

Are You Left Wondering How Your Competitors Always Show Up First?

You know the ones. They’re always parked at the top of the map when someone searches “Best __ near me.”What magic trick are they using? Spoiler alert: it’s not magic. It’s strategy. And I’ve got it dialed in.

Google Maps & Google Business profile Results on Local Google Searches

Is your business showing up in one of the 3 Top Positions for a Local Google Search?

Local Visibility is  The Unsung Hero of Online Marketing

"Most small business owners in Colorado have no idea this matters (until they’re losing business over it)"

If your Colorado-based Google Business Profile (GBP)  is gathering dust and your reviews are lonely, you're not alone.

The problem? 

Most businesses skip over local SEO because it feels techy, complex, or like something you’ll “get to later.”

Well, later is now.

I've understood the power of local SEO since I started my marketing agency in 2009. Local SEO is the "low hanging fruit" in the digital marketing world.

Let’s get your Colorado business found—by the people already looking for what you offer.

Here Are Results for Just 1 of My Local SEO Keyword Phrases

BEFORE Local SEO Marketing

Red Everywhere! Bummer dudette!

Average Rank 20+ Local SEO Google Search Results Before (1)

What is Local SEO (and Why It’s More Than Just Keywords)

Local SEO is like digital word-of-mouth—but on turbo. It helps your business show up on Google when people nearby are looking for what you offer.


Think: “best acupuncturist near me” or “top-rated business coach in Vail, CO.”

Let's Break It Down:

  • Optimizing your Google Business Profile (and keeping it active)
  • Optimizing website content with high-converting local SEO-driven keywords (i.e. "best interior designer vail co")
  • Building local relevance through SEO search-driven content and citations
  • Getting into that coveted Google 3-Pack (you know the one)

AFTER Local SEO Results

Green Everywhere! That's serious results baby!

What Do I Do?

Here's the not so "Secret Sauce" that brings home the bacon and fries it up in a pan...

Let's Break It Down:

  • Get ranked in the top 3 local Google map listings for dozens of high-intent keywords
  • Optimize your Google Business Profile so it actually works for you
  • Find real keywords your ideal customers are typing into Google
  • Target your ideal audience by geo-location and search behavior.
  • Track how visible you are (and watch that visibility grow in real time!) (See those heat maps above?)
  •  Show up consistently in your service area (even if you don’t have a storefront)
  • Stop wasting money on ads and get better leads organically

The tech is powerful. But the real magic? Is in how I use it. (Tools don’t build brands. Humans do. Tools, especially AI ones just make the whole process much more efficient and cost effective. Think ROI!)

Real Results. Real Fast. No Ad Budget Required!

Studies show that local map listings convert better than most paid ads. Why? Because these folks are ready to buy. They’re not just browsing—they’re searching for you.

Let’s help them find you on a Local SEO search in your Colorado communities.
