The Person Behind the Work

Hey, I'm Chad. Let me be straight with you.

I'm not a big agency. I'm a startup founder in Siloam Springs, AR who's obsessed with local SEO — and I've been proving it works on my own projects for years before ever offering it to anyone else.

My Story

I grew up in North Carolina — where local businesses are the backbone of every community. These days I'm based in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, a small town that feels a lot like home: cow pastures, tight-knit neighborhoods, and local contractors who work hard and deserve to be found online.

My local SEO experience didn't start in an agency — it started in the trenches. I spent years doing SEO for my own projects, learning what actually moves the needle in local search. No theory, just results. That hands-on background is what I bring to every client.

I'm currently pursuing a degree in Web Development because I believe great local SEO deserves a great website. Contractors shouldn't have to hire two separate vendors — I'm building the skills to be both.

My Journey

Building expertise one project at a time.

Learned Local SEO Hands-On

Ranked my own projects in local search. Studied Google's algorithms, GBP optimization, and citation building obsessively — years before offering it as a service.

Saw Real Results

Grew my own local search visibility significantly. Proved the methods work on real businesses before ever pitching them to anyone else.

Started Learning Web Dev

Realized contractors need more than just SEO — they need fast, converting websites. Enrolled in a Web Development degree to build that skill set the right way.

Launched Local Search Ally

Moved to Siloam Springs and started helping NWA contractors get the online presence they deserve. This is just the beginning.

How I Work

Values that guide every engagement.

Transparency first

You'll always know what I'm working on, what it costs, and whether it's working. No smoke, no mirrors.

Results before revenue

I proved these methods on my own projects before charging anyone for them. I won't sell you something I haven't tested myself.

Contractor-focused, always

I don't work with everyone. Contractors are my niche — I understand your market, your customers, and your search patterns.

No long-term contracts

If I'm not delivering value, you can walk away. My job is to keep earning your business every single month.
