Why SEO Matters Here
Your Cookeville Customers Are Searching.
Are They Finding You?
Cookeville’s economy is growing fast — Tennessee Tech brings thousands of students and faculty, the medical corridor continues expanding, and new residents are moving to Putnam County every month. When they need a service, they search Google first. A strong small business SEO strategy makes sure you’re the one they find.
📍Local Visibility
When someone in Cookeville, Algood, Baxter, or Livingston searches for your service, you need to show up in Google’s Local Pack and organic results. I’ll optimize your Google Business Profile, build local citations, and create content that targets the Upper Cumberland region specifically.
📊Revenue, Not Just Rankings
I don’t chase vanity metrics. My approach connects SEO tactics to real business outcomes — measurable ROI you can take to the bank. Using my keyword forecasting tool, I’ll project real traffic and revenue potential before we even start.
🤝A Neighbor, Not a Stranger
I live in Cookeville. I kayak the Cumberland River. I eat at the local spots and know the business community. When you hire me, you’re working with someone who understands this market firsthand — not an agency in another state sending generic reports.
What I Do:
SEO Services for Cookeville Businesses
Every engagement starts with understanding your business, not running a template. Here’s how I’ve helped hundreds of businesses — from roofers and manufacturers to enterprise brands like Logan’s Roadhouse and HCA — and how I can help yours.
In-Depth SEO Audits
A comprehensive roadmap covering your site’s technical health, content gaps, on-page optimization, and link profile. Not a generic checklist — a document your team can actually execute on. I’ve audited everything from 50-page local sites to enterprise platforms with millions of pages.

Content Strategy & Podcast-Driven Marketing
Content is the fuel of SEO. I’ll develop a content marketing plan built on real keyword data — not guesswork. Through my Podcasting As An SEO Service (PAASS) offering, I can also turn a single podcast interview into 10+ pieces of optimized content across platforms.

Technical SEO Implementation
From crawl errors and redirect chains to site speed optimization, schema markup, and Core Web Vitals — I’ll identify what’s holding your site back technically and either direct your developers or execute the fixes myself. I’ve been writing about creating worthwhile SEO content and fixing broken sites for nearly two decades.
Link Building & Digital PR
I’ve pioneered creative link building strategies — including community cleanup events for local links that actually earn media coverage. I’ll develop a link acquisition strategy that builds real authority for your Cookeville business, not spammy shortcuts. My article on simple, effective link building outlines the philosophy.
