The technical side
I look at the code behind a website and fix the things Google likes to see, including speed, structure, and schema.
How Elevate Local Started
A few years ago, I built a website for a good friend. She runs her own chiropractor practice. The website looked really great, and we were both proud of it. But after a few weeks, I noticed a big problem. A website that does not bring in new phone calls or leads does not help a small business grow. It is basically just a digital business card.
I decided to fix that. I started reading about search engine optimization. I wanted to figure out how to put her chiropractor business right in front of people actively searching for back pain relief. While I learned how to do SEO the right way, I completely fell in love with the process. I loved seeing real results and more foot traffic walking through her doors. Now, my goal is to take what I learned and help other Lincoln business owners grow their shops, offices, and local services.

My Background as a Software Engineer
I am a software engineer by trade. For the past five years, I have built SEO optimized websites and mobile apps. This tech background gives me a huge advantage when I do search engine optimization. I know how to look at the code behind a website and fix the technical things that Google likes to see. I balance this technical side with plain language so you always know what we are doing and why.

Plain language
You always know what we are doing and why. No confusing reports, and no jargon for its own sake.
What I Do
Most people find a local business on Google Maps or in the “map pack.” That’s the short list of three businesses at the top of the results. I help you get on that list.
Here’s what that looks like
Local SEO and Google Business Profile optimization
I tune up your profile so you show up for “near me” searches.
Keyword research and strategy
I find the exact words your customers type into Google.
On-page SEO and SEO content writing
I improve your pages and write helpful local content.
Technical SEO audits and page speed
I fix the hidden problems that keep your site from ranking.
Local citations and link building
I make sure your business name, address, and phone number match everywhere online. I also earn links from trusted Nebraska websites.
Schema markup
I add code that helps Google and AI tools understand your business.
Review management and competitor analysis
I help you earn more reviews and see what the top businesses do better.
Website design and development
I build fast, mobile-friendly sites for WordPress and beyond.
Mobile app development
I build iOS and Android apps for businesses that need one.
The Rank Map: Where Every Client Starts
Every client starts with a rank map. A rank map shows where your business appears on Google Maps across your city, spot by spot. It’s an honest picture of where you stand next to your competitors.
I call it our north star. We build the first plan from it. As we go, it shows us what to work on next. Sometimes you need more topical relevance, so Google knows what you do. Sometimes you need more geographic relevance, so Google knows where you do it. Sometimes you need more backlinks. The map tells us.
- Map pack, the top three
- Visible, but below the pack
- Not showing in the top results
Sample grid only. Your audit maps your real city, spot by spot.
The rank map is our north star.
The first plan comes from it. Later, it shows what to work on next.
Topical relevance
So Google knows what you do.
Geographic relevance
So Google knows where you do it.
Backlinks
So trusted sites point customers toward you.
