WordPress websites & SEOthat work as hard as you do.
Small business websites and SEO strategies that put you in front of the right people — on Google, in the local map pack, in AI search — and give them a reason to call.
No agency runaround. No account managers, no handoffs, no surprise bills. You work directly with me — one developer with 17+ years of hands-on experience, clear communication, common-sense pricing, and straight answers about exactly what you're paying for and why.
SIM.001 — THE AERIAL SCREW. Leonardo da Vinci, Codex Atlanticus, c. 1489 — the machine behind the TIV360 mark, rendered live with hand-rolled math. No libraries, no CDN, no WebGL. Crank the velocity past 1.6 rad/s and achieve what four Renaissance crewmen couldn't.
Why most small business websites don't bring in business
If any of these hit close to home, you're in the right place — they're the exact problems I've spent 17+ years fixing for small businesses.
Your site looks fine, but the phone isn't ringing.
A website that just sits there is a brochure, not a business tool. If it isn't structured for search and built to convert visitors into calls, it's quietly costing you customers every single day.
Customers can't find you on Google.
When someone in your town searches for exactly what you do, your competitors show up and you don't. That's not bad luck — it's missing SEO, and it's very fixable.
You paid for marketing and can't tell what you got.
Vague reports, mystery invoices, no straight answers. You deserve to know exactly what work is being done, why it matters, and what it's doing for your bottom line.
Hello, I'm Brandon. I've been building websites and growing small businesses online since 2008.
Most clients come to me with a website that isn't doing much of anything — it looks okay, but nobody's finding it and the phone isn't ringing. I fix that. I combine WordPress development, hands-on SEO strategy, and modern AI SEO into one plan, built and carried out by one accountable person. I've done it for independent barbers, contractors, restaurants, and retail shops — and for enterprise teams at Mayo Clinic.
I don't hand things off, I don't outsource, and I don't disappear after launch. The person who quotes your project is the person who builds it, optimizes it, and answers when you call. Clear communication, common-sense pricing, no surprise bills.
What I can do for your business
Whether you need a brand-new website, better Google rankings, or someone to finally fix what's been holding you back — it's all handled under one roof, by one person.
Website Design & Development
Fast, mobile-first WordPress websites designed to turn visitors into customers. SEO is structured into every page from the first line of code — not bolted on after launch.
Website Design →SEO & AI SEO Marketing
Rank higher on Google and get cited by AI search. Proven SEO fundamentals plus GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), so customers find you wherever they're searching in 2026.
SEO Services →WordPress & WooCommerce
Sell online without the headaches. Full WooCommerce builds, product SEO, checkout optimization, speed tuning, schema markup, and custom functionality stock themes can't touch.
WordPress Dev →AI SEO & Automation
Show up in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — plus practical AI automation for chat, workflows, and the busywork that eats your week.
AI SEO Solutions →Website Maintenance & Support
Updates, backups, security hardening, and priority support from a real person who knows your site — so it keeps working while you run your business.
Maintenance →IT Support & Cybersecurity
PC help, business email setup, Windows 11 solutions, and practical security guidance — fewer tech headaches, explained in plain English.
Tech Services →Video & YouTube SEO
Video production, editing, and YouTube channel SEO — keyword-optimized titles, thumbnails, and video content that ranks in both YouTube and Google search.
Video Services →Website Data & Traffic
GA4, Google Search Console, Google Ads conversion tracking, Bing Webmaster Tools, and WooCommerce analytics set up correctly — so every marketing dollar is backed by real numbers, not guesswork.
Data & Traffic →Brand Consulting
Look like the same trustworthy business everywhere customers find you — website, Google Business Profile, Yelp, social, directories, and YouTube. One consistent brand, every touchpoint.
Brand Consulting →What sets this work apart
17+ years and 200+ projects have taught me what actually moves the needle for small and mid-size businesses — and what's just agency theater.
Local Market Expertise
Deep roots in Santa Rosa, CA and Rochester, MN — plus a network of local directory sites across both regions, so I see firsthand how local customers actually search. Remote clients served nationwide.
Enterprise + Small Business Experience
Former Mayo Clinic web services professional who brings enterprise standards to small business budgets — big-league process without big-agency prices.
WordPress & SEO Under One Roof
Your developer and your SEO strategist are the same person. No silos, no finger-pointing between vendors — which is why the results are consistently better.
Google Analytics 4 Certified
Every decision is backed by data. I track rankings, traffic, calls, and conversions — not vanity metrics that look impressive but don't pay your bills.
AI SEO Ready for 2026
Search is being reshaped by AI. I optimize for traditional Google and for AI-powered discovery — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — because both decide who gets found now.

Always Working. Always Optimizing.
Across 50+ active client sites, this is what ongoing SEO management looks like in real time — the daily work that keeps rankings climbing and phones ringing.
Human + Machine — the TIV360 workshop, 2026. One accountable developer, one tireless AI apprentice, zero handoffs. The big board fills line by line; when the build hits 100%, a site ships and the counter ticks. Drag to look around.
SIM NOTE: Every deploy here ships with zero meetings, zero account managers, and zero surprise invoices — same as the real thing. The robot works for electricity. The human works for coffee and the occasional StarCraft break.

Small business questions, straight answers
The things owners ask me before we start — answered the same way I'd answer them on the phone.
How much does a small business website cost?
It depends on what your business actually needs — a five-page local services site is a very different project than a full WooCommerce store. Every project is scoped and priced up front, in plain English, before any work begins. Start with a free estimate and you'll get a real number, not a sales pitch.
How long does SEO take to show results?
Anyone who guarantees number-one rankings in thirty days is selling you something. For most local businesses, meaningful movement shows up within the first few months, with results compounding from there. I track everything in Google Analytics 4 and Search Console, so you see exactly what's improving and why.
What is AI SEO, and does my business really need it?
AI SEO (also called GEO, Generative Engine Optimization) makes your business visible in AI-powered search — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. A growing share of customers now ask AI tools for recommendations instead of scrolling search results. If your site isn't structured to be found and cited there, you're invisible to those customers.
Do I actually own my website?
Yes — completely. Your domain, your hosting, your content, your site. I build on WordPress specifically because it doesn't lock you into a proprietary platform, and I will never hold your website hostage. That's not how I do business.
Can you fix or redesign my existing website?
Absolutely. A large part of my work is rescuing sites that are slow, outdated, hacked, or just not producing. I'll audit what you have, tell you honestly what's worth keeping, and give you a clear path forward — whether that's a tune-up or a rebuild.
Do you only work with businesses in Santa Rosa and Rochester?
No. I have deep local roots in Santa Rosa, California and Rochester, Minnesota, but I've worked with businesses nationwide for years via remote. Phone, email, video calls — wherever you are, the process works exactly the same.
Will I actually work with you, or get passed to someone else?
You work with me, period. I'm a one-person shop by design — no account managers, no junior developers, no outsourcing. The person who answers your first email is the same person who builds your site and picks up the phone two years later.
