SEO and organic growth
Technical audits and cleanups, search intent and funnel-aligned keyword strategy, content architecture and topic clusters, and frameworks built for how AI search actually cites sources now.

Most consultants have never owned the risk.
I spent nine years as an engineer at HP, took a software company past 200,000 users as COO, and owned Google’s $70-million-a-year syndication partnership at Alot.com. Then I spent thirteen years building my own properties, where being wrong cost me my own money. Now I help founders and teams work out what is actually broken online — and fix it.

Who I am
Engineer by training. Operator by experience. Marketer by choice.
Most problems are systems problems — and the interesting part is usually the part nobody is measuring.
I started with an electrical engineering degree from Chico State and spent almost nine years at HP as a product development engineer, program manager and supplier manager. That is where I learned to look past the symptom to the system underneath it.
I left to become COO of Auctiva, which became the number one third-party selling platform on eBay — $20 million a year and past 200,000 users. From there I went to New York as VP of Product at Alot.com, where I built the brand from scratch and was the person on the phone with Google about a syndication partnership worth $70 million a year.
Then I did something most people at that level do not do: I stopped taking the next title and spent thirteen years building my own things. PPC arbitrage into CPA offers, affiliate systems, Amazon FBA, domain portfolios, blog networks in genuinely competitive niches. No salary, no cover. If a decision was wrong, I felt it in my own bank account.

Since then I have led SEO for Brian Tracy, Jack Canfield and Rule #1 Investing at Brandetize, consulted independently, and most recently directed search and strategy for law firms at Ten Golden Rules. I am independent again now. The full career, year by year, is here. The through-line is the same one it has always been: work out what is really happening, fix what is genuinely broken, and build something that keeps working when nobody is watching.

What I do
Diagnosis first. Then the work.
Four areas — though most engagements start as one and turn out to be another. That is usually the useful part.
Websites and systems
Site structure, internal linking and navigation. Performance, caching, redirects and schema. DNS, SSL and CMS problems that everyone else has given up on. Content workflows that match the team that has to run them.
Content, media and messaging
Long-form content, landing pages and resources. YouTube and podcast presence. Email sequences and nurture flows. Messaging that sounds like a person rather than a committee.
AI and workflow design
AI as a lever, not a gimmick. Research and ideation workflows, drafting pipelines with humans still in control, and systems that speed up good decisions rather than mass-producing bad ones.
AI, specifically
Two different problems that both get called “AI.”
Most of what gets sold as an AI strategy is one of these two wearing the other’s clothes. They need different work, and confusing them is expensive.
Outside your business
Getting cited when the answer is the search result
A growing share of your customers never reach a page of blue links. They ask, they get an answer, and they act on it. If your business is not in that answer you were never in the running — and it will not show up as a ranking drop, so most owners never find out.
The work is making your site something a model can safely quote: unambiguous entities, clean structured data, claims that are specific and attributable, and pages that answer the actual question instead of circling it for 1,200 words. A lot of that is technical SEO done properly. Some of it is genuinely new, and it moves fast enough that last year’s playbook is already stale.
Inside your business
Using it on your own work without wrecking the quality
Research and competitive analysis that used to take a week. Drafting pipelines where a person still owns the argument and makes the final call. Reporting and internal ops that stop eating your team’s Monday morning.
I build these for teams and I run them on my own work every day, which is the only honest reason I can tell you where they break. The wins are real and often large. They are also narrower than the pitch decks suggest, and the failure modes are quiet — you do not notice bad output until it has been shipping for a month.
What I will not do
Point a model at your keyword list and publish the output. It is cheap, it is fast, and it is the most reliable way to make a site worse. Mass-produced content is a liability with a publishing schedule attached. If that is the engagement you are after, I am the wrong person, and I will tell you on the first call rather than take the money.
What people say
From the people who were there.
Fifteen recommendations written on LinkedIn between 2008 and 2026 — by the people who managed Bill, reported to him, and shipped alongside him. Longer ones are excerpted; all are public on LinkedIn.
“One of his biggest strengths was his ability to bridge the gap between AI and management. Bill has extensive knowledge of implementing AI solutions into business workflows, which helped improve operations, make our department more effective, and create a better experience for our clients. I’d recommend Bill to any organization looking for a leader who understands both the people side of management and how AI and emerging technology can be applied strategically.”
“I had the privilege of working alongside Bill at Brandetize for a few years, and I can confidently say that he is an absolute standout professional… His contributions spanned a wide range of responsibilities, from SEO wizardry to YouTube video editing, and social media management. He wore many hats, and consistently impressed me with his ability to deliver outstanding results.”
“Bill’s grasp of SEO principles and strategies consistently stands out. His analytical mindset allows him to uncover optimization opportunities that significantly elevate clients’ online visibility. What truly sets Bill apart is his proactive problem-solving approach, enabling him to craft and execute thoughtful plans that deliver tangible results.”
“His deep understanding of search engine algorithms, keyword research, and on-page optimization strategies is evident in the outstanding results he consistently delivers. Bill is not just focused on driving traffic; he understands how crucial it is to align SEO efforts with overall business goals, resulting in a comprehensive and effective approach.”
“When it comes to getting things to rank on Google, Bill’s expertise is remarkable. He has a unique ability to turn SEO strategies into tangible results… What sets Bill apart is his comprehensive grasp of marketing strategies and funnels, which plays a pivotal role in enhancing the customer journey and driving conversions.”
“When it comes to SEO knowledge, Bill is one of the best. He has a vast knowledge base and a myriad of experiences helping clients across multiple industries rank for what they actually want to rank and be found for. Bill is also a team player — whenever you need him, he’s willing to jump in, educate himself on what he needs to know and help as much as possible.”
“I’ve worked with Bill many times on many projects and can say he’s one of the smartest, hardest working digital marketers I know. His SEO skills are some of the best in the world and he’s a seasoned expert in most aspects of digital marketing and lead generation. He makes complex tasks look easy. If you get a chance to work with him, do it.”
“In addition to his expert-level grasp of the nuanced technicalities of all things digital marketing, Bill brings a passion and enthusiasm to everything he works on… Anyone who has the deep experience and talent that Bill has will be an asset to the teams they work on, and anyone who can bring that value to the table with purpose while making others around them better is a star.”
“He has such a vast variety of industry experiences and knowledge. Not only is he willing to listen but he responds with such insightful wisdom. He is a well-rounded individual in many aspects of life. It was a pleasure to be able to work aside such a genius.”
“Bill and I worked together on a major conversion project for MIVA. The risk was high — approximately 80% of our revenue was affected — and the deadline was tight: three weeks to switch partners before the old partner turned off our feed. During those 18+ hour days, Bill kept everyone pulling in the same direction. The result: a successful conversion, an improved product, and a 60% bump in gross revenue.”
“Bill is the true ‘father’ of Alot.com. When our business was facing a significant transition, Bill took up the challenge of developing an entire new brand and product line, executing a complex plan in a very short period of time. Not only did Bill conceive the Alot.com brand name and identity, he led the product team and managed a key syndication relationship with Google.”
“Bill is an outside the box creator who is passionate about building a valuable product while increasing the company’s bottom line. He inspires his team mates to work together and get the job done without the politics… Bill is a great team player and an essential asset to any organization.”
“Bill is an inspiring leader. He is very intuitive and creative when problem-solving and has a very genuine approach to project and people management. He is a very hard worker which helps him motivate those around him. I never expect anything less than greatness from Bill.”
“Bill is a talented, intelligent, and effective online product development expert. Bill was invaluable in helping MIVA Direct successfully develop and transition to the ALOT brand of Google syndication products.”
“Bill knows how to get a team together and manage it effectively without micro-managing. This allows him to create a team that’s not only fast, but able to independently test out new ideas for the same cause. The amount of trust that forms between the people that he manages and himself is something that any professional organization wants to achieve.”
Working together
Four ways in.
This is for small businesses that want expert-level help with their digital marketing. Not a junior working through a checklist, and not an agency that hands you to whoever happens to be free that week.
If you are not sure which one you need, that is normal — and it is usually the first thing worth figuring out together.
Focused audits and fixes
Short, intensive engagements that diagnose a specific problem and lay out the clearest path forward. Often with the implementation included, because a diagnosis nobody acts on is just an invoice.
Project work
Larger initiatives with a clear beginning, middle and end: SEO overhauls, site restructuring, content system design, launch support for a new product or brand.
Fractional leadership
Part-time ownership of your search and digital strategy, so somebody is thinking about the whole system while your team executes. Includes mentoring your internal marketers.
Not sure yet
Plenty of the best projects started with “this should be working better than it is.” If that is where you are, a conversation costs nothing and usually clarifies more than a proposal would.
On timelines
How long it takes depends on your niche.
A quiet niche can move quickly. A genuinely competitive one cannot, and anyone promising you otherwise is selling something. Harder niches need a longer investment before the results are worth having — that is not a hedge, it is what happens when everyone above you is also competent and also trying.
I would rather tell you that in the first conversation than three months into a retainer.

If something should be working better than it is.
Send a short note: who you are, what you do, and what you think is not working. If I can help, I will tell you how. If I am not the right fit, I will tell you that too — and usually who is.
