Ain’t Room for Two: One Business Per Trade, Per City
Plenty of marketers sign up every business in a trade in town and sell each of them the same “near me” keywords. Somebody’s losing that fight, and it’s usually the one paying. I’ve done this since 1999, and I take one business per trade per city.
One Business Per Trade. One City. Period.
I’m often out in the field, so texting is the quickest way to reach me.
Is Your City Open?
One business per trade per city. Tell me where you work and your trade, and I’ll let you know if your city is still open.
Sound familiar?

I’ve Been Fixing This Since 1999
Over 30 years in business: websites, search and small business tech. I’ve watched good people get burned by retainers, jargon and fixes that never stuck. I work with you directly, in plain words, and I tell you what I’d do if it were mine.
Here’s the fix

No Fix on the Shelf? I’ll Build One.
Some problems don’t have an off-the-shelf plugin or a template. That’s where I do my best work. Tell me what’s going on and I’ll build the fix that fits. Ask for a quote.

The Agency Way
- Big monthly fees and little to show for it
- Reports full of jargon, no new calls

- Advice from “experts” who can’t explain how search works
The Stealth Organic Way
- One business per trade per city, period
- Plain-language updates you can understand
- Organic work that keeps building over time
- A real person who answers your texts
Why Exclusivity Matters
If your marketing partner also works for your competitors, who are they really helping you beat? I’ve met too many good businesses that were talked into expensive marketing by people with no clue how search works.

Proof From the Field
At a car dealership, the marketing team fought me on putting “Contact Us” in the main menu. I added it anyway. Within a month, engagement on the Contact Us page rose 66%.
Small, smart changes add up when you understand how buyers move through a website.
Is This a Fit?
A Great Fit
- You want your site or profiles optimized so buyers can find you
- You can meet weekly and share account access

Probably Not the Right Fit
- Too busy for weekly check-ins or to share what I need
- Expecting results without investing
- Not able to pay market rate

Frequently Asked Questions
What is exclusive organic search?
I work with only one business per trade per city on organic SEO, GEO and voice search. While your agreement is active, I won't take on another business in your trade in that city.
Will you work for my competitors?
No. While your yearly agreement is active and current, I won't work for another business in your trade in your city.
How long does exclusivity last?
Exclusivity runs on a one-year agreement. Your city stays yours for your trade as long as your yearly agreement is active and current. If the agreement is not renewed or payments stop, the city opens to another business in your trade.
How do I know if my city is open?
Text me or use the Connect With ME page and name your city and your trade. I'll tell you if it's still available.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No. No honest provider can promise rankings or timelines. I build clear, trustworthy content and structure so people, search engines and AI tools can understand and find your business.
Is there a discount for more than one city?
Yes. Each extra city is 15% off the labor, so it is $847.45 per month on the same 1-year agreement. One X Super account covers all of your cities.
How much does exclusive SEO cost?
It is $1,097 per month for one city on a 1-year agreement, including your own X Super account in your name. Each extra city is $847.45 per month. All sales are final.
What isn't included?
Your own X Super account is included, and it stays in your name. Other outside costs are paid directly by the client, including Google Ads or other paid ad campaigns and ad spend, third-party plugins, software and other third-party fees.
Can I pay for the year up front?
Yes. Pay for the year up front and get 12 months for the price of 10: $10,970 for one city, plus $8,474.50 for each extra city. For example, Athens, Madison and Huntsville come to $27,919 for the year paid up front, compared with $2,791.90 a month.
Is exclusivity per trade?
