Why Solo Consulting

Solo Consultant.
vs. Agency. vs. In-House.

Three ways Tampa businesses get SEO done. Each model has tradeoffs. Here's the honest comparison so you can pick what fits your business stage and budget.

Factor	Solo Consultant (what you get here)	Tampa SEO Agency	In-House Hire
Monthly cost	$1,000 to $4,000	$3,000 to $15,000	$5,000 to $9,000 (salary)
Who does the work	I do, personally	Junior team, contractors	One person, finding their way
Years of experience	5+ years senior SEO	Mixed (1 to 10 years)	Depends on hire
Direct access	Yes, every call	No, through account manager	Yes (they work for you)
Tools and software	Included (SEMrush, etc.)	Included	$400 to $800 per month extra
Hiring time	15 minute call, start week 1	2 to 4 weeks proposal cycle	2 to 6 months to hire and train
Contract length	Month-to-month	6 to 12 month minimum	Salary commitment
Risk if it doesn't work	Cancel anytime, low downside	Locked in, hard to exit	Termination is messy
Best for	Most Tampa SMBs under $5M revenue	Enterprise, high content volume	Companies above $10M revenue

The honest read: for Tampa businesses under $5M annual revenue, a senior solo consultant produces the best return per dollar. Above $10M, an in-house hire or specialized agency often makes more sense. The middle ground at $5M to $10M is where most businesses get the best results from a hybrid approach with a senior consultant plus specialized contractors.

Real SEMrush Audits

Site speed, indexing, Core Web Vitals, on-page issues, backlink toxicity, and competitor gaps — every audit reviewed manually using SEMrush, the same tool I use to manage 10K+ ranking keywords across active client accounts.

Proof — Semrush Certified Agency Partner. Same tool I use to track 10K+ client keywords. Audit results are exportable and verifiable.

Keywords That Convert

High-intent terms your buyers are actually searching for — not vanity keywords with no commercial pull. Mapped to specific service pages, with realistic difficulty and traffic estimates so you know what's worth chasing.

Proof — Mandy Drew Designs ranked for 200+ buyer-intent design keywords from a standing zero. Mavilo Wholesalers ranks for 2,800+ in jewelry.

SEO-optimized blog posts, service pages, and topic clusters written specifically for your industry and your buyers — not outsourced overseas, not AI-spun, not templated. Real strategy, real expertise.

Proof — Mavilo's organic content drives 11.5K monthly visitors. I write or oversee every piece. No content mills, no overseas writers.

Local SEO Domination

Google Business Profile optimization, citation cleanup, local landing pages, review velocity, and Map Pack strategy. Tampa Bay specialty — but proven across 8+ industries nationwide.

Proof — connorcedro.com ranks #5 for "SEO tips Tampa" against established Tampa agencies. Verifiable in any rank tracker.

Technical SEO + Speed

Page speed, mobile UX, structured data, internal linking architecture, crawl budget, and Core Web Vitals. The infrastructure work most agencies skip because it doesn't sell as well as content. For Tampa businesses specifically, see Tampa website optimization for the full technical scope.

Proof — connorcedro.com runs at 100% Semrush site health. The same technical audit I'd run on yours.

Authority + Link Building

High-quality backlinks from real publications, industry sites, and local partners — earned through digital PR and outreach, not bought from spammy networks. Slow, deliberate, durable.

Proof — DripIV grew to 213 referring domains across two states. Hautech earned 614 from category-defining content.

Every plan includes monthly reporting, transparent dashboards, and direct access to me — not an account manager.

The Process

What Happens
After You Book.

No mystery, no inflated discovery phase. Here's what the first 90 days look like, week by week.

Week 1

Discovery + Audit

15-minute kickoff call. I run a full SEMrush audit on your site, pull competitor data, and identify the top 3 to 5 issues holding back rankings. You get a working document with priorities ranked by impact.

Weeks 2 to 4

Foundation Work

Technical fixes, on-page SEO optimization, keyword cluster planning, internal linking architecture. The foundation work that has to be right before content and links scale. Your first 2 to 3 blog posts publish.

Months 2 to 3

Content Compounds

Content production scales to your tier's monthly volume. Link building campaigns start. Monthly report shows ranking improvements, traffic trends, and what comes next. You should see meaningful position movement by month 3.

Month 4+

Authority Builds

By month 4, the content engine is running. Topical authority compounds. New keywords surface in search results. Traffic and leads follow rankings by 30 to 60 days. We adjust strategy based on real data, not guesses.

The honest timeline: Real SEO results take 3 to 6 months minimum to show in rankings. Traffic and leads typically follow 1 to 2 months after rankings improve. Competitive Tampa markets like personal injury law, real estate, or medical take 6 to 12 months for significant gains. Anyone promising faster results is either selling you something risky or selling you something they cannot deliver.

Industries Served

Tampa SEO Services
by Industry.

I work with eight specific industries in Tampa. Industry context matters in SEO. The keyword research, competitor analysis, and content strategy for a Tampa law firm look nothing like the work for a Tampa jeweler. Specialization beats generalist work every time.

Tampa Law Firms

Tampa Medical Practices

Tampa Realtors

Tampa Jewelers

Tampa Wealth Managers

Tampa Interior Designers

Tampa Insurance Agencies

Tampa Personal Trainers

Not in one of these industries? I still take selective engagements outside these specializations when there is genuine market fit. Book a 15-minute call and we will figure out if it makes sense.

Common Questions

Questions
Before You Book.

How long does it take to see results?

Most clients see meaningful ranking movement within 3 to 6 months. Traffic and lead volume typically follow 1 to 2 months after rankings improve. Competitive markets like personal injury law or Tampa real estate take longer — plan for 6 to 12 months for significant gains. The results compound over time: the work done in month 3 is still working in month 18.

Do you require long-term contracts?

No. Every engagement is month-to-month. You stay because the work is producing results, not because you're locked in. That said, SEO takes time to compound — clients who see the strongest outcomes are those who commit to a consistent strategy for at least 6 months.

How is this different from an SEO agency?

You work directly with Connor — not an account manager who relays information to a team you never meet. Strategy, execution, and reporting are handled by one person who understands your business. No junior teams, no handoffs, no templated approaches. The tradeoff is a focused client roster: this only works at a certain scale, which is why the onboarding process is selective.

What does the free audit include?

A 15-minute call where I pull your actual SEMrush data live — current rankings, keyword gaps, technical issues, and what your top competitors are doing that you aren't. You leave with a clear picture of where you stand and what a realistic path to page one looks like. No pitch deck, no sales pressure.

What if the SEO work doesn't produce results?

If, after 90 days of consistent work, the data doesn't show meaningful ranking improvement on target keywords and traffic isn't trending up, we have an honest conversation about why. Sometimes the issue is the strategy, in which case we adjust. Sometimes the issue is the market or competitive landscape — and the right answer might be that SEO isn't the highest-leverage channel for the business. Either way, there's no contract holding you to keep paying. You stop when the work isn't producing.

What's the real difference between the $1,000 and $4,000 plans?

The $1,000 Starter plan is foundational SEO for businesses just starting to invest seriously — 8 blog posts a month, 3 keyword clusters, on-page optimization. It builds momentum but won't transform a business by itself. The $4,000 Authority plan is for businesses ready to dominate their vertical — 20 blog posts, 8 keyword clusters, full internal linking systems, advanced strategy work. The honest answer: if you're early in SEO investment, start with Starter and grow as the work proves itself. If you're an established business with a real competitive market, Authority is where meaningful market-share gains happen.
