Ranking first on Google
AI tools like ChatGPT are starting to change how people search for businesses, Google ranking is far from dead, but it will be. Most AI still relies on Google, Yelp, and social media to pull recommendations, so if your SEO is weak, you’re less likely to show up there too.
What’s shifting is how people discover and trust businesses—organic video content is now hugely important because it builds authenticity and connection, making you stand out whether someone finds you on Google, AI, or social platforms. To stay ahead, keep your Google Business profile updated, get good reviews, and create consistent, engaging video content that shows off your personality and value. That combination feeds both traditional search and emerging AI tools.
There’s a common misconception that your video person is solely responsible for making content go viral. While the person filming and editing plays a huge role, how much input did your team give before the video was uploaded? It’s a team effort—but “too many cooks in the kitchen” is a real problem, too.
Your job is to take the content creatives produce, hand it off to your marketing team, and let them run with it. If it doesn’t perform, look at the team managing your ad spend and social media strategy. If you’re own team isn’t helping promote, you have a bigger problem.
Everyone needs organic video content—there’s no debate about that. But you also need to be realistic. Consider your market. Selling cars? How many dealerships in your area are doing the exact same thing? Probably most of them. Thinking outside the box leads to great ideas, but success comes when everyone drops their egos and aligns on a clear strategy.
Why organic content should be your first priority - AI technology is an opportunity to be more creative. If you’re in a competitive market, organic content is even more important and will only bring more value to your ad spend. Stop thinking you know what people will react to. You don’t. Be creative, put in effort, and people will react. DON’T FORCE CONTENT.
Businesses live or die by their online presence. Having your business buried on page 4 or 5 of Google is akin to being invisible. SEO doesn’t have to be an overwhelming tangle of algorithms and jargon. With the right blend of technical expertise and creative storytelling, your business can rise to the top—and I have the results to prove it. Creative always wins.
Take Lady Lanes, for example. In just 120 days, I was able to take them from not even existing on Google, to the number one spot for “Houston corporate cleaners and organizers.” How? By marrying the science of SEO with the art of storytelling. They are now ranking first with “Houston Home Organizers.” and, the calls are coming in. How did we do it? They dropped the ego and let the creatives be creative. If you’re in Houston, and looking for a Home Organizer, they show up everywhere.
Many businesses believe SEO is all about stuffing keywords into their website or creating pages overloaded with technical jargon. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW IF YOUR AD REALLY WORKS. It likely sucks because most people don’t like seeing ads.
A key factor is your own team sharing content. If you’re team isn’t sharing your content, you got the wrong team working for you.
Google values relevance, authority, and engagement—things you can’t achieve by sounding robotic. A compelling story resonates with your audience and encourages them to stay longer on your site, click around, and take action. This sends strong signals to search engines, boosting your ranking organically. Every aspect of your business should be creative.
Why SEO Needs More Than Just Keywords
Understand Your Business’s Unique Voice
Every business has a story. My first step is understanding what sets you apart. For Lady Lanes, it was their trustworthiness and adaptability in organizing spaces. For your business, it might be your community roots, innovative solutions, or commitment to quality.Craft Engaging Content
Blog posts, articles, and landing pages are more than just containers for keywords—they’re opportunities to connect with your audience with strong video content. I create content that speaks directly to your potential customers while subtly weaving in SEO best practices.Analyze and Adapt
SEO isn’t a one-and-done job. I consistently monitor performance metrics, adjust strategies, and refine messaging. This keeps your business competitive as Google’s algorithms evolve.Leverage Local SEO
Especially for small businesses, local SEO is critical. By optimizing for location-specific keywords and using platforms like Google My Business effectively, I ensure your business becomes a local authority. Try Nextdoor.com and Etsy. Both platforms are very effective.
Why Creativity Matters in SEO
My focus on creating narratives that people care about separates me from a traditional SEO service. SEO should never feel “technical” to your audience; it should feel seamless, engaging, and authentic. I’ve spent years honing my storytelling ability through video, photography, and written content. This background allows me to approach SEO with a unique perspective that yields measurable results.
Whether you’re a law firm, restaurant, or local boutique, your story deserves to be told—and your audience is waiting to discover it.
