Challenge

Sixwatch is a Tampa-based managed IT and cybersecurity provider serving financial firms, RIAs, non-profits, and professional services. "Managed IT Tampa" is one of the most competitive local B2B niches, dominated by national MSP directories and long-established providers. Sixwatch needed to rank for high-intent local and service queries from a site with no organic footprint, in a market where a single ranking win can mean a five-figure annual contract.

Solution

I ran Sixwatch on my Growth program, the $2,500/month tier for DA 20-40 sites, delivered entirely by me. I rebuilt the site around how IT buyers search: siloed pages for help desk, MDR, Microsoft 365 security, backup and disaster recovery, and vCIO advisory, plus industry pages for RIAs. Each month: 6 medium-KD, high-intent keyword clusters; 12 SEO blog posts on buyers' compliance questions; 10 pages re-optimized; 8 white-hat DA 40+ backlinks; titles and meta on 50 pages; 2+ internal links each.

Result

Within the first three months on the Growth tier, organic traffic, ranking keywords, and referring domains all grew 20%+, and qualified inbound leads began arriving through search for service and local queries Sixwatch had never ranked for. The math favors the client: one signed managed IT contract covers the $2,500 monthly retainer many times over, and with 12 posts and 8 authority links landing every month, the pipeline keeps compounding. Every growth metric is verifiable in Semrush.

Challenge

When Mavilo Wholesalers, a Tampa-based jewelry wholesaler, came to me in June 2021, their organic presence was far below their market position. Site health issues, a thin backlink profile, and almost no rankings for high-intent buyer searches meant larger wholesalers and national jewelry retailers owned the results pages. They needed a durable organic channel that could compete at the DA 40+ level: not a one-time cleanup, but a program that compounds month over month.

Solution

I ran Mavilo on my Authority program, the $4,000/month tier built for DA 40+ competition and delivered entirely by me. Each month: 12 high-KD, high-intent keyword clusters mapped to revenue pages; 20 SEO blog posts written and optimized; 20 existing pages re-optimized; titles and meta rewritten across 100 pages; 4+ internal links on every page; and 16 white-hat backlinks from DA 40+ domains. Technical fixes and Semrush position tracking ran throughout; the plan shifted monthly to what ranked.

Result

Over five years of continuous work, Mavilo went from invisible on its core terms to owning them: 11.5K monthly organic visitors, 2,800+ ranking keywords, 1,600+ backlinks, and organic traffic up 73% year over year, all without ad spend. Organic search now drives consistent showroom traffic and online sales, and the engagement has run uninterrupted since June 2021 on the same retainer: five years of compounding growth. All metrics verifiable in Semrush.

Challenge

Mandy Drew Designs is a high-end residential interior design studio that was effectively invisible in organic search. The site had a domain authority of 2, almost no keyword footprint, and every new client came through referrals or Instagram. Service pages were written around internal terminology rather than how homeowners actually search, and completed projects had no indexable pages to compete on style, room, or location queries.

Solution

I ran Mandy Drew on my Starter program, the $1,250/month tier for sites under DA 20, delivered entirely by me. I restructured the site around how homeowners search: by room, style, and location, not internal service names, and gave every completed project its own indexable portfolio page. Each month: 3 low-KD, high-intent keyword clusters; 8 SEO blog posts; 5 pages re-optimized; 4 white-hat DA 40+ links from design and regional home sites; titles and meta on 25 pages; 1+ internal link each.

Result

Over a 3+ year engagement on the Starter tier, organic traffic went from near zero to 500+ monthly visitors, ranking keywords from almost none to 375+ (200+ of them buyer-intent), and domain authority from 2 to 15. In a referral-driven industry, the studio now attracts qualified homeowners through search with zero ad spend, and one signed project covers the $1,250 monthly retainer many times over. All metrics verifiable in Semrush.
