I'm Connor Cedro, a solo SEO consultant based in Tampa, Florida. SEMrush Certified Agency Partner, MBA from SMU Cox.

I help businesses rank for the keywords their customers actually search not vanity terms that look good in reports. Every strategy I run for a client gets tested on my own site first. That's how I know it works before I bill for it.

Real client results (all verifiable in Semrush):

  • Mavilo Wholesalers — Tampa jewelry brand. 5+ years engagement. From regional brand to 11.5K monthly organic visitors, 2.8K ranking keywords, +73% YoY traffic growth.
  • DripIV Therapy — Multi-location wellness brand (St. Pete + Birmingham MI). 3-year engagement. 4.5K monthly visitors, 2.8K ranking keywords, 213 referring domains earned organically.
  • Mandy Drew Designs — Tampa interior design. 3+ years. Domain Authority climbed from 2 to 15. 500+ monthly visitors, 200+ ranking keywords from zero baseline.
  • Hautech — Fashion tech startup. 2 years. 1.4K monthly visitors, 312 keywords, 614 referring domains built in an emerging category from scratch.

What I actually do:

High-quality content built around real search intent. Clean technical site structure. Keyword strategy that matches how your customers actually search. Local SEO that wins Tampa map pack rankings. Link building through real outreach, not networks.

What I don't do:

Long contracts. Account managers. Pass you to a junior. Run paid ads as my answer to organic problems. Sell you keyword "guarantees" no real SEO can promise.

How I work:

Month-to-month engagements. You stay because the rankings are working, not because you're locked in. Every retainer includes a verifiable keyword-tracking dashboard in Semrush — you see exactly what's moving and why.

Industries I serve well:

Healthcare practices, professional services (legal, financial), retail and ecommerce, interior design and home services, fashion and lifestyle brands, B2B services.

Success stories

Challenge

When I began working with Mavilo Wholesalers in June 2021, their online visibility and organic search performance were underdeveloped compared to their market potential. The goal was to significantly improve site health, grow organic traffic, increase keyword rankings, and strengthen backlink profiles to compete with top jewelry retailers.

Solution

I implemented a full-scale SEO strategy including comprehensive site audits, on-page optimization, keyword research, and content creation tailored to high-intent search terms. I also developed a backlink acquisition plan targeting high-authority domains and fixed technical issues impacting site performance. Regular performance tracking and adjustments were made using SEMrush to ensure consistent growth.

I implemented a full-scale SEO strategy including comprehensive site audits, on-page optimization, keyword research, and content creation tailored to high-intent search terms. I also developed a backlink acquisition plan targeting high-authority domains and fixed technical issues impacting site performance. Regular performance tracking and adjustments were made using SEMrush to ensure consistent growth.

Challenge

Mavilo Wholesalers is a Tampa-based luxury jewelry brand that needed to scale beyond regional visibility and compete nationally for high-intent jewelry buyers. The site had a deep product catalog but limited organic footprint, with ranking concentrated on branded queries. Technical issues across thousands of product pages were limiting crawl efficiency, and content competing in the broader jewelry vertical was sparse.

Solution

I built a long-term SEO strategy across technical foundations, on-page optimization for ecommerce at scale, and content development targeting both transactional and informational jewelry queries. Site architecture was rebuilt for crawl efficiency. Real link earning through editorial outreach and industry placements compounded year over year, supporting both category and product page authority

Result

Over a 5+ year engagement, Mavilo grew to 11,500 monthly organic visitors and 2,800 ranking keywords with +73% year-over-year traffic growth. The brand now competes nationally on search rather than locally, with an organic footprint that continues to compound month after month. All metrics verifiable in Semrush.

Challenge

DripIV Therapy is a multi-location IV therapy and wellness brand with locations in St. Petersburg, FL and Birmingham, MI. When the engagement started, organic traffic was minimal and search visibility was limited to direct branded queries. The brand needed to compete for patient acquisition across two distinct geographic markets while building category authority in the wellness and IV therapy space.

Solution

I combined technical SEO foundations with multi-location local SEO optimization across both markets and built content around patient search intent — IV therapy, hydration, vitamin treatments, and recovery. Real outreach earned referring domains across health, wellness, and medical adjacent publications, supporting both Google authority and trust signals important for a YMYL vertical.

Result

Over 3 years, DripIV grew to 4,500 monthly organic visitors and 2,800 ranking keywords, with 213 referring domains earned organically and Authority Score climbing to 29. The brand now drives real patient inquiries through search across two markets, reducing reliance on paid acquisition. All metrics verifiable in Semrush
