SEO run by an operator, not a vendor
SolvingSEO was founded on a simple idea: search should be treated as a growth channel, not a checklist. You work directly with me — technical rigor, editorial craft, and data science aimed at the metrics that actually matter to your business: qualified traffic, pipeline, and revenue.
Revenue-first
Every recommendation ties back to pipeline and revenue, not vanity keyword rankings.
Compounding growth
Durable organic assets that keep paying off long after the engagement ends.
Embedded, not outsourced
No black boxes, no account managers. You get direct access to the person doing the work.
Everything your organic channel needs
One team, four disciplines, working from a single strategy — so nothing falls through the cracks between technical, content, and authority.
Technical SEO
Crawlability, Core Web Vitals, structured data, and site architecture fixes that remove the ceiling on your rankings.
CWV remediationSchema markupCrawl-budget tuning
Content Strategy
Topic clusters and briefs built from real search intent and competitive gaps — written to rank and to convert.
Topic clustersIntent-mapped briefsDecay refreshes
Digital PR & Links
Authority built through earned coverage and relevant placements, not link farms that put your domain at risk.

Local SEO
Google Business Profile optimization and local landing pages that win the map pack in every market you serve.

AI-Powered Workflows
Every discipline above runs through the same loop — audit, improve, measure, repeat — because we treat excellence as a process, not a milestone. Our AI agents run that loop continuously, so improvements compound and reach your bottom line faster.
Custom AI agentsAlways-on iterationCompounding gains
24/7Audit loop
One root cause. Every symptom traces back to it.
Most agencies chase symptoms — a broken link here, a slow page there — while the real issue keeps resurfacing elsewhere. We diagnose the systemic root cause once, and every downstream symptom resolves with it.

Before you order
The questions clients ask before working with me.
What happens after I order the audit?
You get a receipt immediately, and I email you within one business day to collect access (Search Console, analytics, CMS if relevant). You get a quick-wins sheet on day 2 and the full audit within 5 business days: a prioritized 90-day roadmap plus a 1-hour walkthrough call to go through it together.
What does the audit actually cover?
Technical health (speed, crawling, indexing, how well Google renders your JavaScript), content quality against what's already ranking, and how visible your business is inside AI answers like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews. Every finding comes ranked by impact, not as a 200-line checklist.
How does the retainer work?
The Current retainer executes the audit roadmap for you — technical fixes, content, links, and GEO/AEO so AI answers surface you too — with monthly reporting and a strategy call. It runs month-to-month on your card with a 6-month minimum commitment, because SEO compounds and anything shorter wastes your money. Cancel anytime after that. Multi-location or multi-site brands scale into Olympus.
How does payment work?
Checkout happens right on this page through Stripe — card details never touch my servers. The audit is a one-time charge; the retainer bills monthly automatically. Receipts land in your inbox from Stripe.
Who am I actually working with?
Me, Luis Cota — directly. No account manager, no hand-offs. You can verify my track record on the Upwork profile linked above: every review there is public and auditable.
