What I solve
SEO consultant problems I solve in Orange County.
Five situations owners bring to an SEO consultant, and what I do about each.
Advice without action
You got an SEO report once, and nothing changed.
I make the changes myself, so advice becomes pages and profile updates.
Agency distance
You hired an agency and never spoke to the person doing the work.
You email me directly. I plan the work, make the changes and write the report.
Not sure what to fix first
You have a long list of SEO tips and no order.
The free review names the three changes most likely to bring inquiries, in priority order.
Need a wider plan
You want more than a one-off audit.
Ongoing work is month-to-month, with a monthly report and priorities for the next month.
How I work
Why businesses choose to work with me.
You always know who does the work, what it costs and what changed.
Strategy before work
Every project starts with your market, your competitors and your website. You approve the plan and the fee first.
Decisions from data
Search Console, analytics and call and form tracking show what works. Not guesses.
Transparent process
A written scope and a plain monthly report: work done, search changes, inquiries received, next steps.
Focus on business results
The goal is calls, form requests and orders, not traffic for its own sake.

Consultant or agency
What an SEO consultant does for you.
A consultant gives advice. Some also do the work. I do both.
An SEO consultant in Orange County looks at your website, your Google Business Profile and how you show up in search. Then the consultant tells you what to fix first.
I make the changes myself, so the advice becomes pages and profile updates. For larger builds I bring in freelance developers or writers on a project basis and stay responsible.
You can ask any SEO specialist Orange County owners consider the same thing: who will do the work after the sales call? My answer is me.
What is included
What SEO consulting with me covers.
For one website and one business location, Local SEO is $1,500 a month. It includes:
- Five priority pages improved in month one
- Google Business Profile cleanup and upkeep
- AI search optimization included
- A monthly report in plain English
- Direct email with me, usually answered the same business day

Questions
SEO consultant questions.
Who does the SEO work?
I do. Dmytro Verzhykovskyi plans the work, makes the changes and writes the report. For larger builds I bring in freelance developers or writers and stay responsible.
How do you make sure SEO brings real inquiries, not just clicks?
The plan targets searches people make when they are ready to call, book or buy, not every search with traffic. Calls and form requests are tracked, so the monthly report shows inquiries next to rankings.
What budget do I need to start?
Local SEO for one business location is $1,500 a month. Larger SEO work is quoted in writing after the free review. Google Ads: $399 a month, $499 setup, plus ad budget paid to Google.
How quickly can I see results?
The first changes go live in month one. Google Ads can bring inquiries soon after launch. SEO builds over months and depends on your competition and your website.
Do you build strategies for my industry?
Yes. Every plan starts with your market: what your customers search for, who wins those searches today and what rules apply in your industry.
How transparent is your reporting?
Every month you get a written report in plain English: completed work, search changes, inquiries received and next month's priorities. You can ask about any line.
Can you improve my website as well?
Yes. Rankings bring visitors; your website turns them into customers. Page structure, service pages, speed and contact forms are part of the work. Larger redesigns are quoted in writing.
Is there a contract?
A simple month-to-month agreement. Stop with 30 days' written notice after the first month and keep everything that was done.
Can you guarantee rankings?
No. Google decides rankings, and no honest provider can promise a #1 position. You get the agreed work, honest reports and one person responsible.
