Meet Andrew Thompson, Founder of Thompson-SEO-Experts
An Oakland local SEO strategist who helps service businesses get found in Google Search and Maps, earn trust with reviews, convert more website visitors, and respond to leads faster. Since 2018, clients have worked directly with Andrew — not an anonymous agency or overseas call center.
Why I Approach Marketing Differently
I'm Andrew Thompson. I founded Thompson-SEO-Experts in 2018 to help local service businesses in Oakland get found online and turn that visibility into real, measurable results — calls, bookings, and revenue.
My background is in operations, not just marketing. That shaped how I think about the work. A lead is only valuable if someone responds to it. Website traffic only matters if it converts into a phone call or an inquiry. A missed call needs follow-up, not just a voicemail box. And a customer relationship shouldn't end after the first job — it should continue with reviews, reactivation, and repeat business.
Too many businesses pay for marketing that looks good on a dashboard but doesn't connect to what actually matters: did the phone ring, did the job get booked, did the customer come back. I focus on the entire path — from the first Google search to the completed service, the customer review, and the next booking.
Why I Started Thompson-SEO-Experts
I founded this company because most local businesses manage their marketing in pieces — SEO here, a website there, reviews somewhere else, lead response as an afterthought. Those pieces rarely work together, and that's where customers slip through the cracks.
I work with contractors, home-service businesses, automotive companies, healthcare providers, and other local service businesses — the companies that win or lose based on whether the phone rings.
What I Do
Hands-on experience across local SEO, websites, reputation management, lead generation, and marketing automation.
Tools I work with include GA4, Google Search Console, Looker Studio, GoHighLevel, CallRail, Zapier, and AI-powered chat and voice platforms.
Documented Client Results
Results from previous campaigns. Individual results vary based on market, competition, budget, starting position, and implementation.
Sin-Mex Auto Body grew from 20 to 75 Google reviews and recorded approximately $812,000 in attributed revenue through our review and reputation system.
Julian Tree Care reduced its cost per lead from approximately $330 to $121 — a reduction of about 64% — after implementing our local search and lead-response system.
An ABA therapy practice increased organic traffic by approximately 225% through technical content improvements and a focused local SEO strategy.
These examples reflect documented client results and are not a guarantee of future performance. Individual results vary.
How I Work With Clients
Direct communication, practical recommendations, and measurable implementation. No scripts, no handoffs.
Understand the business and revenue goals
We start with what actually drives revenue — which services, which customers, and which calls turn into booked jobs.
Audit the current website and Google presence
A full review of your website, Google Business Profile, local rankings, reviews, and lead-response process.
Identify visibility and conversion gaps
We pinpoint where you're losing customers — in search, on your website, and after the first call.
Build a prioritized strategy
A practical plan focused on the changes that will move the needle first, not a generic checklist.
