    Local SEO Consultant in Oakland, CA

    Work directly with Andrew Thompson — not an account manager, not a call center. Personalized local SEO strategy, audits, and consulting built around your business, your market, and your goals.

    Marketing Consultant for Oakland Businesses

    Many Oakland businesses don't need a full agency retainer — they need expert guidance. They need someone who can look at their website and Google presence, identify what's holding them back, and build a practical plan to fix it. That's what Andrew provides.

    As a local SEO consultant, Andrew works directly with you to understand your business, audit your online presence, research your market, and build a prioritized strategy. No generic packages, no templates, no handoffs to junior staff. Every recommendation is specific to your situation and your goals.
