Technical SEO Audits
I'll dig into your site's crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, architecture, and technical debt to find the stuff that's quietly holding your rankings back.
SEO Consultant // Olney, MD
Search has changed. Your strategy should too.
I'm Stanford Swanson. I've spent 10+ years in SEO and digital marketing, working with dozens of brands. Right now I manage $4M+ a year in ad spend and lead growth marketing. I also focus heavily on the AI side of search that most consultants haven't caught up to yet.
How I Can Help
I don't do cookie-cutter SEO. Every project starts with understanding your business and figuring out what's actually going to move the needle for you.
Keyword Research & Strategy
I look for the high-intent keywords your competitors aren't targeting yet. It's not just about search volume. It's about finding the terms that actually lead to customers.
On-Page & Content Optimization
Title tags, meta descriptions, content structure, internal linking. I go page by page and make sure everything is set up to rank well and convert visitors into customers.
Link Building & Off-Page SEO
White-hat link building that actually moves domain authority. I focus on quality over quantity and I won't touch anything that could put your site at risk.
Key Differentiator
AI-Powered SEO & GEO
People aren't just searching on Google anymore. They're asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews. I optimize your content so it shows up in those answers too, not just traditional search results.
Paid Search & Marketing
Google Ads, programmatic advertising, and paid social. I manage paid campaigns with the same level of attention I give to organic, so you're getting the most out of every dollar.
A little about me
I've been doing this for over 10 years. I've directed SEO strategy at a digital agency, managed 40 newspaper websites and monetized 16 million monthly users on the supply side at one of the largest media companies in the country, and led SEO and growth marketing at a national healthcare staffing company where I currently manage $4M+ annually in ad spend.
Along the way I've worked with dozens of brands across travel, healthcare, energy, and aviation. Always in competitive markets where rankings directly translate to revenue. That experience shapes how I approach every new project.
The other thing that sets me apart: I take AI seriously. Search is changing fast, and I don't rely on playbooks from five years ago. I use modern AI tools and generative engine optimization in my work so your business shows up wherever people are searching, whether that's Google, ChatGPT, or something new.
