Sometimes I feel like there isn't another seo expert near me, like they're all in Minneapolis and St. Paul, but that's not true. The countryside is home to tons of talented freelance marketing agencies. In the age of remote work, especially for digital marketing, we're everywhere. Here I am, a freelance SEO consultant in Southern Minnesota. If you want to rank higher in Google search results, my SEO agency can come up with the marketing strategy for your organic search.
But who am I and what's my credibility?
I offer my strengths as an SEO professional and researcher in understanding context, learning, and getting things done. And with a good attitude! My professional background in academia and secretarial work guarantees you’ll receive thorough and punctual work throughout your advertising campaign.
I taught college classes, including freshman composition classes, for several years before switching to administrative work at my local Catholic church, and now I've struck out on my own as a freelance writer and editor.

How'd I Find Myself as a Freelance SEO Consultant in Southern Minnesota, Surrounded by the Farmlands?
The rolling hills of Southern Minnesota are the home of hundreds of small businesses, each of which can have a good rank in search engine results. Local business SEO is a vital key to SEO marketing services.
But I didn't start here. I've lived in Southern Indiana, Texas, and New Jersey.
To me, it's always been about the pursuit of knowledge, understanding context, and figuring out how things work -- and why.
My first career was in academia. I love information. Period. I have a PhD in Classics and am an expert on obscure Latin poetry about hunting. A seemingly far experience from search engine optimization!
But a good content strategy is all about learning: learning what your target audience wants to learn through the internet. What keywords they're using to find what they need.
Still, I didn't go straight from academia to online advertising.
I worked as a secretary at my local Catholic church, and then as a secretary for a financial advisor. While there, I even got my license for life & health insurance and passed the Series 65. (Again, research, studying, these are my strengths).
But something was missing. I needed the freedom to take care of my family and the ability to continue to grow in my skills and knowledge on subjects that spoke to me and made me feel like I was contributing to God's kingdom.
I wanted to work for the Church without working for a church.
And so I rejected the secular companies and discerned a path that combined my skills in research and writing, my love for helping others grow through ethical lead generation, and my comfort with technology: search engine optimization.
Search Engine Optimization services include Google Analytics reporting, link building, backlink strategy, keyword research, competition research, user experience, graphic design, and writing quality content for search engines and users both.
Research and writing are sort of my things. It's a background different from any other SEO consultant near me.

What Else Can a Freelance SEO Consultant in Southern Minnesota Do For You?
Marketing specialists offer many opportunities for your business to succeed, beyond SEO services. Many experts offer social media marketing, email marketing services, website design, PPC services, reputation management, and more.
To be frank, I don't do everything. Not anymore. It's not the most efficient use of my company's time. But certain writing and editing services I can add on.
I bring all my experience as a professor, a secretary, and a licensed insurance agent to your projects with one goal in mind: growing your business.
As an SEO expert, first and foremost, I focus on search engine optimization. I believe that whatever you invest in your website is the most effective way to advertise your business in this era. Your business owns more than if they invested in a social media platform.
But once we work on local search optimization, web design, and SEO strategy, we can also work together on other content and marketing services. Email marketing and newsletters are an important part of any company.
While I was discerning my specialty in the digital marketing space, I've had many clients and training in other areas of copywriting.
I am also certified in:
In addition to my marketing agency, I'm a former editor at CatholicReads.com and am part of the Catholic Writers Guild and the St. Joseph Business Guild. I'm verified as a copywriter with AWAI (American Writers & Artists Institute).

What Do I Do When I'm Not Working as a Freelance SEO Consultant?
At the end of the day, there are only two real vocations: being married or being in a religious order. I'm the former, and taking care of my family is my #1 priority. It's not my 'brand.' You won't find pictures of my kid on social media. But it's real life.
Together, we take care of our animals & our property, buy each other kitchen items for Christmas every year, play video games, write fiction, and read.
The reality is: this priority actually makes me a boutique digital marketer. I don't just say that as a marketing gimmick. I'm the business owner, the account manager, the web developer, and the SEO professional for a limited number of clients.
