Hot Off The Press

On Hot Off The Press with Randy the News Guy, I had a chance to talk about what I've learned helping small businesses get found online over the past decade.

We covered local SEO, what it typically looks like for small service businesses trying to show up on Google and in AI-generated answers, and why getting the basics right often matters more than chasing the latest tactics.

If you're a small business owner curious about what real SEO looks like in practice, this one might be worth a watch.

On E-Coffee with Experts, I joined host Ranmay Rath to talk about manual reporting - and a little bit about the road that led me here.

Growing up as a farm kid in rural South Dakota in the 80s, playing high school basketball, and coming from a family where hard work wasn't optional - those roots shaped how I approach everything, including how I run Tiger29 and serve small business clients today.

We got into why pulling reports by hand, rather than relying entirely on automated dashboards, often leads to a deeper understanding of what's actually happening with a client's SEO. I've found that immersing yourself in the data builds more trust with clients and leads to better decisions - because you tend to catch things automated tools gloss over.

If you grew up in a small town and found your way into the business world, or if you work with small business clients and want to think differently about how you track and communicate results, this one might be worth your time.

On the Founders Future podcast, I joined host Ammar Elm to talk about how Tiger29 got started and what we've learned by focusing exclusively on local SEO for small service businesses.

I shared the story behind launching Tiger29, why we chose to work with small, privately-owned businesses, and how we measure success - mainly through phone calls and leads generated through Google Business Profiles. We also talked about the SEO Power Hour, our paid consultation where we make real website improvements to show clients what's possible before they commit to anything.

If you're a small business owner or fellow agency owner curious about how to build something focused and sustainable, this conversation might give you some useful perspective.

On the Local SEO Tactics podcast, I joined host Jesse Dolan to talk about something I think every small business owner should know - how to spot SEO gimmicks and scams before they cost you.

We walked through what deceptive tactics often look like in proposals, cold emails, and marketing pitches, and what typically separates a legitimate SEO agency from one that's just making big promises. If you've ever received a suspicious email claiming your website has problems, or a proposal that felt too good to be true, this episode might help you know what to look for.

It's a topic I care about - small businesses deserve straight answers about what real SEO looks like.

Local SEO Tactics with Jesse Dolan

On E-Coffee with Experts, I joined host Ranmay Rath to talk about the SEO mistakes I see small service businesses make most often - and what typically makes the difference between SEO that generates real leads and SEO that just looks good on paper.

We got into how to balance short-term wins with long-term strategy, why putting too much budget into website development alone often doesn't move the needle, and what I've found tends to work for local businesses trying to compete on Google.

If you're a small business owner trying to figure out why your SEO isn't generating the phone calls and leads you were hoping for, this conversation might give you some useful perspective.
