SEO + web development
Most businesses hire a developer and an SEO separately. I do both, so your site is built right from the first line of code, then climbs the searches your customers actually use.
"@type": "LocalBusiness"Services
Pick one service or combine them. Every engagement starts with an audit, so you know what will move the needle before you spend.
Keyword research, on-page optimization, content and link building — managed monthly with ranking reports.
Google Business Profile, citations and service-area pages that put you in the map pack for customers nearby.
Crawl audits, indexing fixes, site structure, schema and Core Web Vitals — the foundation everything else needs.
Help ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews understand, cite and recommend your business.
Responsive WordPress websites with SEO set up from launch. One-time project pricing.
Domain registration, cPanel hosting and business email, with hands-on setup support.
Why work with me
You work directly with me — not an account manager. I started in software development as a programmer, team lead and project manager, founded webdeveloper.com.ph in 2008, and have led SEO for agencies and businesses since.
That mix of development and SEO means your site gets fixed properly, not just “optimized” on the surface.
How it works
1
I review your website, Google Business Profile and competitors, and show you what’s holding your rankings back.
2
Target keywords, pages to build or fix, and a timeline — agreed with you before any work starts.
3
Technical fixes, content, local citations and links, carried out every month.
4
A clear keyword-ranking report each month, so you can see exactly what changed and what’s next.
