Tracking shows you what it all brings in. ### [SEO](/services/seo/) Crawlability, architecture, Core Web Vitals, structured data, and Rank Math setups that actually compound. ### [GEO](/services/geo/) Get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and the next wave of answer engines. ### [WordPress](/services/wordpress/) Speed, maintenance, migrations, and custom development. Sub-second load times on WordPress. ### [Tracking](/services/tracking/) Server-side tracking, GA4 and conversion APIs. See which channel actually brings customers. --- Why work with me ## You talk to me. I do the work. I’ve spent years doing SEO for WordPress sites and the last two years deep inside GEO. I build my own products in the same space, which means I see the marketing problem from both sides. When I recommend a tool, I’ve usually built one just like it. I’m not an agency. You talk to me. I do the work. The audit, the implementation, the reporting. No account managers, no junior analysts, no hand-offs. - Independent, not an agency - Direct communication with the person doing the work - Audit, implementation, and reporting in one place - SEO, GEO, and WordPress in one stack [Book a free 30-min call](/contact/) ![video-background-e1776258340649.jpg](https://phillipstemann.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/video-background-e1776258340649.jpg) --- Things I’ve built ## I build the tools I wish existed as a consultant.
