SELECTED WORK
Evidence, not theater.
Measured results are labeled. Active work is labeled. Confidential information stays private.
Measured Result01
#1FOR 7 TRACKED TERMS
Safe2Drive
- Constraint
- Search visibility, state-specific accuracy, technical health, pricing intelligence, and enrollment measurement must work as one operating system.
- System built
- A continuing search, content, measurement, and competitive-intelligence system organized around state markets.
- Evidence
- A July 8 to July 15, 2026 report showed number-one positions for seven tracked search terms, including Florida permit test, Virginia defensive driving, Arizona defensive driving, and Las Vegas traffic-school queries.
Active Work02
Wabash Valley Exteriors
- Constraint
- The company depended on a closed website platform and needed ownership of its redirects, measurement, service content, and local growth system.
- System built

- Evidence
- The engagement is active. This summary reports completed infrastructure and current work without claiming unverified traffic, rank, lead, or revenue results.
Active Work03

- System built
- A crawlable local authority platform built around the real inventory, services, history, and relationships of the business.
- Evidence
- The engagement is active. No traffic, lead, rank, or revenue result is presented before it can be supported.
Public-Scope Summary04
The Horror Dome
- Constraint
- Search value can fragment when catalog structure, duplicate routes, structured data, editorial coverage, and conversion paths are treated separately.
- System built
