The SEO Coach

Stop Writing Blog Posts That Don’t Convert.

Authority-First WordPress SEO Coaching That Gets Your Business Found on Google, ChatGPT & AI Search.

empowering small business success

Most SEO “experts” are stuck in 2019. They’ll tell you to write three blog posts a week, chase high-volume keywords that don’t convert, and wait 6-12 months for results.

Here’s what they won’t tell you: Google’s algorithm has fundamentally changed. It’s not about keywords anymore, it’s about E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness). And your ideal customers aren’t just using Google. They’re asking ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for recommendations. Your WordPress site probably isn’t showing up in either place. 

I’m Michelle LaRose, and I work with Texas business owners, including Austin tech companies, Houston professional services, Dallas B2B firms, and Southeast Texas businesses, who need to establish real authority in their market, not just rank for random keywords.

Not sure what an SEO Coach is? Check out this about the proven ways an SEO coach can help your business.

Live Implementation: What We Build Together in Your Sessions

Authority-First Strategy & E-E-A-T

We’ll build your authority positioning together, implementing the E-E-A-T signals (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) that Google’s algorithm actually rewards. We’ll analyze your competitors to find gaps you can exploit, uncover what your customers really search for (not what keyword tools suggest), and establish you as the obvious expert. This includes optimizing about pages, adding credentials, implementing schema markup, and creating content that demonstrates genuine expertise. You’ll walk away with a strategic roadmap and changes already live on your site.

WordPress Technical Optimization

We’ll fix your WordPress site together during our sessions, tackling the technical issues actually holding you back. Plugin conflicts affecting SEO, theme speed problems, mobile responsiveness, proper indexing setup, and schema implementation. I’ll show you exactly which WordPress settings matter and which “best practices” you can ignore. Your site will be faster, cleaner, and properly configured for both Google and AI search by session end.

AI Search Optimization

Your customers are asking ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for recommendations right now. We’ll make sure your WordPress site shows up. We’ll implement structured data, optimize content for AI crawlers, and ensure your business information is consistent across the directories that power AI responses. This isn’t future-proofing; this is capturing customers searching through AI tools today, not just Google. Most of your competitors aren’t doing this yet. That’s your advantage.

The SEO Coach helps you set up tracking tools.

Money Page Optimization

We’ll identify and optimize the pages that actually convert visitors into customers. Together, we’ll find high-intent keywords your buyers use when they’re ready to purchase (not high-volume vanity terms), implement them strategically, and optimize for conversion. This is about revenue, not traffic. We’ll make your service pages, product pages, and landing pages work harder so you can stop the “Death by a Thousand Blog Posts” madness and focus on what makes you money.
