Before you pay me a cent, I put in writing exactly what "results" means for your business: the list of work I'll ship in your first 30 days. If I miss one item, you get your first month back.
After SEO
Before SEOSound familiar?
If you run a small business, you may recognize one of these four. SEO is detailed work done every month, and the hard part is finding the time while you run a business.
SEO (search engine optimization) is the work that gets Google to show your business when people search for what you sell. Its job is to put you in front of people who are already looking. Your website, your reviews and your phone manner do the convincing, which is why I look at all three. The long version is in my complete SEO guide for small businesses.
Below is what I do, what it costs and what it did for real clients, with the date each result was true.
Every agency says something different, and pricing is all over the map. You want someone to tell you what actually works.
Most quotes look like they were written for companies ten times your size.
Ads work until the budget runs out. You want leads that don't vanish with the budget.
No log of the work, a report full of traffic charts, and no idea whether the phone rang more.
My agency was a Google Actívate success story.
I didn't learn SEO from a blog. I've worked in digital marketing for 17 years, 15 of them running my own agency. Google featured that agency, KREAKTIVE, in a Google Actívate story (screenshot, Oct 2026) after I took their Actívate digital marketing course. I moved to Colorado Springs in 2023 and brought KREAKTIVE with me (it operated as Digital Marketing Services until 2026). Today I use the same skills to get Colorado small businesses found on Google and AI search.
You work directly with me, not an account manager or a junior staffer. The person who wins your business is the person who does the work.
What clients say about working with me
"Kreative is knowledgeable, professional, and thorough with their marketing strategies. Kris' support with our website and digital marketing has strengthened our branding as a company and generates solid organic leads! Thanks Kreative!"
"Working with Kreaktive for our marketing was our best choice! Kris is attentive and very creative to our company's ever changing dynamics. Our digital visibility has skyrocketed!"
"The best SEO especialist and most honest man i ever met. I recommend it to everyone that wants to improve leads on their websites. 100% trust on him."
"I cannot recommend Kreaktive highly enough!! Working with them has been an absolute game-changer. Their marketing strategies are both creative and effective. It feels like I've hired my own full-time marketing person, but even better. They did our branding and website and SEO, and I don't think I could have found a better option. They have an amazing eye for detail and a unique ability to turn my crazy ideas into reality and actually get my website found. You can't go wrong with Kreaktive and I would highly recommend them to anyone!!"
"Kristian listened to me from the beginning and provided a detailed plan for social media, emails, and my website. He lets you give feedback and works with your ideas, but if something doesn't fit, he tells you why. Thanks to his work, my website receives much more traffic, social media engagement is up, and emails perform much better than before. You can communicate with him in English or Spanish, which is very helpful. I highly recommend Kristian from Kreaktive!"
"Kristian created the website for our business, and over 70% of our customers come to us through it. He's also given us a lot of ideas and advice for other areas of our business. He's definitely been a huge asset, and we highly recommend him."
Proof, not promises
Six results where I did the SEO work, each with the date it was true. Each card links to the full case study.
Who did what: on Bristlin, I set the SEO strategy and my development partner built the site. Guitar Academy was a KREAKTIVE project, my agency in Spain. See all case studies
Two plans. Which one you need depends on your competitors, not on how much I'd like to sell you.
Flat monthly price
That's just $50/day
Claim your market before your competitors wake up.
Ideal For You If
Fits when
Your competitors are NOT doing SEO
When someone searches for what you do, they see outdated websites, slow-loading pages, and businesses that have not published content in years. This is a land grab. Search Visibility claims the territory before they wake up.
Flat monthly price
That's just $93/day
Outpace competitors who are already investing in SEO
Ideal For You If
Fits when
Your competitors ARE doing SEO
Your top competitors are publishing content and working on their SEO every month. Matching their effort keeps you stuck at positions 6 through 10. To displace them, you need to outpace, not just compete.
Eight steps, in the order I do them.
Figure out how you make money
Before touching your website: which jobs are profitable? Which calls do you want more of? How do people find you now? If I don't know what a good lead looks like, SEO turns into guesswork.
Make sure leads can be tracked
GA4 and Search Console, plus form tracking and basic lead tracking events, so we can see which enquiries came from Google. If I can't see leads turning into money, everything else is noise.
Fix what quietly costs you leads
Pages that load too slow, confusing service descriptions, missing trust signals, contact info buried or inconsistent. A small fix here often produces more revenue than months of "content."
Go after searches that mean business
Emergency and high-intent searches, location-specific searches, problem-based searches. I'd rather rank for 10 keywords that produce calls than 1,000 that don't.
Build pages people actually want to read
Service pages that answer real buyer questions, location pages that prove you're actually local, content that reduces doubt and gets the phone ringing.
Make Google trust you more
Cleaning up citations, strengthening your Google Business Profile, earning real links and mentions. No tricks, shortcuts or spam.
Watch what turns into money
Rankings get checked and traffic gets monitored, but calls and booked jobs matter most. If something brings the wrong leads, I adjust. If something works, I double down.
Straight talk
No fluff reports. "This page is working, let's expand it." "These calls aren't closing, intake needs fixing." "This keyword looks good but isn't worth the effort." If something isn't paying off, I say it.
Before you hire anyone
Before you sign with anyone, including me, watch for these:
No one controls Google's algorithm. Anyone promising specific positions is either lying or using shortcuts that will get your site penalized. Ask what happens when that promise "fails." Usually nothing, because the promise was never real.
Ask: "Show me a client who went from X leads to Y leads." If they pivot to traffic charts instead of revenue numbers, they're hiding something. Traffic that doesn't convert is just noise.
If your monthly report is a PDF full of jargon with no clear explanation of what changed and why, you're paying for a black box. You deserve to understand every dollar spent.
Ask directly: "How do you build backlinks?" If the answer is vague or involves buying link packages, you're one Google update away from disaster. Cheap links are expensive when Google catches them.
Pick your focus
Different businesses need different SEO. These two questions help you pick.
Search Google for what you offer in your city. Do you show up in the map results? If not, you need:
Google Maps, local search, service area businesses: Google Business Profile optimization, local citations and review work.
Explore Local SEOSearch for your products on Google. Are shoppers finding you or your competitor? If not, you need:
Product pages and category pages.
Explore E-commerce SEOBoth are part of every plan above: speed, mobile layout, crawlability and schema markup (code that tells Google what you do and where), plus citations and real links and mentions. There is no separate package to buy.
If you're in Colorado Springs, my Colorado Springs SEO page covers local work in more detail.
What I use
I pay for Semrush, Ahrefs and Local Falcon, and I confirm every ranking move in Google Search Console before I quote a number to you. No affiliate deals with any of them.
Common questions
Quick answers to help you decide.
Every month follows the same cycle. New articles or local pages go live, site improvements are shipped and logged, I work on your Google Business Profile and reviews, I earn real links and mentions (no spam), and I keep watch on your competitors. Then you get a report against your launch baseline showing what moved and what comes next. Every task also goes in a shared worklog, so you never have to ask what you're paying for.
It is when the work brings in customers you can count. Ads stop bringing leads the day you stop paying; pages you own keep working. Best Construction Brands replaced $10,000 a month in magazine ads with Google leads in 2024, and I also show how their rankings slipped after my work paused in July 2025, because both are true. The budget math is on my SEO pricing page.
Ask three questions. First: can they show real client results with names and dates you can check? Second: how long is the contract? My plans have a 3-month minimum, then run monthly, because Google takes time to start ranking a site. Third: will you work with the person doing the work, or get handed to a junior? With me, the person doing the strategy is the person you talk to.
Yes. I moved to Colorado Springs in 2023 and brought KREAKTIVE here (it operated as Digital Marketing Services until 2026), and Best Construction Brands and Sealwise Epoxy are both Colorado Springs companies. I also work with businesses nationally. For local detail, see my Colorado Springs SEO page.
You've seen the process, the plans and the proof. If you still have questions, ask me on a call.
