My Story

The name on this business belongs to my mother.

Donna Lou was my mother. She approached every problem the same way — not with panic, not with shortcuts, but with the kind of quiet, methodical thinking that made the people around her believe a solution was always there if you were willing to look hard enough for it. She didn't leave problems where she found them.

I named this company after her because that's the standard I hold myself to. When a med-spa owner comes to me unable to understand why a clinic with worse reviews keeps outranking them for "Botox near me," I don't send a generic audit and a package recommendation. I sit with the actual problem until I understand it — then I fix it.

I focus entirely on local SEO because that's where the work is specific enough to actually move the needle. I work exclusively with med-spas and aesthetic clinics — not because I can't do local SEO for other businesses, but because niche expertise is the only thing that moves the needle in a competitive category. I don't run ads. I don't build websites. I don't do social media. I do one thing and I do it well.

Who I'm not the right fit for

I'd rather tell you this upfront than take your money and waste your time.

  • Service businesses outside aesthetics. I work exclusively with med-spas, aesthetic clinics, and cosmetic injectors. A plumber, dentist, or HVAC contractor would not get value from my approach — I don't know their category well enough to do the work properly.
  • Multi-location chains or franchises. I work with single-location or small-territory practices where local SEO is the primary growth lever.
  • Anyone expecting rankings to move in 30 days. Local SEO takes 60–120 days to show meaningful movement. If you need bookings next week, run ads.
  • Anyone who wants to hand it over and forget it. I'll do the work, but I'll need your input on treatment details, before/after photos, and review strategy. It's collaborative.

My Approach

How I work

Three stages. No black boxes. You'll know exactly what I'm doing and why at every step.

01

Audit

I review your Google Business Profile category and completeness, citation consistency across general and aesthetic-specific directories (RealSelf, Healthgrades, Zocdoc), treatment-level keyword gaps, and your top 3 med-spa competitors in the Map Pack. You get a written report with every gap ranked by impact.

02

Strategy

You get a prioritized action plan: what to fix this week, what to build over the next 90 days, and what to expect at each milestone. No surprises, no vague timelines.

03

Execute & Report

I implement the changes, track the metrics that actually matter (Map Pack position, GBP views, call clicks), and send a plain-English report every week. No jargon, no mystery.
