The story

From the chemistry lab to page one

I grew up here. Same streets your customers drive, same neighborhoods, same winters. When I tell you I know how Spokane searches, it's not a marketing line — it's home.

I studied chemistry at Whitworth University, and it turns out a B.S. in Chemistry is a strange but perfect training for SEO. Chemistry teaches you one discipline above all: don't guess — test. Form a hypothesis, run the experiment, measure honestly, and let the data overrule your ego.

That's exactly how I've done SEO for over 12 years. While a lot of agencies chase whatever trick is trending, I run controlled experiments on real rankings — change one variable, watch the result, keep what works, cut what doesn't. Google's algorithm changes constantly; the scientific method doesn't.

“SEO isn't magic. It's a lab experiment you run every month — and Spokane is the lab I know best.”

Twelve years in, that approach has put hundreds of local businesses at the top of Google — plumbers, dentists, builders, restaurants. When you work with ClickAlpha you're not handed off to an account manager reading a script. You work with me, and every recommendation comes with the data behind it.

How I work

The scientific method, applied to search

The same rigor I learned at the lab bench, pointed at your rankings.

01 — Hypothesis

Audit & diagnose

We start with data, not opinions: a full audit of your site, your competitors, and how Spokane actually searches for what you do.

02 — Experiment

Change one variable

Focused, deliberate changes — content, structure, authority — instead of shotgun tactics you can't trace back to a result.

03 — Measure

Let the data decide

Monthly rank tracking and honest reports. What works, we scale. What doesn't, we cut — no matter how fashionable it is.
