I ask people to be visible in public. It seemed fair to do the uncomfortable version myself first.

PEO, in plain words
SEO was built for websites. PEO is for the person behind them, and posting content is only one small part of it. Flip the panel to see the difference a client notices.

PEO in my own words, two short recordings

More than twelve years of this, for more than 1,200 people. Founders, consultants, surgeons, academics, operators. People whose work is already good and whose name does not travel.
I have written 21 books, contributed to HuffPost since 2016, and been published twice in The New York Times. That matters here for one reason only: I am not selling you a service I have never had to perform on myself.
An agency sells you output, a number of posts a month. A consultant decides what you are known for, then makes the internet agree. Those are different jobs and only one of them survives you cancelling the retainer.
In practice that means one position you can defend, a LinkedIn presence that sounds like you rather than a template, search results you are not embarrassed by, and enough published proof that anyone checking you up finds an answer instead of a gap.
Recorded on camera, in my own words
You are about to trust someone with your name, so hear how I think first. Pick any line and the recording plays beside it, in the shape I filmed it.
Google should have one centre point where it can see all the information, and nothing other than a personal website can do this.
In my words, from the recordingEvery correction above is a piece of work I can do on your name.
Free, 60 seconds, no sign-up
Look yourself up the way a client would, tick what is true today, and see the first thing I would fix. It takes a minute and nothing is saved.
1 Type your name, then look yourself up the way a client would.
Each opens in a new tab with your name already typed in.
3 Your result
Tick the ones that are true. Be honest, nobody else sees this.
Start with your own website on your name. It is the one page you fully control and the one every other mention can point back to.
Opens your email with your score written in. Nothing is saved on this page.
Nothing in the left frame was less capable. Same head, same work rate, most of the same opinions. What he did not have was a single reason for anyone to have heard of him.
That gap is not talent, and it does not close on its own. Somebody has to decide what you are known for, then put it in front of the people who decide things.
I did it for my own name first, before I charged anyone to do it for theirs.

Social media is where people meet you, but it is one room of the house, not the house. I pick one platform, usually LinkedIn for founders, and make it work properly, then make sure Google and AI tools tell the same story when someone checks your name after reading your post.
Yes, and usually before you notice it. Investors, hiring boards and clients look you up before they reply to you. When what they find is clear and consistent, the conversation starts warm, and when they find nothing, you start from zero every time.
Start with one clear line about what you do and for whom, and repeat it everywhere your name appears. Then this is how I grow your personal brand: one platform worked consistently, a personal website at the centre, press and podcasts where your buyers already read and listen, and your own words in every first draft. AI helps me with research and editing; the thinking stays yours.
The ones I see most are telling a different story on every platform, living on one platform and calling it a brand, and letting a tool write in your name. People spot the last one fastest, because a post that could have come from anyone does not make anyone remember you.
I work in three pillars: one social platform you actually show up on, search visibility on Google and in AI answers, and press that someone else wrote about you. Under all three sits a personal website, because it is the one page you control and every other source can point back to it.
Search your own name, then ask ChatGPT or Perplexity who the best people in your field are. If the right things show up in both, it is working. After that I look at what actually pays: messages from the right people, invitations you did not chase, and calls where the other person already knows your story.
Because people check you before they call you. By the time someone books time with you, they have seen your website, your LinkedIn and whatever Google shows them. Personal branding decides what they find, so the call confirms what the internet already told them instead of starting from nothing.

Here is who I have built for, what they said, where the work was published and what it looks like on Google today. Every page is public and every claim links to its source.
Being good at your work is half the job.
Getting seen is the other half.
