We officially launched Real People Real SEO in December 2020, but our marketing roots go back decades. What makes us different is simple: we didn’t start as marketing agency guys. We started as business operators who had to figure out how to keep businesses alive, profitable, and growing.
After graduating from California Baptist University on a volleyball scholarship, Stefan joined one of the largest flooring companies in the U.S. His career began as an appointment setter, making him the very first touchpoint between customer and company.
That company scaled from $500K per month to $5M per month, and the driver wasn’t luck, it was qualified leads + systems to handle them. Stefan rose to General Manager, proving that when you get lead flow and process right, growth multiplies.
And in all those years, one truth never changed: without opportunities to do business (OTDBs), without leads, it doesn’t matter how good your team is. You can’t hit record months without a marketing system that keeps the pipeline full. Period.
That experience, combined with mastering Google’s ranking factors and search positioning, gave John the blueprint: crack the code on leads, and you can 10x any business.
When Stefan and John teamed up, they applied their formula at a Phoenix flooring company. The result? Scaling it from $50K per month to $500K per month in under a year.
No gimmicks. No fluff. Just the right leads and systems to turn them into revenue.
And here’s the thing, we also know the difference between marketing services that actually work and what we call “pacifier services.” Pacifier services look nice, make you feel good for a moment, but they don’t produce real opportunities or leads. They’re a distraction, not a driver of growth.
We also know firsthand how difficult it is to keep the lights on while investing in marketing and improving your systems. That’s why we don’t waste time on fluff. Every dollar and every strategy has to tie back to one thing: generating real leads that actually grow your business.
That success became the foundation for Real People Real SEO: an agency built by operators, not theorists. We know the difference between leads that waste time and leads that grow businesses, because we’ve lived it.
Since launching Real People Real SEO, we haven’t just run a marketing agency, we’ve built and scaled multiple companies of our own. The biggest proof point? Arizona Shutter Company.
Getting six positions on the first page of Google doesn’t happen by accident. It takes a proven system, the right tools, and a team that knows how to turn visibility into verified leads and booked appointments.
Here’s the breakdown of services that make it happen:
Your website isn’t a digital brochure, it’s your 24/7 sales rep. We design sites built to convert, not just look pretty. Clean layouts, strong calls-to-action, and contractor-focused messaging turn visitors into customers.
Behind every great design is a system that performs. We build fast, secure, mobile-optimized WordPress websites that Google loves. From technical SEO to plugin setups and schema markup, we make sure your site loads quickly, ranks higher, and actually drives revenue.
SEO is how you win the long game. We optimize your site for the keywords your customers actually search for, build backlinks that Google respects, and get you into multiple top positions on page one. The result: free, consistent traffic that compounds month after month.
Your Google Business Profile is your digital storefront. We optimize and manage it so you show up in the map pack, local searches, and direct calls. Reviews, categories, posts, and photos, every detail matters when it comes to standing out locally.
Nothing builds trust faster than the Google Guaranteed badge. It’s the green checkmark that tells homeowners you’re vetted and trustworthy. We help you get approved, set up, and optimized so those guaranteed leads start rolling in.
Want results fast? Search Ads put you at the very top of Google instantly. We build campaigns that don’t just get clicks, they get phone calls and form fills from ready-to-buy customers.
Why settle for one listing when you can have multiple? Local Ad Extensions expand your presence on the search results page, making your business dominate the screen and pushing competitors further down.
Let customers book straight from Google, no extra clicks, no hoops to jump through. We integrate organic booking systems so people can schedule appointments instantly, turning searches into jobs without friction.
We do that by integrating your CRM calendar with Google Organic Booking API, boosting both your Google Business Profile and Google Guarantee. It sends a strong signal to Google that behind your marketing is a powerful CRM system built to capture and dispatch leads without leaving Google.
Most contractors lose leads because they don’t follow up fast enough. We fix that. Automated text and email follow-ups turn cold leads into warm ones and make sure no opportunity slips through the cracks.
Growth without organization is chaos. Our powerful CRM system keeps every lead, every call, and every appointment in one place. It’s the central hub that ties into automation and even Google Organic Booking, so you can track performance, measure ROI, and scale with confidence knowing nothing falls through the cracks.
Together, these services are how we don’t just get you six positions on Google’s first page, we turn those positions into appointments, real leads, and verified revenue.
If you’ve made it this far, you already know we’re not the typical “marketing agency guys.” We’re operators who’ve scaled our own companies into the millions, and now we use that same formula to help contractors dominate Google and flood their calendars with the right kind of leads.
The only question is: are you ready to make the jump?
