How I Became a SEO Expert

And How I Help Local Businesses Win Online

SEO Expert Blog

Search engine optimization isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the backbone of any serious digital strategy. When I first dove into SEO, I was just like many business owners trying to figure out how to drive more traffic to a website. Fast forward to today, and I’ve turned that curiosity into a refined expertise that’s helped dozens of local businesses across the country climb the search rankings, dominate their niche, and increase revenue—organically.

My name is Tommy Green, but you might know me as @CEOTommyG. I’m the founder of Flash First Media, and if you’re a local business owner trying to figure out how to get found online, this post is for you.

A Journey from Trial-and-Error to SEO Mastery

I didn’t start with a textbook or certification—I started by building my own businesses. From eCommerce to service-based startups, I quickly learned that the best-looking website means nothing if no one sees it. So, I got to work: reading, testing, and implementing SEO strategies across multiple platforms. I became obsessed with figuring out how Google really works.

Over time, the rankings started improving. The phone calls came in. Customers started showing up from organic searches, not ads. That’s when I realized SEO wasn’t just part of the equation—it was the equation. So I made it my focus.

Specializing in Wix and WordPress SEO for Local Business Owners

Unlike most SEO experts who only focus on one CMS, I specialize in both Wix and WordPress—the two most popular platforms for small and local businesses.

🔧 Wix SEO

Wix has come a long way. While some developers overlook it, I’ve learned to unlock its full SEO potential. From structured data and image optimization to page speed, I’ve helped businesses on Wix rise above the competition—without switching platforms.

💻 WordPress SEO

WordPress offers power and flexibility, but that can be a double-edged sword. I bring clarity to the chaos, helping clients set up fast, secure, and fully optimized WordPress sites that rank locally and convert traffic into revenue.

If you're a local business using Wix or WordPress and struggling to get found online, Flash First Media can help you get on track with a proven strategy.

My specialty is helping local businesses build visibility in their own backyard. Whether you're a restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, a chiropractor in Boca Raton, or a lawyer in Atlanta, I craft SEO strategies tailored to your location, audience, and niche.

Here’s how I help:

• Local keyword research that reflects real-world searches

When you work with me through Flash First Media, you’re getting more than traffic—you’re getting targeted leads that are ready to buy, call, or visit.
