We work with growth-minded local businesses who want to be #1 option in their local market.
📈 SEO That Grows With You 📈
Because small businesses don’t need more promises
They need more 🤙 calls, 🧑🏻💼 clients, and 🔎 clarity.
Tired of SEO That Sounds Great
But turns out to be too good to be true?
You don’t need more traffic —
You need more ☎️ calls, 📅 bookings, and
💰 paying customers.
Most SEO agencies email you slick reports full of pretty pictures, fairy tails and jargon...
But your phone’s still quiet.
Your inbox? Dry as a desert.
Your calendar? Still full of holes.
At Spearleaf Local, I do one thing, and do it better
than anyone:
👉 I get your local business found by customers who are ready to buy.
🧹 No fluff. 🔍 No filler.
Just clean, powerful local SEO and ads that turn clicks
into cash.
If you’ve been paying for “progress” you can’t feel.

Building for Tomorrow
Why Spearleaf Local Exist: Because Small Business Owners Deserve Better
I've watched too many great local businesses get burned by agencies that care more about monthly invoices than your actual survival.
The horror stories are all the same:
"I paid thousands and still have no idea what they did"
"They locked me into a contract, then did not work for me"
"They optimized for rankings that don't matter anymore"
I built Spearleaf to be the agency I wish existed.
While other agencies are still playing the old game, I’m preparing you for the new one.
And I’m getting our clients in while the getting is good.
Our early adopter clients are already seeing the benefits:
🚀
Easier rankings
(less competition understands AI yet)
🪙
Lower costs
(we're not bidding against 50 other agencies)
⏩
Faster results
(the AI landscape isn't saturated yet)
👑
Longer dominance
(first-mover advantage compounds)
Here's what I actually do:
📍
Get you leads for nearly free
I secure your top spots for your money many keywords. Letting Google to the work.
🛡️
AI-Proof Your Business
I build your reputation and authority so AI recommends YOU. Fruture proofing your business.
🏰
Review & Reputation Fortress
Get your customers to recommend you to other people. Free Customers.
💼
Conversion Systems
I turn views into customers, not just traffic. Building customer confidence in your business.
No contracts. No BS. No outdated strategies.
You stay because I’m keeping you ahead of the curve, not because a contract says you have to.
Who I work with (and who I don't)
I'm great for:
✅
Home service businesses (HVAC, plumbing, electrical)
✅
Health and wellness (medspas, chiropractors, therapists)
✅
Professional services (Lawyers, CPAs, Consultants)
✅
Local contractors and trades
✅
Retail stores with local customers
I'm not your guy if:
❌
You want a "set it and forget it" agency
(locking you into their system)
❌
You're looking for the “to good to be true” option. (most likely a scam)
❌
You expect overnight miracles
❌
You are open to making money
I only take 3-5 new clients per month because I handle everything personally.
So We Built the Agency
We Wish Existed:
✅
Small, honest, and easy to reach, we pick the phone and don’t hide behind a contact form
✅
Focused on results, not excuses because you have a business to run, not a SEO firm to babysit
✅
No contracts. No gatekeeping. No BS just results that you can feel on bottom line
✅
Transparent work that you actually own see the results from
We're not here to impress you with buzzwords.
We're here to get your business in front of
the right people who are ready to say YES
Meet Joshua:
The Guy Who's Been Where You Are
From sleepless nights to ranked Top 3 in the Country (And Why That Matters to You)
Look, I'm not going to blow smoke up your butt with some rags-to-riches fairy tale.
The truth is, I've been exactly where you are right now.
In 2007, I started my first business. I had three months rent saved and no clue how I was going to pay for month four.
I started my headshot photography business in Chicago with zero connections, zero customers, and zero idea what I was doing.
I was grinding 15 hours a day, trying to figure out how to get people to find me online. I was learning SEO the hard way — making every mistake you can imagine.
It took me four brutal years to crack the code.
But when I did? I went from nobody to the #1 headshot photographer in Chicago. Three years later, I was in the top 3 in the entire country.
Here's what I learned: Once you build a system that works, you can repeat it.
So I did. I built:
✅
A wedding film company
(ranked #1 locally)
✅
A commercial cinematography company (ranked #1 locally)
✅
A seasonal photography business (ranked #1 locally)
✅
Multiple other photography ventures (all ranked #1 locally)
Then I started helping my friends' local businesses.
That's when I realized I had something bigger than just photography.
I had a system that worked for any local business. I'd proven it worked locally and nationally. I'd proven it worked for service businesses and content creators.
But here's what really drives me:
Every single business I helped succeed
created jobs, served their community,
and proved that hard work still matters.
Every predatory agency I've seen destroy businesses made me angrier.
I've watched too many good business owners get burned by agencies that promise the world and deliver nothing. These aren't just lost marketing dollars — these are destroyed dreams, broken families, and communities that lose valuable services.
That's why Spearleaf Local exists.
Not to make me rich (heck, I made more money as a photographer). But to be the agency I wish existed when I had three months rent and no customers.
I'm not perfect. I've made every mistake in the book.
But I care about your success. I've been in your shoes. I know what it feels like to bet everything on a dream.
And I'll be damned if I let another small business owner like you get screwed over by agencies that don't care about your future.
What We Actually Do

“In under 90 days, we went from invisible to page one. My phone rings every single day now. It works.”
Sarah P.,
MedSpa Owner
“I honestly thought SEO was a scam — until we worked with Joshua. We’ve had more leads in 3 months than we got all of last year.”

HVAC Business Owner
“Spearleaf gave me back control. I finally know what’s working and why.”

No Long-Term Contracts.
No Fine Print. No Guessing.
Most SEO agencies lock you into a 6 or 12-month contract before they show you a single result.
And once you’re in?
You're stuck. Confused. Bleeding money.
Wondering what you're paying for.

No lock-in. No loopholes. Just local SEO that works and keeps working.
You stay because it’s growing your business,
not because a contract says you have to.
