Legacy
Our local SEO agency started when ranking was pure craftsmanship. We built EEAT before it had a name, mastered GBP when it became a weapon for local businesses, and stayed ahead of every algorithm shift: with method, not luck.

Today we architect presence for the age of AI agents. GEO, AIO and LLMO define where your brand shows up: not just on Google, but on ChatGPT, Perplexity and any LLM your customers use tomorrow.
Two tracks that ran side by side: the local work that never stopped, and the ventures that came and went. This is the real timeline.
The son of a telecommunications engineer, I grew up among radios, towers and the networks that let one phone reach another. My first computers were the laptops my father brought home from work, and later a Compaq that became my portal. Dial-up at 56k, ISPs like iBest and IG, the first websites and chat rooms. That is where my fascination began, with understanding how all of it worked.
With FrontPage and raw HTML, I built my first real website: an interactive RPG inspired by Tagmar, where friends and cousins played through choices and dice rolls inside a story. It wasn't just a site. It was logic, interactivity and experience. The exercise I would repeat my whole life: understand what the person wants and build the path to get them there.
2004 is the turning point. That's when I fully committed to this path: I wanted people to find the projects I built, I wanted to generate leads, I wanted independence. I started building corporate websites, still primitive ones, but that was the beginning of my professional life on the web.
I set up my first online store on OpenCart, importing from China: replica clothing, accessories and electronics. It wasn't a pretty site sitting idle. It was real operations, with logistics, inventory and customer service. I closed it out of tax caution, but I came out certain of one thing: this was what I wanted to do. The web would be where everyone looked for products and services.
I hold a degree in Accounting and even worked in the field, but I never left the web. I started selling and building lead-capture websites for local services: glass shops, plaster work, drain cleaning, dentists, lawyers, mechanics, gutters and flashing. Google was still open territory, and anyone who understood the basics of SEO could get results. That work kept me going, and I never let it go.
While the market delivered 5 to 10-page websites, my projects already had 20,000 to 30,000 pages, structured by neighborhoods and regions, with automation built on programming logic. I lived through the era of aggressive tactics. I saw what worked and what broke with every Google update. That's where I learned how the engine really works, not just the surface.
Hundreds of projects later, some failures and some wins, I learned the lesson that changed everything: what matters is what the user needs. I flipped the logic. I started focusing on semantic architecture, structured data, URL standardization, Core Web Vitals, PageSpeed and caching, giving the crawler the maximum amount of truthful information. I was already thinking about E-A-T a decade earlier, tying projects to the company's real data and social networks.
When people started asking how I got results, I created courses on basic, intermediate and advanced SEO, HTML done right and dynamic implementation of structured data. A few thousand students took them. Later I took everything offline: technology had changed too much, and life called for other priorities.
I dove into Google AMP and Progressive Web Apps for two and a half years, becoming a specialist in AMP themes. Google eventually discontinued AMP, but some of my projects still run on this technology and deliver excellent results, thanks to the power of caching and the strategies I had built up.
At one point I ran more than 500 blogs with almost fully automated operations. I was among the first to automate stories on Google Discover and, for about two years, we dominated the recipe and news carousels. It was a period of heavy traffic, lots of learning and good revenue, until Google updated and the projects dropped.
Everything that came along (blogs, courses, AMP, automation) ran in parallel. The core never changed: building for local businesses and generating real leads. I watched the results happen: the glass shop getting a quote request, the dentist booking appointments, the drain cleaner getting called. Everything that broke was algorithm manipulation. What was built on real results never broke.
At 41, with 25 years on the road, Old School brings it all together. Today I build our own WordPress platforms with AI agents that analyze, plan, architect and produce content optimized for local search. Mobile-first projects, with geolocation, PageSpeed, Core Web Vitals and structured data, ready to compete organically from day one.
All of this became a method. A website that starts from scratch but already knows where it's going.
Structured digital presence, with technical SEO and starter content. For those just getting started or moving away from a poor website.
Content clusters with internal linking, Google Business Profile and active geolocation by neighborhood.
AI-generated content, full regional coverage, carousel automation and priority support.
