Connor Anderson

Business Intelligence Engineer
Microsoft Azure AI/ML Marketing Analytics 7+ Years Local SEO

I've spent 7+ years building data and AI systems for enterprise marketing teams. Now I'm making that expertise accessible to local businesses.

My career has been at the intersection of data engineering, AI, and marketing — working with enterprise customers on platforms like Azure and Microsoft's marketing ecosystem. I've seen firsthand how the same strategies that drive results for large companies can be simplified for local businesses.

404 Digital Marketing exists to close the gap between enterprise-grade marketing strategy and the local business owner who just wants more calls from Google.

When I'm not building SEO systems, I'm coaching business owners 1:1 on implementing these strategies for their specific market. Booked Out gives you the system, and coaching gives you the personalized roadmap.

1:1 Coaching

Personalized strategy for your business.

Booked Out gives you the system. Coaching gives you the shortcut — a custom roadmap built around your specific market and goals.

What's Included

Every coaching engagement is tailored to your business. Here's what a typical session covers:

Full SEO Audit

A complete audit of your website, Google Business Profile, and local presence — identifying every opportunity and ranking blocker.

Custom Keyword Strategy

A prioritized keyword map built specifically for your services and service areas, with a content plan for each target keyword.

Competitor Analysis

I'll analyze who's ranking above you and show you exactly what they're doing differently — and how to close that gap.

Implementation Roadmap

A week-by-week action plan customized to your business, bandwidth, and goals. Not generic advice — specific next steps.

Page & Content Reviews

I'll review your service pages, GBP description, and content as you build them — so you know they're optimized before you publish.

Ongoing Support

Follow-up sessions to review your data, adjust the strategy, and keep momentum going as results build.

Who This Is For

Business owners who want personalized guidance beyond what a tool can give you. You might have a unique market, heavy competition, or limited time. Coaching gives you the strategic edge to move faster.

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need to know anything about SEO?

Not at all. Booked Out explains everything in plain English and generates all the content for you. You just copy and paste. If you can edit a Google doc, you can do this.

What kind of businesses is this for?

Any local service business — plumbers, electricians, cleaners, dentists, contractors, lawyers, salons, landscapers. If your customers search Google for what you do + a city name, this system works for you.

How is this different from hiring an agency?

Agencies charge $1,000–$3,000/month and often move slowly. Booked Out gives you the same strategy and content for a one-time $37 payment. You keep everything forever.

What do I get with Booked Out?

A web app you access with a license key. Enter your URL and it crawls your site, gives you an SEO grade, generates service pages, writes your GBP content, creates review templates, and gives you 12 AI prompts — all personalized to your business.

What if it doesn't work for my business?

Start with the free SEO audit — it costs nothing and shows you exactly what's wrong with your current setup. If the findings match what you've been struggling with, you'll know the system is right for you before spending a dollar.

Google Business Profile

How do I write a GBP description that actually ranks?

A strong GBP description uses your primary keywords while describing exactly who you serve and where. Here's a fill-in-the-blank framework.

Google Business Profile

What does Google look at to rank my Business Profile?

Google ranks Business Profiles on three factors: relevance, distance, and prominence. Understanding each tells you exactly where to focus first.

What are Google Posts and how often should I publish them?

Google Posts appear directly on your Business Profile in search results. Publishing weekly signals active management and consistently boosts map visibility.

What should every local business homepage include?

A homepage that ranks and converts needs a clear service statement, local keyword placement, proof elements, and a single CTA above the fold.

Conversion & Website UX

What is answer-first content and how do I write it?

Answer-first content leads with the direct answer before any context or buildup. It's the writing structure that AI search engines quote most frequently.

Every job you finish is raw material for a case study, a Google Post, a review request, and a FAQ update. Here's how to extract all four in under 30 minutes.
