Dustin Day – Results-Driven SEO, Design & Creative Marketing Services
I bridge the gap between high-end design and the technical side of Google search.
My approach blends creative artistry with the science of organic search to help businesses, from local shops to global brands, climb the US Google rankings.
Whether you’re looking for a solo partner to lead the way or a specialist to support your existing team, I’m here to produce high-quality design targeted for measurable growth. Let’s build something that doesn’t just look good, but actually gets found.
Good design starts with communication
Getting on the Same Page
We’ve all had that moment where we say “classic” and someone else hears “old-fashioned.”
Communication is how we bridge that gap. By talking through the “vibe” before I even touch a design tool, I make sure the colors, fonts, and layout I choose feel exactly like your business, not just my interpretation of it.
Designing for Your Real Challenges
I like to think of design as a way to fix things, not just decorate them.
Maybe your current site is confusing visitors, or maybe it’s just not showing up in search results. When we talk openly about your “pain points,” I can build a design that actually solves those problems instead of just putting a fresh coat of paint over them.
No Surprises, Just Results
There is nothing worse than waiting weeks for a design only to realize it’s not what you wanted.
Staying in contact keeps the project moving smoothly and ensures we’re both excited about the direction. It turns the process into a partnership, saving time and making sure the final launch feels like a shared win.
Balancing the Pretty with the Practical
A website has a big job: it needs to wow your customers while playing nice with Google’s search algorithms.
Communication helps us find that “sweet spot.” It allows us to balance the creative ideas you love with the technical SEO requirements I need to build in, so you get a site that looks amazing and actually performs.
Creating a great website and quality marketing materials comes with experience
Creating a standout website and effective marketing materials isn’t just about knowing which buttons to click; it’s about understanding the “why” behind every design choice. With years of experience working alongside international brands and local startups alike, I’ve learned that the best results come from a blend of creative intuition and technical strategy.

Competitive Analysis: The Edge
I don’t design in a vacuum. By studying the digital landscape and identifying where your competitors are missing the mark, I find the “gaps” where your brand can shine. This strategic assessment ensures your website isn’t just another entry in the search results, but a targeted tool designed to capture the attention of your specific audience.
Let’s Beat The Competition
- Using competitive analysis tools I can work to outperform the competition at multiple levels from the start eg. content refinement, accessibility scores, performance, locality pack optimization, etc.
- If you already have a website, online and social media presence – that’s no problem! Optimizing an existing website and online reputation is totally doable. From on-page optimization to refining the content, social proof, and content plan, it’s in the bag.
- Marketing beyond the web. After looking at what you have been doing and your competitors we can look at the best gameplan to tie in your terrestrial marketing and digital marketing to better push for your desired outcome, eg. leads, sales, calls, etc.
- Let’s step up your game. in order to crush the competition we need to make sure we are playing the long game. Whether that’s utilizing my on-going services or working up a gameplan for your team to utilize, I’ve got you covered.
Results: The Outcome
At the end of the day, my success is measured by yours. I focus on delivering tangible results, whether that’s a higher ranking on the US Google landscape, increased user engagement, or a more polished brand identity. Every line of code and every design choice is made with one objective in mind: helping your business reach its next milestone.
Your success is my success
- We are going to track metrics! That may sound rough, but how else will we know if we are succeeding. From keywords and analytics, to continued market analysis, let’s make sure what we are doing is working.
- Reporting, zzz! Just kidding, we will work out a reporting schedule and template that works for you. I will do my best to not overload you with data, but instead make the reporting approachable and easy to track progress.
- SEO and organic reach success is a long game. We will definitely see some results quicker, but the BIG picture is over the course of the life of your marketing plan and website.
