Hi, I’m James, founder of Simple Local SEO. I moved to Redding in 2022, drawn by the outdoors, the small-town atmosphere, and the beautiful Northern California landscapes, even if the summers take some getting used to. I hold degrees in Software Engineering and Psychology/Communications, which helps me blend technical know-how with a people-first approach in my work.
Through Simple Local SEO, I help local businesses improve their online visibility and get more customers — but what I really enjoy is supporting small business owners as they grow and reach more people in the community. Outside of work, I’m an avid hiker, a bit of a gym rat, a lifelong animal lover, and a big fan of great food and great stories. Always happy to connect with others in the local business community — whether we’re talking shop, trails, or tacos.
