I live and work in Waynesville, NC, just down the road from Bethel Middle School.
I've been doing SEO and digital marketing since 2016, working with companies across the country—from local contractors to Staples. In 2025, I launched Parr Marketing to focus on helping small businesses in Western North Carolina like Jack the Dipper in Waynesville, NC, get found on Google.

Why Local SEO Matters for Your Business
When someone in Asheville searches "deck builder near me" or a tourist Googles "best brunch Waynesville," they're ready to buy. These aren't browsers—they're buyers.
Local SEO puts your business in front of these people at the exact moment they're looking for what you offer. It's the difference between hoping customers find you and making sure they do.
I focus on bottom-of-funnel keywords—the searches people make right before they pick up the phone. Not "what is a deck" but "deck builder Hendersonville NC."
Every local client I've worked with in Western NC has moved from page two (or worse) to the top five for their most important keywords.
The WNC Challenge: Tourists vs. Locals
Western North Carolina has a unique SEO challenge—two completely different audiences searching in completely different ways.
Tourist Searches
"Best restaurants Asheville" • "Things to do Waynesville" • "Cabin rentals Blue Ridge" — Seasonal traffic from visitors exploring the mountains.
Local Searches
"HVAC repair Canton" • "Plumber near me Sylva" • "Insurance agent Waynesville" — Year-round searches from residents who need services now.
City-Specific Pages
I build dedicated landing pages for each city you serve. "Deck builder Waynesville" and "deck builder Asheville" need separate pages—I've seen this double traffic for clients.
Seasonal Strategy
Tourist keywords in peak season, local service keywords year-round. Different content for different searchers, all working together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about local SEO services.
How long does it take to see results from local SEO?
Most clients start seeing movement within 60-90 days, with significant results in 4-6 months. Local SEO is a long-term investment—Google rewards consistency. That said, some quick wins like Google Business Profile optimization can show results much faster.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
No. I work month-to-month. I'd rather earn your business every month than trap you in a contract. If my work isn't delivering results, you should be able to leave. That pressure keeps me accountable.
What's the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?
Local SEO focuses on getting you found in your geographic area—Google Maps, "near me" searches, and city-specific keywords. Regular SEO is broader, targeting national or global audiences. For most small businesses in WNC, local SEO delivers better ROI because you're competing with fewer businesses for hyper-relevant traffic.
What do you need from me to get started?
Access to your Google Business Profile, website, and any existing analytics. Beyond that, just your time for an initial strategy call. I handle the heavy lifting—you focus on running your business.
Do you work with businesses outside Western NC?
My focus is WNC because I know this market deeply. That said, I've done SEO work for clients across the country—including national brands like Staples. If you're outside the area but think we'd be a good fit, let's talk.
