Hi, I’m Matt Tarsikes
Do you find yourself endlessly waiting for that next client call or for your schedule to fill up, only to face disappointment and worry about where your next customer will come from?
I completely understand your situation.
You’re great at what you do. You understand your business and your craft inside and out. But the world of online marketing? That’s not why you started this business. That’s not what you went to school for. That’s not what gets you excited.
Yet here you are — scrambling for new clients every single month.
Sound Familiar?
- Referrals aren’t coming in as frequently as you need them to
- Your calendar lacks the steady stream of qualified appointments you’re aiming for
- That Facebook ads experiment brought in calls, but hardly any serious buyers
- Your attempts at SEO consumed hours with minimal impact
- You’re tired of competing on price because no one knows what makes you different
Does this resonate with you? I get it. Because I’ve worked with hundreds of business owners in this exact position.
Here’s What I Know
Every successful local business wants the same outcomes:
- To be recognized as the leading authority in their market
- More time to dedicate to existing clients (and less time worrying about where the next one comes from)
- A consistent influx of new clients and growing revenue
- Higher client retention and better-quality customers
- The freedom to enjoy personal time without the constant stress of “Am I going to hit my numbers this month?”
The most successful firms share a common approach: They recognize the value of investing in their growth and are committed to achieving tangible, lasting results.
Why I Started Photon SEO
I founded Photon SEO because I was tired of seeing talented business owners struggle with inconsistent lead flow. You shouldn’t have to choose between doing great work and worrying about your pipeline.
I built this company on a simple belief: Local businesses deserve a marketing system that actually works — one that’s predictable, measurable, and designed to grow with them.
No fluff. No gimmicks. No “spray and pray” marketing tactics that waste your time and money.
Just proven, data-driven strategies that put your business in front of people actively searching for what you offer — and turn them into paying customers.
What Makes Us Different
We don’t just “do SEO.” We build complete growth systems tailored to your business. That means:
- You get more qualified sales conversations every month
- You stop relying on unpredictable referrals
- You can focus on serving clients instead of chasing leads
- You elevate your business to a level that fills you with pride
If you’re ready to stop the feast-or-famine cycle and build a business that runs on consistent, predictable growth — let’s talk.
Our Core Values
Results Over Vanity Metrics
We don’t care about rankings for the sake of rankings. We care about leads, revenue, and ROI. Every strategy is built to move the needle on what actually matters for your business.
Radical Transparency
You’ll always know exactly what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what results it’s producing. No smoke and mirrors. No jargon-filled reports designed to confuse you. Just clear, honest communication.
Long-Term Partnership
We don’t lock you into contracts because we earn your business every single month. Our success is directly tied to yours — which means we’re incentivized to deliver results, not just collect a check.
Education & Empowerment
We believe you should understand what we’re doing and why. We’ll teach you how SEO works, what to expect, and how to evaluate success. You’re not just a client — you’re a partner.
Speed & Agility
Google’s algorithm changes constantly. Your competitors are always moving. We stay ahead of the curve, adapt quickly, and capitalize on opportunities before your competition even knows they exist.
No BS, Ever
We’ll tell you what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change — even if it’s uncomfortable. You deserve honesty, not empty promises or excuses.
