The story

Built on the side. Growing on purpose.

My path into digital marketing started with the Arizona Safe Baby Haven Foundation. I helped manage the foundation’s online presence and social media, and I learned the work by doing it.

That was more than a decade ago. I never stopped learning: websites, SEO, content, social media, and now AI search. Along the way I started helping local businesses too, and STAT Digital grew out of that work.

STAT Digital started as a side project. It isn’t a career change, and I’m not leaving my full-time job. I’m growing it on purpose, one client at a time.

The name comes from my years as a paramedic, where STAT means now. It still describes how I work: find what’s most critical, fix it first, and keep monitoring, with plain-English answers along the way.

How we work

STAT means now.

It’s the word for things that can’t wait. That’s how we treat your visibility online: find what’s critical, fix it first, and keep watching. Four rules guide everything we do.

01

Assess before we treat

Every engagement starts with a Search Health Check. We don’t sell fixes before we know what’s wrong.

02

Proven over trendy

SEO and AI search are full of hype. We stick to what’s been shown to work and tell you when something is still unproven.

03

Plain English, always

Every month you get a work log that explains what we did and why it matters. No jargon, no 60-page PDFs.

04

Only what we can verify

We don’t make claims we can’t back up. Not in your reports, not in our proposals, and not on this website.

Who we help

Healthcare is our specialty. Local business is our focus.

Google holds health and wellness websites to a higher standard of trust, because the stakes are higher for the people searching. That’s why we put extra care into accuracy and trust signals for healthcare and wellness clients.

That same approach works for any local business or nonprofit. Whether you run a med spa, a law firm, a nonprofit, or a shop down the street, the fundamentals of getting found are the same.
