MEET THE OWNER
Meet Alan Villegas
I grew up in South Bay San Diego, raised on the idea that hard work and smart choices are how you build something from nothing. That belief has carried me through 25 years of working every side of the small-business world — and it’s the foundation of Villegas Digital.
REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE
I've done the jobs my clients do.
Before I ever optimized a website, I washed dishes and worked my way up to line cook. I’ve bartended, served tables at a 400-seat restaurant, sold on commission, negotiated contracts, and taught in classrooms. I know what a slow Tuesday feels like, what a missed phone call costs, and why a business owner working 60-hour weeks doesn’t have time to “figure out marketing.”
That’s not a weakness in my resume — it’s the reason I’m good at this. I build systems for real businesses because I’ve stood inside them.
TRACK RECORD
Doing digital marketing since 2009.
I taught myself SEO in 2009 by ranking my own blogs, and in 2010 a Las Vegas agency, Advise Media Group, hired me as an SEO specialist and blog writer for its roster of about 30 clients. I founded GO SEO in Las Vegas in 2012 and took local businesses — photographers, repair shops, wedding chapels, flower shops — from invisible to page one. One of them, a cell phone repair shop, went from unranked to multiple page-one rankings — and it is still open in Las Vegas today.
My longest-running project, a Honolulu window tint shop, went from page two to the #1 local-pack result for the term that drives that market — and held it for years.
HOW I WORK
I explain things like a teacher, because I am one.
I hold a BA in English and a BA in Education with honors, and I’ve spent years breaking complex ideas down for people who learn in different ways. When we work together, you won’t get jargon or black-box reports. You’ll understand exactly what we’re doing, why it works, and what it’s earning you.
