Good SEO Shouldn’t Be So Complicated

Most people are confused about search engine optimization (SEO), and get overwhelmed by trying to implement every single best practice they’ve ever heard. There’s also the predictably uninspired articles every year claiming “SEO is dead”, not to mention seemingly constant algorithm changes (we’re looking at you, Google), and updates on how AI fits into the picture. It’s no wonder that business owners are left not knowing where to start, but knowing they need to do something. That’s where I come in!

I have over a decade of experience in helping clients attract their ideal clients and actually finally understand SEO. Whether you are aiming to land on page 1 for a coveted keyword, increase your organic traffic, or get more leads/clients/revenue from your website, I’m here to support you with actionable SEO strategies that give you the best chance of achieving those goals.

It all starts with a free consultation designed to help me understand where you’re at and where you want to be. From there I will put together a custom quote and strategy made just for you. I left the corporate world to support women that are tired of hustle culture, tech bro speak, and being locked into long-term contracts with vague and unclear deliverables. You won’t find any of that here.

I can’t wait to get to know you, contact me today to get started!

Melissa Kranz

(she/her)

A self-proclaimed SEO nerd, I got my marketing career started in 2011. I immediately fell in love with the challenge of developing quality SEO strategies that drive tangible business results.

With a track record of helping businesses generate $40M+ in annual revenue plus seeing an average 10% month-to-month increase in traffic and leads, I have the skills to help you take your business to the next level through the power of organic SEO. My 14 years of experience in managing SEO and website projects for large enterprises like KnowBe4, plus small, medium and large businesses across dozens of industries at Panoptic Media Marketing (formerly GreatCircle Studios), have equipped me with the experience needed to achieve a wide variety of unique goals when it comes to SEO. While I can help clients that are on any website platform, my most extensive experience has been on: Squarespace, HubSpot, WordPress, and Webflow.

My passion is meeting clients where they’re at and empowering them to get the greatest SEO benefit possible for their business.

A true Sagittarius, I enjoy traveling, love music, soaking up the Minneapolis sun, and spending time with my partner and our Olde English bulldog, Trevor.

Mission

To empower women-led business owners to speak SEO fluently, and attract the audience that is already searching for them.

  • "I am a small business owner and Melissa helped me with my SEO. She was extremely kind, patient, and knowledgeable throughout the process. I had little knowledge about SEO, and she took the time to explain things thoroughly. Since I have worked with her, I've seen a significant increase in my website traffic. She gave me easy, actionable things to do so that I can continue to keep my website visible. I highly recommend working with Melissa!"

    — Lisa Carter, Owner, Styled Joy

  • "I want to say this is literally the best SEO lesson I have ever had in my entire life! 38 minutes and I learned so much and it was just incredible. I've taken so many courses and this is really the most outstanding. There was so much I've never seen or heard before, thank you so much!"

    — Bonnie S., Director of Marketing, Healthcare Industry

  • "Melissa is a top-notch SEO consultant who has provided me with so much knowledge for not only what the best practices are, but also how to implement them on my own. With her expertise, the amount of contact forms that were filled out on my site increased, and many were qualified leads that went to contract. I would recommend Stargazer SEO to anyone who is looking for a partner in achieving organic SEO goals and reducing the need to pay for ads."

    — Lauren Monti, Senior Marketing Specialist & Sustainability Associate, Iconergy

  • "Melissa is the real deal. I came to her as the owner of a niche virtual therapy practice in Minnesota and she audited my entire website, built out a keyword strategy and content calendar and handled technical SEO I never would have figured out on my own. Every recommendation was specific to my business. She communicates clearly, follows through and actually cares about your results. Highly recommend."

    — Evon Inyang, ForwardUs Counseling
