Cornisa Custom Woodwork

Palm Desert, CA

A master craftsman finally has a website worthy of his work.

Cornisa had 35+ years of gorgeous custom cabinetry and no way to showcase it online. I built a full website from scratch — hero gallery, services, quote flow, GBP integration, and schema markup — so every search for Palm Desert cabinetry could find them. Their GBP is fully managed by me.

Scope of work
  • ◉Custom responsive website built from scratch
  • ◉Gallery + services + quote pages
  • ◉Click-to-call + lead capture form
  • ◉LocalBusiness schema + technical SEO
  • ◉Hosting + SSL + ongoing updates
  • ◉Google Business Profile fully managed by Edgar

Coffee Shop & Café

Mentosa Coffee

Palm Springs, CA

Built from the ground up — now #1 on Google for Palm Springs coffee searches.

Mentosa Coffee needed a proper home online. I designed and built their website from scratch — hero imagery, menu, location, and Google Business Profile deeply integrated. Since launch I've also managed their GBP end-to-end: weekly posts, review responses, photo refreshes. Result: #1 local ranking for their primary search terms.

Scope of work
  • ◉Custom café website built from scratch
  • ◉Menu + location + about pages
  • ◉LocalBusiness + Restaurant schema
  • ◉Technical SEO foundation + indexing
  • ◉Google Business Profile fully managed by Edgar (weekly posts, reviews, photos)

Barbershop & Grooming

Victorious Barber Shop

Cathedral City, CA

New site, top 5 in the Cathedral City local pack.

Victorious Barber Shop had zero visibility in local search despite years of operation — and no website worth keeping. I built them a new site from scratch, tightened their local citations, implemented a review acquisition flow, and took over their Google Business Profile. They're now in the top 5 for key Cathedral City barbershop searches.

Scope of work
  • ◉Custom barbershop website built from scratch
  • ◉Services + booking CTA + location pages
  • ◉Local 3-pack ranking strategy
  • ◉Automated review request flow
  • ◉Google Business Profile fully managed by Edgar
  • ◉Hosting + SSL + ongoing updates

sites i didn't build — but still rank and manage.

Some clients already had a website when they came to me. For these, I handle the local SEO and fully manage the Google Business Profile that drives their calls and walk-ins.

Candles & Lifestyle Brand

Chicano Candle Co.

Coachella Valley, CA

Existing e-commerce site — elevated with hands-on SEO and GBP management.

Chicano Candle Co. already had a website when they came to me — so my role is purely SEO and Google Business Profile. I rebuilt their GBP to surface event posts for their in-person markets, optimized 44+ product pages for local + brand searches, and own the ongoing local SEO work. (Transparency: I did not build this site.)

What we did
  • ◉On-page SEO for 44+ product pages
  • ◉Keyword + category strategy for local + brand searches
  • ◉Google Business Profile fully managed by Edgar (events, posts, reviews)
  • ◉Local citation cleanup + NAP consistency
