By the numbers
Most Divi developers don't do SEO. Most local SEOs don't build sites.
I do both — which is why the site and the rankings stop being two separate projects.
I'm Aaron Carmen. I build WordPress sites in Divi 5 for local businesses — and then I do the unglamorous work of making sure people actually find them. Design and search aren't two projects to me; they're one decision made over and over, from the page structure down to the image file names.
You're not handing a finished site to an SEO who has to undo it. The way it's built is the way it ranks. One person, one bill, one inbox. I work remotely from the Philippines with clients across the US, UK, Australia and Canada — on your hours, not mine.
The short story
I started building in Divi around Divi 3.0, back in 2016 because a friend needed a site and I was stubborn enough to figure it out. My first real client — a roofing contractor in Brisbane — got a site he loved and a phone that never rang. That bothered me for a year. So I learned local SEO the hard way, on his listing, and watched him book out a month. I've been building for that moment ever since.

Two skills that are worth more together.
Most builds need a developer and an SEO. This one needs a calendar slot. I scope, build and rank the same site — no handoff, no finger-pointing.

What clients say about the site — and the phone.
The quotes that matter mention both: how it looks, and what it did.
Working with Aaron has been an absolute pleasure. He’s a true professional highly skilled with the Divi theme, detail-oriented, and extremely responsive throughout the project. From the very beginning, Aaron took the time to understand my goals and transformed them into a clean, modern, and high-performing website that perfectly matches my vision.

It's been wonderful working with Aaron. He communicates quickly, answers all questions, understands the scope of what I want to do and very helpful. He dove in right away and knew what needed to get done.

Aaron is incredibly talented guy, who for me was and is continually supporting and developing my site to date. Allows thinks of you and never shy to expand or raise his thoughts to give you the best advice and guidance you need. I have very little knowledge of the world wide web but Aaron is highly recommend to anyone. I live in the UK and communication isn't a problem. Thank you 10/10

Why Aaron
Divi 5 is new. I've already broken it, so your site doesn't.
I've been building in Divi since Divi 3.0 and moved to Divi 5 the week it was usable — not because it was new, but because the new builder finally lets me ship clean, fast markup without three plugins holding it together. I've migrated 40+ sites onto it and hit the sharp edges early, on my own time, so your launch isn't the one that finds them.
