Charley Vail
I’ve spent the last 8 years of my professional career in SEO, specializing in helping clients that have needed help with their Local SEO. I’ve been dealing with Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) and have watched it evolve over the years. I receive joy from helping the SMB or multi-location business thrive in their local environment and all the challenges that come with it!

What I Love About Chicago
I enjoy the hustle and bustle of this city. I love that there are so many unique people that contribute all types of different things. Chicago is a melting pot filled with interesting characters. Also, you have to admit that we have some of the best food on planet Earth.
I strive to help my clients identify and execute on SEO opportunities that help them accomplish their unique business goals. I act as an extension of their marketing team and a trusted partner to help steer their vision toward success.
How I Spend My Free Time
Mostly any nerdy hobby that involves strategy, storytelling, and teamwork. Examples include professional wrestling, video games, board games like Dungeons and Dragons, and of course football! Oh and let’s not forget, hanging out with my adopted pup named General Beauregard Henri Helwich-Vail, The Terror of West Avondale. Beau for short.
