About Matt

I’m Matt Tarsikes — founder of Photon SEO and a marketing strategist obsessed with one thing: results that actually show up in your revenue, not just your reports.

I founded Photon SEO because I was tired of watching talented business owners struggle with inconsistent lead flow while agencies collected checks for vanity metrics. My approach is different: I build complete growth systems that combine paid search, organic SEO, and local visibility into a single, compounding engine.

No fluff. No gimmicks. Just proven, data-driven strategies that put your business in front of people actively searching for what you offer — and turn them into paying customers.

What I Do

Marketing That
Works

I don’t offer one-size-fits-all packages. Every strategy is built around your specific market, competitors, and growth goals.

01

Paid Search (PPC)

Highly targeted Google Ads campaigns engineered to bring qualified leads in the door within 7–14 days. Every keyword, every conversion tracked.

02

Organic SEO

Expert-level content and technical SEO built around the keywords that actually convert — not just traffic for traffic's sake.

03

Local Search Domination

Google Business Profile optimization, Maps 3-pack ranking, and local citation building to capture 'near me' searches at the moment of intent.

04

Blended Search Strategy

The full-coverage approach: paid ads + organic + local working together to capture customers at every stage of the buying journey.

05

ROI Tracking & Analytics

Real-time dashboards showing calls, form submissions, and revenue by channel. You'll know exactly what's working and why.

06

Content Marketing

Strategic content that builds authority, earns rankings, and converts readers into leads — written around your most profitable keywords.

Don't Just Take
My Word For It

★★★★★
"Cutting our ad budget in half while DOUBLING our leads? I didn't think it was possible. When Photon audited our account, they found we were bidding on hundreds of worthless keywords and had zero conversion tracking. Basically lighting money on fire."
