Hello! I’m Daniella Simon, and I help local businesses own their markets through AI Local SEO.

I’m based in Bellingham, Washington, and for the past 15 years, I’ve been deep in the trenches of local SEO and digital marketing, helping small businesses get found by customers in their communities.  I guess you could say I’m OG Local Search Optimization!

But here’s what most people don’t know: my background isn’t just marketing. I hold an M.A. and J.D., which means I approach local SEO the way a strategist approaches a case—seeing patterns others miss, building airtight competitive advantages, and thinking ten moves ahead.

And right now? I’m watching 95% of SEO agencies play a game that ended in 2010.

The Agencies Stuck in 2010

Most local SEO agencies are still optimizing for keywords and rankings like it’s 2010. They’re playing checkers while the game has become chess. They don’t realize that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google’s AI Overview, and voice assistants have fundamentally rewritten how customers find local businesses.

Most SEO tools haven’t evolved either. They are still working on traditional SEO models or updating part of the tool but not providing a holistic AI optimization model.  

When AI-powered local SEO emerged, I didn’t just see an opportunity—I saw the solution I’d been waiting for my entire career. This wasn’t another incremental improvement. This was the breakthrough that finally levels the playing field for small businesses.

So I pivoted Muzes AI Marketing to focus exclusively on AI Local SEO to best help my clients, small business owners. 

Your Competitive Advantage

Here’s what 15 years of experience combined with AI technology means for your business: Your plumbing company, med spa, auto repair shop, or restaurant can now accomplish in weeks what used to take years. You can build comprehensive topical authority that makes AI confidently recommend YOUR business by name—not just in the SERPs and Maps, but in Google’s AI Overview and every platform where your customers are asking “who should I call?”

While your competitors are stuck chasing keywords, you’re staking your claim in digital real estate they don’t even know exists yet. And with every passing month, you’re pulling further ahead.

This isn’t about vanity metrics. It’s about consistent customers walking through your door. Predictable revenue. The security of knowing where your next job is coming from. Because at the end of the day, you’re running a business to support your family and your team—and that’s what drives everything I do.

When you work with me, you’re not getting cookie-cutter service. You’re getting strategic thinking honed by legal training, 15 years of local SEO expertise, cutting-edge AI technology, and someone who’s as invested in your success as you are.
