Real SEO. Real Experience. Real Results.

Not a big agency. Not a guy who watched a few YouTube videos. 16 years of hands-on SEO work, hundreds of campaigns, and a 5.0 Google rating that speaks for itself.

Paul Leary - Founder of Are You On Page 1

Meet Paul Leary

I started Are You On Page 1 in 2010 because I saw too many business owners getting burned by SEO companies that overpromised, underdelivered, and locked people into contracts they couldn’t get out of. I knew there had to be a better way.

My journey into SEO started in 2011 when I needed to attract more customers to my own business, Westford Computer Services. I cracked the code to ranking at the top of search results so quickly that other business owners started asking me for help. That’s when I realized my real calling: helping businesses get found online and turn search traffic into revenue.

Sixteen years later, that’s still exactly what I do. I work directly with every client – no junior account managers, no outsourced teams, no middlemen. When you call, you get me. When I build your strategy, it’s built on 16 years of pattern recognition that no algorithm or automation can replace.

What Makes This Different

Proven Track Record

Hundreds of campaigns across dozens of industries. Custom, data-driven strategies – never cookie-cutter SEO that treats every business the same.

No Middlemen, No Gatekeepers

You work directly with me – the expert, not some outsourced team or junior analyst. When you call, you get me. Period.

Honest, No-Nonsense Approach

SEO isn’t magic, and I won’t sell you fairy tales. If I can help you, I’ll tell you exactly how. If I can’t, I’ll tell you that too.

Long-Term Wins, Not Quick Gimmicks

No “overnight rankings” that don’t last. I build sustainable SEO strategies that grow your business for years to come.

16 Years of Experience, Supercharged by AI

There’s a lot of noise right now about AI replacing SEO professionals. Here’s the reality: AI is a powerful tool, but it’s only as good as the person using it.

I use AI every day in my work – for research, analysis, content strategy, and identifying opportunities that would take hours to find manually. It makes me faster and more thorough. But AI doesn’t replace the 16 years of pattern recognition, strategic thinking, and hands-on experience that tells me what to do with the data.

AI can generate content. It can crunch numbers. What it can’t do is sit across from a business owner, understand their market, read between the lines of a competitor’s strategy, and build a plan that accounts for all the nuances that make each business different.

You don’t need to choose between human expertise and AI capability. With me, you get both. The experience to know what works, and the tools to execute it faster and smarter than ever.

More Than Just Rankings

What I love most about this work is partnering with driven, ambitious business owners who are serious about growing. My clients understand that ranking higher isn’t just about vanity – it’s about attracting the right customers and maximizing ROI.

When I’m not analyzing search trends or building strategies, you’ll find me spending time with my wife Florence and our cats Nova and Stella. I’m also a creative at heart – whether it’s photography, woodworking (over 25 years in that craft), or playing guitar. I used to tour with bands, and while the road life is behind me, the musician’s ear for detail definitely carried over into how I approach SEO.

I’m based in North Chelmsford, Massachusetts, and I serve businesses across all five New England states. But no matter where you are, the approach is the same: honest work, clear communication, and results you can measure.
