Topic: The Shift to AI Discovery: How Local Service Businesses Get Found and Chosen in 2027

Most business owners are still optimizing their websites for 2018 search algorithms while their actual prospects are using modern AI-driven platforms, ChatGPT, and semantic maps to find services. In this session, we will break down the exact structural blueprint local service providers need to build a compounding digital presence that modern search engines trust.

Neil Colvin is the man who wears many hats and excels in each of them with flair. Neil is not just the Founder and CEO of Thera-fi Counseling Services; he’s also an SEO strategist who can make your website outrank billion-dollar competitors.

The Thera-fi Triumph: In 2022, Neil started Thera-fi Counseling Services from scratch – zero dollars, one employee (himself). Fast forward to now, and Thera-fi boasts a staff of 15, maintains 5-star Google ratings, and has been awarded by Hackernoon.com. Oh, and did we mention Thera-fi outperforms competitors worth $435M and $2.39B, consistently ranking #1 or #2 in the Google Map pack for the past two years?

SEO Savvy: Neil’s secret sauce? Plain old dedication mixed with a sprinkle of genius. He’s known for turning underperforming websites into powerhouse performers. Neil is also in the TOP 1% of Google Local Guides!

Why? Because being in the top 1% of Google Local Guides gives him an edge that other marketing companies simply don’t have.

Why is this a big deal? Neil’s top-tier status means exclusive benefits and insights that can give your business a competitive advantage. Think of it like having a VIP pass to the SEO world – he’s got access to the best tips, tools, and updates that others just don’t see.

A Diverse Leader: Neil’s professional background reads like an action-packed thriller. Before diving into SEO and business consulting, he spent 12 years in the US Air Force. He led the Elite Guard, nuclear SWAT teams, managed Air Force security school operations, and concluded his military career as NATO security chief in Kabul, Afghanistan. Talk about leadership and high stakes!

After his Air Force tenure, Neil became a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, specializing in business scaling. He recruited 800+ employees for Amazon, ensuring top U.S. facility rankings, and achieved significant breakthroughs as General Manager at Rickenbacker International Airport and in various SaaS firms.
