Colton Hibbert

The short version

I have done SEO, analytics and Search Console work professionally for more than five years. Bolt SEO is the name of my practice. I lead the strategy on every account, and a small specialist team handles content production, publishing and account coordination under my review.

Most of my clients find me through Upwork, where I am Top Rated Plus with more than $90K earned across 44 projects. The work ranges from one-time audits to long-term SEO and AEO programs.

How I got here

I studied Entrepreneurial Management at the BYU Marriott School of Business. Before SEO became my full-time work, I was a growth specialist at Yoodlize, a peer-to-peer rental marketplace, and I founded Find My Place, a student housing discovery platform. Growing my own company is where I learned that search is one of the few channels that keeps paying you back after the work is done.

That is still how I think about it. Every page I build for a client should either earn traffic on its own or make the pages around it stronger.

What I focus on

• Local SEO for service businesses: Google Business Profile, map rankings, and the Core 30 page framework.
• Ecommerce and national SEO: Shopify and WordPress, topical authority, and technical SEO.
• AEO: making sure ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews cite and recommend your business.
• Measurement: Google Analytics 4, Search Console, Tag Manager and conversion tracking, so we know what is working.

How I work with clients

You get me, not a handoff. I set the plan, review the work, and write a report every month that explains what changed, why, and what comes next. See the full process.
