OUR STORY
2013 — Starting From Scratch
Gabe started Nelson Internet Marketing with a computer in his bedroom — He got really good at a few things. As a result we offer top notch PR outreach, per link link building campaigns, local SEO packages and AI SEO. That’s it. For years, almost all of the client work came from one place: Upwork.
Since Then — Building a Team
The one-person setup eventually turned into a digital marketing team. Same focus though — PR outreach, link building, local SEO. But we tried to do the best we could and we garnered a top notch Upwork track record.
Gabe’s Upwork Track Record
With 345+ projects finished, over $1M in work delivered and every single one rated 4 stars out of 5 or more, that put Gabe and his agency in the top one percent of freelancers on a platform with millions of other competing profiles.
The Shift
Then the platform started changing. Gabe figured the better move was building those relationships directly instead of going through Upwork — no middleman. This website is a result of that.
Today
Go with Nelson Internet Marketing direct and you get everything that built that track record, minus the fees and the AI clutter. Right now we offer: Local SEO (a full package to get found and ranking locally), national and local per link Link Building (sold per link, no long contracts), PR Outreach (real media placements that build your brand’s authority), and AEO Optimization (getting your brand showing up in AI answers like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews).
Local SEO Packages
We offer a comprehensive local SEO package. We promise progress by month three, some successes by month 6 and by a year you should be outranking competition for many keywords. Most of the time, it takes less time. Authority and trust signals — the kind built through reviews, citations, and a fully optimized Google Business Profile — are rated a top-3 Google ranking factor by 36.5% of SEO experts surveyed (2026 Zyppy Ranking Factors Survey).
This includes:
A fully optimized website
A fully optimized Google Business Profile page.
Monthly Onsite Optimization
Monthly GBP management
Monthly SEO Content As Needed
Monthly Link Building
Technical SEO

Link Building Campaigns
We offer ala carte link building services for local or national brands. Links are in the top three ranking factors for Google.
You tell us which pages on your site that you want to promote via link building. We go out and get you links that will improve the performance of those pages.
We propose good sites to get a link on and you approve all. Nothing goes live without your say-so.
Sites are quality checked before being sent to you.
All links are guest post links. In fact, 54.8% of 131 SEO experts ranked backlinks a top-3 Google ranking factor (2026 Zyppy Ranking Factors Survey) — second only to relevance itself.
Social Media Marketing And Influencer Marketing Services
We help you manage your social media accounts, whether that is local or national. Brand signals like branded search volume — often built through consistent social presence — are rated a top-3 Google ranking factor by 27.0% of SEO experts surveyed (2026 Zyppy Ranking Factors Survey).

It’s the same signals AI engines favor: SEO experts rank content quality — especially original research and first-party data — as a top-3 factor 47.6% of the time (2026 Zyppy Ranking Factors Survey).
This includes:
Structuring your site and content so AI tools can read and cite it

I’ve worked with Gabe multiple times already and will continue to do so as different projects arise. Gabe is exactly as he represents himself – friendly, knowledgeable in what he does, and extremely easy to work with. He listens very carefully to your particular needs and delivers on those requirements. You have to be very cautious on who you hire when it comes to anything SEO-related as many freelancers can actually do more harm than good to your site. Gabe delivers solidly at a more-than-reasonable price and you’ll get your ROI in terms of results. Highly recommend!!
