Consulting and Strategy (Partnerships and Product Growth)

Over the past 10+ years, I went from being a freelance project manager to building a 7-figure agency that employs over 20 people.

I briefly stepped down as day-to-day CEO at Tako Agency in 2021 and started my product studio, 920Four.com. Now I run both agencies. 

I became interested in building SaaS products in early 2018 when I started Tako Agency, and my goal was to cater to the niche-SaaS business market. Since then, I have built Sparetoolz.com, Thymeline.co, and a few others, and more are in the works. 

I am a multi-passionate entrepreneur, and I am on a mission to help freelancers, early agency owners, and digital product builders grow their businesses. 

What I have done and what I am doing:

→ Currently building www.thymeline.co at www.920four.com.

→ Built Tako Agency | 7-figure eCommerce agency. 

→ Built Sparetoolz | a peer-to-peer tool rental marketplace. 

→ Built 920Four | Product studio focused on niche products.

→ Growing my personal brand | www.zlatkobijelic.com

Helping local businesses increase visibility and revenue with a proven 3-step Local SEO approach.

1️⃣ Identify Opportunities
2️⃣ Improve Relevance
3️⃣ Build Authority

SEO takes time to show results, so I focus on strategies that deliver quick wins while working towards long-term success. My goal is to help local businesses get better rankings, more traffic, and increased revenue as quickly as possible.

Many of my clients offer high-quality services but struggle to get noticed by their ideal customers. That’s where I come in—I help them get in front of people actively searching for the solutions they provide.

Here are some results my clients have achieved:
✅ Increased a Roofing Company’s organic traffic by 166% in 90 days
✅ Increased a Car Dealerships organic traffic by 108% in 12 months
✅ Increased a Tree Service Company’s organic traffic by 60% in 90 Days
✅ Ranked #1 for a highly competitive local keyword in 30 days

If you’re a local business looking to enhance your online presence and drive more customers to your door, let’s connect.

Most local businesses have 100+ pages when they need 20.

You’re not building Wikipedia. You’re a roofing contractor in Fort Worth.

Here’s the only structure you actually need:

- Homepage
- About
- Services (parent page)
  → Individual service pages
- Areas We Serve (parent page)  
  → Individual location pages
- Reviews
- Contact

That’s it.

The mistake everyone makes:

Creating separate pages for “AC Repair,” “AC Maintenance,” “AC Installation,” “AC Replacement,” “Emergency AC Repair,” “24/7 AC Service”…

Stop.

You need ONE Air Conditioning page with H2s for each service type.

Why?

Google’s algorithm is entity-based, not keyword-based.

It understands “Air Conditioning” as an entity that includes repair, maintenance, and installation. You don’t need to spell it out 47 different ways.

Every redundant page you create:
- Dilutes your site authority
- Creates cannibalization issues
- Wastes crawl budget
- Confuses Google about which page to rank

Site efficiency is the most underrated ranking factor in local SEO.

Think about it…

14 pages all targeting “roofing Fort Worth” → Google has to guess which one matters

vs.

1 Fort Worth location page + 1 roofing service page with smart internal linking → Clear entity associations.

The sites crushing local search right now? Lean. Efficient. Purposeful.

The ones on page 5?
300 pages of “keyword-rich content” from 2018.

Less pages. Better optimization. Actual results.

Helping local businesses generate more revenue with SEO & Google Ads 📈

Big agencies are built for volume. Small agencies are built for results.

Had a new client come over from a national agency last month.

They’d been waiting three weeks to get a GBP update pushed live. Three weeks... to update hours and categories.

We got it done in under a day. Why? No red tape. No ticket system. No “we’ll escalate it.”

Just real people who care, doing real work quickly.

That’s the difference with boutique agencies:
✅ More agility
✅ Fewer hoops
✅ Actual attention

If your agency feels more like a DMV line than a growth partner, it might be time to switch lanes.

Everyone’s losing their minds over AI SEO.

LLM optimization. GEO strategies. It’s all bullshit.

Meanwhile, the businesses actually ranking in 2025?

They’re doing the same boring shit that worked in 2019:
→ Getting consistent reviews on their GBP
→ Running lean, fast websites
→ Optimized LocalBusiness schema
→ Citations with consistent NAP
→ High quality backlinks

That’s it.

The SEO industrial complex wants you to think everything changed.

It didn’t.

Your fancy “GEO optimization” won’t save you if your site has 200 redundant pages and spammy links.

The fundamentals compound. The hacks expire.

99% of local SEOs are still blogging like it's 2019.

They're wrong. And it's killing their rankings.

Here's what happened:
- A roofing contractor came to us with 200+ blog posts.
- Zero page-one rankings for "roofing contractor Fort Worth."
- 14 pages all competing for the same keyword.

The problem →
Every blog post about "roof repair tips" creates another page Google has to crawl, understand, and rank.

Meanwhile, your actual roof repair SERVICE page gets buried in the noise.

We stopped blogging for local clients completely.

Instead, we now focus 100% effort on:
1) One killer page per service (not 5 variations)
2) One optimized page per location (not neighborhood spam)
3) Proper internal linking between them

The results speak for themselves:
- Site efficiency metrics improved 40%.
- Rankings jumped within 30 days.
- Crawl budget actually goes to pages that matter.

But here's the thing...

If blogging is a client deliverable you MUST provide? Do it on external properties:
- Google Sites
- WordPress.com branded blogs
- Medium under the business name

Now those posts become link-building targets. Not competing pages.

Most agencies won't tell you this because blogging = easy monthly deliverables.

But if you have 300 blog posts and still can't crack the map pack...

Maybe it's time to stop adding fuel to the wrong fire.

Some SEO “experts” are still telling businesses to add “near me” to their websites in 2025.

Here’s why that’s outdated…

Google’s been location-aware for a decade. They know where your user is searching from. They know where your business is located.

When someone searches “plumber near me” Google already knows they’re in Fort Worth.

Your job isn’t to repeat their query back at them. It’s to prove you’re the best plumber IN Fort Worth.

What actually works now:

1. NAP consistency across the web
2. Optimized Location pages
3. Proper service area schema
4. Smart internal linking between services and locations
5. Natural geographic entities in your content

Not “near me” stuffed in your H1s.

The algorithm understands local intent without you spelling it out.

Stop optimizing for 2018 search patterns.

Build actual local authority instead.
