Search & AI-visibility strategist. 2-time 7-figure founder. Digital marketing partner to The REKAP with David Kaplan. For 23+ years I have turned search into revenue - and today that means owning the results across Google, Maps, ChatGPT, Gemini and AI answers.
Today my work sits at the intersection of traditional search and the new AI-answer economy. I lead visibility strategy for local businesses, professional practices and media brands - engineering how they surface in Google, Google Maps, ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews. The channels change constantly. The mandate never does: be the result customers find, and the answer AI trusts.
As the digital marketing partner for The REKAP with David Kaplan - one of Chicago's biggest sports channels - I drive the digital strategy, SEO and web presence behind a channel that publishes every single day and reaches millions. It is the same playbook I run for clients, proven under the lights of big-league media. In all, I have helped grow 3 award-winning YouTube channels.
Launched April 29, 2022. 243,000+ subscribers, 3,700+ videos, 12.8 million+ views. Bears, Bulls, Cubs, White Sox and Blackhawks - every single day. Recipient of the YouTube Silver Creator Award.
ESPN 1000 morning show host (Kap & J. Hood, 7-10am CST) and NBC Sports Chicago host (Unfiltered with David Kaplan). One of Chicago's most recognizable sports media voices.
The path to search was not a straight line - and that is the point. Tommy Seilheimer spent 9 years as a touring drummer for the official Poison tribute band across the USA, Mexico and Puerto Rico, playing to thousands a night, before that road led to national television on VH1's The Surreal Life (Season 6) alongside Poison's C.C. DeVille.
Then he built companies. He led a national sales team at US Music, then pioneered the exergaming industry, growing Exergame Fitness USA into a 7-figure company with installs from Chicago to Dubai to the Philippines. In 2003 he co-founded SEOLEVELUP.com, a second 7-figure company, and has ranked businesses on Google every day since - through every algorithm shift from Florida to AI Overviews.
Performer, operator, founder, strategist. It is an uncommon resume, and it is exactly why the work lands: the instinct to command a room, the discipline to build a business, and 20+ years of doing it in search. A proud father of 4 boys, he still produces music as Tommylandz - the same energy that filled venues now fills map packs, page ones and AI answers.
23+ years of rankings. 2 7-figure companies. One phone call away: (224) 600-4353.
