… this is meant to help people who want your services reach out and find you in the darkness of the net! One sentence?! You sound like you’ll tell them to fuck off!

I mean, you may, but they don’t need to know that right off. It’s hardly promotional.

It says everything it needs to: My name, what I do, where I am. They don’t need to know my star sign.

They need to know why you’re the right choice! How about something like this?:

Lowell Kanaan spent heroic years fighting for the little guy in the public sector. When it became clear there were other places he could do more, he took his keen nose for people and clues--not to mention the most soulful pair of eyes ever granted to a human being--into the private sector to work for YOU.

His cozy, welcoming second floor office is located in a heritage building near Fenway Park. Come for the Detective Noir ambience, stay for the dedication and capability of the proprietor.

See, now THAT sounds good!

Well.

I guess we could lose the bit about the soulful eyes. It’s played out, that phrase. Good point.

I’ve seen your idea of handling it. You’re not handling it.
