SEO Experience

I've successfully used SEO to scale website traffic for nearly 10 years.

Why Choose Me?

Content Strategy

Content Production

Producing content as scale is difficult. My SOPs and quality controls ensure that only high-quality content makes the cut.

Website Optimization

From fixing errors to maximizing performance, I've spent years learning how to optimize a website so it performs at its best.

E-E-A-T Building

Technical SEO

I've trained my brain to have an intuitive sense of technical concepts like site architecture, errors and redirects, and more.

Analysis & Reporting

SEO isn't a black box, and reporting shouldn't be either. I'm able to simplify data and complex concepts so they're easy to understand.

Efficiency & Automation

"Do more with less" is at the core of everything I do. I prioritize efficiency and lean on automation and systems to help maximize the output of my team.

Always Learning

Complacency is not in my vocabulary. I might not always know an answer right away, but you can be sure that I will find out and get back to you once I do.
