I’m a performance marketing expert with 8+ years of experience helping businesses grow through SEO, Paid Search (Google & Bing), and conversion optimization. I specialize in building and executing strategies that drive measurable results. This means turning traffic growth into actual revenue. I can support your business with: SEO strategy and execution: keyword research, content planning, on-page optimization (title tags, meta descriptions, internal linking), and technical SEO audits Paid Search optimization: campaign setup, budget allocation, bidding strategies, and creative testing Conversion rate optimization: landing page testing, copy experimentation, and funnel analysis Marketing performance reporting: custom dashboards to track ROI and make data-driven decisions Most recently, I led the full-funnel growth strategy for a high-traffic affiliate blog in the personal finance space. I oversaw SEO and paid search efforts end-to-end—resulting in increased rankings, improved conversion rates, and higher partner revenue. Whether you're looking to scale efficiently or improve the performance of an existing marketing engine, I bring a strategic lens, technical skillset, and results-driven mindset.
