    Most companies struggle to find a search engine optimization (SEO) specialist that can clearly articulate an effective strategy to rank their website. I quickly improve website rankings by studying what Google is ranking for the desired topic and creating a goal-oriented plan to exceed those standards. The result is a higher return on investment, more sales, and peace of mind throughout the project. A successful SEO engagement starts by clearly understanding what the goals are for the project. Then we can determine which keywords are the most valuable and will provide the highest return based on the amount of investment necessary to rank. The focus is to bring more of the traffic, conversions, clicks, or sales as quickly as possible.

    Hey, I'm Fred. I'm a digital marketer with experience in paid search, paid social, and overall digital marketing strategy. I believe in helping brands accomplish goals through analyzing data and producing helpful and insightful campaigns. I previously helped small businesses exceed revenue goals during the pandemic by using the video and display networks to grow brand awareness and keep them strong and relevant in SERPs through targeted search campaigns. I've increased multiple clients' revenue between 70% and 200% during hard economic times, took a cloud services company from zero brand awareness to a market leader, increased overall conversions for companies by at least 75% through account restructures, and helped an accounting firm broker grow their business by reaching new markets and launching an accounting practice academy.
