Don’t hire an SEO strategist only to realize you need to hire a developer to implement their plan, micromanage the execution, or juggle responsibilities to be present for every step. I bridge the gap between high-level search strategy and technical execution. I am a Senior SEO Strategist and Technical Implementer. I don't just build 6-month growth roadmaps; I get my hands dirty and build the pages, optimize the technical architecture, and write the content that makes those roadmaps a reality.
