SEO Director

Advertising / Marketing / PR

In the 14 years I’ve been in the SEO business, I’ve worked with Fortune 100 companies and small businesses alike. I’ve headed up the SEO practice at consulting firms like IBM iX, digital agencies like ResourceAmmirati, and SEO agencies like Netconcepts and Covario. But I've also been the client – as the SEO manager at Groupon and the webmaster at Intel – so I know what it's like to try to implement sometimes-unrealistic agency recommendations. SEO is my passion: I’ve written the SEO articles at PracticalEcommerce.com for 10 years, and edited SEO books for O’Reilly – including “The Art of SEO.” Ecommerce is my wheelhouse: I love the scalable performance opportunities inherent to ecom SEO.
