Search Engine Optimisation. Is there any other subject surrounded by so much misinformation?
Where self-appointed experts shout about pet theories. Which they present as fact. Despite never having actually achieved any real-life results.
At the same time it is a subject which cause many business owners, especially sole-traders or small businesses, such anguish.
Every business has a website. Every business knows the importance of ranking in Google. Every business thinks the first page of the search engines is the path to market domination.
I’m a freelance copywriter. What do I know?
I know more than many. I began SEO in 1999 before Search Engine Optimisation was actually a thing. For many years I ran a successful local SEO agency.
Nowadays I restrict myself to consulting on SEO and creating local SEO campaigns for small businesses.
If you are a small business looking for more local customers and to rank highly in Google for your search terms. I’m your man.
But I also enjoy writing about SEO.
