Hire an SEO Consultant

Please note: At this time, we are not accepting new clients. However,  I am able to help you find an SEO you can trust.

As an Internet marketing consultant, I work directly with your existing web designers, marketing departments, and IT staff to ensure maximum visibility for your domain on the search engines.

What makes me different?
Unlike most large search marketing firms, my goal is not to replace your existing staff, but instead, to help you leverage your existing resources by educating your team.

By teaching you to be self-sufficient, and providing expert guidance and direction, your costs are minimized for your search marketing campaign, and that improves your bottom line.

I utilize screen casting software, instant messaging, e-mail, and occasional phone calls to tailor fit my consulting services directly to your areas of need.

What makes me a search marketing expert?
I began in 2001 by reading literally thousands of posts and articles written by top industry experts, like Jill Whalen, Bruce Clay, and others who participated in the Webmaster World forums.

By the time I closed my retail computer store (April 2002), I was promoting my on-site computer repair business through organic search and PPC advertising, and was a committed “searchaholic”. Around that same time I began web marketing in the Portland health insurance industry, and a legal firm as well.

Education
In 2004, I attended a five day seminar given by John Alexander and Robin Nobles at Search Engine Workshops, which was one of the first (and still one of the best) and places to learn search engine optimization and Internet marketing strategies.

In 2005, I attended another three-day seminar by Search Engine Workshops, and a second two day “ultra-advanced” workshop, where the instructors were some of the top names in search at the time, including Jerry West, Mike Marshall, and Ginette Degner.

Continuing Education
Since then, I’ve never stopped learning this industry. I spend over $15,000 and more than 100 hours each year in training classes and seminars with some of the top Internet marketing consultants in the world, staying up on all the latest facts, trends, tests, and yes, even the myths and rumors.

I attend industry conferences regularly, including SMX, Search Engine Strategies, and I haven’t missed a Pubcon since my first Las Vegas conference in 2005.

In 2006 I became a founding board member of Search Engine Marketers of Portland (SEMpdx.org) and we hold monthly search marketing educational events in Portland, where I live.

Experience
Over the past few years, I have worked with hundreds of domains and dozens of businesses far too numerous to list here, but please see my references page for client comments and input on my service provided, and feel free to contact any of them.

Results
My own visibility on the front page of nearly all of the search engines for phrases like “Internet consultant” and “search engine expert” gave me an initial credibility, but I realize I can never stop learning if I want to remain a top SEO consultant.

There are many different aspects to search engine marketing, both organic and paid options, and I’ve tried to become well-rounded in all of them, and focused especially on my areas of weakness for further education.

There are hundreds of talented individuals that know far more then I do about specific subjects, but I can confidently call myself an expert in the field, and I can provide the search results to prove it.
