John is a Marketing Genius!He's incredibly talented with SEO, Startups, and has a lot of great ideas for growing a venture. I learned a ton in our call together and would highly recommend him for anyone who needs coaching or optimizing their funnel.Thanks John!
I’ve been working with John for the last 18 months after we were introduced by a mutual colleague whos deep SEO knowledge I respect. I’ve worked with a handful of talented (and some not so talented) consultants in this space since 2011, and after speaking with a half-dozen more when we were looking to onboard someone new to tackle some hairy projects, I can confidently say John is the best I’ve come across. He has extensive experience running and advising SEO programs at companies with complex organic search challenges like Autodesk.
Beyond domain expertise, John is incredibly responsive and easy to work with. Even though has been a consultant for us, he quickly became a trusted part of our team. His biggest strength might be his ability to successfully work with various groups across the company, from highly technical to nontechnical, and explain complex SEO concepts in a manner that all can understand and align around.
The bottom line is that John is a great guy to have on your side.
I've been working with John to improve my marketing efforts for Adopted.com. He did a deep analysis of our current strategy, and then offered a great plan to improve our site structure and more, followed by some high level recommendations for ongoing help to manage our marketing. Highly recommend him!
