Great guy to have on your side

I’ve been working with John for the last 18 months after we were introduced by a mutual colleague who is 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.

Loved working with John

I worked with John as he consulted our e-commerce digital marketing team for about two years. While a technical SEO wizard, John really shined in his creativity and passion for content. His experience and insight was a catalyst for our team to dream up bigger and better content, a difficult task in our B2B market. John’s best quality is his talent to ask the right questions at the right times for the benefit of our team. He’s a true asset to have in any strategy or brainstorming meeting.
