About

I’m Emil Sandström, an SEO and growth specialist with over a decade in digital marketing, focused on organic growth for e-commerce and affiliate projects. I prefer remote collaboration with founders and small teams to drive technical SEO, content strategy, link-building, and data-driven reporting.

My approach blends technical audits and keyword research with hands-on execution alongside developers and writers, aiming to unlock topline growth and measurable ROI. I’ve helped clients achieve 60%+ revenue growth in six months, recover lost rankings after competitive updates, and build scalable WordPress-based sites and data-driven affiliate platforms.
