    paper SEO Consultant for last 12 years

    As an SEO Specialist, I have extensive experience with SEO Audit, building strategies and successfully executing them, which includes Technical on-page and off-page activities. I worked on various projects from different industries which have always been great as SEO is totally different for one website and on another. I have never been delayed on my tasks as I believe on-time delivery is really important for clients.
    Previously I worked at Zoopla as SEO Manager for over 3 years where I worked on improving traffic to the Zoopla website and other sister websites like primelocation.com. As a manager, my role was to manage a team of 2 executives and put together an SEO strategy, analyze reports in google analytics to improve results and manage the SEO of the digital products. I also started communication with other departments like social and PR which forms an integral part of SEO. With my passion for SEO and extensive knowledge, I was able to grasp new aspects of working on a website that has over a million pages as it comes with a whole new bunch of technical issues. It was challenging but a major learning curve for me.

    I would love to bring my extensive technical SEO knowledge and product management which I have acquired over 10 years of my experience and project management experience. I am also GAIQ certified.
    I would love to be considered for this role and speak to you so we can identify how my skill-set will work best for you.
