I am a digital growth and SEO specialist with hands-on experience improving search visibility, paid acquisition, website performance, and conversion across commercial websites and local digital projects. I also bootstrapped and scaled my own SEO-led B2B review platform as owner, which was acquired for $250,000. Over the past eight months I have worked directly with Mahers Coffee in Cork, supporting growth across SEO, GEO, Meta Ads, performance tracking, and on-site optimization. I also run Cork Circle, a Cork-based events newsletter with over 1,600 subscribers, building a local audience and understanding what drives engagement across the city.
