About

Hi, I’m Jesse van Schagen, a Senior SEO Consultant with years of experience helping diverse clients grow their online presence. I enjoy working across various industries, leveraging my SEO expertise and leading teams to deliver effective strategies and results. I also run my own agency with a talented group of freelance specialists, so I get to combine hands-on consulting with strategic leadership.

I’m passionate about using SEO to support business growth and enjoy exploring the latest trends in AI and digital marketing. When I’m not optimizing websites, you might find me running marathons, tending to my plants, or following global football and geopolitics. I believe in lifelong learning and enjoy sharing knowledge through my small gardening blog.
