About
I learned SEO when my own revenue depended on it.
My journey in search didn't start in a boardroom; it started while I was running my own e-commerce business. I learned the discipline because my own livelihood was on the line.
Today, as a senior SEO practitioner directing campaigns at EarlyBird, that business-owner mindset dictates everything I do. I know firsthand how frustrating it is to hire an agency that "fluffs about" with vanity metrics and vague reporting.
That's why our model is different. Powered by StudioHawk's infrastructure, my team runs transparent, productised campaigns. You will always know exactly what we are doing, why we are doing it, and how it translates to leads and revenue. And when it matters most, I'm directly reachable.

How search is evolving
Search has changed more in the last 3 years than the previous 20.
And it's still changing. To drive revenue tomorrow, you can't run a playbook from 2015. Here is my thesis on where search is going, and what it means for your business.
