SEO Background
Where it all began
I started gaining an interest in the internet way back when it first hit the mainstream in the UK. I was working for Time Computers Ltd as a sales cosultant when I started to realise the internet was going to a big thing that would transform our lives; due to the fact that the majority of the households in the UK were starting to purchase PC's.
My first role
My first experience in the web world started in Lancaster, Lancashire; working for a national ISP called Businesserve PLC. I started on the bottom rung selling domain names, hosting and website design; within 2 months I was looking after 16 staff in the outbound sales department. Due to the fact I wanted to assist my staff to increase sales, I started researching SEO techniques by building my own website and doing continual testing. After months of trials and pulling my hair out; I was chosen as the SEO specialist within the company.
BT Customerstreet
Having worked for several other ISP's; I secured a role as the UK SEO Manager at BT Customerstreet. I was in charge of the companies client websites, the national and trade specific business directories. Within 16 months; I had increased traffic from 1.3 million visitors (over the network) to over 10 million visitors per month. Having gained a wealth of experience over the last 8 years; I decided the time was right to provide a consulting service to businesses with their online portfolios.
Current Role
I am the managing director of Hit Your Market Ltd. The company is in its infancy but has gone from strength over the last 3 months; since inception. I currently employ 4 staff and we have a close knit tight ship and have some varied and interesting clients. Long may it continue !!!
