What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in SEO strategies.

I am a data-driven SEO Specialist with over 2 years of experience at ACKO, where I successfully propelled the Health Insurance main page from #21 to #1, achieving a remarkable 128% year-over-year growth in top-3 keywords and a 62% increase in non-brand traffic. My approach combines multi-agency backlink strategies, technical SEO, and user experience enhancements to drive significant results.

In my role, I have executed comprehensive keyword research and content strategies, publishing over 200 pages that established strong topical authority in the Life Insurance vertical. I am passionate about replicating and scaling similar growth in future SEO roles, whether based in Bangalore or remotely. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to collaborate effectively across teams and lead initiatives that generate substantial leads and conversions.
