Brandon Ong
@brandonong
I grow organic revenue through SEO, AI search, content, and digital PR.
What I'm looking for
I've led organic growth work for B2B American and British clients at 2X, spanning SEO, AI search, digital PR, brand mentions, and technical optimisation. I measure success by revenue growth and customer retention—not vanity metrics.
At Xedea, I managed seven SEO specialists, two copywriters, and a designer; built SOPs, launched a YouTube SEO department, and started Shopee SEO initiatives for clients. I've also led SEO teams, trained teams on Google SEO, copywriting, AI Overviews, brand strategy, and YouTube SEO, and managed project allocation.
My background in content, PR, media relations, social media, email marketing, and legal research helps me approach organic marketing as a marketer first and a technical specialist second. I analyse relevant channels to build growth strategies rather than relying on cookie-cutter tactics.
