SEO specialist driving organic growth through technical audits, content strategy, and data-driven optimization.
What I'm looking for
I am an SEO specialist with 5+ years of experience driving organic growth for service-based, logistics, eCommerce, and travel brands. I combine technical SEO audits, keyword research, and content strategy to improve rankings, traffic, and conversions.
I have led end-to-end SEO strategies that increased keyword rankings by 60% and lifted organic traffic by up to 40% across multiple roles. I use tools such as Google Analytics, Google Search Console, SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Screaming Frog to diagnose issues and prioritize high-impact fixes.
My strengths include crafting SEO-friendly content briefs, topical mapping and clustering, internal linking strategies, and backlink analysis, alongside improving Core Web Vitals and site architecture. I collaborate effectively with marketing, design, and content teams to align SEO with broader business goals.
I am self-motivated, detail-oriented, and results-focused, with a track record of measurable improvements in engagement, inquiries, and conversions. I pursue continuous learning through certifications and industry trends to keep strategies current and performant.
