@stefanosanastasiadis
SEO specialist driving technical SEO, content, and high-impact link building.
What I'm looking for
I am an SEO specialist with 15+ years of experience delivering measurable organic growth across local and global markets. I combine technical SEO, content strategy, and outreach to recover penalised sites, scale organic traffic, and boost conversions.
My achievements include recovering multiple sites from Google penalties, building 3,000+ links while removing 4,000+ toxic links, and driving large traffic gains (including a blog to 120k monthly visits and new blogs to 500% growth in five months). I also published a technical SEO course on Udemy attended by 2,000+ students.
I lead and mentor teams, collaborate with developers to build custom SEO tools and automations, and focus on measurable outcomes like page speed, indexability, and revenue growth. I seek roles where I can apply technical depth, content-led strategies, and outreach to drive scalable organic performance.
