Of professional SEO, software engineering, and product building expertise you can expect from me.

SEO Experimentation That Drives Results

I maintain a ruthless focus on business ROI. SEO isn't just about the keyword rankings.

Research

I deep dive into your industry, your audience, and your product - and find the SEO opportunities to match.

Document

I write the Product Requirements Documents and Design Specifications, and Technical Design Docs that it will take to execute an initiative.

Execute

I set up milestones, manage deliverables, and track success metrics through to business ROI.

We've been working with Tadas on executing a series of programmatic SEO initiatives. It's very rare when working with a freelancer or an agency to have somebody who understands your business well, and who's going to take total ownership of a project. Tadas is that person. He's owned every step of the process, from advising on what initiatives to pursue all the way through to copywriting and managing our designers and web developers. His communication is super clear, and it's often helpful to pull in his expert opinion for other SEO-related matters we run into. I look forward to continuing to work with him.

FAQ

I’ve got answers.

Can you guarantee specific results?
I do my best to estimate the potential ROI for your business before we kick off any particular initiative. But this estimate is a hypothesis. Google does not expose all its search user behavior data for everyone to peruse, and both search algorithm and search user behavior changes over time. So we cannot predict a specific result with certainty. What we can do is make directionally correct business decisions based on that hypothesis, and iterate our way to optimizing your returns from your SEO marketing channel.

When things go well, you can expect SEO traffic to hit significance 2-3 months after an initiative's go-live date. This means that your business needs should be in a place where you can afford to wait 4-6 months from day zero of engaging me to realize business ROI from your SEO efforts.
How long does your process take?
A typical "programmatic" SEO initiative should take about 8 weeks to go live. Not every scalable SEO initiative I work on with a client is strictly and simply "programmatic"; so the actual timelines may vary.
Do you just provide strategy? Can you execute?
My primary value-add to my clients is strategy: everything else is generally outsourceable at a rate lower than my own. That said, I am a  software engineer, have copywriting skills, and regularly subcontract with designers - so I'm able to work with you to gap-fill any talent gaps that your team might have.
Do you do white hat or black hat SEO?
My approach is tailored for companies that will be around a long time (think 3-10 years+). So I focus on long-term, sustainable white hat strategies. I don't try to "trick" Google into ranking you well: you and I will collaborate on building valuable, meaningful content that does an excellent job serving Google searchers with the answers they're seeking.
What is the length of an engagement with you?
Because the simplest initiatives typically take 8 weeks to go live, most engagements will last a minimum of 2-3 months. My contracts operate on a month-to-month commitment.
What is your rate / pricing?
Pricing can vary on a client-by-client basis - especially if you want me to gap-fill engineering/development/design talent gaps for you.

That said, I  expect most of my clients to be willing to allocate a minimum of $10k USD/month towards SEO - I work with companies where the end-goal (maybe after a few more rounds of funding) is to scale their SEO function into at minimum a multi-person full-time employee team.
