01 / My story

STRATEGY FIRST.
ALWAYS DATA.

I'm an SEO, growth and business development strategist with 11+ years of experience, helping agencies, e-commerce brands, SaaS companies and local businesses across the US, UK, Canada, UAE and Bangladesh turn search into revenue.

My path started early, in cyber security. Curiosity about how websites really work pulled me into SEO, and I began my career right after passing my SSC exams. I built my first track record as a freelancer, completing successful projects for clients on Fiverr and Upwork.

From there I kept levelling up. I moved into paid marketing: Facebook marketing, Google Ads and other social media advertising, so I could grow businesses from every channel, not just organic search.

Next I joined companies in several roles, from SEO specialist and team lead to project manager, and grew into business development, strategic planning and agency group planning. Not just planning on paper: I've helped grow several agencies from zero to their first client and beyond. At the same time I've been running my own agency and building SaaS tools for our industry, seven products so far.

A big part of my work is helping local businesses win in their area: trade schools, cleaning companies, HVAC contractors, dentists, lawyers and more. With local SEO, Google Business Profile and Google Ads, I turn local searches into calls, bookings and leads.

Today my focus is strategic planning and business development: building the plans, teams and systems that help businesses and agencies grow.

Outside client work you'll find me at industry conferences and local SEO meetups, learning from peers and sharing what works.
