Jon Tucker's Experience

Senior Strategist

Compete Marketing Group

January 2005Present (8 years 5 months) Greater San Diego Area

At Compete Marketing Group, we help clients increase their search engine rankings to drive website traffic and grow revenue.

Our business clients appreciate our ability to develop comprehensive strategies that produce results. In addition, we take the time to ensure that all of our clients fully understand all elements of the strategy and how to gauge performance - this is rare in the online marketing / SEO industry.

Our marketing agency clients appreciate our ability to conduct industry-leading link building campaigns. In short, we acquire links for clients that are on legitimate (i.e. real websites with real human readers) and high authority websites (i.e. SEOmoz Domain Authority of 75+) within high quality content (i.e. content clients are happy to have their name on).
