PlattForm Advertising -
The PlattForm SEO team prides itself in being the leader of SEO in the education vertical. As an SEO Specialist at PlattForm Advertising in Kansas City, I strive to not only improve clients' traffic and lead flow, but improve our clients' web sites and overall presence on the Internet. At PlattForm Advertising, we are always one of the first to break into the latest technologies, including social media, web site development technology and testing, blogging, search engine marketing, overall marketing strategies, web site usability, proposal writing, traffic and lead analytics, and anything else that can help our clients' web sites succeed.
Self Ventures - AdPeak
I started AdPeak, a web design/development and online marketing company, as a job on the side. We have built web sites in HTML and CSS, but are now building nearly every web site development project in open source CMS's - and recommend it to all web developers. We use the Drupal CMS, since it is very flexible and powerful for what the internet has become and to satisfy user and client needs, but can build nearly anything.
Kansas City SEO Club
Joining the Kansas City SEO Club has helped me to share and further my knowledge with some of the best SEOs in the Kansas City metro area. The KC SEO web site has been built (in Drupal), and is a very informative site with all the bells and whistles.
Goals
I expect a lot from myself, hope people expect a lot from me, and - simply put - want to succeed. Anything I can do to not only help my web sites or client web sites to succeed is worth my while. I'm always up for a challenge, so - if anyone has one for me - let me know!
