Matt McGee’s Experience
-
Director of Strategic Search
KeyRelevance
(Internet industry)
July 2008 — Present (1 month)
I'm responsible for managing and executing online marketing efforts for clients big and small. This might take the form of an SEO campaign, social media marketing, local search efforts, or maybe blog/content development ... and often includes several of those strategies working together. Essentially, I'm responsible for helping clients reach their goals for profit and growth online. I love what I do!

Writer
SmallBusinessSEM.com
(Privately Held; Myself Only; Internet industry)
April 2006 — Present (2 years 4 months)
I started Small Business SEM in April, 2006, because there were (and still are) very few search marketing resources devoted to small businesses. I've been surrounded by small businesses my whole life, and hope that the ideas and discussion I share on the blog are helpful to small business owners and webmasters.
